Anyone will do. May as well stick McFadz up top and just launch it with 2 minutes left.

Better than him plying at the back!

Dissappointing overall. Tired looking from some players. Mccallum, dabo.

 

[Frostie]

Who?

Baka? Jobello?

We haven’t got anyone who can impact a game on the bench.

We've got some really good options to help protect a lead imo but nobody to really change it in an attacking sense.

 

[larry_david]

It's well known we have a squad who are barely above average standard in this league. So what we need is energy, runners, commitment, fresh legs when struggling.

So what do we do when we're looking knackered? Make no subs and let their quality over take our tiring legs. Staggering game management

And when we're allowed to make 5 subs...

 

[lordy_87]

Why the f*ck has he only made one change? Absolutely baffling

 

[covhead1]

I thought we looked the more likely to score and boro get one on the break, still a gift of a fucking goal though!

 

[covmark]

to be fair, might as well give Baka a go

Jesus, Bakayoko is fucking crap.

They have brought on subs that have cost between them at various times at least 31 million quid.

And? Should we just not bother with fresh legs then?

 

[Adge]

Listening to the same broken record every week. 2 poor goals and the masters of our own downfall yet again.

 

[CCFCSteve]

Nearly a hat tick of comedy goals....we literally can’t help ourselves !!!

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

First time I've been worried about my blood pressure when they scored their second. Need to recalibrate and calm.

 

[Chip Batch]

We’ve seen it happen this season more than once he is too cautious at times

Yeah, it’s difficult but in some of the ‘easier’ games we could definitely give it more of a go. We need tonow playing the teams around us in the next few.

 

[Dickie]

One sub. Bloody hell. Needed changes after an hour.

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Someone was trying to tell me on another thread (can’t remember who) that we don’t need to overhaul the defence because they only conceded 4 against Watford, Norwich, Brentford and Blackburn. I hope they’re watching this.

 

[mark82]

Fuck, fuck, fuck.

 

[shepardo01]

I thought we looked the more likely to score and boro get one on the break, still a gift of a fucking goat though!

Another one....again... (presume you mean goal)

 

[Marty]

Players just aren't good enough to compete at this level, squad needs a overhaul if we stay up.

 

[covmark]

Utter shite again. We'll be down on this piss poor showing.

I pray to the footballing gods that Godden is back on Saturday.

 

[Paul Anthony]

Awful at the back, crap up front. Not a great combination.

People has this game down in their “easier” run of games

 

[hill83]

Disappointing that is. We’ve got to get decent points out of the next few games and hope Rotherham fuck up their games in hand. Still think we will be ok and I didn’t expect a result tonight to be honest anyway. But we were shit.

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Oh Robins. You got this wrong today. Should have made some changes in attack.

 

[lordy_87]

We're not going to stay up trying to not lose at home, the game has been there for us to go and try to win second half and we've just not done it.

We're sat mostly in our own half all of the time and the goal was inevitable.

I have to say I put a lot of this on Robins, we either want to win games or we don't

We've been doing this all season - he lacks bravery

 

[play_in_skyblue_stripes]

a couple minutes ago refreshed the SBT screen and could see lots of new pages so obvious a goal for someone.
Painful .

 

[AOM]

Obviously has absolutely no faith in his substitutes. Most players were out on their feet begging for some fresh legs

 

[shepardo01]

Can anybody see us getting points off Wycombe, Rotherham and Derby?....

 

[Sky_Blue_Dreamer]

Disappointing after taking the lead. Just slowly let them come back into the game and eventually control it. Bench wasn't strong but even so with a few minutes left and the way it's going, plus some players looking really tired, just try something to get back on level terms.

Hopefully will improve on Saturday.

 

[David O'Day]

Easier when you have Yanik Bolassi on the bench.

Fella who scored cost them between 7 and 8 million as well.

 

[clint van damme]

Biamou has been treading water we needed energy.

I'm not sure energy alone is enough.
We really need 2 wins from.the next 3.

 

[nmp2327]

Absolutely pathetic all round, anyone see Walker in the entire game !!!

Robins must the shittest manager in the world. If only he was aware they were tired and the way to win was to make changes. You lot are really depressing in your lack of understanding of the position we are in

 

[Chip Batch]

Jesus, Bakayoko is fucking crap.

Totally agree, but he has a little bit of pace and worth some fresh legs near the end.

 

[mark82]

To be honest, unless we're going to invest we may be better going down.

 

[jordan210]

Once again comical error has cost us.

Not making changes to at least counter them is a Joke. Yes we dont have a great bench. but we cant keep playing the same players and then wonder hwy they look tired.

No point trying to keep playing for draws and wondering why we lose.
