Two players who sum up Robinson's limitations- Ajose and Reeves. Robinson wouldn't play Ajose because he didn't like him; worked like a Trojan today with little help from Zero. Reeves covered every inch, as opposed to the anonymous misfit who wandered round the pitch like a lost soul under Robinson

Still only two games....but..... an incoming new owner would make a colosall blunder removing the current manager and replacing him with Kewell (or CP). We don't know how Bowyer would react when things go pear shaped. Most of our recent managers with the exception of the pamtomime carthorse Fraeye started okay. But Bowyer has taken over a team in a tailspin and transformed them. At the least he deserves a chance to make the play offs. Let's face it most of us had written them off under KR. If the chance has revived, that is the new management team. Let's let them try and finish the job.

How do fans not realise that new owners set out on who they want as a manager before they take over the club.

The results probably do not matter.

Spot on, shame though because we're playing so much much better than we did under Robinson. Also Bowyer has the Powell level backing of away/north upper fans that i think could ride a rough period.

They matter to the fans. That's why we want Bowyer to be given a chance to achieve the play-offs. Bowyer is showing a tactical astuteness in his 2 games that we haven't seen since Curbs. Kewell says he's happy at Crawley, we're happy with Bowyer, win-win if they keep Bowyer on<ok>.

Sarfend have said they are happy with Sir Chris so once again, new owners should sit on their thumbs and wait to see where we are in May <ok>

Simples!
 
What we're used to is watching Robinson's team and thinking "Why doesn't he do so-and-so" or "why doesn't he play Such and such" or "How can he not see this or that?" but Bowyer is one jump ahead of the hoi-peloi with his reading of the game. Taking off Ajose while the fans were singing his name and putting on a winger was a perfect example. Respect!
 
Bowyer pointed out in his presser that teams try to bully us. The difference is that they fail now. In each of our three games under Bowyer we've started off by matching the opposition's physical approach before earning the right to play. Bowyer himself played this way. Under Robinson teams knew that they could bully us.
 
Noticeable that at full time in our last 2 games Bowyer has given our fans a quick clap, then straight down the tunnel. No tunnel jumps from the manager, or shroud waving in public like Powell & Robinson. Different strokes for different folks but a much better way for a manager to behave, IMO.
