Measuring only by the % win rate is taking every draw as a loss, and not accounting the league level.
Robinson did have positive stats (27W-26L) but except for Slade/Nugent the others competed in the C-ship. Peeters with 7W-8L is undone by the % win rate, drawing 13.
With only 2 draws Bowyers win rate is decent but 7W-7L really is pretty bad "aiming for automatic promotion".1 -
Disagree on Peeters.Alwaysneil said:Riga was ok. Slade, Fraeye, Peeters, Robinson and Luzon all shit.
He got the defence and midfield sorted but could not get the final third working.3 -
Peeters is still Manager of Westerlo0

KR deserves to be judged on the football we played under him not whether or not he made a couple of okay signings - only at Charlton would supporters defend a manager based on a few slightly above average signings.
The plodding pedestrian predictable football we played was hard to watch. By the time he left we were going backwards and what made it worse was the drivel he came out with - he never learnt when to keep his mouth shut.
Couldn't understand why Oxford wanted him?13 -

spent a considerable amount - nice bloke having met him once - but ultimately not a v good manager, and a master of bullshit bingo1

Think he has got away with a lot by being friendly and chatty - imagine as others have said he'll end up in the media. Possibly the new Robbie Savage?(I don't mean this as a compliment).palarsehater said:spent a considerable amount - nice bloke having met him once - but ultimately not a v good manager, and a master of bullshit bingo

A lot of people saying that he made some good signings - which is true. But can we give him the full credit for them - what about our recruitment team that changed back to proper scouting that season?2

We were the last team to lose a match in the championship that season.ElfsborgAddick said:

Big Bob played a rigid system where he told the full backs not to get forward; this was confirmed by Wiggins at a meeting.
This was a bad move in home matches.
What did for Bob was Igor injury plus 3 gilt edges chances missed in last minutes of matches at the valley when we couldn't buy a win.1 - Sponsored links:

Congratulations on the Karl Robinson thread reaching 100 pages.
Posters expending more wind than even our erstwhile manager.

The day that being called "the new Robbie Savage" becomes classed as a compliment is the day I stop living on Earth and move to Neptune to start my own Invitation-only civilization.hoof_it_up_to_benty said:

I'm starting to miss Robbo, not so much for the abysmal football he delivered, but I did look forward to reading the drivel he came out with to explain our latest poor performance. One of my favourite post match press conferences was probably after we drew at home to Bury last season:
"“Everyone knows Bury are in a false position. Everyone knows they’ve got top players that will compete against teams in this league."
Bury were relegated last season, bottom of the table, 15 points from safety, with a goal difference of -30. Well done Karl.36 -

I used to love his pre-match video ..... where he would go into some detail to tell us (and the opposition) exactly how we would play that day.

Not that they gained much of an Advantage. The opposition scouts didn't have to watch us very much to know how we'd play.Oggy Red said:

Of course, Robbo overtalked to such an extent that none of our players could remember what to do in the match.Scoham said:

Think you'll find there's a good chance of finding Fraeye at Roland's new hotel waiting tables, carrying suitcases, doing the washing up and everything else a good butler does.Athletico Charlton said:
Luzon in top 3 of our best managers for last few years shows what a clusterfuck of a club we have become. Just looked up all of the managers Duchâtelet has appointed at Charlton, what successful careers they have gone on to have...simonmatthews said:Thought Robinson was an OK League One manager. Limited, but, on balance OK and he had achieved promotion from that level previously.
For me, since the January 2014 change of ownership our best managers have been Bowyer and Jackson (not too many games yet to assess them on but based solely on the late burst that got us to the play-offs) followed by Riga and Luzon (notwithstanding both of them having periods where they couldn't get results)...our most average Peeters and Slade....and our worst by some distance Fraeye. I'd put Robinson in that list slightly above Peeters/Slade.
- Riga now managing a team in Tunisia called Club Africain who are a multi sports team!
- Luzon managing an Israeli team in Jerusalem who have recently announced they will add ‘Trump’ to the team name permanently in honour of you know who!
- Peeters managing Westerlo, a second division team in Belgium who look similar in size to Colchester.
- Fraeye surprisingly unemployed.
- Kevin’s Nugent now unemployed.
- Slade unemployed
- Robinson seemingly soon to be unemployed.3 - Sponsored links:

Why do it other than you enjoy the sound of your own voice.
No one at any club has ever done this before or since.3 -
Some bullshit from Saturday's thrashing:
http://www.oxfordmail.co.uk/sport/16585540.oxford-united-players-need-to-believe-more-says-karl-robinson-after-third-successive-league-loss/
Sympathetic Karl
“I’m not using excuses, we know we’ve underperformed, but it will turn – I know that for a fact,” he said. “I feel sorry for the players, because they’re trying their best.
Look forward to reading that "some of these players are not fit to wear the shirt" after Tuesday's feeble capitulation at home to Accrington Stanley.
Karl the victim
He said: “I just feel they’ve got to believe a little bit more. We’ve got to stick together and get behind them. You have to take all of the negativity, but it doesn’t help either.” He added: “It’s not nice, it hurts me. “It digs deep, but you have to be a leader of men and take the criticism. We go away with a nasty feeling in our stomach and wanting to put it right.”
Karl, when you talk, I go away with a nasty feeling in my ears and brain and want to put you in a soundproofed room at the bottom of the sea.19 -
this - met him at city addicks and he tried to come across as a bit of a lad, but nice chap.hoof_it_up_to_benty said:
