Is Burroughs injured?

Experiment isn’t working, we don’t have enough footballers in the team.

Sheaf needs to come on and either revert to the box or accept we lose Allen’s energy but can play the ball around more.

I think he can offer something, but today Waghorn is a waste of a shirt. So again, either revert to the box or go for the wild card and give Taveres a go. There is space behind so it’s a game for it.

Offensively our right side offers absolutely nothing as it is.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Fans fault?

Maybe if fans can see things miles off then robins should.

Robins wants them to believe in themselves! They need to be more confident not less. Their problem is no option but Hamer

 

[stupot07]

We had the same issue. Well for us anyway, he doesn’t suit our game. Pearson likes runners, high press etc

There is a player there though

That's how we usually play, which is why signing him was bewildering.

Pretty simple for me. Kane, Waghorn and Palmer faded very fast in that half which exposed the weaknesses in others like Allen. Again comes back to why Kane and Waghorn have been barely used and why Palmer still can't put 2x 90 minutes in a week together.

Don’t think they’ve faded so much as been nullified by having to defend due to how poor Wilson Doyle and Panzo have been.

 

[Seymour_East]

Kane has to come off surely. Offers nothing we might aswell play with 10

Kane, Allen, Waghorn...except for first 10 Palmer too... Doyle, Panzo...Wilson...how many subs are we allowed?

 

[stay_up_skyblues]

Last 20/25 minutes Doyle and Panzo have been dire. Error after error. They’re not letting us play it around at the back so just get rid.

It’s not an experiment it’s the last remnants of a barebones squad. Missing McF, Sheaf and O’Hare is too much for this side

 

[shmmeee]

Palmer really is a luxury player - not convinced with the signing at all, especially with his reported wages.

He’s done more defensive work than Allen despite one playing in the hole and the other supposedly playing DM

If you mean the ability to amble back and lose his man then yep.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

He looked ok when we had possession but since we scored we haven’t had any and everyone looks poor. Foolish to pin the blame on him

No blame on him he’s just pointless

 

[Grendel]

Poor half. I've already said it but you can't play 2 up top and Palmer. You basically give the whole of the midfield to the opposition.

Everyone has been under par, but Wilson, Allen, Doyle and Panzo in particular have been really poor.

Bar a few step overs in the first 15 mins Palmer has been anonymous.

Criticising palmer is blasphemy - in surprised he started I thought he’d be on for the last 30 - he’s got a lot of skill but he’s literally hopeless when the opposition are going forward

Imagine if Hamer wasn’t playing today - we’d have been battered out of sight

 

[Paxman II]

Surely Sheaf comes on to keep hold of the ball?

 

[Grendel]

New year ramble - he’s the new Jose Perdomo

 

[Nick]

No changes

He’s starting because we have no alternative

 

[The Philosopher]

No changes?

For the love of God Robins. What you doing?

Who is he meant to put on? A crocked Sheaf?

 

[Nick]

Yes we do?

 

[PVA]

The goal was Allen's fault though, far too weak in the tackle.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Yes we do?

What is it?

 

[Nick]

Is he crocked?

Doesn't stop him playing a crocked dabo.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Doesn't stop him playing a crocked dabo.

Considering Sheaf starts pretty much every game he must be unfit

 

[Macca]

How do you not change something that is going so badly?

 

[Nick]

Kane did well to clear then

 

[Nick]

Considering Sheaf starts pretty much every game he must be unfit

Or he didn't want to drop Allen.

 

[glasgowfan]

Give them a rollicking and 10 minutes to put it right?

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Or he didn't want to drop Allen.

He wouldn’t have started Waghorn as well.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

SHOOOOOOOOT

 

[Grendel]

Hamer has had a really good game so far

 

[Nick]

Good play from Palmer. Waghorn should have done better.

 

[Liquid Gold]

How the fuck was Waghorn ever a multi million £ striker

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Any sign of Big Doug?

 

[The Philosopher]

Any sign of Big Doug?

Is he on the bench? Get him on for Waghorn

 

[Deleted member 5849]

Never thought I'd find myself saying this, but if we don't score is time for Tavares last half hour.

My word.
