It is baffling why change a system that works by the sounds of it.

Well.

Disappointing. I’m off to get pissed.

Wish me luck, I’m going to a party at the wife’s bosses house.

Should probably wish your wife luck in that case, not you That’s if she wants to still have a job at the end of it

Enjoy your evening

 

[hinckley cov]

Don’t care about FA cup promotion is all that matters and you don’t get promoted being beat by a pub side

 

[clint van damme]

that was shit

 

[CCFC_Charlie]

Welcome back, you vanished when we scored.

They came back from behind because they weren't playing Kelly and Doyle who both sit on the halfway line. They take the game to the opposition, like we do when we don't have those 2.

Did I Nick?

Nice one, City. Now go and get a win, even a draw isn't good enough here.

Good striker is McNulty, we're lucky to have him. Can't believe the stick he was getting earlier in the season.

Perhaps actually read the thread before spouting more banal shite.

The system is shit, but the players show zero desire or urgency when we go behind. We play so slow and never look like we actually want to win when losing away.

 

[Sick Boy]

Homophobic racist twats

What happened?

 

[Nick]

On 82 minutes, Wycombe took off a defender for a striker and took the game to Carlisle. It's probably why they keep winning instead of sitting back when trailing.

 

[The Reverend Skyblue]

Two defensive central midfielders simply doesn't work, put Bayliss back in the middle and drop Kelly and use him if and only if Doyle gets injured.

 

[oscillatewildly]

Not a question of fight, they dug deep on Tuesday. It's a question of strange persistence with a system that doesn't work at the expense of one that does.

"System" ?

 

[Speng]

We can’t keep the ball , possession is bloody awful , we can’t score without the ball

 

[sw88]

Crap day. Wet, cold and surrounded by homophobic twats.

Sometimes I’m ashamed to be around some of our fans

 

[pusbccfc]

Kelly and Barratt today were absolutely appalling.

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Don’t care about FA cup promotion is all that matters and you don’t get promoted being beat by a pub side

It’s a shite result but they’re hardly a ‘pub side’ they’re in the same league as us on merit

 

[CCFC54321]

Today convinced me that we won’t be going up this season. There simply isn’t enough goals in this side to make a challenge.

Such a shame but it’ll be next year now.

 

[BackRoomRummermill]

We are starved of success

 

[larry_david]

Think we were unlucky with two defensive injuries though

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

I know CWR won't - but I hope they ask MR about utilising Kelly when Bayliss has been working well with Doyle.

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

Think we were unlucky with two defensive injuries though

Yes - hope they are not serious

 

[Nick]

Apologies, didnt see them. Happy to be wrong!

Foster will ask what robins thought of the pies did he miss the meat

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

"System" ?

Am I giving MR too much credit?

 

[letsallsingtogether]

What happened?

Giving a Romanian girl steward Shit
Just pissed and giving it large saying he has a seson ticket for 50 years goes to every game so is allowed.
Had 2 pints and wanted to take the world on.

 

[Nick]

Foster will ask what robins thought of the pies did he miss the meat

He missed some bollocks.

 

[oscillatewildly]

Clueless, out fought, out thought. Gifted an incredibly charitable penalty decision.
It's just dawned on me - You can lose half your league games and still grab a play off place in this woeful division.
Strangely, all is not lost.

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

Two defensive central midfielders simply doesn't work, put Bayliss back in the middle and drop Kelly and use him if and only if Doyle gets injured.

Totally agree with this - especially when Kelly is not up to speed

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Too effing right

 

[CCFC54321]

Foster: “That was disappointing today Mark but on a positive note you appear to have changed your face cream which gives you a lovely glow.”

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Team talk:

(Calmly) Unlucky boys, it just wasn't our day today.

Most players reacted negatively to the comments.

Liam Kelly and Ryan Haynes seemed happy.

Probably didn’t have to make three forced substitutions either. Did Robins have the opportunity of making a tactical substitution?

 

[larry_david]

Wycombe had a man off didn't they?

 

[Marty]

Well that was fucking dreadful. Didn't help by being forced into 2 changes.

 

[Nick]

Probably didn’t have to make three forced substitutions either. Did Robins have the opportunity of making a tactical substitution?

He could have when Davies went off or when Grimmer went off (granted it was 0-0 when Grimmer went off, but it was still obvious Kelly wasn't in it).

He put JCH on for Biamou, even though the problem wasn't the strikers as they were getting absolutely nothing. It was pointless.

Wycombe had a player sent off on 48 as well.

That's why they will win games like that, they don't sit back and take it.

 

[Otis]

Players should be fucking embarrassed. Hope they enjoy being League Two players because that's what they're going to be next season as well.

Robins still hasn't learnt that Kelly and Doyle are fucking shit together, it's woeful management.

I don't think they are terrible together, it just nullifies creativity. Bayliss came in and was like a breath of fresh air and I did say in the week that once Kelly was fit again we had a dilemma.

If it were down to me it would be an either/or scenario.
Doyle and Bayliss, or Kelly and Bayliss and just not Kelly and Doyle.

Robins sticks with the previous formula it is going to kill us.

 

[no_loyalty]

Davies has fractured collar bone

 

[JWC]

We were literally singing Robins’ praises last week. Now with a loss he’s getting abuse. Kelly was fantastic last week, now he’s had a bad game he’s shit.

People need to get a grip.
