[BornSlippySkyBlue]

Allen just looks a bit rusty to me. Still lively, but his first touch has let him down a bit.

End of the first quarter and looking a bit rusty.

We need a touchdown

 

[chiefdave]

Expected our touch and fitness to be a lot better than this by now

By now? Its our second game in over 5 months!

 

[shmmeee]

Gonna need a CB and a DCM looking at this. I don’t think McFadzean is going to cut it in the Championship

 

[Skybluefaz]

Hilßner needs to get on his toes

 

[Cavan O'Doherty]

Defence has looked rather shaky, not been convinced so far by both wing backs either. Still a few additions off, but I’m sure Robins knows that. Need a bit of pace up front like their No.9 has.

 

[cc84cov]

Cutting through our midfield at will

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Is that Anthony Grant in the middle who used to be at Vale? Been the best player on the pitch so far

 

[mark82]

Don't forget he's been injured so behind some of the others fitness wise I assume.

 

[cc84cov]

Giles and O’Hare linking up wel down the left Giles is rapid

 

[fernandopartridge]

we looked much better against Rangers

We're always better with Kelly in the side tbf.

Hilssner is the weak link, he needs to be getting beyond Baka but he's not anywhere near it

 

[ccfcway]

Glad to see no-one is over-reacting in here...

I’ve missed this.

I just need “robins needs to make a change”, “Baka is too isolated” and we are too lightweight” and I have Match day thread bingo

I'd add another striker too.

 

[cc84cov]

Giles superb cross again Baka can’t control it

Give Jones a go there.

 

[BornSlippySkyBlue]

Baka’s not looking so fired up today. Someone tell him they banged his misses.

 

[covcity4life]

Hilßner needs to get on his toes

He's playong fine. Jesus

 

[ccfcway]

We need a touchdown

o’hare from the villains looks a good draft pick.

 

[CanuckSkyBlue]

We’re struggling to string to few passes together.

 

[Frostie]

I’ve missed this.

I just need “robins needs to make a change”, “Baka is too isolated” and we are too lightweight” and I have Match day thread bingo

And that was just in the games we won last season.

 

[Liquid Gold]

Love the way Hamer just decided it was his ball and nudged their player away. terrier.

 

[covcity4life]

An9ther good thru ball there from hilsner. Baka needs to switch on

 

[Deleted member 4439]

police car for Robins

 

[cc84cov]

Another great cross from Giles nobody in the box

 

[Blind-Faith]

Hilssner loves a through ball! When we get a proper striker on the pitch , Godden will be putting them away for fun

 

[mark82]

Love the way Hamer just decided it was his ball and nudged their player away. terrier.

He looks good, as does Giles.

 

[cooperskyblue]

You can see why we would want to bring in this Sheaf or another Defensive Mid, Allen is so much better when he is a CAM making runs beyond the striker than he is trying to play this holing role.

 

[stay_up_skyblues]

O’Hare such a tidy footballer.

 

[covcity4life]

We’re struggling to string to few passes together.

Bo horvat baby

 

[cc84cov]

Hamer Giles O’Hare playing very well

 

[Liquid Gold]

Baka isn't really applying himself again, such a frustrating player because you can see glimpses but not regularly enough.

 

[clint van damme]

I’ve missed this.

I just need “robins needs to make a change”, “Baka is too isolated” and we are too lightweight” and I have Match day thread bingo

not sure anyone's written anything that isn't true.
As long as people appreciate it's a pre season friendly and don't start writing us off as relegation certainties based on this game not sure it can be classed as over reaction.

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Another great cross from Giles nobody in the box

We barely scored from a cross last season

 

[Tommo1993]

Giles will beat Caddis 9/10 times. Can see potential in one wing back but not the other.

 

[ccfcway]

Giles really impressing with his crosses. Needs willing runners to get on the end of them
