The Robins Nest Forum

Typical comments from some quarters. A win is a win. Usually teams look woeful because they are made to look woeful. It is a huge step forward for the teams progress and confidence. I’m not getting carried away, Saturday will be a bigger test but we looked like a half decent football team last nigh...

That was 10 men obviously lol

Well the feeling you get from a good win is priceless!!! Although it was against 20 men from practically the get go those lads where terrific last night and with a bit more composure is well might have been 10/11. And yes the kids had a great time, thought Maddox deerverd his MOM McAlinden is a grea...

The grandkids are really excited to be able to chat an evening game as it’s half term and the price is great. As mentioned I’m an above post I to hope they play a lot of the reserve players but not so to save the “real team” but to show them there shirts aren’t safe, I still feel we have good player...

Duff does seem like a nice guy but just speaks the usual reterick , I heard resently that he is a bit of aYES man which may be a reflection of his age perhaps, I hope it’s not the case but it would explain why he keeps insisting on playing the same loosing team ( give or take the odd change), player...

Problem is really we’re now in a deep rut... squad has some capability but zero confidence. To be fair the way a lot of our fans ridiculal some of the players I’m not surprised there no confidence, it be the same since the first game. Have an opinion guys not a lynch mob mentality. Rubbish the fans...

A lot of fans added to the situation we are in! We all were aware of the "new team" problem no matter who was to blame for that and instead of giving it a few extra weeks to settle they thought it was a good idea to force out the manager and single out new players for the blame when they ...

Hopefully the win will inspire a bit of confidence, however it was still a poor show and the lack of quality was ever present bar Maddox , let's see how our new manager sees it.

...to the great dynamic attacking verve in the first half vs Carlisle and the Cup game vs Colchester in the last two home games. Only one thing has changed since those games - but hey, it is what the fans wanted. Did you do your course in talking Bolloxese at Manchester Met ? Great that you can pic...

Bring in who we like!!!! If they don't get any service like at present nothing's going to change is it, we are desperate to fix the wrong part of the puzzle. Feed the forward get the goals it's simple. Excellent crosses in from Debayo and nice balls in from Broom and Maddox vs Carlisle. Striker was...

I still say the front men have little chance when we are constantly punting in high balls to a forward who's forte isn't in the air! Dozens of the same ball when he obvs isn't any good at it LMc I mean , the rest of his play is good as his his work rate, we should be playing to a players strengths w...

I thought the midfield were vastly improved today vs what I saw against Crawley Thomas had a solid if unspectacular game and put his foot on the ball well. In some areas agreed but the creativity us to infrequent and the strikers are getting no quality service in the crucial areas, we need more pas...

It's wrong to pick out lack of a good striker as the main problem in my option, the midfield can't get a decent ball direct to the forwards the passing and decition making is well below par! Iv been looking at some old clips of the Ex Exeter lad LMc to try and work out if he is worth some patients a...

It's understandable that GJ started with the team that won last however they where void of an time served striker today, I agree the game was decent we actually looked like we could have got the draw in the last 10

Looked like a windup toy today with no control or direction , thought he worked hard today but with no where near an end product.

It seems the blame is being laid at the feet of the forwards but if the ball isn't getting to them enough what are they ment to do, I didnt see this game but a pal who did tells me the midfield are not pulling they're wait, bad decition making poor delivery little forward play, this is the area the ...

Ok so that wasn't great but!!! It was the first really game with a vertically new squad, there was some positives like the defence wasn't half as bad as thought they might be infact the problem was more in te midfields distribution. MD showed he knows where to be in the box however he is a bit light...

Seems a bit nervous concidering he must have a few interveiwes under his belt by now, however he comes across as very professional and knowledgeable young man in what his expections are, Welcome and good luck for the season LMc.

I'm new to this forum but have followed it for more yrs than I care to remember, I feel GJ is a reasonably straight forward as far as football managers go, it was a good realistic interview, and yes then fans do play a big part in the confidence in team so even though we all have opinions we need to...

Rumour is Liam McAlindon is set to sign as well. Trained with us earlier on in preseason before heading to Chesterfield That would be a strange signing and surely not what we need? A player released by Exeter and one we didn't offer terms to earlier this summer now being chased confuses me. My cous...
