Robbo sympathises with Peters

Peters departed the Shrews yesterday after just one win since the turn of the year after the club were amongst the early season pace setters, and Robins, speaking to today's Star, has every sympathy for the departing gaffer who spent just over three years at the helm.

He explained; "I think Gary is a really good manager. It's always sad to see somebody lose their job; it's the club's first season at their new stadium and you always get a period of adjustment.

"I think he's done a really good job and is a victim of his own success because he was in the play-offs last season.

"He'll be disappointed, but he'll come back. From our perspective, I'm sure there will be one or two changes. The assistant will probably do one or two things differently."

Robins himself may be feeling the pressure after finding it hard to defend his players after last weekend's shower against Accrington at Millmoor, and goes into the weekend game with Rotherham clinging onto a play off spot after six defeats in the last eight outings.

He added: "It's a good place to play, a lovely new stadium, better that their previous one; we'll look forward to it and see how we go."
