He conducts himself very well and seems a genuine bloke. I do worry about how he sets his team up to play expansive football without players good enough to do it. We can't keep teams out, we can't go to a top side and dig in. Pretty football with average players isn't good enough and he has said we can only play that way.
If he and his Recruitment Manager aren't backed in the winter, I think Robbo would question his own position. We really can't expect to stay in this league on the cheap, we will fall well short with this current squad.

I see formation has been mentioned a few times again - it'd be nice if there was a quick fix there but I don't think there is. 3-5-2 has worked well as a mid-game switch to catch the opponent out, but whenever we start with it (Wimbledon, Cheltenham etc) the same problems just reoccur. Last night we started with 4-4-2, which was a disaster against Sunderland's 3-5-2, and the same problems reoccured. At least we looked more comfortable as a team in a 4-3-3..

Ayunga started on the left in a 4-3-3 cutting inside where he nearly scored. Gnaoua was tracking back that much defending unlike Ayunga(Pogba) who couldn't always be arsed tracking back and was at fault for the first goal might have given you that impression we were 4-4-2.
i was sat that high up, i had a “birds eye view” just like playing FM21 in the cold.
And like under Sir Jim Bentley, Ayunga is like the new Phil Jevons, talented but very Lazy.Cisco Kid wrote:Reading this thread you could change the title to 'Bentley Out' and it is the same fans who are now calling out Robbo!
Little Shrimp is spot on with her summary in my very humble opinion.
There are half a dozen players who are not at this level and need replacing in the window. Robbo will see that too and have a plan.
The only thing I would say is drop Delaney and Ayunga now. Delaney is not good enough and Ayunga is a lazy player.
Let's keep supporting the team and give the manager time to put it right before we get the gallows out!

I include McDonald, Duffus, Gnaoua, Ayunga, and Delaney in that group and some of them were given two year contracts! We need some better players bringing in using the transfer money from Carlos and Sam and we need to be better organised than we are seeing currently. We also need the manager to appreciate quality when we have it. His misuse of Toums lately has been madness. How on earth can he justify bringing Wildig straight back after a lengthy period of injury and leave Toums on the bench. As others have said, the manager talks a good job but doesn't seem able to translate it into improvement on the pitch. He needs to improve things rapidly if he is not to be remembered as the first Shrimps manager in our history to lead us to relegation.

I understand the argument that he had to assemble players quickly but I am surprised several of them were given two year contracts. I also want to see players improved by the coaching they receive. The crunch comes in January. Are we able to sign players with the quality required and see improvements made to the squad ? If not, then I think SR will come under pressure.
