Not long to go until we get to hear Robins say that it takes time...

[Nick]

I feel pretty much the same after this game as the Bristol one. This team will come good, and the players who are going to get slaughtered on here tonight will prove people wrong.

Really frustrating at the moment though.

When's this happening then?

 

[Londonccfcfan]

Thomas all day for me in this team starts. No nonsense defender we need to start from the back. Gifting pathetic soft goals is a joke

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Robins has set an alarm off at the ground in order to avoid giving an interview

 

[CovLad94]

So


Wright did far more in 20 mins than Godden in 75.

Not hard tbf

 

[skyblu3sk]

Over the 90 minutes we got what we deserved.
We had plenty of possession in the first half, but lacked creativity and had nothing up front.
It was the same story against Bristol City which shows that we are lacking a cutting edge.

Over the match we had 66% position and as good chances as them. Our corners were dire mind.

 

[AOM]

Sounds like the tripods from War of the Worlds on CWR

 

[fatso]

Eccles needs resting as does Ayari. Start wright over Godden and let's go again.

I'd leave Wright out of the squad altogether, he's non league standard at best.
We could do worse than give one of the young strikers a run out.

 

[lord_garrincha]

Fuck me... Robins set off the fire alarm!

 

[Sick Boy]

Not sure where we go from here. Would be very happy with 14th at the moment.

 

[Mild-Mannered Janitor]

Grow up.

You’re right, he didn't take them all. They are not all bad but its not clear to the players running in where it’s going, first one tonight cleared every player in the box, one of the late ones at 1-0 hit the first defender, that’s the facts, nothing more than that

 

[shmmeee]

Really don't know where to start. Unfortunately it was wholly predictable. The formation is awful and reminds me of the season we first went up but with worse players. Absolutely nothing going forward. I was pleased when we signed Simms but he looks every bit as shit as Wright. I would freeze them both out for a few games. Back to the box with Godden up front.

Godden has been the worst of the three for a few games now.

 

[Johhny Blue]

Getting done 2-0 by a Rotherham team with numerous defensive injuries , fucking joke

The 31 corners count is ridiculous , it’s not that we haven’t scored , it’s the fact I can’t remember any of them going to one of our players.

Sure I’ll be ok in the morning but atm , fed up and pissed off with it all atm

99% of the short ones went to our players

 

[stevefloyd]

Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh frustrating as fuck didn't deserve to lose that one could easily have won but just not converting chances. We had this last season and can turn it around again.

Last season we had a striker and midfielder that could score goals !

 

[skyblu3sk]

I'd leave Wright out of the squad altogether, he's non league standard at best.

He's scored goals before he isn't an unknown.

What soft goals?

 

[Deleted member 9744]

Eccles is awful at taking corners though, there’s no excuse for it

The corners are not the reason we are losing matches and we just don't need that sort of abuse at young players,

 

[Dickie]

Seems like a big mistake not to sign Styles from Barnsley. Really need energy in midfield…

Wow what nonsense

Would take 21st

 

[Wyken Sky Blue]

So

I'm preempting/mocking Robins response in the post match interview

No defending that shite tonight, be interesting to hear what Robins thinks

[shmmeee]

Eccles wasn’t close to the worst player there today BTW.

 

[CCFCSteve]

31 corners in 2 away games.

How many beat first man ?

Why always outswingers, surely we’ve got a left footer who can take some

 

[hill83]

What soft goals?

Generic near post corner unmarked for starters

 

[napolimp]

When's Allen back? Wouldn't mind seeing a box midfield of Sheaf, Allen, O'hare, Saka, with Wright or Simms up top. Unfortunately, Godden has lost his right to be picked unconditionally each game.

 

[fatso]

Over the match we had 66% position and as good chances as them. Our corners were dire mind.

Possession doesn't win matches.
It's goals that count, and we are woeful upfront. Owngoals is our second highest scorer.

 

[Paul Anthony]

We've got Ben Wilson to thank to save us from getting an absolute tanking from Rotherham. Fucking Rotherham.

We've got nothing up front to worry anyone at this level. Our defence looks leaky at the minute. We've got Eccles taking corners, surely we've got someone who can do better in there, because it's not working. Our playing style has become bland, turgid. Boring.

We could have played that game until Christmas, and apart from those couple of chances early on we didn't look like scoring.

Somehow we're still closer to the play offs than the bottom three, but if we keep this up that's not going to last very long. Something has got to give.

No doubt we'll get the usual post match soundbites now, but I really hope someone is telling them some home truths after this behind the scenes, because that was nowhere near good enough and it needs sorting out.

 

[Briles]

Robins said in his last post match that "they're really good players"

So the reason we are shite is....

Sorry, started a clever reply then didn’t finish it then replied to someone else. But was basically along the lines of: just cos it’s a work in progress doesn’t mean any progress is being made.

 

[fernandopartridge]

Godden has been the worst of the three for a few games now.

He looked incredibly slow tonight

He's fucking embarrassing.

 

[Flying Fokker]

Where’s Greggs. So much for his optimism.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Of those who started only Wilson can be pleased with his performance

 

[Calista]

When's this happening then?

Sadly I can't tell you that Nick

 

[HuckerbyDublinWhelan]

He’s the only one with goals Simms and Wright look like they’re scared of the fucking goal posts
