[Sky Blue Pete]

Thomas got straight up when the penalty was given

He didn’t

 

---

[EalingSB]

He has to stop for Bobby Thomas falling over after taking a hit to the head
Very poor and then lets them leg it into the corner twice
No wonder Eccles told him to fuck off

No chance the ref should have stopped play for that.

 

[Grendel]

Really poor game but having got back I’d hoped we could last until half time. Get Wright and simms on FFS

 

[Evo1883]

it was bonkers to dive in for no reason.

He's really detrimental to this team , but at the same time the lineup is detrimental to our chances today anyway

 

[Grendel]

He didn’t

So he had treatment?

 

[Briles]

need a triple at half time, wright simms and van Ewijk on

 

[Evo1883]

Robins hasn't benched Wright/Simms/MVE for the fun of it. They're obviously knackered and in need of a rest

Sometimes managers are overly protective of footballers , they're the fittest specimen on the planet ..are you saying Thomas is fine but all the attackers aren't? Let's be real

 

[skyblu3sk]

Thought the tackle was outside the area for the penalty but overall you have to ask what the fuck is this team selection against 7th in the league. If it was bottom half with nothing to play for I'd understand but we have a wembley hangover without our key players on the pitch!

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Ok…. Get the real team on now

MVE, Wright and Simms please.

 

[stupot07]

That was shite. 1 shot all game, a 20 yard freekick. Created absolute zero from open play.

Brilliant freekick by Palmer, but he's been shite, as has Godden, Dasilva, Lati, Kelly and Collins.

Eccles our best player by far.

Thomas has to go straight down or carry on. He got up, saw where hull were and went back down to stop play.

If you're going to play a lone striker, you have to have players who are willing to get up and around them and make runs in behind. Palmer wants to play too deep, Dasilva is a left back, and Eccles is doing his best. Godden is so isolated.

Well outside the box wasn't it?

 

[Dimi_Konstantflapalot]

I know he’s a good bloke and all but if we have ambitions of autos next year which is where I think we can aim. Lati isn’t it

He’s become the victim of his versatility

I remember an interview with MR earlier in the season where he said Lati would benefit from knowing where he was playing from week to week

I don’t think he’s actually played as a CB since we switched to a 4, and it’s clear to everyone he’s not that comfortable at RB or CM

I’d have thought with only a few games left you play until you drop

 

[Grendel]

Godden and palmer have no energy - is palmer playing as a forward? No idea what role Dasilva is playing

 

[stupot07]

Did Thomas even receive treatment? I’d criticise any player for not playing to the whistle.

No he didn't.

Lati is fine.

He's fading more as the season goes on but this is by far the largest number of games he's played in a season. He's only 24 and can play multiple positions. A great asset to the squad.

Eccles gets let off with a lot for being young and there is 3 months between them.

 

[Esoterica]

Robins hasn't benched Wright/Simms/MVE for the fun of it. They're obviously knackered and in need of a rest

Had a week off before the Man U game, if they've not actually got knocks and minor injuries, they should be playing.

 

[Evo1883]

YES !!!!

Also sheaf and Bidwell

Just outside the box.

Yeh I'm with you now mate, its every game he's giving something away. Should be nowhere near our first team atm.

What is his foot doing there?

Eccles is far superior to lati , far far superior

Eccles performances this season have vastly exceeded Lati's what utter nonsense.

I thought it was outside

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Looked a typical reaction to taking a knock to the head to me

Really not happy with Thomas here , stood up , held his cheek , watched the game continue then went down holding his head .. terrible by him

 

[mark82]

Godden and palmer have no energy - is palmer playing as a forward? No idea what role Dasilva is playing

Godden has done so much for us but he's finished at this level isn't he? Just doesn't offer anything up there at all.

 

[Grendel]

Just outside the box.

The tackle was just idiotic and tbh looked in real time a penalty

 

[Evo1883]

Not at all Pete, he really cost us there

Sheaf probably covered as much ground as anybody on Sunday

 

[curly_tom]

We really need to bring on some attackers. Godden has been totally pointless and Da Silva out of position. There seems to be no leadership or desire. That said, their goals have both been lucky. We can get back into this but not with this team.

 

[Paxman II]

If we want to win we must make changes at half time. Ewik must come on. The game is far too fast for Kelly. Like Wembley, Robin's started with the wrong idea. Changes needed if we are to rescue the situation. They are footballers. It's all they do...get them on!

 

[Evo1883]

Sheaf probably covered as much ground as anybody on Sunday

Exactly , I'm not buying it

Yeah, that could have been a red. Probably saved by not being a huge amount of force.

 

[kg82]

So he had treatment?

Is that what the rule is? Only stop play for a head injury if they need treatment?
