We need someone who will organise a defence first and foremost, that would be a former defender ie mackay powell. But the guy would have to play forward thinking football.
I do like the idea of hoddle but hes been out for a long time

[On the nose... again! And you did warn us after Oldham. The situation cannot go on. Can't believe that Hoyle will allow it to slide further. The season is more than salvageable if we were to bring in an inspirational manager who could revitalise the players we have and give us a cohesive style of play that suits the personnel available to him. Why wait? We know what we are getting if we don't change things. Do it now, Dean!!! I get no pleasure from being negative, but then again I get no pleasure from watching what I endured today. We can surely do better? It's not being negative, it's been honest and talking sense. There seems to be some kind of misconception on here that people are negative if they express an opinion which says how the current situation is, which is currently appalling and most people have seen this coming for months and apathy is rampant. [/quote] You're right the first team is a mess, the club isn't and isn't that so bl00dy frustrating? I am now definitely of the opinion we have a dud in Robins, in fact if he did turn it round now it would be nothing short of miraculous. There must be someone out there who can do a better job??

It just shows how much progress Town and Bournemouth have made in the last 12 months. Last season we hammered them at home and the rest is history, they are not a bad side and have made a lot more progress than Town. Yes i have to say "the writing is already on the wall".

I do like the idea of hoddle but hes been out for a long time I doubt we'd get a "name manager", or at least a "name manager who was any good". If that's the case we need to find someone with a real passion and big character. I have always rated Keith Hill but he did fail at Barnsley. It maybe that Thompson and Eyre was always the plan?? Lets be honest how many managers let there backroom go and stay on? Perhaps it's wishful thinking or perhaps he's been on borrowed time since then??

And on a similar size budget and smaller gates - have they improved by 9 goals or have we got worse by 9 goals in 12 months?

After the performances at the second half of last season and today surely Mr Hoyle knows he has to act. But why isn't he? He let Robins carry on where as previously he swung the axe quite clinically. I said in an earlier post is he selecting managers based on what he wants to hear rather than what he should hear. An earlier poster mentioned the apparent committee approach seems to be prevailing. We need a strong manager one who perhaps stands up to the club and lays down a marker. If given the reported investment of Mr Hoyle is correct has he finally decided to draw a line? I wonder at the decision making processes with regard to the current signings especially as we all perceive a need for centre backs and a striker. Who is making the decisions? If it's Robins then it just confirms my belief he has lost the plot. If not then the management team need to shake themselves down and get a decent manager who will I insist on his signings and not be intimidated into buying mediocrity . Ah I hear you say if the manger isn't being given the budget how can he. Well maybe instead of signing two or three maybes you sign one class player the costs will be the same. I've supported Town for so long it hurts but I have seen this pattern before you cannot keep selling your talent and replacing it with players who are at best a gamble . Many teams have tried it and lived to rue the day. Ok I've had a few beers and rambling. But first Robins has to go. Will Dean br brave enough to appoint someone who says no to him?

I'm not sure this is fair - the likes of Arter, Wilson, Ritchie are all good players. They have a good young manager who likes his team to play the right way, are organised and play as a team. Stanislas, Gosling on the bench and their record signing Rantie as well... Don't undertestimate them. Still they didn't have to work hard to look like Real Madrid today. quite right Bournemouth are a decent side no doubt - there is not one player in our side currently that would get in their starting 11. Not one....but that says as much about us as it does them Mark Lillis is the answer....simple!

Dugnet said "Lets be honest how many managers let there backroom go and stay on? Perhaps it's wishful thinking or perhaps he's been on borrowed time since then??" Indeed. And how many managers would seem to have so little say in the players that are being brought in. I thought today's atrocious debacle looked almost like a Robin's suicide pill from start to finish. I do wonder whether he'd be happy to take the money and leave for pastures new where he may have more say. We laugh at the Leeds situation and it may be subtler, but just how different is Town's management situation.

I can't see Lillis standing for the team giving up at 4-0 down like we did today, we couldn't even be arsed to chase down the ball. Is this the much vaunted 'Huddersfield Town way' ? Throwing the towel in early doors and trying to kid ourselves that we have competed?

I've not really been following town that long because of my ages (probs about 20 years) but surely this is the worst it's been for much longer than that? I mean yeah we're in a higher league than we have been for a decent amount of time but there is no enthusiasm left for the games at all!!!!! The Mark Robins brand of football is boring me to tears!!!! Even the players look bored!!! No wonder we get turned over so easy!?
This guy is truly clueless! He didn't see it coming? Well Mark that's a shame because we've all seen it coming for a fair old while!!! I honestly can't see me getting my passion for town back until he's gone, he is sapping the life out of our club

i've always backed him and i dont want to keep changing managers, but he's doing himself no favours sticking to this formation that requires players playing out of position. we've not looked a good side in a very long time and you have to question if the players are playing for him
amazing that it's the same bloke that this time last year had us looking pretty good, getting results and seemed to get his tactics/subs etc spot on.
Not sure if there is anyone decent available, but even if there are, will they want to come here and not be allowed to bring their backroom staff because we've just appointed a load?

