He actually groomed his hair while chasing a ball today. His applause to the fans when he was subbed was ominous.

I tell you what if we ship out our best player, especially after just getting stuffed by Oldham and Scunthorpe then this club has completely lost the plot.
Our signings have been uninspiring. Majewski had a great game against us 2 years ago but every time we sign players who have great games against us they fail to replicate that form.
We were absolutely abysmal in the second half of last season and that form appears to be continuing into pre season. With no meaningful signings and selling our best player there is only one way we are going.

needed a restructuring this close season and we haven't had one. Saturday might be a right eye opener.

Whilst totally ignoring a win in between against a team that finished above either of the 2 teams quoted. This blinkered view of Town's fortunes is becoming the norm on here and probably why I visit here less. The torches and pitch forks are out waiting for Robins before the season starts and the ranking masses won't be happy until Deano sacks him. We could go unbeaten for 10 games but I guarantee after the first loss there will be calls for him to be sacked. Whilst Robins still has a hell of a lot to prove, the clamour for his sacking prior to the start of a season is not healthy for the club. Cough Marcus Stewart Cough selective memory yet again.

Didn't Oldham beat Newcastle midweek? Which means if we beat Newcastle on Tuesday then they start the season in L1, we keep our Championship status and Oldham return to the PL. At least I think that's Oldham's logic if the name of their ground is anything to go by...

What a load of shite, The reason people want him sacking is because of performance's like today, It's a week until the season starts and my 13 year old daughter who hardly ever show's any interest in watching football, Showed more passion and pride in the Town shirt than our team today did, A successful winning side will run through a wall for the manager and believe in what he is telling them, We have a full new coaching team, Yet i have seen no difference in performance or style of play since the one's which were in place at the end of last season, And before anyone says it takes time, The differences the coaching staff should be making in the way we play and what they want to implement a week before the season starts should be visible in the way we are playing now or at least signs of it anyway. I would be more than happy for Robins to stay if he looked like he gave a shit and i believed he was capable of doing the job,but he seems as bothered about Huddersfield as the Steward in the new stand at Oldham did about getting all the fans to sit down.

Robins has plan b apart from changing personnel
I can guarantee robins will not change formation/tactics once this season
Yet the good managers can change the formation tactics 2/3 or 4 times in one game
There needs to be a plan b or c

That's all very well but I prefer to wait until competitive matches start before judging performances and results. Everything that happens before August 9 is about getting ready for the first game. If you want to witness passion and pride then away preseason friendlies are likely to be the last place to find it in any football team.

As for Robins no doubt he has to show in the first 10 games that he has moved us forward as a team from last season, but the signs don't look good! Why is it a crime to criticise the players and management after yet another embarassing show?

Why is it a crime to criticise the players and management after yet another embarassing show?It isn't a crime to criticise a performance but it is the blinkered view that disappoints me, if any of those can show me their posts praising the midweek win then fine no issue here but increasingly you will find posters with agendas only ever criticising the manager and the results. Especially when some of these posters write off 5 goal wins as beating what amounted to Pub teams and 4 goal away wins as opposition on their holidays. I tend to gloss over posts by posters who just whinge and moan ALL the time and have greater time for those that praise as well as criticise when performances are worthy of it. I fully accept that this place is ideal for those wanting a rant and a sounding board but its hard to discuss anything when minds are already made up and not open to discussion.

I'm not referring to number 20 in the red shirt by the way.

If we sell him a week before the season starts it would just about sum up what has been a shambles of a pre season. If he was going to go then they should have done it weeks ago to get a replacement.

But we've held out for a good fee instead of selling him on the cheap I'm assuming (or rather hoping) that we had a player lined up and are now going to pounce and bring him in before the weekend

Good player, wish him well, got value for him on the field. Sell for solvency. Good luck to him.

Let's hope for a treble signing this week then if he does go. Midfield replacement, Keane and a striker (or Garbutt) please.
