Do I think Robinson has the ability to guide us to the playoffs whether it be this or next season?
Yes.
Do I think he can get us promoted through them?
Questionable, will never get a better chance than that Wycombe game.
If we got promoted do I think he'd keep us in the Championship?
Not a hope in hell, even with a good budget.
Genuinely interested to hear opinions on those questions.
Playoffs - yes, he’s capable of that and proven it. Winning them remains a different beast.
Promotion - this season, no. There will be two teams better than Oxford for the 2021-22 campaign for the autos. Playoffs are just as tough. It’s a very tough gig getting promoted from this level.
Keeping us up - The point is moot as I don’t think he is capable of automatics nor do I think he has the edge to take us up. However, his one and only season at that level ended in relegation. Teams are yo-yoing between Championship and League 1 more than ever now and sides that have bigger budgets than us come straight back down again. It would be mightily difficult to stay up.
