    Mark Robins

    He obviously still has work to do but the difference in style of play and confidence since he arrived is great to see. If Russ Wilcox had stayed we would have one foot firmly back in League Two by now. Instead I'm really looking forward to see what Robins can achieve over the next couple of years.

    Very true. Wilcox was as useful as a chocolate fireguard

    re: Mark Robins

    I wouldn't be quite that harsh on Wilcox as he did get us out of the basement division. But League Two is a very poor standard and he inherited a team with a solid spine with Slocombe, Mirfin, McAllister and Winnall all at the top of their game last season.

    When the going started to get tough at the end of last season and then when we met a much higher standard of opposition in League One, it required some tactical nous. That was where he was found out.

    found out by his poor buys in the summer plus looking at the poor releases as well.

    last season we got a promotion and wilcox got a record.far to many fans driven away with terrible football.
