About when we sign a player or two....when do you think that will be Kip ??
Some of his wage? Some of his wage?!If we are going to guess then I would say it’s more likely than Clare wanted more game time and Robinson couldn’t/wouldn’t promise him that, little bit of of an argument and getting some of his wage of the bill will have looked a lot more enticing to us.
He has looked ok as winger off the bench but he in no way offers any cover at the back, be more effective not having a right back than him playing there again, he was that bad in that role.
Highly likelySome of his wage? Some of his wage?!
Please, God, tell me we haven’t loaned out Sean Clare while still paying some of his wages?!?!?

Top targets as speculated on an Internet forum, or as confirmed by the club? I have only Karl on 5FF saying we were interested in Whyte, I assume Hull paid Cardiff a greater proportion of his salary. Nothing was said about breaking the bank for him. We move on.To be fair Kip has got a point, it’s seems our top targets have gone elsewhere.
Obviously not, but Robbo likes to make out he's some sort of genius, with fresh, unique ideas, that mere mortals such as us fans are not capable of understanding.Yep Robinson is actively trying to make us lose really.
Anyone ever told you how to do your job before despite the fact they dont have any experience and youve had years?Obviously not, but Robbo likes to make out he's some sort of genius, with fresh, unique ideas, that mere mortals such as us fans are not capable of understanding.
I'd hate to burst your bubble Robbo, but it ain't rocket science mate!!
If he'd kept Clare in the squad, he would have had no choice but to accept that he was wrong, and what all the fans were calling for was in fact the correct thing, and he would've had to have played him further forward, which would've been a big dent to his ego, and I think it's possible that he was sure he was gonna get Whyte in on loan, so thought he could just get rid of Clare, then lap up all the plaudits for bringing in Whyte, and keep his ego in tact.
Unfortunately, Whyte went elsewhere, and now we don't even have Clare to fall back on, and Robbo looks a little bit silly.
Let's just hope he's got an ace up his sleeve before the window closes...
I don't think anyone's claiming to be experts, just spitballing, and clutching at straws, while we wait for something to happen!Have we signed anyone? No, just some pontificators and self important experts on here
Yep, all the time, and it's bloody annoying, but if they were right, and I was wrong, I'd have no problem accepting it, and making the necessary adjustments.Anyone ever told you how to do your job before despite the fact they dont have any experience and youve had years?
Don’t think Elechi is ready for league football just yetIt looks like we are looking to get another CB?
We will then have enough defenders. Don't forget we have Nico Jones and Elechi (some on here were even arguing that he should replace Ruffels)

When does any football manager in the history of football admit its their fault ?theyd soon be out of a job if every week they said thats my fault for losing that game/signing that player,etc.For the record, I like Robbo, and have met him briefly once, before a game, shook his hand and had a brief chat, and he seems a lovely bloke, and from his interviews you can tell he's a good guy, who's heart is in the right place, and I really hope he does well here, and wherever he goes after us.
However, I do find his inability to accept his mistakes, and his tendency to blame others, rather than himself very frustrating at times. And he clearly has a very big ego, and can be very stubborn, which can be detrimental to our success at times, especially when it's simple tweaks, that every fan can see is needed, and every fan is screaming out for.
It's a common trait of people who are quite stubborn, egotistical and arrogant, that they can't accept their mistakes, or accept that they are wrong, and others might be right, as they see it as some sort of weakness if they do, well it's not, quite the opposite in fact.
He's a good manager, but it's this stubborn, egotistical arrogance that will always be his Achilles heel.
Anyway, he's here for the long haul, and clearly wants the best for the club, and after the now inevitable, customary slow, rocky start to the season, he's getting things moving along nicely again, so credit where it's due for that.
He'll get my support, and I'll praise him when he does well, on and off the pitch, but I won't shy away from criticising him either, if I feel it's deserved, and I'm sure all fans are the same.
NEVER!!When does any football manager in the history of football admit its their fault ?theyd soon be out of a job if every week they said thats my fault for losing that game/signing that player,etc.
By the way,youre wrong and you need to accept it!
