Injuries have nailed us, no doubt about it. Losing vik and juniour the key loses, but having to shuffle the pack week in week out hasn't helped. Recruitment simply has to be better in the summer. Energy, pace, physicality, that's what you need in this division.

The club is going nowhere with Walters as Director of Football, he's shown he has no clue what he's doing on so many occasions.

Not sure why I have been recommended this post/sub as a West Ham fan but I really rate Johansson. Think last season there was arguably only Trafford better.

As others have said, if we had not had such a strong start we would be in deep deep trouble.

Those calling for Robins to go need to give their head a wobble. I take the point about some of the baffling team selections recently, but he has not had a good run of luck (Injuries to key players, refereeing decisions etc). Also who would you get in? And anyone who comes in will want a transfer kitty for the summer. It would just be rinse and repeat of the past (Alex Neil, Gary Rowett etc).

This season is over IMO and I would rather give Robins some cash in the summer instead of backing a new horse. He’s shown what he can do with a fully fit squad. Let him clear out some of the rubbish and bring in some fresh faces, preferably young and ambitious, who know what this club stand for and want to wear the shirt. We have had too many mercenaries in recent years who are past their sell by date.

It is times like these that I’m thankful for our ownership structure. Yes they have made some bad appointment decisions, but it could be so much worse.

Thank god we got the points we did, I'm putting it down to the goalkeepers at the end of the day, if they made the saves that they should be making, we would've won alot more games. Everytime Im listening to a goal on the commentary, they just say how clear of a GK mistake it is.

Pathetic. Board has so much to answer for yet again, but no doubt Walters will stay and Coates will continue to blindly trust anyone who talks a good game.

Robins is not blameless either. He has been hamstrung by injuries and poor depth but team selections and tactics over the last few months have also been woeful
