You have a point, but Slade had a pre season with his players and Robbo inherited Slades team. Maybe it would be fairer to start the count for Robbo after the window shuts. It gives him a modicum of time to get players in and work with them.
Robinson's 9 also include games against sides in and around the top 6 - Bradford, Peterborough, Southend, Bristol Rovers while Slade had the luxury of facing Shrewsbury and a clutch of teams going nowhere in this league.
Remarkable how the records are similar but it's fair to say KR's points have been harder earned than Slade's.
And if we want to really pick the bones we can exclude the 2 cup games vs MK Dons which may then nudge KR ahead of Slade after 7 games.
Edited - forget some of the teams I originally listed were outside the first 9 games but fair to say KR's fixtures have been far more challenging than Slade's.
8 goals in 10 games after all his talk of attacking, pushing football is not the greatest of starts. Let's hope it clicks in soon, with the added pace in the squad there is a chance I guess.
There are similarities, but I think it's fair to say we are looking a better side at the moment on the whole.
Slade had a full pre-season, albeit didn't have anything like a squad until later on in that period.
But his first 9 games I am sure he had Holmes, Rudd, Lookman, Novak, Magennis, Solly, Pearce etc with easier games on paper.
Robinson hasn't had that luxury in my opinion. Give him a little bit of time, and I am sure his next 9 will be looking a lot more positive than it currently is by using the stat you've used.
Nugent's record was considerably better than either of them with two wins a draw and no losses but he was probably tainted by association with Slade and obviously couldn't talk a better job than Robinson.
It does not include our "rankings" in the Ms Nightmeire Fantasy Football League- Antwerp Division Three Table, where after nine games under Sir Gobby, we are 29 points clear at the top and have not conceded a goal since 1803.
Two very difficult matches coming up for KR. If KR hasn't increased his wins to 3 by the Wimbledon match I believe the pressure will start building on him.
as i dont think were in danger of going down i would give karl the gig till the end of the season, our destination regarding playoffs will become clear around end of march, from a footballing perspective we would be better being the form side going into the playoffs, something that roland wouldnt get because hes a wolly.

KR went cap in hand to Belgium and Douchebag said no - any failure will be down to Douchebag's chronic under-investment in the squad and over-reliance on youngsters. Even our Daisy would have a hard time explaining another managerial change... I'm not KR's biggest fan, but I reckon his unbridled enthusiasm will see him through to the end of the season: after that it depends where we finish. If we stay in L1 he might be tempted by a better offer elsewhere anyway, which would be another fat cheque in Roland's back pocket.

On the other hand Slade had sorted out a lot of the behind the scenes problems according to the liar and KR himself.
Also Slade didn't have Congo Chris helping him.
But the similarity is amazing. Great stat work
