But apparently his job is not in jeopardy 🙄

All comes down to the great FMB

Too lackadaisical when it comes to making the tough decisions, he'll get till the January window as that'll be used as an excuse to fix the mess Robson helped create

Not that you’d expect anything else publicly, but where/when did he say this?

Robson’s job is not at risk other than by some on this forum. We could win the cup final and some would still want him sacked!!😂😂

We are on completely different spectrums. You are happy to risk us being dragged into a bottom 6 battle on hope it turns around and I’m not prepared to risk it based on what’s been on show and the fact we are third bottom of league. I hope your right but my opinion is that Robson is holding this squad back massively. We are all entitled to them.

I totally accept we have completely different views on this. Surely that is what this forum is all about. 

[Proud Dandy]

It’s important we don’t give them so much space out wide like the last few games against them. If there’s a time to get the 3/5 at the back in the bin it’s this one, can’t see it though. Big game today, have to get something out of it otherwise resting players in Helsinki was a total waste of time. 

[Rubin]

back to the lethargic inconsistency

3 - 0 win to Hibs

 

[donswin1983]

Fuck it! We’re winning this today. Good feeling about it. 
3-1 Dons. Miovski with the match ball and a moment to savour for those that paid 35 odd quid a ticket. 
 

[englishred]

2-1 the Dons. Our form has to turn at some point surely. Would like to see Sokler and Milne start today 

[DelMonte]

Absolutely no hope from me going into this. Both games against Hibs we have been pumped realistically. 

[Baaaaa heid]

With our tendency for poor post European games I’d be happy with a 1-0 to us , I have to wonder how bad we really are because st Johnston are 1-0 up against septic

Apart from the one we won 

[shooftahmooftah]

Right now we are 2 nd bottom, St Johnston leading  the IRA PLO 1-0 half time.    I can’t see Robsons tactics and the team winning the games in hand.   The Championship is waiting. 

[Redtaz2]

Calm doon we not even started our game yet

Also outplayed and incredibly lucky as fuck to get a point post-split last season in the previous game under Robson.

[aberdeen1970]

Aye, their strengths (Youan and Boyle's pace in wide areas) exploits our weaknesses (space between our wing backs and centre backs and a slow midfield when turned). 

Their defence is pretty poor as well though. 

 

[JamieMT]

Not feeling especially confident about today. Hibs are no great shakes, but to use a Boxing phrase, styles make fights and right now we're tailor made for them.

Massively rode our luck at Hampden, can't see Hibs passing up chances the way they did that day.

Still feel December can be a really good month given the fixtures we have ahead of us. 🤞

[KidCreole]

Love the sentiment on here ladies, last time we were this dour we gubbed the huns at Ibrox, A rested squad that seem up beat after a decent performance in sinky. 3 - 1 the famous

I missed the game, What was Milne like ?

 

[CCB III]

No excuses for him today. Rested key players midweek, league form has been abysmal. 
 

Simply has to start getting wins. 
 

The concern is obviously, that it doesn't seem like there are any stakes to this. We've been garbage maybe 80% of the time since his official appointment and the FMB seem to think they've got their man. 

[Frank Grimes]

Can’t argue with the line up 

[WesthillWanderersFC]

                   Roos 

Gartenmann Ruby Jensen   
Devlin Clarkson Shinnie McGarry. 
                 McGrath. 
          Miovski Sokler 

[minijc]

No idea what to expect, I don't think Hibs are a good side at all.

Nope, although I’d have put MacDonald in for Ruby. 

[starryfish]

What does Barron have to do to get a start? Been our best midfielder by a distance this season imo

That’s another problem , it takes too long to get started,and it’s nearly finished.    St Johnston couldn’t hold on against the IRA Tim’s.

BTTS, Hibs to win, would be my guess.

Has he though?  He certainly improved on last seasons efforts but I wouldn't say he's been anything special, even on thursday in the first half he was appalling, really good in the second though.

Aye, maybe.

[aberdeen1970]

Barron will probably start in midweek against Kilmarnock.
