    Early days again but dont look like much has changed with old Robinson!!

    Lost 4-2 tonight and down in 16th - Not brilliant when he was backed quite a bit in the summer

    Seems Fosu started the first two games yet only got 20-mins tonight after missing the last two games
    Played 90 minutes yesterday and got a booking
  • Be a bit awkward if they do get rid seeing he's just been given a three year deal!!... Nothing has changed since last season though; Oxford got out of trouble and so high up the league because it was so tight at the bottom

    With his signings this year they should be challenging for the Play-Offs at the very least!!
  • Oxford did lose again this time to Bristol Rovers

    After getting 4 points from the first 2 games they have got 0 from the next 3.

    14 players in this summer, wonder how long he will get 
    9 conceded in those 3 games too, suggests where their problems are.

    Great performance by Peterborough today but a home 4-0 defeat isn't good...
    When did Karl Robinson return to MK Franchise
    I posted some real rubbish yesterday (even more than usual!). I blame the sun

    Wouldn't be surprised if one of our youngsters ends up there on loan

    The managers lack of tactical knowledge

    Lost 2-1 to Fleetwood.  1 place from relegation. Keep going.

    At least he’s being more flexible with formations.

    Believe it or not that was our last defeat in the league.

    Both are the only two to beat us in 2019 (League)

    Fleetwood? Not (as we lost to Oxford). Certainly been an impressive 2019 though.

    We lot to Oxford away. Our last defeat at home was either Coventry or Wycombe in a game we were in control off. We did lose to Doncaster of course the play offs? However, just like Mourinho I don't count that as we won the game on penalties and wasn't in the league.

    Coventry were the last away winners at the Valley

    In the regular league, excluding Doncaster in the play-offs and Forest Green in the Carabao Cup.

    Will probably end up being 4th from bottom & survive relegation because of Bury.

    I'm going to have to do a Jose Mourinho on this one:

    The Doncaster play-offs were a 2 legged tie - only the overall result counts: 4-4 (aet) Charlton  go through on penalties.

    The Carabao Cup tie v Forest Green (with 11 changes to the starting lineup): 0-0 Charlton eliminated on penalties.

    We can clearly see both games were drawn ..... and in the spirit of Mourinho, Charlton remain undefeated at The Valley since the Coventry home game. :smile:

  • He surely wont be there much longer, they must be massively under performing against their expenditure in that division.

    awful manager

    I think he’s fairly decent at spotting players but his arrogance and lack of any tactical awareness stop him being any good

    Yeah I would agree with that. Been done to death on here but it's definitely his tactical stubborness that's going to hurt his career the most. Although maybe he doesn't have enough about him to change it up.
  • Certainly struggling in league 1 with a half decent budget suggests he’ll never be anything more than a lower league manager. He’ll always be dining out on that year he got MK dons promoted (and subsequently relegated).

    As I have said before he may have benefitted early on by having the experienced John Gorman as his assistant. As well as Delle Ali coming through

    When discussing Robbo. 

    Let's remember that he brought both Bowyer and also Gallen to the club. 
  • Ken Craggs brought Lennie Lawrence.

    That Bowyer and Gallen have done so well without Tarbuck tells us all we need to know about his management abilities.

    I still like karl. He showed  a passion for the club and had to manage in some turbulent times. Of course bow has had the same problems and performed better, but that's due to bowyers brilliance more than robbos innadaquces imo. Robbo did some good things and I would clap him if I saw him. Much preferable to Slade and Fraeye

    Slightly different 

    Bowyer didn’t want to become a manager and was persuaded to come in  Lawrence applied for a job as Reserve Team Manager after seeing the advert in the Daily Express 

    I agree that he wasn’t a particularly good manager

     Robinson would probably make a decent Assistant Manager.
    He evidently works pretty well with players, open and warm.

    It's just as Manager that his limitations are exposed.


    PS: I nearly said he'd make a good number 2, before I realised some posters may say that's what he talks every day. :smile:
