Apart from the fact the kid seems to have chosen all the broken and nasty tasting sweets that nobody else will eat[emoji848]
Not sure how to feel about it all now after last night. I’m really trying to stay positive as there’s nothing else we as fans can do. I still think with the likes of Nelson and Holmes to come back in that we’ll have enough to see off Plymouth on Saturday, who by all accounts were also woeful last night. It’s not going to be a classic on Saturday that’s for sure! But I have to say Robinson is really worrying me now. When watching his pre-match interview on ifollow I was really surprised at his body language. His smugness and arrogance seems to have cranked up another notch. The post match interview on RO also smacked of the same. He rambles on like someone who’s now got used to not being challenged by anyone. I really think we’re seeing what happens when somebody with the wrong type of character gets given too much power and free reign. It’s like a child being let loose in a sweet shop.
This is the ......million dollar question..KR did say as an aside last night that he had "a few internal questions' himself..hanging on his every utterance atm what did he mean??One thing the puzzles me is that last season, when KR came in he assessed the players we had, relatively quickly organised us and got rid of the deadwood. Personally I was amazed at how well we were playing, considering haw terrible we were.
So how has he managed to go backwards to a level below Pep? Yet I think most would agree on paper we have better players?
Its all good having the arrogance, but i doubt he will be so smug when he has relegation from league 1 on his CV.
Everyone is at a cross roads. Do we accept Tiger wont pull the trigger and support what we are stuck with. Or continue with 'Robinson out' which doesnt really help the team.
Saturday will all be about the team giving the fans something to back. 20mins of passing it around the back with the occasional 25 yard shot isnt going to cut it
He also said that last night didn’t matter, it’s all about preparation for Saturday. So losing at home to a team near the bottom of league 2 is good preparation is it?! Little he says makes much sense at the moment..The loss itself in isolation doesn’t matter with it being in this competition.
What is more of a concern is that a fairly strong side, albeit not full strength, lost at home to a side from the league below and sounded like it was probably just about deserved.
The way he spoke about a goal last night was as if long distance goals shouldn’t count, it was ridiculous
No it's not, it's 4 down. Even better odds.Dont see what difference beating Plymouth makes if we cant beat anyone else in the division. Its 3 down.

Irrelevant, as we’ll finish bottom.Do you know i even checked it before i posted it and still got it wrong!
Away to 'city ...if they get through the final qualifying round?Four weeks to the FA Cup First Round. Drawn away to a non-league club.............makes me shudder just thinking about it. I know what everyone will say. "Its the league that counts". Even so...
Would've been nice if it had looked like the league counted up to this point too. Getting gubbed by the Rose & Crown 2nds really shouldn't make a difference - all it will do is confirm what we already know and what has been staring us in the face for the vast majority of games these last 10 or so weeks.Four weeks to the FA Cup First Round.

Does anyone have any cause for optimism on the playing side.....anything at all??
Interesting comment. Does he mean people employed at the club?Just read this on Plymouth’s forum, they’ve got it worked out alright....
“Oxford have a poor manager but a generally promising team. Eastwood, Nelse, James Henry, Marcus Browne (loaner from West Ham), Baptiste, young direct midfielder- all quality players. Also Gavin Whyte who scored for N Ireland on his debut. They lack a striker and a coherent system . Robinson is a scam artist of a manager who does self publicity well enough but no one at Oxford I know is convinced.”
