Ex-Staff Karl Robinson

[SteMerritt]

We had won our last five league fixtures (with the last one being the 3-2 win at Shrewsbury after being 0-2 down).

No one will really know how it would have panned out in the nine remaining games but momentum was with us.

Average attendance for that season (prior to the COVID stoppage) was only 7,460. It makes you realise the strides we've made in recent years with the numbers through the gates.

Just think, we could have lifted a trophy after beating Bolton in May... Just imagine what that could have been like

Who knows? As @holdsteady says, we were always streaky under Robbo - superb runs and terrible ones back-to-back. One thing is for sure, and that is that Wycombe would have been nowhere near promotion - they were dropping like a stone after a fast start, and snuck into the play-offs on dubious calculations despite sitting 8th. Having said that, although that Wembley final was painful, in hindsight I'm glad it was them not us that had a Championship season with no crowds. We've been able to experience it again properly, which they never have (bless 'em).

A very enjoyable listen. As others have said, he comes across a great bloke but also partial to some dodgy versions of the truth.

It’s nice to hear he’s in a good place now. It’s easy to forget some of those great cup nights and league wins we had under him.

I’ve not thought much about that Wycombe final for a few a years now, but it really was a sliding doors moment.

The Matty Taylor departure story was bizarre, the club basically let him go while KR was having a shower after rejecting two offers?!

Others comments have been mentioned, but a lesser one was his comment that “still to this day nobody knows what happened against Bradford.” Eh? I’m pretty sure we knew at the time they were appealing that our goal kick that started the move had been received by a player inside our own box (against the rules at the time). Not sure it’s every been a mystery for longer than the five minutes after it happened?!

Anyway, a really good interview. Nice one to the guys for getting it.

Im enjoying listening to Karl on RadOx tonight before the game. He’s clearly still invested in how OUFC do and probably regrets what happened.

Mentioned Jim Smith and how he sought him out to help him with understanding the area.

I don’t, like others, think he’s a bad bloke to be honest. A big shame how it ended; but he did give us a few seasons of very attractive football and some good moments in the process.

He’s on the comms team for the match - let’s see how that goes!

Just tuned in, was wondering who it was for a few seconds.

Would you take him back if we went down? Gave us some great nights of football, signed some great players

Bloody hell, the ink isn’t dry yet on Bloomfield’s contract

Still a lying bastard, then. He can fuck right off.

100% No.

Yeah no.

His time has been, he had his chance.

Same, was trying to work out when an accent like that played for us.

I think he may be in love with Mark Sykes.

I mean, he was one of our better Robinson-era players

A tear rolls down Brannagan’s cheek.

 

[Oxymoron]

Some good observations into why we are so toothless; we certainly would be a bit more "adventurous" if KR could get some input into the style of play that we should employ.

Yeah we’d lose 5-3 rather than 1-0

He talks pretty sensibly but his voice is painful on the ears

 

[foghorn]

Quite enjoying Robbo's comments - nostalgic vibes!

Agreed and you can tell he still cares about the club. He also speaks like a fan at times which I like.

f**k it…Robbo in!

KR is a really good listen this evening. Far better on co-comms than the likes of PRB and Eddie O

Bring him home….

He does like to stroke his ego frequently, but he is a great listen and you can feel he still cares about the club which I respect about him to be honest.

He sounds like the Robbo we had when we were at our best in league 1. He is clear with what he wants from a team and calls a spade a spade.

Definitely a trip to spec savers, with I trouble in the morning,

Such an honest man..

Honestly the fickleness of some people. Few nice words on a radio and he’s the second coming.

Listen to behind the badge podcast with him. He does hold the club in high regard and admits to his faults too.

We're the same fanbase that were comfortable with Liam Manning returning, what did you expect?

Actions speak louder than cheap words.

Few buzz words and people think his conduct the last 12 months at Oxford was acceptable. It was miles off it and the only reason he got away with it is because we have a p**s poor SMT.