It needs more than robins to leave imo. Think we need a complete re-think starting at the top because it just isn't working.

What is the point in sacking him now? 1 game into a season when we clearly haven't made enough signings and with our best player out of the squad in limbo? Give him 10 games. The season is not over at that point. But the board have to back him in the market. We still need a centre back, and we still need a striker. If they aren't going to get them they may as well throw him under the bus now. And whoever we bring in to replace him will be faced with exactly the same problems. I disagree. Now is the perfect time. I wouldnt give the job to that bloke from blackpool either. promote from within. Lillis in charge - at least he would be on the touchline giving a shit. robins clearly doesnt. Out thought and tactically inept........ Time to go Mr Robins.

My main beef with Robins is his complete lack of using the players we have (and he has bought) in their proper position. Yesterday we had 5 players playing out of position, 5! In fact I'm classing Wells as playing in position even though he's not a striker that can play on his tod but he is continuously made to. Surely to God you play the tactics to suit the players you have not the other way round. Hogg situation continues to get to me. He's a decent defensive midfielder but our tactics don't seem to let him play there. He can't pass a ball more than 10 yards but in his proper position he don't need to. We buy Peltier back ignoring what Leeds fans were telling us, that he's a sh1te CB and play him at CB. He a damn solid RB granted with no crossing ability but he's solid and what we need! Hammill - we take all his flamboyance away and ask him to play wing back, a position again he had never played until he came here under Robins. Hammill would scare many full backs running at them with his tricks but no, get tracking back and cut there threat out from the wings. Ward is a left winger, right at a push and should never be seen centre field unless he's cutting in to shoot. Crooks starting and debuting at CB when he's a pretty poor midfielder at this level anyway has to be one of the oddest and baffling decisions I've witnessed my years watching Town. With these tactics we are restricting players not bringing them on. For instance Lolley can not play with these tactics being implemented and were all excited about his potential. This is from a guy who is a believer of round pegs when he's got round holes... Also he talks about excitement when myself has never been so bored with a sides tactics as I am now. I read on here that it's 2 wins in 22 and I'm assuming one of those was the win at Watford when they were praying for the season to end and didn't even turn up? This is not a knee jerk reaction to a first game mullering, this is a build up of watching my side since Xmas. I don't really care that he's a dour bugger but it don't help and I do wonder if he has a rollicking in him. We have decent players on our books but our tactics are one dimensional and the gaffer has no plan b. He has had all summer to find us a striker and a CB and yet we are still stuck with Ward as back up to Vaughan (hindsight of his injuries would of been great but no one has that- however on the wages he picks up he could do worse than winding his neck in on twitter to fans who are understandably frustrated) The more I think about it the more I believe he has lost the plot 100% but is too stubborn to change. Anyhow morning rant over and I hope we bounce back soon but the chances of doing so under Robins are a little remote as his recent records state. UTT ?

this is the thing after 2 wins in 20 games some fans are still backing him,its beyond belief he has to go if not there will be less than 10k at the nxt home game,by my reckon on that win ratio we will have 12 points by the end of the season chuck in the odd draw say 20 points its a joke and what will robins say,i didn't see that coming,but I suppose it is a work in progress

Just listened to a replay of robins interview and its clear what the problem is ----- hes on mind bending drugs! He didnt see it coming?! Jesus wept.....about 300 folks who endured oldham bloody told him we were slow, ponderous, sloppy at the back and had a formation which didnt suit the personnel and what does he do? Oh yes lets pick ward in the striking role....lets play hogg out of position again.....lets throw in crooks who is not good enough for a home debut last seen on elm st!!! Jesus wept man, if you are going to throw a young kid in then where are holmes, billing, charles?! Lads who get bums off seats not the same old tripe that has us all reaching for the quilts and pillows. Ive had enough now - i desperately wanted him to show that the summer and new players /youngsters developing had brought about a new era with some innovation and new ideas, but its same old dull boring football played by professionals who look unfit, disinterested and without even the desire to compete. The buck stops with robins and i cant see him turning this round.......not without new players anyway and i wouldnt be giving him another penny given his track record to date. If he is to turn it round then he has to make some bold changes on tues and get the players earning their wages....because NONE of em did yesterday! One things for sure folks incl myself will vote with their feet unless it changes ..... Yesterdays crowd was average and its only going to reduce being served up that guff on a regular basis.

