Okay some of you don't see promotion and developing players success. Maybe he was lucky.

Agreed he has been a dick in the past, and will probably continue to have some silly interviews but, considering we were nailed on to get Bellamy, Sol Cambpell, Lampard, I am happier with this appointment than the others mentioned... even if it was one of those mentioned I would get behind them and give them a fair crack at the job because I am not in a position, not being the owner, to do much else!

Nice try but having one successful season that followed 3 unsuccesful seasons and was then followed by another 3 unsuccessful seasons doesn’t amount to a ‘history of success’.

I don’t think he can take much credit for the rise of Dele either although he’ll probably try.

In fact, with some those MK teams he had and the talented youngsters at his disposal I would say he was pretty disappointing.

I’m not usually, well never, on the side of our yellow friends, but I think they are right that of the weird and wonderful names bandied about, Robinson was the best of the bunch. All managers depend on decent players and, more crucially, a decent chairman to back them.

Would anybody have succeeded at Charlton with the Belgians in charge?

When Wilder left us to go to Northampton we were also quite bitter.

Fuck me it's like looking in a mirror.

I'll be the first to admit that I wasn't best pleased when I saw that he was in the frame but after thinking about it rationally it could be a lot worse.

Now, I don't like the bloke particularly and I hate that he's always full of excuses, I much prefer a manager to come out and say we weren't good enough rather than blaming this, that or the other.

However, overall he did do a good job at MK, has years of L1 experience and has won promotion from this league, according to the owners (haha!) promotion is the aim at the earliest attempt so that already makes Robinson more qualified for the job than Slade ever was.

He seems to do well with young players and I believe our academy was part of the reason he was interested in the job and MK often brought in some very good loan players over the years so would be useful if he is able to bring in the same calibre as he did there.

As always under this regime though, it's all about whether he is actually allowed to get on with his job and manage, if he is then I think he can be a success here and is a better option than Slade was.

This is Charlton though, so it probably won't even be him!

It’s a fair point. He didn’t have it easy here granted, which is why I was more focused on his time at MK.

That said, our squad is talented enough to be cementing a place in the play-offs or even challenging for the top 2 evidenced a few times earlier in the season, Bowyer even got one of those performances out of the reserves last Saturday. He certainly underachieved here with the squad he had.

Fuck me it's like looking in a mirror.

It’s hardly at all the same the thing though, is it?

I said he had L1 experience, not a history of success. Almost two years have passed since that post and he’s had no further success.

When I referenced his ONE promotion, I was comparing him to the outgoing Russell Slade who had none. Hardly a glowing endorsement.

Yeah, I complimented on him working with youngsters and his loan signings. Which I stand by as he did bring in a few good loans for us.


Yes, I originally thought he could be a success but I now have 16 months of watching a Robinson team and now know he can’t be.

For the record, I never said he was a bad a manager or that there isn’t worse options out there, I simply said he doesn’t have a history of success, which he doesn’t. For some reason it’s upset you that much that you’ve gone to the lengths of finding a post from almost two years ago to prove nothing at all

But if our manager said something like that after getting trashed 3-0, think I'd be worried about the future.

Sounds like you worry too much

Couldn't believe his interview after the game, didn't see the full match so can't comment to much on it. But if our manager said something like that after getting trashed 3-0, think I'd be worried about the future.

It was his first game in charge, of a team low on confidence, and low on talent, we genuinely were playing well up until getting the penalty, what happened from there is one in a million stuff

It was a good performance generally until Mowatt shit the bed and I don't think there's anything at all wrong with acknowledging that

 

[Robie]

Funny that you mention shitting the bed in a post at 0329hrs.

I beg to differ, a couple of seasons back we were 2-0 down to Bristol City, we grab one back early in the second half then concede a penalty and have Sam Hutchinson sent off, they hit the post from the spot it rebounds out to almost half way and Gary O'Neil commits a foul which earns him a second yellow, we went on to win 3-2 in stoppage time.

I thought Oxford, after the early brain freeze played well and but for a bit of fortune would have taken something from game, idiocy by Mowatt and blatant cuntishness by Thompson swung the game back to Pompey.
