Season NOT over, DON'T play the kids?

The first team sort of is the kids in the way that so many of them need to be developed to our style or to the championship.

We’ll be a very good team next year.

Some of you lot are hilarious.

The age of all or nothing.

"Cov are shit. Lats is shit. Kelly is shit. Eccles is league 1. Palmer is useless. Go home Robins. I hate footy"

Pathetic. Larry knows, Watford have come out 200 mph, they're gonna be fucked

@covcity4life knows

Larry David is always right

Did we play well? We should have been 3/4 down at half tike

really don’t care if we grind out a win, that’s what the end of the season is all about. If you’re expecting good performances really don’t think you’re gonna get them. Each game will be scrappy.

I'll happily play shit and win, our strongest players are back now too, just enjoy it, we played a tough side today and won

Every game In this league that’s not Rotherham has the potential to be a banana skin, both Ipswich and Leicester only won 2-1 here.

I’ll take it, you need wins like this to be successful.

 

[Hobo]

It's the result that counts.

What is tough about them? They had won 2 in 11

 

[JulianDarbyFTW]

Hideous performance, great 3 points. A point off 6th after a dodgy few weeks isn't to be sniffed at.

As an aside, I think the performances started going downhill after the Sheffield Wednesday issue. Obviously a very serious incident, and it rightly got press attention, but from a footballing perspective I think it was a distraction from the task at hand.

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

Next week's opponents up to 8th in the top flight, play like we did today and it'll be an absolute twatting

Enjoy today - we could play well v Wolves and lose. At least it's not season over, regardless. The league is still alive, which makes for more excitement between now and the end of the season.

 

[Macca]

Absolute bonus 3 pts today had t counted them in my prediction at all. Keep finding a way. God help our rivals if we start playing well

 

[Danceswithhorses]

Solid win...will take that, especially as other results were kind to us.
Some time in Sheaf's legs is also a bonus.

'kin 'ell, can't you enjoy anything after we've just won, after being a goal down!?

You are probably too young to remember when we used to get hammered in most of our away games.

Not sure about that. Think it was more Sheaf getting injured in the next game.

Did we win? Fuck sake cheer up

 

[Great_Expectations]

Fantastic result. Always pleasing shutting up the bedwetters.

Simms was excellent again.

March is back on.

 

[Ccfcisparks]

I was there when we got battered 4-0 by Walsall at the Bescot

 

[usskyblue]

3 points off 5th, 1 off 6th

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Did we win? Fuck sake cheer up

Can I appreciate 3 points without pointing out the bad performance? We have Leeds and Southampton coming up…

 

[covcity4life]

@covcity4life knows

Larry David is always right

Just read the match thread.

Non stop moaning and cov win with 352 formation.

Same again next week please lads looool

 

[Cavan O'Doherty]

Great result, but I hope this doesn’t blind Robins into thinking 5 at the back is the way to go. This formation doesn’t suit us one bit, but we’ve managed to get away with it because of very poor opposition. When the likes of Leeds, Ipswich, Southampton etc roll into town, I suspect we won’t be as lucky.

 

[Diogenes]

Some absolutely embarrassing over-reactions in the last few pages before Wright scored his second, Robins comes up with the goods yet again.

Not really - fantastic result in the end but the performance was dire for the most part. Continue to play like that and you get found out like we did against Preston Nonce End and WB Albion.

Still see us falling short, BUT the way all the results have been falling for us this last week or two does feel like last season. If anyone can get us over the line it's Robins so who knows.

I think it's just a coincidence to be honest. The form was highly dependent on Saka.

Had a very bad run but before that stuffed Preston 5-1 away, beat hull 2-1 away and Norwich at home. Good result away from home

 

[Bugsy]

Great result away from home, if u don't play well and still win it's a good sign.

Just imagine when we start turning it on starting against wolves next week....PUSB

Give this choice at the start of the season, without Gus or Vik I think most including myself , would of taken it

 

[MikeyMoo]

PNE lost, Hull drew. Pretty good outcome for us today. Norwich put 5 past Rotherham but we know exactly how bad they are so this was factored in I think. We're now 1 point behind Norwich and Hull with better GD and 9 games to go. Even if PNE win the game in hand they're behind us.
HUD AWAY W; CAR HOME W; LEE HOME D; SOU AWAY L; BIR AWAY W; IPS HOME - D; HUL HOME - D; BLA AWAY - W; QPR HOME - W = 73 points... 6th spot. Southhampton in playoffs 2 legs. WBA in the final at Wembley.

 

[Gint11]

What a massive win that is

 

[Ccfcisparks]

And ?

They will batter us if we play like we did today

 

[Evo1883]

Stressful 3 .. going to up my BP Medication to see the season out

 

[Dirk Turpin]

Cant complain at that, not the best performance but 3 points and sheaf got some minutes in

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Enjoy today - we could play well v Wolves and lose. At least it's not season over, regardless. The league is still alive, which makes for more excitement between now and the end of the season.

I expect to lose that game, but want to see us make a fist of it.

Great win for Stoke today at Preston, love that 4 point gap.

We're well in the play-off hunt.