Didn't post after yesterdays game as I felt it might be a bit knee jerky. Thought I would sleep on it......but im still pissed off, the performance yesterday was as poor as ive seen for a while and their keep ball at the end where we couldn't/wouldn't get it back summed it up for me. Have we a lot worse players at our club than Bournemouth? I personally don't think so. Did I think we would get a result yesterday ....yes. Lacklustre sums it up for me. The decent one touch football we played against Newcastle was nowhere to be seen yesterday, we were resorting to hoof ball again. Very very disappointed. Time for Robins to go? im edging towards a yes, he cant seem to get the team going at all, thought we would be coming out all guns blazing after a rollicking at half time but it was the same old same old. The players have got to take a long hard look at themselves yesterday. I wont put the boot in at Ward like a few on here, he wasn't great but there were a lot worse, Norwood was my main culprit, followed by Hogg. These two for me are ineffective. Majewski didn't have a great game but for Robins taking him off instead off Norwood I thought was bizarre. Positives?? Well its only the first game, Deano has a tough choice whether to stick with Robins or not. Depends how you look at it, first game of the season or a continuing failure from the end of last season, UTT

It looks like robins position is becoming untenable. Probably has 5 games and needs 2 wins and a draw minimum.
Dean may have had real faith as the time to change would've been end of last season giving manager time to change squad and pres season to work on his ideas.
A new coach will want different players and money to spend. None of the big names mentioned would come here.

I have been thinking about how to play devils advocate to mine and other posts but I'm at a serious loss. His buys - I believe Adam Hammills a good player when played in the right position. Joe Lolley seems to have a fair bit about him when played in the right position as is an exciting prospect. Wells is a natural goal scorer when played as 1 of 2 strikers. Connor Coady is highly thought of with many at Sheffield United and Liverpool. Granted we haven't seen more than a cameo as yet.
Robins certainly tries to play football the passing way rather than lump it up top.
He talks alot about playing in a similar fashion throughout the club which mirrors many of the best clubs in the land.
That's it and I'm clutching at straws with a few.

To me now this IF Robins does go this will be the biggest appointment in DH time as the big chief ,he can not get this wrong anymore and regardless how he thinks now as a businessman he needs to think what is gonna be more ethical in the terms of long term status... For Example If he he sacks Robins now and holds his hands up gets a manager in who is a half decent name who will restructure our club from top to bottom which means getting rid of Wilson and a proper Football Manager that can inspire not just the team but suprisingly enough our chairman again as he been lead down a dark path by some bad advice with signings for example ,dont get me wrong love DH to bits but needs a manager that knows how to run it from top to bottom bollock a player and then put his arm round him when needs it kinda guy and bring all youngsters through. Like i said Dh is gonna hav eto decide if he wants that though as if we sack Robins or sink into League 1 again and go round to average grounds again lose revenue and year on year flatter to decieve in that division, yeah we can all say get Lillis in and everything will all be ok yeah maybe it could and would i dont know but the FFP is not biting anyone else lets dip our toes in a little not saying spending millions like we used to do all im saying is lets start with a decent well named manager when was the last time this club showed any sort of ambition as they say where have all the fans gone ? well look yesterday for a start , dross football, no ambition and just happy to plod along hoping we will have good season. Im been honest here we need to wake up .....If we was playing great football on the pitch thats a start as you get the core fan base that love HTFC coming and any football fan coming along as love the way a good team play regardless of the result , Why cant we have a bit of ambition since FFP came in we have seriously shit our pants as a club and i fear now is gonna come to a point where we dont put enough in we go that far back we dont know how to go forward and i refer back to it need a strong well known manager to rip the club up from top to bottom and educate DH what he needs to do to this club as i dont think we need that many players , many may say im barmy here but how many times u see a half decent manager going into these teams and they look a brilliant player when a good manager goes in playes a good SYSTEM and MANAGES a team of players and give him full reign like i say if do it thats only way gonna happen as every DATM poster saying we will get a big name , i believe we can get a big name manager its all down to manager at end of day . we have good history ,good squad and youth system and potentially could be a threat in this division as many managers said in parts last season . Anyway ive rambled enough think next 6 months is gonna be tough for us terriers fans , even if manager goes he stays and even who he gets in and where direction of the club goes there after, ones thing for sure we will still love the town regardless

If these lads cant handle it at that age then they are unlikely to do so surely? Playing them out of position is poor i agree, but its up to the players to take the shirts of those more experienced players ......after all its not like norwood, hogg etc in this instance are pulling up trees.

The players have got to take a long hard look at themselves yesterday. I wont put the boot in at Ward like a few on here, he wasn't great but there were a lot worse, Norwood was my main culprit, followed by Hogg. These two for me are ineffective. Majewski didn't have a great game but for Robins taking him off instead off Norwood I thought was bizarre. Positives?? Well its only the first game, Deano has a tough choice whether to stick with Robins or not. Depends how you look at it, first game of the season or a continuing failure from the end of last season, UTT That's spot-on for me, mate!! (Esp your comments re Ward / Majewski!! )
