I detest Swindon, but I wouldn’t wish that s**t on them.

‘Robinson played for Swindon as a teenager and has previously admitted that he is still in touch with his landlady from that time.’

“I have no issues [with Swindon], the first three years of my young life and everything I am as a person has probably come from here.'

Say no more.

A match made in heaven, hope he goes there

Be lovely of him to drag them down to the National League with him, he'd actually go up in my estimation

What an admission!

Explains a lot though.

He’s got previous for those sort of comments:

Another defeat tonight. Can’t see him lasting the season.

KR team starting the season poorly? Who'd have seen that coming...

But come January when he has all his players on the grass, watch em go lol

 

[NottsYellow]

They have Chesterfield away on Saturday, another defeat looming?

Salford and Morecambe are the only teams left in the Football League that haven't scored a goal in any competition......

They're not known for being massively patient with their managers.....ice may be starting to get a little thin......

Perhaps they are trying to beat Cheltenham’s long run from last season.

Well, well. If it remains as it is, KR will have Salford City second in League 2.

After a slow start after the first 10 matches or so (Copyright Karl Robinson), Salford are on course for five wins in a row with three clean sheets.

Stephen Negru appears to be involved in their three man defence for most matches too.

 

[McXal]

Good thing points in August don’t count, isn’t it Karl…

 

[Berliner]

He is a solid League One/Two manager, it's not really a surprise.

 

[Basham Wonderland]

Has he done his customary 12 match winless run yet though?

 

[TobyDavis34]

It’s funny isn’t it, he got us really close to promotion twice in Covid times. I think we would all have a different opinion of Karl, if only we could have beaten Wycombe…

He’d never managed at League 2 level until he joined Salford. Agree on him being competent at that level. As frustrating as he can be on a personal level and as for his prolonged and much needed exit, he gave us some fun times.

January transfer window is upon us. He’ll be giving his usual ‘showing me workings’ spiel to the media and the three Salford fans before long.

We were well beaten against Blackpool in the play off semis, so twice is a push.

 

[Steve Gilbert]

Has a manager ever triggered a section of the fan base so much like KR did and still does?

I think he'd be generally well regarded if he'd walked that final summer when his heart clearly wasn't it in any more. We'd view him as a nearly man, but a manager who produced some good teams and some excellent football.

Instead he mailed it in and almost got us relegated, and I think that's the source of the majority of the anti-Karl sentiment......

There was a lot of hate for Wilder for a while from some of our fanbase.

You tell us, Steve. Has anyone triggered you as much as KR?

Is there any other OUFC manager that you were still wishing to comment on, some 22+ months after they’d left?

22 months? That's beginner grudge holding.

ASPREY OUT!!!

Having an opinion on a long term ex manager who is still in the game and how he is doing is not really being triggered?

Absolutely this. He was a good manager for us, though clearly had defects (hence why he was in League 1).

He knew how to put an attacking side together, and loved a goal. Just couldn’t adjust tactically.

He just completely lost the plot and phoned it in for the last year, almost begging to be sacked and paid off, it was an extraordinary situation., he needed a break as much as we did.

As you said, he was often found out tactically. I would also say we did have a very good squad in that 2019-2020 season; probably slightly better than the one we went up with last season.

There was also a lot of hate and vitriol thrown at Liam Manning, with some people deliberately ramping it up before we played at Bristol City.

 

[Belgium Yellow]

lol he was strutting around again today and chit chatting with Pep almost as if he hadn’t just lost 8-0 to a bunch of kids.
