yep it’s just the silly errors at the back and inability to score that’s costing us, again. It certainly worries me so I guess I will go and have a massive piss on my bed

I'm way ahead of you

[stay_up_skyblues]

Probably just me, but I expected us to lose this and I'm not actually that bothered. Hope I'm not losing interest.

No mate, that’s just sensible. Although if we’d have brought Baka and Bapaga on at HT and played 3–3-4 we would have won 5-1.

You're not allowed to question his performative yet sloppy passing.

Today wasn't one of his better games.

 

[Paxman II]

O'Hare collects runs striaght into Reading player and falls over, Reading player comes away with ball. Frustrating. It's just too often. Contribution has to be better. Running around all day looking busy is not working. Love the lad but he looks like he needs a rest and a refresh.

 

[Liquid Gold]

I hope that game puts a firework up their arses for Saturday. It’s more important we win that one than this one but we can’t get on a bad run of form and we especially can’t continue scoring nothing.

 

[mr_monkey]

The most shocking thing for me tonight is that there's still 400 people on the match thread!

We've lost so of course it's going to be busy here

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

This is the worst I've seen our defence playing for a long time. Shambolic. Despite what some people say, I think we really missed Sheaf in the first 75 minutes.

I'd have started him, pushing Gus up - MR may have to have a word re: passing infield at the back. as the pitches are likely to be iffy for the next month or two. Play the percentages. Didn't expect anything tonight, but hoped - forget about it!

 

[letsallsingtogether]

Lots enjoying the we’re shit and robins is shit and hyam is shit and Max is shit and hamer isn’t great

Some live for it

Most on here tbh.

 

[Evo1883]

"Could have" doesn't get points though?

We currently have the points though nick... Were currently still 7 clear and you're not happy ever... So what do you want? Top half? Top 6?

 

[Kieranp96]

Why? He's a deep lying midfielder

He's also a right back attacking midfielder and a rw what's your point? He's clearly a attacking minded player give it a go can't be any worst than Shipley.

 

[Malaka]

Even then sheaf just wanged one straight out of play. Passes been shambolic today

Oh do shut up

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Out of interest what were your expectations at the start of the season?

I'm just really pissed off with this display and the trend. Expecting it in advance doesn't make it suddenly enjoyable

 

[Skyblue_CP]

Max miss = unlucky
O’Hare miss = can’t finish

Max's chance = under challenge
O'Hares chance = sitter : AGAIN

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

No game Saturday

 

[Sky_Blue_Dreamer]

Max miss = unlucky
O’Hare miss = can’t finish

Apart from for Grendel who has it the other way round.

For what it's worth I think O'Hare, osti and biamou all missed chances we should be scoring. Should've had 3 or 4 tonight and got none. Meanwhile some shocking defending meant we could've let in 5.

We aren’t playing on Saturday

 

[Grendel]

Got closer to the goal in 20 mins than O'Hare has for the last 2500000 match minutes.

No he really didn’t and the fact that a 5 foot 7 inch midfielder has scored more headed goals this season that the selfie man who masquerades as a striker says all we need to know

 

[Nick]

First half we were well in the game and lots were still staying we were poor

How were we still in the game? It's delusional, you know for a fact Robins isn't going to try and get back into the game.

Corner counts don't count.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

The warning signs aren't enormous, we've scored more than several teams and are losing 3 nil away at a top 6 side but we could have scored 3... We aren't a poor side, we have a lack of quality in certain areas and that could take another couple of transfer windows to even properly address...

We don't have the money to fix it immediately

We look desperately poor in both boxes which is where games are won and lost. Our goals for column has only been disturbed once in several months

 

[stupot07]

What a shit result albeit not surprising against a good team. We have now scored in just 1 of our last 7 games, and more worryingly in just 1 of our last 15 halves of football.

I'm not enjoying this anymore than you are.

Difference is I'm able to accept that they are much, much better than us and that we will lose many games this season and I can avoid making daft knee jerk reactions to it.

Funny, I thought that we’d already beaten them once this season, must have imagined it.

 

[clint van damme]

It's this 'not in the drop zone yet' when the warning signs are enormous that bothers me. Millwall giving us basically 2 own goals changes little.

why is it for some on here every decent result we have is down to some 'gift' and nothing to do with the team getting a deserved result?
What a joyless fucking existence some of you cunts lead.

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

Their commentator: 'Reading have bigger fish to fry than Coventry.'

He's not wrong, but more arrogant than Robins.

 

[Londonccfcfan]

Only good thing about tonight is that it's only 8pm. Time to salvage my evening.

 

[Frostie]

Second half was really, really poor all round.
Yes, they're a very good side but you can't keep giving away utter gifts like we do.

Bring Hillsner back off loan

Oh bollocks. Saturdays are shit enough at the moment without the football.

 

[larry_david]

Ha

Oh do shut up

Yeah mate. You banging on about mcfadz being a liability all season. Guys been our best cb.

 

[DazzleTommyDazzle]

free header number 9 missed

Yep, no one near him (apart from the 4 defenders he beat to the ball)

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Max's chance = under challenge
O'Hares chance = sitter : AGAIN

Ostigard's was worse than both combined

 

[Paxman II]

McFaz out puts us in a difficult spot now. I think a dressing room row or two might clear the air tonight. We began so well but looked disjointed so often. Shipley and not Sheaf? New signing straight in when Max has not been so bad. We are shot shy, and lack movement into the box. Team selection is critical now going forward.

 

[covcity4life]

No mate, that’s just sensible. Although if we’d have brought Baka and Bapaga on at HT and played 3–3-4 we would have won 5-1.

So just to confirm you are saying that if go 2 down the game SHOULD be over and we SHOULDNT try to get back into it?

 

[fernandopartridge]

We were still in the game, bizarre to say otherwise

It's this, and not the defeat that bothered me about tonight.

We had tightened up alot, that's gone backwards in recent weeks again... With fadz out we mat have to go 4 atb, which in my opinion at this level is still the superior system and more balanced in attack and defense... We may now be forced to try something different
