So you think we didn’t play well second half??


Yes we did very well.

But playing well isnt getting us points is it? All well and good playing well and creating but when you're letting them in for a laugh and missing the chances you're creating, the pretty stuff in the build up is pretty pointless

Fooking fuming but a bad pass and everyone is on their backs. We are the new boys ffs and let’s move on. Make the lessons before Xmas and be better for it. We haven’t played at this level so take it and move on. We are playing the big boys and listening to Linnell it’s like Colin Cromton!

Gutted rather than fuming. Unhappy rather than angry. Yes biamou and mcfadzean should have been more savvy in final minute but can’t be unhappy with the way we played overall. Did so well till 96th minute. Could so easily have picked up 3pts...very unlucky not to get one. Robins got to keep the camp positive.

Which is my point. We made them look shit as we did Reading. That’s where my optimism comes from

Good on you - I'm an optimist, but It took me a few minutes for my blood pressure to return to anything like normal after full time (P.S. I'm going to be brave and keep my avatar)

Haven't been that angry watching a game on TV in....maybe ever? Was already in a bad mood with the Sheffield Wednesday and Wycombe news.

Don't see the point in arguing over who was more at fault between Max and Fadz - the bottom line is that neither player is someone we can afford to start on a regular basis if we want to stay up.

Maybe this is what the morons meant about Biamou being able to do stuff our other forwards couldn’t, utter shite

Yes it was a mistake by Max. But let's get this in some kind of context.

The mistake was in the 96th minute after he'd been the most influential forward on the pitch in my view and played a huge role in a fantastic second half performance. All players make mistakes so let's not crucify one player for one mistake in a game (in which for 95 minutes he was great).

I'm as disappointed as anyone - we deserved to win tonight. But that's football. Let's support our players; they've shown over the last two games that they are growing into this League. I believe in Robins and I believe in this team on what I am seeing.

What is really disappointing to be honest is seeing some of our fans who want to see certain players fail due to their own agenda. Fadz also had a great game tonight before the 95th minute, I think it was a brilliant pass from Fadz to McCallum that set up the goal for O'Hare?

Getting furious and scapegoating individuals - it's just not helpful. I'm proud of our performance tonight and let's move forward onto the next game and fully support our team.

If you’re happy to accept basic errors from a mediocre player at this level, then don’t be surprised when we’re relegated.

Nobody wants individuals or the team to fail. They're just sick to death of the same things repeating themselves and the neverending shithousery

We weren’t unlucky, it was poor play.

I don't accept that Max was mediocre tonight in terms of his all round performance; he dominated the Forest defence after half time.

If we crucified every player after they made one mistake we wouldn't have a team; for example O'Hare (who I love) missed some nailed on chances last season and Hamer was idiotically sent off this season. Are you saying that they should never play either again due to basic errors?

Max is usually very effective at holding up the ball and bringing others into play - he made a mistake tonight like all other players do - perhaps give him a break and appreciate what he brings to the team.

He didn’t dominate the forest defence whatsoever, it’s the usual biased hyperbolic stuff that gets trotted out to make excuses for his short-comings.
He’s not good enough for this level.

Forest were shit but the difference is whereas we usually lose 2/3/4-0 when we play shit other teams still get the win against us. Godden stays on the pitch and we win that

Naive. Again
Yeah, great, played well second half - created chances.
Did not take them. Again.
Lovely to say how well we played second half....
Bottom line is we took ZERO points. Again.
Keep this going and we'll be bottom by the end of November.

Just watched the highlights on sky sports app, what was fadz doing for the pen? He’s old enough and wise enough surely to not fucking touch him? Nearly as bad as roses the other week!

Max has two guilt edge chances and has too take one of them.

Luckily I was at work so I’m not feeling the anger of some as I couldn’t watch the game , just really disappointed

List Max's shortcomings - I'm truly interested.

exactly he puts a mediocre player who’d struggle to get a league one club ahead of our survival chances - it’s bizarre
