Serious lack of aspiration on here. Jones and Chaplin will make a huge difference. Thought Willis and davies looked good. Doyle really needs to stop taking the ball off the back 4

We were so poor today. I accept we will be in a relegation dogfight but I see no fight at all

I thought we were ok defensively, goal aside. We were a worse team once Hyam went off.

Time for the Robins out threads to be bumped

Did he go off injured? Last Saturday there were times when the defence was all over the place. The lack of goals will eventually catch up with us, unfortunately.

Why? Better for the back 4 to lump it?

 

[Nick]

I think it comes from the top, the players have no confidence because the manager has no confidence in the team.
Why else would he play so defensive at home?

It's his team isn't it?

 

[mark82]

Jones looked lively when he came in on the left. Swapped with Thomas and it seemed to nullify both of them.

Yeah, went off injured. We seem really thin at the back currently.

I'd love to be able to be so positive after watching that

 

[covcity4life]

You haven't mentioned Jones in the entire thread. And i would have laughed that off too. Will be weeks til he is match fit. First rule of troll club = remember what you've said. Covcity4life loses again..

Eat that humble pie lmao

 

[itsabuzzard]

When did noone come on?

Good play by jones and bayliss leads to robins defwnsivness being exposes with noone in box

Scunthorpe put 5 past Charlton. Watch us fail to score.

We were poor - the passing was awful. But I also think it was the case of Portsmouth making us look less than average: thought their positioning was the best we've played against all season. They didn't even need to get out of second gear.

Would like to see Shipley rested (and Andreu, come to that).

Their support was excellent, as always: fair play to them.

Robins “I’m dissapointed”

 

[fernandopartridge]

Feel sorry for Andreu, no point him playing with a striker who plays with his back to goal 40 yards out most of the time.

 

[ccfcway]

Robins “ they had a great chance and scored it, we had a great chance and missed it”

There's no point him playing in that position at all

He needs players moving about to play them in

 

[Nick]

Robins “ they had a great chance abd scored it, we had a great chance and missed it”

They had multiple chances

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

8 goals from 11 games so far, same as bottom of the table Plymouth

 

[ccfcway]

robins “dissapointing but we have to bounce back, we aren’t too far away, they are top of the league”

Why are you repeating his utter nonsense?

 

[ccfcway]

Robins “we didn’t quite do enough”

Two penalties as well. Now he’s slagging off Shipley

He was his own worst enemy.

Robins “ not having Chaplin prob cost us a bit. Tony didn’t do enough and Shipley had a poor evening”

Robins “down to bear bones now”

It's all a bit grizzly.

 

[ccfcway]

Robins “we aren’t too far away. Just a little bit stuttery”

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

If we had players in reserve who have been staking a claim when they got a chance then fine but they haven’t. If Doyle is to be dropped who is replacing him? Ogogo and Kelly look just as much off the pace

Might need to have a look at the fitness team then.

Our players don't look fit.

Ratings as of a few moments ago.

Oh piss off

 

[Nick]

How long is "not far off" allowed to be said?

 

[cc84cov]

JCH & Chaplin are ok I feel JCH is playing well tonight & Saturday we have no creativity and I don’t know know why Thomas is a constant threat Bayliss is box to box centre mid hopefully Jones on the left left will bring us more creativity.Grimmer is a miss we need Him and mason back both full backs bombing on
