If we look objectively they are strong in midfield and defensively we are struggling. Both flanks the wingbacks look vulnerable - sheaf and Hamer are not really strong enough to hind them when they move forward

we look a more fluent team going forward but we’ve got to be better at the back

That’s just not true grendel

[AFCCOVENTRY]

If he’s not fit enough to play football why is he in the bench? If he’s fit enough for 45 minutes play him for your first 45 surely and then hopefully we will be ahead if you have to bring him on? Baffling

Don’t think Robins has anyone to select for the bench in defence. Our lack of squad depth is showing.

 

[Grendel]

Yep he’s not been a weak link at all.

he’s garbage

 

[Liquid Gold]

Why do we accept inept officials.

We pay out money and put our time and effort in. Our emotions and our passion goes into it and some idiot fucking ruins it.

I’m sick to the back fucking teeth of it.

 

[Nick]

Pask on at HT and Dabo to RWB? Can't do any worse than we currently are at the back

Should have started like that.

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

2 of back 4 on yellows. Maatsen has something going forward but is incredibly rash in his defending

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Dacosta is rubbish and it’s an obvious penalty - cheap but obviously - you need to stop this nonsense

Who would you have played Grendel?

 

[Grendel]

That’s just not true grendel

well it is is I’m at the game

 

[Great_Expectations]

DaCosta not as bad as being made out. He’s not taking his man on, but he’s a full back not a winger. We are blessed with Dabo.

On that note, as I said before bring Pask on af CB and get Dabo RWB where he can impact the game.

Sheaf has played well and Gyokeres is a real handful and full of confidence again.

Waghorn doing well of the call but pretty minimum on it.

We’ve been by far the better team, but caught out by a silly error (or two). Second half if we step it up slightly (which we’re capable of) we’ll get back into it.

 

[Liquid Gold]

Also fuck dacosta

I’d rather we had 10 men

Even dabo is furious with him.

 

[CCFCSteve]

Played well overall. Just need to start burying these chances

 

[Londonccfcfan]

I don’t understand why Pask isn’t playing CB

Should be frigging asked that at end of match

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

Also Dacosta hasn’t been that bad

He’s been dreadful mate, he hasn’t beaten his man once, he takes about 10 seconds to make his mind up as to what he’s going to do next every time he has the ball and he’s rubbish defensively too. They’ve got a CB playing out of position at LB and we haven’t taken advantage of it at all.

 

[Nick]

Our shots have been shit though. Even hitting the post was a miskick.

 

[Grendel]

Who would you have played Grendel?

I’d have either played pask or played a flat 4 with Allen - dacosta isn’t this standard and that Is clear to see

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

These games? We’ve lost 1 this seapsn

That doesn’t change how the play has unfolded

 

[Deleted member 2477]

Good first half except the pathetic pen Dabo gave away. Dacosta one of his better games and at least Ohare is hitting the target this time. We are desperate for a top class goal scorer shame we havnt got a few million in the bank to buy one like Armstrong

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

So little power on the shots in general. Only Maatsen has hit one with a bit of conviction

it was a clear penalty - dumb but clear

 

[shmmeee]

Missed the first half of the half getting iFollow working. We look alright. Nightmare from Dabo for the pen but otherwise looks better than V Forest. Dacosta is doing OK for him TBH. Sheaf and Hamer looking class again. Forwards being too greedy and Sheaf not greedy enough. Györkeres should’ve squared a couple of times, O’Hare if he’d controlled the rebound would surely have scored one on one, Sheaf needed to swing his left foot and we’d have scored.

Unlucky to go in 1 down, absolutely dominated them. Hope that doesn’t get to them mentally.

Would be tempted to Chuck Pask on for Dacosta but which Pask turns up is a real question. Ref is fucking awful, as per.

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Did it unfold like that at Blackpool?

 

[Londonccfcfan]

Same old story

Batter teams

Hit the woodwork

Concede.

And Dacosta is a fucking liability, hasnt once tried taking on his man

Can't blame Da Costa...manager picked him.

 

[Liquid Gold]

Imagine defending DaCosta.

Football knowledge of a fucking smurf.

 

[Liquid Gold]

it was a clear penalty - dumb but clear

If that’s a pen then make it a non contact sport and be done with it.

I was right in line with the contact and it’s a shoulder to shoulder.

Tom Daley would be proud of that dive.

 

[robbiekeane]

What’s he done badly today mate?

He always seems to be just too far behind play when he should be further forward providing an outlet for the midfield, or just too ahead of play when they win the ball and he leaves us exposed and pressure on the defence. You can tell dabo is itching to do that job and tries to do it all.

What do you want from a wing back, if you take it back to basics? defending (he can’t really defend he’s an accident waiting to happen), ability to take on his man and beat his man (not done that once, tried some skill at one point and fell over his own feet), and be able to cross a ball. Well his crosses have been poor and if he can’t even get himself a yard of space it doesn’t matter if he can cross.

He also can’t really handle short quick passing in tight areas which dabo can.

Im not being harsh he’s just shit at this level

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

A few million - he cost £15m

 

[Londonccfcfan]

Keep the faith plenty of time. Performance is very encouraging.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

We passed up a lot of chances and were brittle at the back so yes it’s similar.

It wasn’t close enough to the ball to do that

 

[ccfc92]

We're great getting to the edge of their box, but the shots are dog shit.

It's okay though, can smash them in during the pre match warm up

Yep just require someone’s shooting boots

sorry if it’s the other way round you would be screaming for it. Very few players even protested

 

[TomRad85]

I'm amazed he didn't go with a back 4 with what was available.

Yes it was. Another stride and he’d have controlled it. He was I possession.

 

[robbiekeane]

well it is is I’m at the game

And I’m watching it what’s your point….
