He just gave him a four year contract when he already had two years left - his third contract in 2.5 years. He’s got the safest job in the division, and what anybody thinks of the suggestion is irrelevant in that regard.

But it looks like his 4 year contract is a waste of money.

 

[LeftSideBoy]

Yes he is on a 4 year contract and it’s now time for Tiger to cut his losses and pay up KR’s contract. He’s played the same way all season and teams know and take the puss out of us

And how much do you think that will cost? Do you honestly expect the club to stump up nearly £1million quid to sack a manager that has had a bad start to the season? Do you think we have that kind of money? Paying that kind of money out in this climate could take us under. Think before you type..

 

[bazzer9461]

Probably time for Elechi to start on Saturday at Wigan, which is now becoming a mighty big game.

Atkinson and/or Mousinho in from the start to allow Long to right back.

The rest...a breather for Henry, Cooper and Agyei in the mix somewhere and 90 minutes for Sykes.

Where was Cooper tonight ? He was missed

 

[BigCrompy]

Spot on. It amazing what happens when players do the basics competently and pretty consistently. Whilst KR takes his share of blame, every player takes theirs as well as they couldn't consistently do the basics.

Not only that, they're trying the fancy stuff long before even earning the right to do the basics.

Early in the first half, perhaps even our first corner...playing it short, first recipient loses it and the ball's back in our half within seconds.

Whatever happened to getting the ball in the mixer and challenging the oppo's defence?

Football's not a particularly complicated game, especially down here in the depths of Division 3. Why do we always try to make it so...?

The recruitment has been shambolic since Robinson has been here, ok last seasons wasn’t to bad but still had to wait until January for the recruitment to look decent. The problem with Robinson and his recruitment he says what he wants and we know who he’s looking at but it’s getting closer to the deadline and we end up losing out and end up with the 3rd or 4th choice because our 2nd choices have been snapped up by other teams. CLARE a RB? He lost out by going for a player O’Donnell last season and didn’t want to come went for him this season and still didn’t want to come so we end up with a non RB playing RB. FFS you couldn’t make this up......

Recruirment had been awful since he got here but it was brilliant last year therefore its awful and his fault?

Its not even his job!

One too many tonight bazzer?

Wholesale changes needed in January but neither Tiger nor the club have a pot to P**s in.

Have you heard of the salary cap?

They will have to do what other properly run clubs do when the football has been s**t and you are facing relegation so early in the season negotiate a pay off.

 

[Hackney Jack]

I've been saying for 2 years I'm far from a fan of robinson but even I can see this isn't his fault

But its his team? He knew Dickie was leaving, and other areas needed firming up?

 

[Oufcrealist]

Why oh why does KR keep playing the same way?
Poor substitutions, poor tactics and a team that, apparently, had never played together before this evening.

I don't think he knows how to play any other way. He has experimented a couple of times but he can't wait to go back to the only way he knows how!

No just an honest observation and with this recruitment shambles either he has to go or we bring a better recruitment team and someone above him in a role that would include recruitment that wouldn’t include Robinsons bullshit recruitment tactics.

 

[bazzer9461]

Have you heard of the salary cap?

You get rid of the waste and with that their wage do players could be brought in

Recruitment isn't KR's job? What?

 

[Oxford84]

Serves you right to be fair for calling Thames Valley Police on Crewe when you knew you had no centre halves. Justice done, Crewe should have been awarded the 3 points anyway. Night lads, much love x

Covid spreading prick

 

[Salaghaf]

Tonight was embarrasing.

 

[carefreeoufc]

People thinking Tiger is going to fix it.... he’s not got a scooby! We don’t even know if he’s got any cash.

When we agreed to sell Dickie (fair enough) and rely on an unproven centre half to support Moore we were always going to struggle. Add to that Eastwood has never been the same since his hand injury and his Mrs flogging the Nespresso machine to move up north and the writing was on the wall.

Poor old Taylor must be thinking back to that list of names Robinson gave him and wondering what the hell happened.

We were crap in the play off games and were lucky to get through, our recruitment in the summer was crap and we’re now having it served up to us in what was always going to be a car crash of a season because of the lack of fans, games being cancelled etc.

Still a long way to go but it’s going to take the players to step up and be counted and Robinson to adapt his ridiculous team selections and tactics. With no fans voicing their opinion at the final whistle it will be interesting to see whether we’re in for Groundhog Day.

 

[Sarge]

That was a shockingly bad performance all round.... drop at least 6 of tonights starting 11 ...play some of the young prospects they will (at least) give 100% effort ...and run through walls for the shirt ....and they cant do any worse than that embarrassment on show tonight

 

[uptheus]

It wasn’t

You sure?

 

[Oxford84]

Keeping up the two goals a game conceding average. That'll continue until the entire back four is replaced. Problem is Robinson isn't able to spot defensive talent.

Robinson out.

he doesnt do that though.

 

[ZeroTheHero]

Is there anyone at the club with the seniority to talk to KR about his choices and discuss what needs to be done? Presumably Faz is still about somewhere?
