Bapaga on this showing should get more minutes

How did da Costa play?

 

[cc84cov]

DaCosta has been very good second half once he settled in credit to him

 

[cc84cov]

Bapaga on this showing should get more minutes

And he’s not even match sharp

How did da Costa play?

Laughable first half

Found his feet more through the game and got into it. Attacked well.

Goes to show what happens when players get minutes.

Anyone comes in for Shipley this window, Robins surely snaps their hand off, hes woeful, no desire or effort. Given him a 90 min testemonial hopefully.

 

[BornSlippySkyBlue]

It's the same every week - they just haul him down. Does he fall over too easily do we think?

Not sure, he gets fouled a lot though definitely. He does go down looking for them, but can’t really blame him. We’re always talking about being ‘smarter’ and he does that well. Shame it doesn’t happen in the box more often.

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

Not sure it's as simple as that.

We need to actually want to try and win games.

If Max's shots had gone in, you couldn't say we weren't trying to win. I know you get frustrated mate, but 'most' of the team have put a shift in. The commentator is praising the Norwich keeper.

How much longer are Walker and Godden out for?

Godden is 2-3 month
Walker is another 4-6 weeks.

Agreed gives a green light for Baka to piss off I think

You just sense we could have made a better effort and gone throughhad we approached the game that way. Since those back to back early goals there's been nothing between the two sides. If anything we have had the best of the second. So frustrating we lacked the belief today, and then throw on yougsters and put a few minutes into James.
Might just as well have played most of the reserves.

They have been in first gear since The first half hour - they have a third choice goalkeeper and other fringe players and it’s been pretty easy

I mean I haven't watched but the stats show we just lack quality up top today

 

[Londonccfcfan]

It's how it is. Not much to be positive about with this game is there?

Plenty of positives. Concentrate on league.

Max is looking Sharp.
Great to get a look at Da Costa. The lads done well. Won’t get tougher than Norwich away.
Bapaga and James crucial game time. Bapaga is definitely ahead of Baka for me.
Eccles and Giles also game time.

 

[covcity4life]

Unlucky lads not the result we wanted but a good performance .

Plenty to be happy with. Biamou centre forward play was very good. Da costa grew ibto the game. We made alot of chsnces vs a very good team.

Bring on rest of the league campaign. We can achieve comfortable survival imo

"concentrating on the league"

That's what you say when you play a second string.

 

[Frostie]

Killed ourselves with those mad couple of minutes early on but coped ok other than that.

Dacosta, as bad as he was positionally early on, has improved as the game's gone on & will benefit hugely from this 90mins.

Frustrating but we made a good go of it, particularly 2nd half.
But for a more composed finish, better final pass etc it could have been very different & I'll expect their keeper will be man of the match.

 

[Grendel]

How did da Costa play?

If I was him I’d get in the social media game. He could become a fans favourite - ill leave it there

 

[mrtrench]

Oh well, we did our best.

 

[ccfc92]

How did da Costa play?

Was much better 2nd half tbf.

We had a second choice keeper and players missing too. They have more quality than us though clearly

Bapaga isn't a striker.

Crucial game time, ten minutes at the end?

Can we sell Baka in the pound shop

Different positions.

 

[Ccfcisparks]

I’m usually one to masssively overreact after a poor result but some of the comments today are laughable

 

[shmmeee]

Bapaga looked more dangerous there than Shipley Allen Baka and Biamou put together have all season.

 

[Evo1883]

"concentrating on the league"

That's what you say when you play a second string.

To be fair though, even at our very best... It's a tough place for any team to win.. They look likely to win our league

Still could really use some bodies though but yes Da Costa I think will improve with more minutes.

 

[bawtryneal]

Yeah it doesn't work.

We are playing a team that was Premier League last year and will be PL next season with a squad wage bill 8 times of ours.
We are a newly promoted team from League 1 with a squad that is in transition over the next three years.
Give them and MR an f'ing break.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

We will struggle to progress without a better set of options up front. Matty james looks good. Da Costa second half excellent and bapaga needs a number of 15 min cameos

 

[cc84cov]

I never over react EVER

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Different positions.

Think Bapaga could probably be partnered with someone up front if it came down to it. Baka is just a waste of space

 

[Evo1883]

Raw talent? Just goes for it I'm guessing

We don't really have a 2nd string!

No way you can let him leave and a not quite fit Max plays up front on his own for the next 8 games
