Anything less than play offs is under achieving

Not according to the bookies. Top 6 odds -

So Robins said that Bobby Thomas is injured and the interviewer didn't ask any more info on the injury?

And?

 

[skyblu3sk]

Besides comments about how long Robins has, I'm not sure people are overreacting. You're allowed to think this is a very poor result and pick it apart.

Nothing wrong with that but catastrophising the whole season over the first few games is a joke.

 

[Ashdown]

Robins is the rock and he will get things sorted, that I’m confident but ……this time we’ve actually spent a lot of money and that brings extra pressures.
Not going to lie, we couldn’t stop his departure but VIK was a gem at this level and was suited to the task…..his replacements may see us as a sideways come backwards step and won’t have the same hunger. Hope I’m wrong

How do you bloody know about their hunger

 

[Evo1883]

And?

It would only be a failure to certain supporters then , basically .. we'd all like to finish in the playoffs ofcourse and hopefully we will

 

[covmark]

It is anything less is a decline

This is correct. We've spent decent money, and although we've sold Gyokeres, we've spent a fortune to replace him. Less than Playoffs is a poor season.
However people losing their shit over the first 2 games is a big overreaction.

Great, setting your standards high for once so you can start shouting Robins out at the first available opportunity.

What's happened to you parks , that time in the basement did you the world of good

 

[fernandopartridge]

I think we've got an issue with fitness due the poor preparation this summer, e.g. the Portuguese tour with no friendlies and the lateness of some of the signings. Two games lost in the last 15 minutes after being in control.

Think I’ve reached enlightenment and infinite wisdom at the grand old age of mid twenties

The standards have been set by the amount spent and the comments by the owner

Is hoping to get to the playoffs 3 in 5 years

Every other club he has managed disagrees.

 

[Ashdown]

I don’t it’s just conjecture like most of the shit on here but VIK was on on the up and needed to prove himself …..and did, these guys have made a big money move sideways

 

[SkyBlueMatt]

It is a really poor result,and given the investment is concerning.
At this point, nothing more than that. No need for over reactions. On Sunday we lost to the favourites for promotion and gave them work for their points.
Tonight is far more problematic and the lack of goals is not good. That said, win on Saturday and a lot will be forgiven and forgotten. For now, it will take time for Simms to adapt to being the main man, he is only 22, and Wright was spent most of last week travelling and sitting around Ryton.

F*ck that....... Booooooooo

Keep making chances and goals will come you would have to believe.

Frustrating to lose but if we have high xG every game we should be in for a good season

As I said the other day one week point we had the last few seasons was we didn’t create big chances. We’re now creating big chances, it bodes well as you say.

Frustrating not to win tonight though.

Simms is 22 , vik is 25 both were at prem clubs

Disgraceful. Reckon there will be any teams in the PL using this excuse? Unfit players....just lame excuses.

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Anyone got Robins comments after the game?

He sets the bar high so that when we don’t hit it, he can say “told you so about Robins”… he’s been doing it for years and every time Robins smashes it just take what he says with the pinch of salt he unintentionally puts on.

 

[djr8369]

The only way we’ll ever make Round 2 of this competition is by being promoted!

We do like to do things the hard way!

 

[Perryccfc]

Hold on, is there actual questioning of Robins currently happening?

I saw HuckerbyDublinWhelan asking a question about the strikers which I assumed was a joke, but reading his further posts it obvious it wasn’t.

Im honestly at a loss for words.

We just have to take our chances. What finishing was on display tonight was even worse than Sunday.

Creating plenty though.

Because they wanted instant success at this level that generally never happens.
Good job we held on.

New strikers. Give them time to find their groove. Would be nice to get a goal from open play Saturday tho

What is Kenny Jackett up to?

Yep I think the excitement over various foreign signings masked the fact that we had a very lacklustre pre-season, to the extent that even the players were starting to question why the squad was so thin.

 

[Martin180]

Catastrophising is a great word

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Of course we could have drawn Chelsea, really glad to give someone else the opportunity

 

[Ashdown]

We will bounce back I’m sure but we’re only playing for three trophies and yet again we’ve blown one in the second game of the season , that was fucking bullshit, again.
Onwards and Upwards !

[SeaSeeEffCee]

Would have got Chelsea away if we weren’t total bottlejobs.
