COH and MVE have been poor for a while. It’s just easier to have a pop at JDS, Eccles, Simms et al.

Torp is absolutely not on it today either.

 

[Garlana86]

This is why you should never think we're playing well from stats

 

[Yorkshire SB]

Bizarre. Haven’t understood the team selections and tactics for the last few weeks.

A very poor performance that.

 

[procdoc]

MVE off and released at HT please Robins. Garbage. But he does a few fist bumps at the end of the game so 95% of Cov fans rate him

You’re so fucking boring. Literally not one person on here finds you remotely entertaining

 

[covboy9]

Jds off for wright please, binks can play left back

Saka missed big time, key injuries are killing us we just don’t have any goals in us atm

defending piss weak today which is criminal when you play 5-4-1

 

[mark82]

Wasnt going to say anything but im fuming so fuck it

Dennis Lawrence isnt going to be here after the end of the season

We need to be making the coaching team bigger really.

 

[Hertsccfc]

If we play 3 at the back we have to get the wing backs forward. This is just too passive.

 

[Grendel]

Robins is going to have to bury his pride and bin Dasilva off somehow in the summer - he’s beyond awful defensively

 

[steve101]

Palmer is our only player playing with any intensity and creativity. If Fadz was in the team we wouldn't have conceded the second goal. Thomas not anticipating and not putting in a challenge. O'Hare continues to think he is bigger than the team, moaning. Ben Wilson static for both goals. Surely he should be making himself look big.

 

[shmmeee]

Old enough to remember when we had an owner who thought taking a punt was a good business plan, we've only just about recovered from it

Would it really have solved all our problems getting some loans in? We'd have spent a chunk of money which we then couldn't spend in the summer and would still have been fucked when we lost Sheaf, Allen and Sakamoto one after the other

It would be a huge gamble on not just getting to the play offs but winning them and potentially weaken our chances in the next 2 or 3 years as you can't spend it twice

It is the right financial decision not to gamble on this season. Fans won’t like it but it’s right.

 

[Otis]

Every time robins tries to be clever in his selection we play shite

every time

Is he being clever? What if there IS illness in the camp?

I will wait until his post match comments before jumping to conclusions.

We do seem off it, so maybe it is indeed true that there is illness in the squad.

Not going to be too critical til I hear what MR has to say .

 

[skyblue_55]

Well , after this there can’t be any complaints of being fatigued, as there isn’t any running off the ball !
A strange formation change & Dasilva ….. well he’s never a left back !
Bidwell , Kitchin & Collins ……. Have you had a fall out with the gaffer ?

 

[larry_david]

Wasnt going to say anything but im fuming so fuck it

Dennis Lawrence isnt going to be here after the end of the season

Why?

 

[Cally Fedora]

No aggression. Simple.

 

[mark82]

Imagine if we'd signed someone like that Johnston on loan.

 

[shmmeee]

This is why you should never think we're playing well from stats

Between the two goals it was all us, we just didn’t make the most of our half chances.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

2 loans where we had to contribute circa 12 k a week, in the wide positions, to maintain a system we were getting results with is 100% fucking worth it

As we're seeing now

If that amount of money is true it’s inexcusable

 

[Jamesimus]

Describing DaSilva as a “disaster” signing is a bit of a stretch. He’s made some high profile mistakes in recent games. Unsure as to whether Bidwell would have stopped that cross.

Palmer the only one in midfield putting his foot in and trying to win the ball.

No tempo in our play when we do manage to get possession. WBA being allowed to stroll this.

Palmers had a decent enough half.

 

[jordan210]

Wilson’s attempted save for the secound is like watching an old person get leg cramp

 

[stupot07]

That was really not good enough, we don't look like a team that believes there is any chance of play offs. Every single one them have been shite. Obviously playing them against Maidstone to get Preston out the system worked wonders..

Lack of desire, lack of plan, lack of energy, and lack of quality.

The formation does not work with Palmer and O'Hare, Simms too isolated, and Palmer dropping too deep. O'Hares worse game for us ever, completely anonymous.

Neither wing back gets high enough when we have the ball, to be fair to Bidwell when he plays hes up, down, up, down.

West Brom are beating our press quite easily, and it feels like they have not even got out of second gear.

His or Robins choice?

 

[Nuskyblue]

That’s on you Robins. Shit formation,

The formation didn't make Thomas/Torp not defend.

 

[Macca]

Palmer has played well. About the only one

 

[lifeskyblue]

So easy for WBA in possession. Too much time and space conceded in midfield. Defence not working…really got to get a foot in

Can we have some sort of press please? Normally hate it when fans call for us to close down but there’s nothing tonight, no pressure.

Also, anyone else bar Thomas want to put their body on the line and get some blocks in? Fadz walks straight into this team.

 

[shmmeee]

So they're just warming it then with zero chance of coming on?

For an emergency I’d imagine. Have you just started watching football? Having players who aren’t fully fit on the bench isn’t a new thing.

[Hugh Jarse]

Looks like a player who just wants away.

If he carry on like this, he won’t even attract a Division 2 team.

 

[skyblueelephant76]

I have the misfortune of sitting in the wba end on the halfway line tonight. The midfield is far too deep and the wingbacks have no cover. We need to switch back to 433 second half

I’m going to email a few league two clubs to tout him around, he could join Biamou at Donny

 

[shmmeee]

TBF Bidwell was often further forward than anybody other than Gyokeres. The two clowns playing there this year just don't seem to have the appetite

Nah it was a huge issue last season too, we just only needed Vik in their half to make it work.

COH will just play it safe until he gets his free transfer to Lesta in the summer most probably.

 

[Hertsccfc]

The aversion to loans this season is such a mistake.

 

[Gynnsthetonic]

Get Kitchin on, get Binks at Full back, fuck Da Silva off, come on Bristol City could wait to get rid, what's the attraction

 

[shmmeee]

Why not?

Wants more money. Dawkins is on about it on Twitter being the CCFC staff union rep it seems.
