Robins would have been better to have had a shit start to the season as it raised everyone’s expectations too high. Most fans on here thought we’d not improved the squad after last year and would be in a relegation battle!

Well we’re not and we’re still moving forward

Too much beer and not enough lemonade m8?

It’s partly the way of things and partly frustration. At the beginning of the season I think we all would’ve been happy being 6 points off the playoffs at this point in the season. Especially knowing most of the remaining games are against the teams above us.

The frustration doesn’t solely reside in the fickle, it’s also because it’s hard to see us get so close to being a force in the division but shoot ourselves in the foot with some poor performances. It’s hard to review the season when you’re to busy being pissed and off and scratching your head after those games.

As I’ve got older I’ve not lost an ounce of passion (I fucking punched the air and ran around like an arsehole when we equalized) but I have mellowed the lows.

We will struggle next year, our form has been bottom third for 5 months.

Where did you think we’d finish start of the season?

Let's see what happens in the summer, you're to much a pessimist.

Bit of nonsense and goading behind the police on the car park as per, city fans then ushered under the subway to opposite side of a444. Just a bit of goading and missile throwing then it appeared a lone city fan was being given a hiding and it went off. A load of cov ran across the road, some proper near misses. There was a good 5 mins of both sets of fans having a right go at each other. Police lost control completely.

It’s what happens when each set of fans is obviously separated and not mingles together.

 

[Gynnsthetonic]

24 games in 5 months since the beginning of November

7 wins
7 draws
10 defeats
PPG 1.16
Extrapolated points over a season 54, worse than last season

The season doesn't start in November though, so it's all bollocks

 

[pw362]

As season is 46 games, perfect sample

Ok. Last 46 games.69 points

People placed way too much emphasis on 9 good games at the start of the season and seemed to forget we had another 37 ..

 

[Razzle Dazzle Dean Gordon]

What a frustrating game, felt like we should have been out of sight in the first half and could the inevitable bullshitfest coming a mile off. The level of shithouse cheating from Blackburn was incredible, as was the fighting along the 444 and by the subway. Feels like both are growing in regularity at present!

Justice at the end. We seem to have scored so many this season in time added on to added time due to the oppo’s time wasting you’d think they’d learn. The worst I’ve ever seen today and don’t remember Mowbray being that way with us. Anti football shite.

Their fans were shite, didn’t hear a peep until they scored and collectively boo’d their 5th placed side off at HT.

Thought we had some good performances over the whole game. Dabs seems to have been slaughtered a bit on here in game but I thought he did well. Could easily have had four assists today.

Thought Maatsen battled well too and did some good things. Bidwell looked decent at CB.
A bit torn on Allen, everywhere first half but lost second and Sheaf pips him for me.

A few bits of class from Gus both defensively and offensively and unlucky with his curler off the post.

Gyo remains our most valuable player, gets stronger and stronger. Can see him leading the line for a Burnley type in the not too distant future.

Callum poor by his standards.

On chances we should have won but on overall play a draw was fair.

Always liked Mowbray, felt sorry for him when he left ….but fuck me he’s on the wind up here. At least half of those 6 minutes his players were rolling on the floor pretending to have cramp

What is it with these managers it’s a minimum of six minutes not a maximum, there was still around 1 minute 20 seconds left when he blew the whistle.

Either or both of their centre backs could have been sent off Brereton was lucky with his sarcastic clapping of the ref, with him you could see he wasn’t fully fit and nobody even tried to take him out.

It's a bit of self protection, no point getting your hopes up

His managerial stats are pretty poor but there’s a few weirdos on here who seem to laud Mowbray. Today he was praised for bringing on two very good players when Robins had pretty much fuck all calibre on his bench to work with.

He fucked it really. The tactic to try and waste time and disrupt the game at the end against a team who are specialists in late goals was terrible management. Had he instructed his team to instead park the bus we’d have probably struggled to break them down and the whistle would have gone long before we scored.

 

[torchomatic]

WTF is Mowbray complaining about? If his players hadn't pretended to be injured then they would have won.

I'm a saddo and use the stopwatch on my phone so on I know how much extra time has been played. For the first two mins of the six one of their players was getting treatment for his "injury".

Mowbray needs to tell his players to stop cheating. They would have come away with all three points then.

 

[robbiethemole]

Fuck the dirty northern basterds proper anti football and Mogga is still a fucking dinosaur with those shit tactics. So glad karma bit them on the arse, the footy is like Blackburn dull and boring with showers of shit thrown in. Wtf was that ref about? Premier League my arse got to be one of the worst performances all season, and we’ve had plenty to choose from. Peter Bankes should be taken off the list. A very tense game but fuck me we nearly left on 95 mins so glad we didn’t but me tonsils have taken a right battering today

 

[Grendel]

Robins always talks well. We need a big sale to move forwards

Yeah but after season tickets are sold

I mean what ambition

Possibly a Southampton type ?

Hoped for upper mid 8-10 possibly.

Haha, I did that for the first time today. Stopped it for ‘injuries’. No way had six minutes been used up. As you say tough shit, the cheats !

Exactly right. They didn't need to resort to it either, they played pretty well 2nd half & would probably have seen it out with proper game management - keep possession, hold it in the corners etc.

Seen it after the game on the A444. Couple of Cov lads laid into there spotty skinny kids then a load of Cov ran over from the other side of the a444 and played whack a mole over the barriers when any Blackburn kid popped his head over.

All sad really but after blackburns cheating all game I guess a few were wound up afterwards?

Well, unsurprisingly I got a bit over excited and totally forgot about it when we scored…just checked we’re now 2 hours 47 mins into injury time ! Pretty sure we had a good minute left but then again I was maybe stricter than the ref. Their fans were whistling when there was three mins left !

Many on here and Facebook said wed not improved and felt we’d struggle to stay up

The time we had left was around 80 seconds

I felt playing 4m 50 over the 6 was about right and more than normally happens

 

[Grendel]

the first 6 wins at home have really proved to be not the norm - home record has been dire since

Facebook is a cretins nest!

 

[Otis]

I have said before, there is a very simple solution. Have the scoreboard clock linked to the ref's watch. When the ref presses pause, the scoreboard clock pauses. Anyone then wasting time is just wasting their own time.

All the fans and players and managers would know exactly what the situation is then and exactly how long is left.

 

[Otis]

Is your next post as also going to list the negatives?

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

Thought Bidwell had a fine game today and looked a lot more like I was expecting, brave in the challenge.

Yeah, did well but had to work really hard when competing in ariel challenges. Wouldn't like to see him in the back 3 unless absolutely necessary

Course it’s been tough but anyone can see we’ve improved overall
