I believe many of us would have taken a draw , especially given other results. We are in Peril ourselves and it’s nonchalant to believe we could just beat Derby , yes not pretty but a midweek point away in winter is always welcome , move on we went up a place .

Desperate nonsense as always.

You just want to be proven right about playing a back 4 and you are totally blind to a very poor performance.

Starting the game with the formation we played against the leaders Norwich would have won us this game.

That doesn't count because Biamou scored late and they had injuries. Tonight does count though Hamer scored even later and Derby were bottom

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

Derby weren’t good, we just made them look ok by sitting off them all game and gifting them the ball back every time we got it. Our ball retention has been appalling all season. We genuinely look like a League Two side in possession sometimes.

 

[Monners]

Oggy reckons having 2 up top helped get the goal, BSB chats shit again

I do think we need two up front - when Godden is fit (with Walker).

 

[Evo1883]

And he kept the clowns up who but for a points deduction were relegated last season

I mean I don't mind his posts but to suggest because Robins did something 10 years ago he's going to do it now is bollocks.... We went at Watford, we went at Bristol, we went at forest 2nd half and got fuck all.. We have to find a way to get points and he's doing it, despite the shite performance today

Play this system every week if it keeps us up for all I care

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Does that settle the Walsh/Hamer argument?

Hamer is absolute class. Cool as ice that finish.

Better tell robins - call him a taxi

I fully understand why we have to go 1 up front given the injury problems but we're going to find it so hard to win games just nicking the odd goal and asking miracles of the lone striker

 

[clint van damme]

I've no problem with 1 up front to keep it tight but at some point you have to go for it. Left it too late tonight. Especially given.how poor several players played.

 

[no_loyalty]

Except when we draw of course

We scored straight after I said that, so I was well happy.

1 up front but you can’t expect O’Hare & Shipley to keep us in this league their not good enough

 

[Grendel]

were we on track to concede 100 goals if we carried on with wing backs as we were

answer - yes

Decent away point I’d say. Derby have some decent players despite their league position

I'm a huge fan of Robins and unlike some other twat on here I'm not calling for a taxi.

But I certainly don't want to see that formation again.

 

[Covkid1968#]

Not posted for a while as been in a bad place health wise....but the moaning really demonstrates how far we have come...a draw against an established Championship team is unbelievable really. I keep looking at league 2 fixtures and its amazing to think where we have come from. PUSB ... changed into my lucky City shorts... just before they scored...

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Better tell robins - call him a taxi

Would you play the same way on Saturday?

 

[Barnsley]

I mean I don't mind his posts but to suggest because Robins did something 10 years ago he's going to do it now is bollocks.... We went at Watford, we went at Bristol, we went at forest 2nd half and got fuck all.. We have to find a way to get points and he's doing it, despite the shite performance today

But then he went and did it, told you how you’d play against the worst team in the league, and judging by posts in here that’s what happened, it’s not over yet you’ll see it for most of December too.

 

[cc84cov]

were we on track to concede 100 goals if we carried on with wing backs as we were

answer - yes

Set up like that against Rotherham we will be beaten the luck will run out soon

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

Why are we pretending that we haven’t had a massive shift in quality of opposition since the break? Even Norwich were down to the bare bones and poor on the day. We should’ve picked up 10 points the last 4, not 6.

I think the should've is more a might have. Cardiff have won 4-0 and 3-0 since we played them. I don't always agree with Grendel, and I think playing wing backs suits us better, but Derby was by no means a gimme game. We carried a player or two today. Walker was made ineffective in the system, Shippers let most of the game pass him by, and Dabo and McCallum's attacking play was negated. Even Hamer was quieter than usual. MR will look back at that and have a rethink, I'm sure. Rotherham will be another slog (based on last season alone). FWIW, I thought that Colin Kazim Richards was a handful in the air today, plus a neat bit of skill for that sitter they missed.

 

[procdoc]

Well so is calling me a melt for being right and having others agree, funny they tend to get ignored and it's a pile on on the poster who's openly admitted to being stressed out of his mind

You would rather us play a system where we conceded more goals than anyone else in the league

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

But we have no choice but to use those players. If they're not good enough there's not much we can do.
They've been.thrown.in because we can't afford better.

