    Karl is the reason we have both Gallen and Bowyer, so I have no bad feelings to him.

    Never quite got the Karl Robinson hate club. Yes he was never right for us but practically nobody would have been at that point. I think he’s genuinely passionate and does what he thinks is best. Personally I hope he turns it around at Oxford.
    Yes, I've nothing against him personally either

    I see Oxford play Ipswich on Tuesday, a massive game for both clubs and managers

    I neither love nor hate the man.
    I just think he is a poor manager. 
    10% talent 
    90% talks bullshit.

    If he's a success or a failure I couldn't really care less.
    I'm just glad he's no longer with us.

    Not sure why, but I'm feeling unusually cheerful this morning.

    Convincing defeat for Oxford = several paragraphs of waffly bullshit

    https://www.oxfordmail.co.uk/sport/19312270.karl-robinson-oxford-uniteds-3-0-defeat-blackpool/

    General theme is that Oxford were brilliant despite getting thrashed. This bit in particular makes no sense at all:

    The U's head coach said: “I think there was nothing in the game, except for that three-and-a-half minute spell in the first half.

    "That’s very unlike us, the emotion of that moment got us a little bit edgy.

    So the Oxford players were suddenly overcome with emotion in the 23rd minute? That sounds very peculiar.

    There is one indisputable truth in Nobbo's post-match droning:

    He said: “It was the hardest walk around the football pitch I’ve ever had to do, I was biting my tongue while I was clapping.

    I don't think any of us have ever been confronted by anything as challenging as Karl Robinson trying to "bite his tongue".

    Well done Blackpool. 5-0 at least in the second leg please.

    Yup, and if my auntie had bollocks she'd be a significantly better football manager than Karl Robinson. Actually, the bollocks are irrelevant. She is a significantly better football manager than Karl Robinson.

    It's all about opinions:

    For Karl Robinson to get Oxford into 6th place was a good achievement.

    Just like Lee Bowyer he lost his best players and had to try to work with less.

    I would always play two strikers in League 1 and Championship with a goal scoring winger/,midfielder to back them up. Doesn't mean they goal hang but when on the attack the best teams always have options when attacking. Nothing is more frustrating other than missing penalties in the last minute against promotion rivals than a winger breaking away and having one marked striker to aim at

    Fosu was not considered good enough for Cafc in the latter part of his cafc career in League 1 under Bowyer yet had played well under Robinson. By going to Oxford he resurrected his career under Gobinson and got the move to Brentford and started the first leg of the Championship play off semi final.

    Players or managers struggling at Cafc don't always have a correlation on their abilities at other clubs.

    Ps. I was pleased Karl moved on and Lee moved on because it was good for both of them and Cafc at that time.

    He's done a decent job this season, although I have to say I don't think they'll do it again next season if, as now looks certain, they don't go up.

    Rightly or wrongly, MrLargo just doesn't like Robinson. If you go back over this thread you'll find them taking quite glee when Robinson has lost, definitely been the most active on this thread. 

    I don't think we are in a position to gloat though, let's not forget Robinson is in the play offs at our expense.

    Great manager of the limit of your ambition is failing to get promoted via the League One playoffs. Out of his depth of the expectation is anything more than that. 

    Don’t hate the guy, he did okay for us in the circumstances but we were never truly any good under him either.

    Left a building block for Bowyer to improve and take us to the next level. Imagine KR will get another attempt to get them up next season. Hundred percent got Oxford over achieving when they finished above us, Portsmouth and Ipswich.

    are Oxford over achieving? The league table doesn’t lie and in the last two years they have got into the play offs twice. In the same time, Ipswich 0, Sunderland 1 and Portsmouth 1

    Surely that's exactly the point? He's got Oxford into the play offs when you would expect Sunderland, Ipswich, Portsmouth and even us this season to beat them into it.
