Need a win on Saturday now.

Even a draw won’t do. 2 points from these three games would be an incredibly poor result. 4 from 3 you take and move on.

Everything riding on Saturday or it looks like we’re in a rut.

Dropping away a bit now. Been a good start to the season, but think we'll be nowhere near come the end of the season.

4th mark

 

[Cavan O'Doherty]

One of the worst second half performances I can remember. Arrogantly thought we could defend a 0-1 lead for 45 mins, our defence is not good enough for that. We got exactly what we deserved, totally pathetic away from home.

 

[Roulette]

Oh fuck off.

You fuck off. You’re biggest c**t on here

 

[Deleted member 9744]

JCS. Rose has been ok but Clarke-Salter is a cut above.

Certainly wasn't at Luton

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Gyokeres didn’t look right to me, being taken off when we needed a goal says it all.

 

[clint van damme]

Why take Vik n OHare off? Crazy to me

Vik didn't look right.
O'Hare was baffling

 

[cc84cov]

Why did robins persist with 2 up front ? Was clear a siege was Coming a midfielder was needed to break play up sheaf for me was the move 451

What a load of bollocks

Nearly half way to safety though.

Which is all that matters, we were never going to end up in the top six but this amazing start (bar this and the Luton game) have given us such a good base to be in this league next season which is the only target and hopefully nights like tonight will be good in the long run for experience

I’m a fan of Allen but can’t recall a positive contribution

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Possibly the most annoying defeat of the season

That remains Barnsley but this is close

Didn’t you call Sheaf shite last game?

 

[Tommo1993]

Dabo, Maatsen, Kelly are 3 I’d drop for Saturday. Trouble is we can’t drop both full backs. Kane in for Dabo then.

 

[steve101]

Dreadful second half after a so so first. Such a lack of movement and creativity. Gyokeres looked a yard off the pace from the off so can only think he was carrying that knock. Subs really ineffective. Such a let down. I feel we drop the same intensity when we are away to middle of the road teams.

 

[ccfc92]

The second half was beyond pathetic.

Disgusting 2nd half performance, had our goal so should have protected Gyk for Waghorn on to support Walker.

I thought maybe Sheaf on for Kelly too at HT, as he wasn't at the races today, but then Hamer was anonymous 2nd half too.

 

[Terry_dactyl]

I don’t know why we don’t just go for it away from home. It seems to be the only way we know how to play.
Very poor 2nd half.

The same Sheaf you call a liability any chance you get? Wind it in

Lost all our creativity without O'Hare.

Nah, he has a point. We need to win Saturday.

Was all 1 way traffic bro he was needed today to get hold of it why did he carry on with 2 ?

 

[Liquid Gold]

Jcs or rose Saturday?

JCS

Rose has been good defensively but we need that left footed balance to help us going forward. Maatsen will look a lot better with JCS next to him.

I thought Maatsen did okay today, Dabo seemed slow but he has done for a few games defensively.

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

Thanks for that, I needed a laugh after that second half performance

Aren’t you one of this cry babies that pisses their pants when people aren’t being positive enough and now you’re laughing at the suggestion that the team currently 4th in the league have a chance at top 6?

 

[skyblue025]

Garbage second half. Midfield was non existent. Preston a very workman like team out fought us. Very disappointing. Will we ever win at Deepdale?

 

[mark82]

17th

Nah, we'll be above that I reckon. Comfortable mid table at least I hope. To make the playoffs think we need to be at least mid-table in away form. Currently we're 20th.

I think McFadzean could do with a rest so for me Hyam, Rose and Clarke-Salter

Only had 10 mins tbf mate.

Clive who else to break play ? Allen ? You know what I’m saying we went too long with 2 up front

 

[clint van damme]

In the last 4 away games I'd say first half tonight, 2nd half Saturday and first half Millwall have been the only decent halves we've played

 

[Skybluefaz]

Certainly wasn't at Luton

I didn't watch it so I'll take your word on that.

JCS, Rose did nothing wrong, but you can see the imbalance of having a right footer on the left side, especially that last 20 minutes, Rose was having to cut back in every time t cross the ball.

Maatsen was utterly useless all game, don’t think he tried to beat his man once. Definitely a position that needs addressing either in January or at the end of the season.

 

[no_loyalty]

We are still 4th, get the win on Saturday and looks good again.
