Bidwell has to be dropped

Im sure that will turn us into a winning team

I feel for Simms, he doesnt get the service at all, why we didnt sign another central midfielder in this window baffles me. Saddle is 10000% right that we would regret missing out on Browne, he’s exactly what we need why we didnt just finalise his deal and go after Stamenic as well if we were looking to offload Palmer will forever baffle me. Yes we would have still missed out on Stamenic but we would have Browne

He had two great chances and fucked them up

 

[Skyblue Bangkok]

Still think he is. Ridiculously early to start judging

Fans are just reacting in frustration that's all.

Bidwell has to be dropped

3 of the back 4 do and BTA needs to come in for Simms for a bit too really. The fact it hasn't happened yet is baffling, if it doesn't happen in the next game he's truly lost the plot.

Anybody got Robins post match comments?

He doesn't work enough , a point made and agreed with on CWR he's not working the channels or getting involved enough either ..people gave godden PELTERS and he never worked as little as simms

There’s so so much work to do, that was an alarming performance

 

[Saddlebrains]

How anyone. Anyone at all can see that today and not think questions need to be asked are fucking mental

Midfield mon existent, shape a fucking mess and the inability to swap formation when 1 down at home with a plethora of attacking options is infuriating

Robins and his 17 fucking coaches, who BTW, have brought fuck and all to the table so far, need to find a way to play without Sheaf because if he is our for a while we are FUCKED

‘Help me Adi’

Stats interesting

Yes, first half, though not brilliant, we were the better team and should have been ahead.

Second, they made a couple of tweaks, and whilst never being particularly threatening, nullified us completely, passed around us at will, got a lucky goal and then had a pretty easy win.

We were embarrassingly awful.

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Bucks stops with Robins. The pressure will rightly be on him.

Get rid of the coaches, seen enough

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

Traffic horrendous again, can’t be arsed with this every single home game

 

[theferret]

Zero positives from that, we look miles off all over the pitch. We're at home, 1-0 down with 40 mins to go and we can't get the ball. We hardly won a second ball all afternoon and had no sustained spell of pressure at any point. A lot of work to do. We can talk about individual quality all you like, bit it looked like men against boys at times.

CWR caller implying we could get dragged into a relegation battle

Was it you?

 

[fernandopartridge]

Rudoni did a very moving tribute to him on the pitch I thought.

And he doesn't do a lot of moving

 

[wingy]

It depends on how they're being instructed to defend as far as I'm concerned,, nothing wrong attacking wise with Bidwell, exposed again just like his replacement, could and should have kept Burroughs around for me can handle both sides!

 

[Liquid Gold]

It wont have been Robins’ decision.

Then his response to the question - "why aren't we playing well"

Should rightly be "Because you haven't provided me with the tools to do the job I've been asking for for over a year"

Simms had two chances today and fluffed both, didn't even manage a shot on target.

 

[Evo1883]

Get kitching and Thomas back in the side , bit of fucking oomph at the back and some leadership qualities.

 

[fernandopartridge]

He doesn't work enough , a point made and agreed with on CWR he's not working the channels or getting involved enough either ..people gave godden PELTERS and he never worked as little as simms

I think he's instructed not to run the channels so as not to crowd out Wright/Saka and full backs. It's not working though

 

[Hincha]

They added an extra player in the middle and we couldn’t deal with it again. Same as Stoke and Bristol.

Too easy to control games against us at the moment.

 

[ccfc922]

Window is closed ffs

Loans too???

 

[procdoc]

Still think he is. Ridiculously early to start judging

Based on what?

 

[ccfc922]

Loan window also closed last night. Only hope now is free agents…who will need a couple of months to get up to speed.

This shitshow is entirely on Robins for not strengthening in the o buoys area and for continuing to persist with players who are not up to the primary objective of their role

Ah ffs.

Not wanting Mark out but questions have to be asked. Wonder how long Mark can carry on and how long we can have no club playing culture as I don’t know what we’re even trying to achieve. I’ll be proven wrong no doubt but just grumbling today

 

[SkyblueTexan]

CWR caller implying we could get dragged into a relegation battle

Very true

 

[Sky Blue Goblin]

Ah ffs.

We could still look at free agents quite a few of the Bordeaux lot still haven’t got clubs

 

[Sky Blue Goblin]

CWR caller implying we could get dragged into a relegation battle

Could see tbh.

 

[Liquid Gold]

By far our best defenders. I don't know if he's just trying to get an understanding with Lati and Binks or punishing Thomas and Kitching for the end of last season but whatever it is he needs to stop and put the best pairing we have back in.

I mentioned that other day that I doubt he’s happy with the situation but got shot down because we used to rely on free transfers at some point 8-10 years ago.

 

[SkyblueTexan]

CWR callers also questioning the departure of Adi and MR's job security - despite having so much credit in the bank, heads will ultimately roll
