U19 squad for games against Kazakhstan, Kosovo and Belgium to be played at Broadwood. Cooper Masson and Dylan Ross from Dons called up.

It’s because there is a poll on the thread.

U21 squad for friendlies against Ukraine and US in Spain. Call ups for Frame, Marshall and Stewart.

I personally think this is a bit harsh. The huge turnover in squad in the summer was unavoidable and swapping out an entire starting 11 plus half a bench worth of players is to all intents and purposes starting over with a new squad. For me he was basically starting again from scratch in the summer after successfully, if not spectacularly, navigating us out of the mire we had sailed straight into. Again a bit harsh for me. I'm not disputing we haven't looked god awful at times but it hasn't all been terrible. Off the top of my head motherwell away we were good to watch, Kilmarnock away in the cup we played some really good football to dominate a game despite being down to ten and up until 60 minutes against utd we were the better team and I was enjoying watching us. Would also say it's bit harsh saying you're not prepared to make any allowances for injuries when you consider how concentrated to defence these injuries have been. The past 3 games where this has been a going concern in particular no-one has battered us and we have lost by only one goal each time whilst playing a makeshift defence that would never be selected otherwise. I don't think it's unreasonable at all to say that without those injuries we would most likely have had some better results on the board and possibly even be in a cup final. Agreed, some of his decisions have been baffling especially re Frame and Devlin. And this the real crux of it isn't it, a good result against hibs (who, of course, have just had a big shot in the arm result before playing us) could be all he needs. I do have sympathy at how difficult it is to swap over that many players in a single window and integrate them quickly. Another international break will be welcome respite after taking so many injuries and a virus hitting the squad. I've said before and will say again I don't think we will really start to see what robinsonball with this squad looks like until the end of december sorta time and, imo anyway, there has been a few small signs recently of new players starting to click. OBI2 has been steadily improving recently both going forward and defensively. Ronan is starting to show influence in games and isn't looking like a headless chicken anymore off the ball either. I also personally thought Yogane looked like a different player when he came on at the weekend and was very pleasantly surprised how much he made their rb shit themselves in such a short time on the pitch. I haven't voted in this because quite simply I just don't know. Instinctively I must admit I'm loathe to go sacking another manager so soon but I'm not fucking blind either, there's been so much disappointment. If he wasn't such an experienced manager with some actually quite impressive achievements on his CV all things considered then I suspect I would be far more supportive of removing him from post. For now I'm going to sit on the fence until the end of December assuming he gets that long.

I think he should go. Like many I wasn’t enthused by his appointment, although once he was in place I expected we would do ok. But ultimately we are not, the last four games was a chance to go on a bit of a run, the fact we have managed only 3 points out that has me convinced. As I’ve said before don’t know where we go from here though.

Will maybe see until Christmas but can’t see anything other than when not if Has so far exceeded the low expectations I had and between him and the backroom team have built one of the worst and least inspiring squad I can remember It certainly isn’t all on him but he doesn’t appear capable of getting the best out of what there is

I never wanted him in the first place and the football has been everything I feared it would be. I would have him gone in the international break. I would love him to prove me wrong and produce a team playing good football winning games.

Get him out now. Was never convinced by him and he just appears out of his depth in every way. Even if he turns it around, we'll be back in the same position before long. Even seeing or hearing him speak makes me angry. I suspect we'll beat Hibs and we'll be stuck with him a bit longer.

I've voted go. I always argue managers should be given a right good crack at the job. But I think he's had that. He's been in charge since March. Really poor standard of football even when at full strength, so using injuries now as an excuse doesn't wash. I disagree with the line-up every week. The subs feel like they are the same each game. Tactics get changed at half-time most weeks. Either too defensive (v Rangers) or ridiculously cavalier (two at the back v Dundee United). Signed 15 players and yet don't appear to have the players to play the way he wants (and trying to work out what identify he wants this team to have is an essay in itself). Considering the amount of experience he has in management, and that this season is essentially a continuation of a poor league campaign at St Mirren, I'm not convinced giving him more time will see a corner turned. Certainly, Hibs on Saturday is massive for him. Win that, perform well, and show something - well, I'm easily swayed. But I think we're kicking the can down the road here.

There's a suspicious looking graph icon in the title of this thread within its forum. I would urge everyone not to click on it in case it's a virus.

Done it for you :-)

Edit the post, and at the top you'll see two tabs under the Edit topic heading. Content and Poll Select Poll and you can add the poll there.

Hadn’t noticed that. Maybe down to injuries.

Completely missed West Ham sacking Nuno Espírito Santo yesterday. Been replaced by Scott Parker.

Why only 4 subs???

He's been pretty tame so far. He knows he could be in legal trouble now. Of course he honestly can't see that it was his fault. He says they lost so much because he wasn't on the ballot where as far as I can see people were voting as if he was on the ballot. One huge vote to get rid of him. The Iran thing isn't going to go away though, it's gonna be a long 2 years.

Celebrity hairdresser and ex-husband of Lulu, John Frieda, has died at 75.

Has the orange man called it "fake news" and claimed that the polls were rigged yet?

I don't know how to do that.

Nice to see all that money Elon & AIPAC spent going down the pan. A bad night for pool owners across the states

Surprise is the size of the rout. The Republicans have lost states like Texas and Kansas and might even lose Mississippi.

No huge surprise but it looks like a rout for the Democrats.

@swaddon Hiya pal 👋 Fancy adding a "Robinson in or out" poll to your Robinson thread? (See post above). I'm just interested in the general feeling. Can make the votes anonymous if you wish.

The person who started the thread can edit the post and add a poll, or you start a new thread and add a poll.