At the minute we're 19th. Finish there and it's job done but it's not going to be a barrrell of laughs from.now until the end of the season.

I know we need to rotate a bit, but we have better options on the bench that should have come on earlier, potentially even started.

Every time Shipley plays we might as well have 10 men. McCallum was absolutely shocking and how he survived until 85 minutes is a bit of a joke really. It's frustrating because if we were a bit more positive we would have wiped them out.

 

[Evo1883]

I'm a huge fan of Robins and unlike some other twat on here I'm not calling for a taxi.

You will see it again though I'm afraid, because we're getting points on the board... They can ofcourse try and tweak and work on things in training... Alot of today's problems were poor individual performances imo

 

[Hullinho87]

Bet he has the most single goal victories of any manager who has ever been promoted.

Odd to use in the context of a criticism.
Very odd in fact.

 

[Tartan Specials]

Derby weren’t good, we just made them look ok by sitting off them all game and gifting them the ball back every time we got it. Our ball retention has been appalling all season. We genuinely look like a League Two side in possession sometimes.

In fairness, they looked as good as us. I thought a draw was just about right. Our full backs had an off night and that's where all our problems came from. Hey ho, a draw away from home against a relagation contender........are people forgetting what we did for 30 years in the Big League!!

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

were we on track to concede 100 goals if we carried on with wing backs as we were

answer - yes

So surely that dreadful formation should have shipped many more than 1 on Saturday. Dude, we weren't conceding because of the formation. Penalties, horrible individual errors and zonal marking from set pieces were what cost us.

We are going to find it so hard to win games playing like this

 

[Sky Blue Dal]

4 of Your next 5 games will be same, he shits himself at this level when playing fellow relegation strugglers, he see them as mustn’t lose games rather than very winnable.

I fear I am seeing this pattern manifesting but can’t help to show my loyalty towards Robins for getting us out of the mire we were in, down in the lower league.

Just hope Robins has more faith in himself to get past this barrier. PUSB

 

[Evo1883]

But then he went and did it, told you how you’d play against the worst team in the league, and judging by posts in here that’s what happened, it’s not over yet you’ll see it for most of December too.

He's been manager here for 3 years,basically 4 overall... we know more about what Robins does than you lot for God's sake

 

[DannyThomas_1981]

were we on track to concede 100 goals if we carried on with wing backs as we were

answer - yes

Three problems with your usual cluelessness:

1. we conceded goals early this season mostly down to individual errors and adjusting to this league/match fitness after a long lay off
2. our defensive 3 works much better with Kelly shielding and he was out injured in the early games
3. as you know we should have conceded at least 4 tonight even with your "rock solid" defensive 4

 

[Grendel]

I'm a huge fan of Robins and unlike some other twat on here I'm not calling for a taxi.

But I certainly don't want to see that formation again.

My summary of the game has attracted 15 likes so far - you and BSB are well liking each other’s posts

let’s leave it there

 

[theferret]

We beat QPR playing wing backs. We beat Reading playing wing backs. We drew at Norwich playing wing backs. This system from last season that just doesn't work apparently.

Suggest playing a back four doesn't suit us and you get jumped on by the yeah but 0-0 against Blues crowd as though you are suggesting something utterly outrageous.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

You would rather us play a system where we conceded more goals than anyone else in the league

It wasn't because of the formation just look at the goals FFS

 

[BackRoomRummermill]

But then he went and did it, told you how you’d play against the worst team in the league, and judging by posts in here that’s what happened, it’s not over yet you’ll see it for most of December too.

what are next weeks lottery numbers pal ?

 

[clint van damme]

1 up front but you can’t expect O’Hare & Shipley to keep us in this league their not good enough

But they're what we've got.
Why do people keep banging on about players not being good enough? They're what we have, it's not like we had the chance to recruit proven Championship pedigree. People need to accept it for what it is for their own sanity if nothing else!

And I disagree about O'Hare, not saying he will make the grade but too early to say he won't.
Shipley is really struggling.

We should have won 4-2 - they should have scored 4 lol
