He certainly tired it’s why I’d have made the change earlier for him but don’t know who Waghorn could have come on for

Kane on at all was strange

Jamie Allen. He’s a complete waste of a player. Never gets near the ball it’s like watching a school boy dropped into a men’s game.

There's a difference in trusting the team who are level to go and win it, to a team who are absolutely shattered and losing grip on a victory. make the changes, even just to break up the game. Do something! it was obvious from 3-1 what was happening in front of our eyes

He got it hopelessly wrong today but there have been plenty of games when Robins has tweaked things so we come out with a win - too many games to count last season. I really don’t see it as one of his main weaknesses, even after today.

 

[clint van damme]

Sorry, I forgot that people aren’t allowed to be annoyed after throwing away a 3-0 lead.

Happy clapping twat.

I'm annoyed, buy you only pipe up when things are going wrong, you love it you fucking dick

60 minutes was when they made there changes. We were great for 55 minutes. Unfortunately football is played over 90, and those 35 are up there with the worst we have had all season.

Fans don't see the good tweaks , or the changes made to see games out , just the games where its not gone well

 

[Grendel]

Whenever it goes wrong the times I’ve heard people in here say we always concede at the end and invite teams on.
Well the evidence says that’s bollox!
We play to the end and rarely concede milwall and Swansea aside

bringing Kelly on for our attacking midfielder was bonkers. He looked jaded after 5 minutes. It was waving a white flag

A few have criticised the crowd for being silent - compare the body language of our manager to theirs after that second goal.

 

[shmmeee]

Yep I think Hamer tired and that was the change needed Kelly for Hamer I think after the first.
Needed panzo and Bidwell and Wilson ordering everyone around. There was no leader and you hope that someone from Doyle and panzo would step up. Interesting to me watching that. They needed to calm down and not panic which is counter intuitive

Exactly that there was just no leadership. As I said you can’t have Wilson and no Fadz there’s just no one organising the defence. At one point Kane was looking at Wilson for direction at a set piece and gave up cos Wilson was saying nothing.

Robins is magnificent he has his faults of course but he’s magnificent

'It happens week in week out'. Don't think teams shit the bed 3-0 up every week

Am I hearing tiredness after a month off?
ffs.

Crazy substitution.

Swansea have done it twice already this season

Yeah, fucking loving it right now. Love sitting in the cold watching that pathetic display. Defo what I’m paying my season ticket money for. Stupid fucking prick.

Kane on at all was strange

Borroughs was being targeted and torn apart in the second half

Definitely 30, I said to my lad that hamer had a shocking 15 minutes and the clock was at 72 mins at that point.

Even Oggy and Clive agree it was the worst 30 minutes if this season. And they usually fence sit.

It is, you only pipe up negative shit, you're a fucking clown.

 

[shmmeee]

The thing is, we are good. That's the issue. It's the fine margins we struggle with.

When we’re on it we’re one of the best teams in the division but we just can’t afford to drop our standards at all.

 

[SBT]

God knows what we were doing on that trip to Spain - we look knackered.

 

[Matt smith]

Robins is our king!
Their manager isn’t fit to tie robins boots - think again mate

Yeah yeah yeah

bottled it today

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

You wouldn’t know what I post as the only times you ever post in the football threads in to have a cry about other people’s posts. Fuck off back of the off-topic forum

 

[Legia Sky Blue]

Oggy called it right in the commentary. After we scored our 3rd our wing backs stopped going forward and we retreated into a back 5, defending too deep and inviting pressure. Gyokeres was then completely isolated also, whereas prior to that Burroughs in particular was breaking into advanced positions. What we don't know if this was under MR's instruction or not. If we had Fadz playing to lead the defence it might have been a legitimate tactic, but without him it felt like there was an inevitability about the outcome. Feels like a defeat of course right now, but we need to somehow put it behind us quickly and learn from it. Yes, the final 30 minutes of the game were something of a nightmare, but the first 60 held lots of positives, and its up to MR to emphasise that is what we need if we want a decent result against West Brom.

 

[fernandopartridge]

Gotta say, I’d have brought Kelly on earlier. It’s clear our entire midfield were crocked way before he came on.

I would have brought on another forward, Kelly was not helpful, Waghorn would have been a better option imo. We dropped deeper and deeper.

You just post negative shit, look at your own posts you clown.
Your assessment of my posts is also wrong you dim c**t.
Don't agree with pretty much everything Shmmeee has posted since final whistle but I know he'll also be positive when things are going well, you'll crawl back under your rock.

 

[Matt smith]

I’ll be positive when we’re doing well

you have to blame MR today

sat back and got punished

west brom won four in a row

Praised the team after QPR and Wigan, gave them all good ratings and said we were looking good for a positive season at that point. Even the densest of cunts should be able to find that but clearly you’re a level below that.

 

[Otis]

But he won't learn it.

He never does. We've always said that an area he's poor in is in game changes and substitutions.

This isn't the first time it's bitten us on the arse and it won't be the last.

*Just to point out I'm not making some sort of case for MR to go. I still think he's one of our best ever managers, but he has weaknesses. And right now I'm fucking fuming.

If he didn't have weaknesses he wouldn't be our manager

 

[Grendel]

Yep needed kelly on earlier

Are you joking? He was useless

You're the most negative c**t on this site and the biggest bed wetter.

That's the same kind of loser mentality that our players had today I'm afraid.

Maybe. But you’ve got the likes of COH who went AWOL, a tragically wasteful Sheaf and a burnt out Hamer. If the idea was for Kelly to dry things up and add some composure and experience, then I get that sub. What I don’t get is waiting until it’s 3-2 and momentum is already overwhelmingly against you. Agree with sub, disagree with timing. Sorry to upset the flowers on here (not you)

 

[David O'Day]

Well that's ruined a perfectly good weekend

Agree with this should have been done at 3-0

Don't agree mate, Kelly on was baffling.

Jamie Allen. He’s a complete waste of a player. Never gets near the ball it’s like watching a school boy dropped into a men’s game.

Fucking hell. Goal, tremendous first touch cushioned pass in lead up to goal, tremendous cross that O'Hare should have buried...

He was great today until the team as a whole fell apart!

Upset the flowers? He's clearly not up to it at this level, especially as we're supposed to be a top-half team these days.
