I think marosi is ok
Dabo will be ok when fit
Mcfadzean is ok
Sheaf and hamer ok
Ohare too
Potentially walker

That’s about it

Again that game should have ended 0-0

You’re getting punished for not spending 200% of your annual income when all around you are. We’ve been in this situation for years in this league welcome to our world.

You sound a good man Mr Barnsley

 

[cc84cov]

Predicted us to be bang in trouble early before the start of season worrying showings so far we seem so far off the level we are not gonna stay up trying to nick 1-0’s at this level

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Great, they are still utter shit and one of the teams being relegated/

Comfortably and along with ourselves

 

[Tommo1993]

Even Wycombe have learned to shithouse a draw

 

[ccfc92]

"Is there toilets down there?"

 

[robbiekeane]

Godden is absolutely shite and the fact we went into this league with him as our main striker is pitiful

Godden has fuck all pace but he can finish. He’s being played as a lone striker and hoof ball up to him. That’s on Robins...need to try something else

 

[JulianDarbyFTW]

We are not able to at this level, it’s like some people majorly overestimate the ability of our players.

I think we're good enough to retain possession better than we do. It seems like we just get scared of the ball. That's what frustrates me. The first game or three of the season we at least competed and passes went to other players. Now we just hoof it. We're not world beaters, but we're better than this.

 

[matesx]

We cannot keep the ball more than 10 seconds.

Utter garbage.

Brutal season ahead.

 

[Evo1883]

Time for a system change I think or atleast explore an alternative

 

[Nick]

bizarre comment, we competed all evening. tough game in a season that will be tough for us

We really didn't compete.

 

[HuckerbyDublinWhelan]

Godden is absolutely shite and the fact we went into this league with him as our main striker is pitiful

5th top scorer in the league? He’s playing up top on his own

 

[Sbarcher]

Worst goals against in the league!

 

[clint van damme]

Higher than midtable, there's just outside of play offs.
How much did they say the fella who scored today cost in total fees again?

16 million.
Roberts has played Champions League, McNair played for United and at the Euros for NI, but that's no excuse apparently. Honestly, some of our support are fucking embarrassing. Couple of good seasons and the sense of entitlement is off the scale.

 

[Hobo]

Down to bare bones. People coming off bench didn't look fully match fit.

Effort is tbere but we just look a little bit off the pace.

It is going to be a long hard season.

 

[hill83]

Again that game should have ended 0-0

You are dreaming. Not a chance we deserved a draw out of that.

 

[SBT]

He has to be thinking about a change in tactics/formation in the coming games. Also it has to be said that summer recruitment isn't looking too hot.

What summer recruitment? We spent all summer furiously trying to get the League One band back together, and it shows. The only permanent additions have been an asthmatic German and a striker with more positive Covid tests than league goals.

 

[fernandopartridge]

Fucking embarrassing.

Robins needs to start looking past the obsession with Godden on his own.

Godden is the best we've got, does a good job ploughing a completely lone furrow

 

[David O'Day]

they're bottom of the league without a win, why do you keep mentioning them, it's fucking weird.

it is

Because we'll get spanked by Watford and people will use their relative strength as an excuse.

Team gets one draw to get their first point in 7 games and you are using that as a stick to beat Cov?

 

[covcity4life]

Reading on friday. Scored 4 today

Can't wait

 

[Monners]

Oh well. We should have got a point out of that.

 

[mark82]

I think the long and the short of it is that we're not a very good team at this level. Going to be a long hard season, you can tell the early confidence has just gone.

They were always going to score with the way we set up. They had 18 shots to our 3.

 

[mr_monkey]

Long hard season

I don't actually thibk we were that bad. Hamer looks good and sheaf for growing as a player

Our front 3 nees to do more though.

Walker hang your head in same. You cost us a draw. Oh and Shipley

Hang his head for being fouled, ok...

 

[Dickie]

The same Reading winning 4-2 away this evening?

The same Reading who beat Blackburn away who thrashed us 4:0 at home. Yes them

 

[lifeskyblue]

A game we could/should have drawn. Not too unhappy with performance. But you can’t play Marty ‘turns like an oil tanker’ Godden up on his own. And shippers needs to put himself about on the pitch...pulls out of 50/50s. Walker needs to get fit

We can’t just say “it’s ok to lose to these because they’re further up the league than us”.

If we continue like this then every team will be above us because we’re dead bottom.

Do we just accept a loss on Friday now because Reading are just better than us? No, we should be going for it because we’ve earned the right to be in this league and the only way we can stay in here is by winning football games and not thinking every team is a combo of 2012 Barca, 90s Milan and 70s Brazil.

 

[Sky_Blue_Dreamer]

Need improvement massively. Went into the game looking to be more solid defensively which we were, but still looked like we might concede and we had nothing up front. Need to sort out the balance quickly as we do look like we're not going to score but concede. That isn't a good recipe.

Not going to shit the bed just yet as there's a long way to go but we need to get to grips with this division quickly. If we could improve our passing to something like last season's standard we're in with a chance but they seem to be making basic mistakes cos they're so worried about the opposition.

 

[covcity4life]

Barnsley won ffs

 

[ccfcway]

Because we'll get spanked by Watford and people will use their relative strength as an excuse.

as opposed to people saying wycombe got a point tonight but dont note they have 5 times less points than us ?

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

We're getting worse by the game

It's outrageous. I didn't think people would need it explaining but they obviously do. Fucking lunatics.

 

[cc84cov]

Not recruiting championship experience always worried me I know budgets come into it etc tho

 

[covmark]

What has he got to explain to you?

Not just me. Many of us paid to watch that tripe.

What are you on about? What do their abilities have to do with the goals we’ve been conceding?
