[Brighton Sky Blue]

His distribution was good, but that one you're referring to was a total hoof and I'm not sure he was actually attempting to pick Godden out

I’ll credit him with it for now

[SkyblueDad]

If we keep playing like that it just needs the strikers to be on form. And for us to shoot when the shot is begging to be taken on

Lack of shots has been a beef of mine all season I’m going to change now to hitting the target it’s bloody big enough.

 

[Grendel]

Because Allen and O'Hare offered very little and Palmer would benefit from having three forwards in front of him, something he's never had here before.

Jake Bidwell was superb today wasn’t he?

Sheaf late on dallied on it far too long and we got countered. Just baffles me to be honest

 

[PVA]

I don't think anybody was poor enough to berate today .. I was very impressed with Eccles, but Sheaf frustrates me , he does so much right and the things that should be easy he gets wrong and often in bad places

Seems to really struggle on the edge of the box, can't get a shot away and it's poor when he does, and can't seem to pick that final ball.

Everything up to that point is brilliant though!

Don’t know why PVA is laughing - still he thinks Wright was as good as Bidwell today

 

[SBT]

Was bored as hell come HT and thought it would be a game for Sakamoto to liven things up - how wrong I was, he looked like he was on a different planet when he came on.

I agree , I was calling for subs but turns out we'd have probably been better carrying on as we were

Yes

 

[Saddlebrains]

We're actually tragic

No creative spark

On the rare occasion a chance comes we cant finish it

Everyones getting a semi we kept a clean sheet v Stoke. Come on lads face it, we fucked the window completely, Robins hasnt got a clue how to get a tune out of any of them and i really think we are in the shit unless we find the next Gus and Vik in January by sheer luck

 

[David O'Day]

Bidwell was very good today

Well yes it is rubbish but it is what it is now. First things first when you aren't very good is to tighten up, at least we did that. Desperately need investment in midfield in Jan but as I've said I'm not sure I'd trust Robins with it atm. Tough one.

You truly are the most clueless bloke on here to ever get entrusted with insider knowledge, that’s the really tragic thing here

 

[mmttww]

Stopped the rot and work from here

Nailed it right here. Work on stuff for a week, find a way of playing that formation with someone creating from the midfield three. I'd want MVE at RB eventually but he's got to earn that.

pretty much, a draw is an ok result after 4 defeats and the defence look much stronger

Up until today yes I’d have agreed, but I can’t believe we watched the same game to be honest.

 

[OldBedrocker]

Hugely disappointing not to get the win, would have been a massive boost.

Have to try and take the positives and say we should have won that game, we carried a threat going forward and didn't look particularly troubled at the back

Agree we were solid at the back but we were never a threat going forward

Sorry yea il toe the line, we're actually world class, our ability to gain 1 point from footballing powerhouses such as Bristol City, Rotherham, Albion, Preston, Stoke, should be lauded. Spending 20 million quid to win 3 in 16 and still not know what our best side is approaching December is unrivalled, Im sure the rest of the footballing world is crying into their horlicks with jealousy

[OldBedrocker]

I'll take that, a rare clean sheet and stopped the rot. Played well second half albeit dropping off a bit at the end.

Some really good individual performances, Godden played well, Kitchen, Eccles, Sheaf in particular. Collins was solid and brilliant distribution, and was tidy. Bidwell was immense MOTM.

Godden was awful!!

If you think that side is getting relegated unless we sign the division’s best striker and best midfielder in January then you must think the sky’s falling in every time your Nokia phone alarm goes off.

No-one is happy with the current league position or some of the big signings, but Robins is changing it and the early signs are encouraging - the histrionics are ridiculous.

Your tumble dryer will be taking a hammering again tomorrow all this bedwetting
Genuinely never read or met such a negative person before. I am of the opinion if we were to win a game you would cry yourself to sleep at having to be positive

I agree, we created a lot of chances today, just the finishing or final ball just wasn't quite there.

[Macca]

It felt better today but we have to pray these strikers have something we haven’t seen yet

 

[Tile Hill Phil]

I’m afraid I don’t believe any of the 3 strikers today are the answer so we have a big problem. Good signs in other areas and think god Bidwell is back

Thats what I’m thinking. Can Robins improve them or have we had our pants pulled down. Perhaps we’ve been spoilt with Vic last season

Glad you're glass half full.

A draw at home against a Stoke side who didn't fancy it today, after 4 losses worries me.

I'll get slated like everyone who is perceived negative on here but after the international break, our next two months looks like this:

Millwall (a)
Plymouth at (h)
Ipswich (a)
Birmingham (h)
Southampton (h)
Leeds (a)
Sunderland (a)
Wednesday (h)
Swansea (h)
Middlesbrough (a)
Leicester (h)

That's probably the most difficult run of games we've had on paper since 2001. Even the winnable games against Birmingham, Swansea, Wednesday and Plymouth are eggshells. Sides we've either struggled against previously or teams who will fight for their lives. Birmingham will be well up for it after last season's mockery too.

There were a couple of positives today, but there were also positives in the previous 4 and we've picked up 1 point.

It's clearly a very, very difficult run of games. Surely you can see that?

It is but since 2001? Pretty sure in the league one promotion season we played Sunderland, Rotherham and Ipswich all at once, in the grand scheme of things that was much tougher

I'm not sure it matters when we had a run that difficult. The point is, clearly, that our run of games coming up is very challenging.

My glass is we didn't lose, still room to get much better.

Sorry for being glad we didn't lose for the 5th time in a row
