I like Robbo as a guy but this has been a disaster so far. A lot of my reservations about his appointment have come to pass. He hasn't managed a full time club in years and it shows - his tactics went out of fashion a decade ago while his signings have been rotten. If say, Terry Butcher made 13 signings over a summer, about eight would be good, three would be alright and then there'd be two duds. This season the opposite looks to be true. Ridgers, Elsdon, Chalmers, Cooper, Baird, Oakley and Zschusschen all look absolutely dire, while only Seedorf, Bell and Trafford look decent and all three are still pretty raw especially the last two. Calder looked reasonable at times before disappearing and Elbouzedi looked good against Forres before getting injured against Elgin and not being seen since. And even then he is still an unknown quantity.
I wasn't too keen on Danny Lennon but he'd have unquestionably been better than Robbo. Many people on here were opposed to Paul Sheerin but I think he'd have been alright after seeing his Colts team a few weeks back - they were quick, attacking and looked very well drilled. Stevie Aitken was apparently keen on the job too and as we saw on Saturday, his part time team looked far more organised than we did. I wonder if the minority of those who were happy with Robbo's appointment ("He did well last time!" "He's won the First Division and Danny Lennon hasn't!") are having second thoughts now.
