We're rubbish, says Sheffield United's Robson

Bryan Robson last night branded Sheffield United's players as not being good enough for the Championship as his own future came under further scrutiny

Robson tore into his team after the defeat at Ashton Gate, a loss ensured by goals from David Noble and Michael McIndoe, and one that leaves United slumming it in 20th place.

'Some of my players aren't as good as I thought they were,' said Robson, who replaced Neil Warnock after the club were relegated from the Premier League. They have won only twice in the Championship and offered precious little threat against Bristol City. Noble, recalled to replace Lee Trundle, justified his selection by looping the ball over goalkeeper Paddy Kenny for the opening goal after 45 minutes of fluent, high-tempo football.

Robson's side did improve after the break but no clearcut chances came their way for all their efforts.

It was the home side who looked most likely to score with United's defence looking exposed.

City keeper Adriano Basso was forced into making a good save from David Carney after an hour and, with the game opening up, opposite number Kenny produced an even better save to deny Ivan Sproule a minute later.

But City doubled their lead with 20 minutes to go when McIndoe headed past Kenny from Sproule's cross.

Robson added: 'There's a weakness in the squad's defending. We just aren't tackling. We're in the position we deserve and we have to improve.'

City manager Gary Johnson said: 'We've regained our reputation after losing for the first time last week. I'm very proud of the whole team and Noble's recall was justified.'

Well atleast he admits we were are shite although does little to change that,

He keeps saying this every week..... yet, what is he actually doing about it?

 

[S64 Blade]

Doesn't look like it does it! We seem to be getting worse if anything

 

[The One]

1. He Keeps Playing Morgan
2. He Keeps playing Tonge
3. He keeps taking Stead off.


All mistakes IMO

Could add Hendrie to that list.

Sheffield United boss Bryan Robson:
"A number of our players are not as good as I thought they were when I took the job, and we have a lot of work to do.
"I'm hoping to make a couple of loan signings soon, but we also need to get on the training ground and improve the players already here.

"I didn't expect to be in such a lowly position after 10 games but we are where we deserve to be."

Quotes from BBC Website

A number of manager is not as good as anybody thought he was, which wasn't much, and is in severe need of pulling his finger out of his arse. I didn't expect to be down near Wendy at this point of the season, and there is nothing I've seen from Robson to inspire any faith.
Robson and Kidd was touted by some as the dream combination. It's turning into a nightmare.

It's time to stop stating the obvious and do something about it.

"Rubbish" wasn't really the sentiment being echoed by the crowd yesterday.

"Fucking shite" goes some way to expressing the true feeling amongst the fans, yet somehow, it doesn't go far enough.

its alright saying this and that about the team, hes the only one who can change it. hes been saying about bringing players in but none have arrived.

"we're shit and we know we are"

 

[Robbie]

His comments stating that some of the players here aren't as good as he thought shows how good a manager he really is.
