The squad is the problem.

100% new manager will still struggle

EMC, Wright and Bobby Thomas. 3 of the most disgraceful professional footballer performances i have ever seen today.

EMC has been a shambles. Lazy talentless oaf. Wright didn’t look bothered, and Thomas is a liability

what about Kitching???????

I disagree with Thomas, thought he did well, particularly as he was basically doing the job of two people!

they really aren’t upgrades on what we’ve had before though

 

[shmmeee]

Nonsense. It's pretty much the same as last season.

It was shit last season too.

 

[Boicey]

We saw a fighting, hardworking reaction in the Blackburn game after the Leeds embarrassment but it's a different matter to do that week in week out.
I think we lack any real quality so we have to choose the best 11 who will most likely fight for it every game.

 

[Nick]

Their second was onside

 

[MacReady]

One thing I will say, I thought the away fans were lame as f*ck. they fill it out and barely make a noise.

 

[jto123]

Anybody heard Robins interview after match yet?

 

[djr8369]

To be fair fans can be incredibly irrational at times .. the last caller just said he'd never seen a player a poor as haji wright

Yeah today was pants but the phone in is lunacy.

Disagree, new manager would see us get such better results

Looks off, the angle makes it look closer but his head at least is off

Not this shit, 9th and a fa cup semi

Think the problems are much deeper than that.

 

[procdoc]

We lack leadership all over the pitch. Getting rid of Kelly, Fadz and Godden removed an experienced spine. I’m not saying we should have kept them but we could have done with bringing in some experienced players in the summer

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

The squad is the problem.

The squad haven’t forced him to shoehorn players into a 4-2-3-1 that he’s stubbornly refusing to change even when we’re being outplayed on the pitch.

Well actually there were lots of positives , we finished 9th .. they had the opportunity to bring in players to take us to the next level

 

[Matt smith]

Oh agreed, it’s all in dire straits

One thing I will say, I thought the away fans were lame as f*ck. they fill it out and barely make a noise.

Not as bad as our own fans.

It's depressing how we've gone from one of the loudest home grounds in the country to another generic nothing club with no atmosphere.

Is it?

how do you know?

 

[Great_Expectations]

Bullied, not enough commitment and no clear game plan.

Rudoni, Sheaf, Eccles honourable mentions but just not good enough as a te

Can’t turn up for 10 minute spells and expect to win.

Pissed off.

 

[shmmeee]

Not this shit, 9th and a fa cup semi

Well we had the same manager last season too

 

[covmark]

There's no guarantee of that. Not sure where I am with him though tbh. All seems to have gone a bit stale.

 

[hinckley cov]

Or change our approach when it wasn’t working. Surely ideal game for Bassette?

He won’t play Bassette as he prefers tippy tappy boring slow football and don’t like pace it seems I feel sorry for players on the bench .

 

[Matt smith]

how do you know?

I think the players are better than what they’re showing

they have no clue tactically, that’s on the manager

 

[Otis]

100% new manager will still struggle

Yup. That's it in a nutshell. For whatever reason, this squad is just not functioning. I can't see changing the manager is going to make any difference.

If the balance is all wrong, it needs more movement in a transfer window and we don't have that option now until January.

We just seem to be disjointed.

 

[Nick]

Because the players aren't arsed. The manager is happy to try and get a draw at home to Sheffield Wednesday rather than go for the win.

Who are you after ?

 

[Matt smith]

Can’t get any worse mark.

 

[shmmeee]

It’s not a shape issue. We don’t have the players either in terms of quality or mentality.

depends who, and for how long…..

would a new manager bring their number 2 and coaching team with them? so bye bye Aled Williams and co.?

 

[djr8369]

Disagree, it’s the tactics

Today the difference was work rate and lack of effort to win second balls.

 

[Nick]

If the balance is wrong you change the system to suit the balance for the players we have.

What the fuck are you on about?

 

[Matt smith]

Who are you after ?

I’m not sure, and as I’ve said robins is a club legend

I just think it’s time for someone else to try and get the best out of this squad

We've been shit the entire time we've played that that place but the people still made an effort. It was louder with 6000 in League 2.
