Deano will probably admit it before they do but I don't think he's that bad. Just a bit average

DH knows this only too well, if we get off to a poor start the first say 10 games I reckon Robins will be sacked. Most likely will be Thompson stepping up as manager

Pretty much every poster on here either doesn't rate him, or agrees he has to do a much better job than last season. |

It's going to be a very difficult season for MR. I really hope he pulls it off but can see him going by Christmas

I have sometimes defended Robins against what I have perceived as misguided/unfair criticism at times, so I suppose I could be counted as part of the love in brigade.
To answer your question, I can say that the point isn’t following a pre season friendly at Scunthorpe, or is it after any other meaningless pre season friendly. We shall see what transpires this season – I have confidence in our talent, others don’t, and that’s fine.
I find it disappointing that so many people are so unremittingly negative with absolutely anything pertaining to htfc, whether it be on the pitch or even with the North Stand Loyal. It really does beg the question: why are you even a fan of a club like Huddersfield Town? Because OP, you say you’ve been a fan since the 70s, surely then you can appreciate that Town are a fairly middling club. Town are never going to be successful enough to satiate some of the negatives on here, and even if they were, expectations would rise and it still wouldn’t be enough.
Can I be excited about the coming season? Can I have high expectations, or confidence in our club and players? Concerns are fine. Questions are great – everything should be questioned. I wouldn’t want to support Town through the prism of negativity that some do though. It’s much more fun to be positive.

I think people are perceiving negativity as negativity for negativities sake, it's not, it's how most people feel because of what's not happened during the pre-season, ie lack of quality signings.
We understand that the club are trying to do things a certain way and the club don't/won't have pots of cash to blast in the transfer market but this pre-season has been one of the worst on transfer activity since Horton signed no one and nearly got us relegated!!
If we are struggling to attract quality players and pay the going rate then we'll never be able to compete in this league and our Championship days will be pretty much numbered.

No win in the first three & we will be queuing up to lynch him.
No defeats & there will be a clamour to tie him down for the long term.
Enjoy the ride.

If the incoming players situation remains the same by the time the transfer window closes - then I'll be switching from the love camp to the puzzled camp. The club know very well what the teams limitations are from last season and where they went wrong. |

I'm not going to get worried by a pre season defeat and I'm not too bothered about our lack of signings at the moment. I think the signings will come but it has shown how far behind we are in terms of finance and that we can't hope FFP will help us, that said we only have so much cash so we need to get on with it.
I do think Robins has it all to prove, I still think we have enough footballing ability in the squad not to be struggling like we did from Jan last season. Robins has to be responsible for that, no matter what underlying reasons there were.
I think he was lucky to keep his job to be honest, I wouldn't have complained had he gone after the Ipswich debacle.
DH must see some positives/hope and has given him the chance to build on what was a first half of a seasonof some promise if frustrating.
Start badly with poor performances and especially with no real attacking threat and he'll only last 6-8 games.
I hope he does succeed as that's good for everyone, do I think he will? I am from convinced.

2 seasons running we have gone 12 games without a win. the signs are there that we don't have the squad and last season we definitely didn't have the gameplan or the attitude to compensate for injuries etc. this situation hasn't just sneaked up on us and the club can talk all it likes about financial management and doing it slowly and correctly but we are in the championship and it wont go away because you hope it will.

I am from convinced. Most people on here would agree with that, but it's what happens when the injuries, suspensions and loss of form bite that matters, we just do not have anything in reserve. Even the first XI don't always perform to their true ability. It's all a bit too 50/50 for my liking, a fine line. |

I think he's a tactical genius and will have this team playing other teams off the park. Domination.
He'll bring the young lads through this season and we will develop a quality blend of youth and experience, full of energy, charisma and grit.
I hope. I actually imagine that sounds something like how his interview went when he sold himself to DH.

What we do know is when the anti-Robins faction will jump all over him. After the first pre season defeat.

I still back Robins but I fear that at best we are a 14th to 20th side and that the sack is therefore inevitable.
Where the fuck we go from there is anybody' guess

at what point season will the robins love in brigade admit hes useless and stop making excuses for one of the most inept tactical and motivational managers we have ever had and ive been going since ian greaves days so ive seen em all this guy up up with the worst so the love in brigade when will you admit that the work in progress is a load of shite This is way over the top. For me he has quite a bit to prove in the transfer market as last summer wasn't so good. But he has to be given a bit more time to see what he can do. Personally all things considered, I don't think finishing 17th last season was all that bad. If by Christmas this year town are lingering near the bottom and the football is shit, fair enough get rid. Perhaps at that point our chairman might like to let someone else choose the next manager, he doesn't seem too great at it. |

I still find it odd that he wasn't sacked. Afterall his bad run was the same as Grayson's. Alarmingly the same problems still remain.we need a centre half with pace. Wallace is seems to make a lot mistakes. We don't seem to have enough desire to win the ball back. Without Vaughan we lack leadership and quality.
Between now and the end of the transfer window signings/sales are critical. If Robins doesn't sign the players he wants / wants rid of, then I'm struggling to see how things will be different,.
For me I'm not sold on Robins. I don't think the players are either. I hope I'm proved wrong.

I am yet to be convinced Robins is the man to take us forward but I have to say this thread is extremely premature. We lost a pre-season game and the board is already going into meltdown.
I think Robins deserves 10 games to see if things have improved since the 2nd half of last season. If not he should be fired. To be complaining about him now is a bit silly.
