Unlucky. Played really well.

MVE at fault for the first goal unfortunately. He was too slow picking up the run into the box.

We deserved the win.

That's on Allen. Bugger. Never mind

That's harsh. Their second goal was just one of them.

I thought we were the better side throughout

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

Subs showed that Robins wasn’t really arsed about winning the game. Basically just took off everyone who is likely to start on Saturday. No way Allen should have played 90 minutes, he was awful second half.

 

[Jamesimus]

Poor finishing and tired legs cost us that. Ah well, gave a decent account of ourselves.

 

[skyblueelephant76]

So not all down to Torp then?

It was a terrible ball from Sheaf

 

[procdoc]

Why is Aheaf playing that into Torp like that

 

[SIR ERNIE]

Great performance to take into a far more important game on Saturday.

 

[Brylowes]

That is exactly what Sheaf is always prone to, simple passes misplaced.

 

[jordan210]

Once again game management and poor subs cost us.

prem team is not the time to bring an injured player on first game back

Not down to Torp.

It was a hospital pass.

 

[Cally Fedora]

Superb. But naive

Well let's just throw him a fucking party!

 

[TomRad85]

Want to see more of a Wright, Bassette, BTA front 3

I dunno how Eccles and rudoni went off over Allen. Well I do it's about resting for sat

Allen worked tirelessly but he looked inferior final 10 mins

Emc is missing chances but I'm not sure it's anything to be angry about. We are so unlucky to lose today

 

[2024/25 League 1 Champs?]

I really don’t care too much about this result, if anything more about the performance, which has been pretty impressive against a top half premier league team…. BUT

Jamie Allen is a huge weak link in that team, and also weirdly the changes fucked it, particularly taking Rudoni and Wright off, and actually Simms too even though on reflection probably not the worst as he had a few chances

and you can’t blame Torp for the goal either, poor pass by Sheaf when it was completely unnecessary

never mind, hopefully they will take that as a boost into the rest of the season now

 

[Perennial Lurker]

Absolutely mugged , Kulasevski made the difference

Yeah sorry it was Sheaf my bad. Suicide ball to Torp who had 2 men on him

 

[Sick Boy]

Can’t believe people are upset. Great performance.

We gave a good account of ourselves but need to be more clinical. Robins’ subs suggested he was more bothered about Saturday.

 

[Winny the Bish]

Game changed when Bassette and Rudoni came off. Lost all our momentum and threat.

 

[Evo1883]

Thought we gave a really good account of ourselves , should have been 3 or 4 up before they scored .. a real shame it couldn't atleast be decided by spot kicks , but we largely looked very good .

Onto Swansea

 

[Alkhen]

How

Yeah my mistake it was Sheaf that sold Torp down the river

 

[EalingSB]

Our players were excellent - Rudoni, Bassette, Eccles and Wilson chiefly.
Spurs brought Maddison, Son, Spence and Kulusevski off the bench and they made the difference - we just don't play against players of that quality often.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

You’ve got to play Thomas and Bassette Saturday

Hindsight is a wonderful thing

He’s playing in the league above for the first time, I’m confident he’ll come good.

 

[SeshMouseSkyBlue]

Talk about keep on digging when already in a hole....

Digging? Hardly! Allen has been a weak link for a very long time and Torp just isn’t good enough!

 

[junglej13]

Generally played really well until the subs. Our subs killed us. Simms, Torp, Mason Clark and Sheaf were shocking.

 

[Liquid Gold]

Hold your heads up high lads. Could and should have beaten a team with their resources.

Take that confidence into the league and start to shoot our way up the table.

 

[stupot07]

The Tottenham coach not happy with Maddison

Subs showed that Robins wasn’t really arsed about winning the game. Basically just took off everyone who is likely to start on Saturday. No way Allen should have played 90 minutes, he was awful second half.

Allen really wasn't awful second half, he struggled the last 10 minutes when his legs were going, but not the whole of the second half

 

[RegTheDonk]

Gut wrenching. Subs not up to speed.

Positive note if we show grit like this in the league STARTING NOW we'll be in with a shout

 

[wantageskyblue]

Well let's just throw him a fucking party!

You are an idiot, goodnight.

 

[Nick]

We have no fucking clue really.

 

[Ring Of Steel]

We have 5888 coaches and no game management. Embarrassing

It’s a shitter we lost at the end like that, but if you think that performance was ‘embarrassing’, give your head a wobble

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Had so many chances to put that game to bed, then fuck it up in vintage CCFC style.

Would be nice not to lose these games in the most wrenching way possible for once

 

[Alkhen]

It isn’t

Yep it was Sheaf
