When our third went in, Swansea's body language was about as beaten as you could possibly imagine.

Letting them back in is a crime to be honest. Robins has to own that, and the players need to have a word with themselves. Real lack of mental strength.

Not sure we need to be booing, fucked it up obviously and it’s robins fault not the players

 

[wingy]

Utterly bizarre .
Interesting interview?

 

[covcity4life]

The crowd certainly did!!!!!!!!
And you lot in here

Clearly didn't lose heads when everything people said happenesd

Stop trolling Pete.

 

[skyblueinBaku]

Good lesson for our young players today. Hope they learn from it.

I think it was also a lesson for our manager.

Will just say players need to learn from this. Sat back without knowing it etc

World beaters first 60 minutes, carpet beaters last 30 mins. At 3-0 down Swansea brought on an extra centreback and went 3 at the back, pushed their wingbacks high, pressed out centrebacks and we had no answer for it. Gyokeres was isolated and outnumbered, we thought the game was and pur intensity dropped and everyone dropped off, particular Hamer who just kept giving the ball away for 20 mins. Robins just didn't react and when we needed to inject some pace into the team (thought and application) to get the ball moving and improve us in possessjon he brings Kelly on.

3 nil up and we fucked it up.

I really hope they learn from it.

We missed Fadz today and Wilsojs distribution is awful. Now the cleansheets have dried up its time for Moore to come back in.

This was always coming with MR's game management or lack of timely subs

 

[Matt smith]

Robins the ‘god’

yeah course you’re in game subs are SHITE

 

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

Robins game management exposed again. Sat back too early. Kelly sub was horredous.

Kelly done at this level, even in his prime he was league One level. Hope robins realises this quickly

As good as Doyle was in the first half he was bad in the second. The celebrations about the defence were a bit premature. Need that Fadz experience. Another cb in January hopefully too.

 

[Paxman II]

At half time i was going to post the word "worried".

But we went 3-0 up

Turns out my original thought was right.

O'Hare Hardly in the game today. Substitutions far too late and we did not respond to their changes.
swansea deserved it.
No excuse for throwing a 3 goal lead away. Why did we sit back and think all we had to do was defend the game out?
Robins will tell us they are a good side. We cracked under pressure is what happened. Faz missed again at the back.
Oh so disappointing. Another tough one in the week.

Not sure I agree on the Wilson point. His distribution dropped off in the 2nd half but didn't think any of the goals were his fault.

A defeat to a shite Reading and this collapse. Its like we're back at the start of the season again.

Good job we had a 3 goal headstart as those changes would have been made anyway and we'd have ended up getting hammered.

 

[Tommo1993]

Totally inconceivable to not win that when the third went in. Pathetic. Absolute disgrace to literally just switch off after scoring the third.

WBA will make it 5 wins on the trot on Wednesday.

Look like the time off didn't do us good after all , plus we've lost our best centre half in the process

 

[covcity4life]

We have thrown away so many points this season. It really could cost us a shit at the prem. Such a shame

Guarenteed loss Wednesday

 

[clint van damme]

That's hard to take, hurt more than last weeks defeat.

 

[Paxman II]

Awful game management there I rarely think Robins gets it totally wrong but that was shocking. Really needed to bring on some attacking players to pen them back rather than two defensive substitutes. Kane is always the wrong substitute and it's fine to bring on Kelly but Allen is out on his feet and expected to be the link up player after bringing off O'hare. Palmer needed to come on for Allen as a minimum and I'd have brought Dabo over Kane.

Exactly what I thought, and was surprised he did not do that.

The World Cup break has done exactly what some here feared.

 

[shmmeee]

What the fuck was that?

Taking O’Hare off and leaving Allen on when we were sitting back just added fuel to the fire. And not to rectify it when the third went in. Unacceptable. Worst half hour of football I can remember under Robins. Just lackadaisical and timid.

Not fucking happy. And Jamie Allen as captain is a fucking joke. Not sure he even touched the ball after his goal. Just a waste of space but because he hit a lucky goal he’s going to be Fucking untouchable. If I was Waghorn or Palmer I’d be crying into my mulled wine tonight.

 

[fernandopartridge]

Not sure I agree on the Wilson point. His distribution dropped off in the 2nd half but didn't think any of the goals were his fault.

One of them came from him choosing a difficult ball to Panzo that put him under pressure

 

[SBT]

Robins really blew that one. Burroughs was being targeted throughout the second half, it was brutal. I can only assume Dabo isn’t fit because Kane was shocking as a replacement once again. Panzo looked worse and worse as the game went on too.

 

[Sky_Blue_Dreamer]

And that is why you don't set up to defend.

Especially against a team you're conceded a lot of possession to and hitting on the break. Sitting back and not getting the wingbacks forwards just gives them confidence to get forward more without fear of being hit on the break and make the most of their possession.

Also showed how wasteful we were. Had a ton of chances first half and scored one. They managed to score three in 20minutes when we take our foot off the gas.

And once again MR's poor in-game management comes to the fore. Swansea need to score three to get back in so have to push forward and leave gaps behind. Do we bring on a quick striker to exploit those gaps or a technically gifted player to exploit them on the break? No, we bring on an ageing midfielder coming back from an injury who's not played all season and who, despite his experience, increasingly looks like he struggles to compete at this level.

To the point where we scored three goals I was very happy. After it I'm absolutely fucking livid. It feels like a loss.

 

[fernandopartridge]

Kelly by the way looked miles away when he came on

 

[stupot07]

I dont think he was personally at fault for any goals, but his distribution contributed to the ball keep coming back at us. His distribution has always been an issue, but the cleansheets has meant he couldn't be dropped.

100% on Mark Robins. Swansea had 72% possession first half and probably more of the same second half. We've spent the entire game running running running, whilst they made the ball do the work. Now at 3-0 up, even Clive said it, the threat was growing and im screaming at MR (on the screen!) to do something, we were absolute shagged after running around for 71 mins.

Still nothing, 3-1, still nothing, 3-2, still nothing. Anyone with an ounce of intelligence knows if you spent 71 mins running after the ball, you're gonna be fucked. Not our Mark though!

Everyone knows Robins flaw is game management and lack of subs, and so many times we've got away with it, well today we didnt. I'll say it again, we were out on our feet and he stood and watched. Absolutely pathetic

 

[Evo1883]

On another note , for whatever reason we've fell off today.. but I enjoyed alot of the football played , ofcourse the manager and players have fucked up last half hour , dissapointing but not sure the boos are warranted

It's football and it happens , ask Luton

 

[Tommo1993]

Also think despite his goal, Gyokeres had one of his poorer games

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Just baffling to bring him on at that point in the game.
