King has zero football experience to make the decision.

Think it shows he hasn't got a fucking clue with how things are at the mo

Still loads of people who want to eat his smegma

 

[Rodders1]

Something needs to change. Formation, player choices, atitute, expectation levels……. And some might say even the manager.

Either way, we look lost. God knows what the answer is. But hoping it’ll click isn't it.

EMC needs cosistant game time on the left to see if he's any good or not. If Wright is undropable because of the fee then I'm afraid EMC benchtime it is.

5 at the back to have some level of actual defensive support may need to happen also.

 

[pusbccfc]

Well it was because there wasn't an atmosphere, it only really got going in 2021 when we went back

Not fully true, there were days in League 2 with 6000 there where people made more of an effort.

Away from home we were always incredible, not really the case anymore.

Yeah we need that guy to walk on the pitch again and wag his finger at the players…… seriously….

 

[Viktor17]

Nothing other than Doug really isn't a happy man at the moment and wants answers. He's on the warpath evidently

Reckon he will pull trigger?

Not sure what that's got to do with the atmosphere being crap?

Wouldn't surprise me

My message wasn't meant to be sarcastic…. I agree with you. It all felt a little bit bit like we were actually playing the game with the players back in league 2. Some good atmospheres even with the small crowds. And when that guy walked on the pitch to tell the players they were shit it was quality!!

Haha fair enough!

 

[OldBedrocker]

He’s a striker playing out wide, he needs to get the ball in space and not in traffic. By the time he gets the ball, the opposition has 8 players in the box more often than not.

You can’t make excuses for that performance today he was dire

 

[wingy]

I’d agree with this, the midfield isn’t creative enough and play always slows through them, puts us under pressure and allows the other team to reset - we won’t make the best use of our wealth of attackers, and also play a horizontal pass and lose it and the pressure is back on the defence

We have players refusing to shoot also!

 

[alexccfc99]

Grow up

Ask me if I care - I fucking hate every last one of them

 

[Ibby]

Poor

 

[OldBedrocker]

Wright wasn’t awful he just didn’t get in the game enough and when he doesn’t we struggle.

The system is a mess. I have no idea where Mason Clarke was supposed to be playing. The midfield was hopelessly out of shape for the second goal

It’s a shambles

He was wank played half arsed, pulled out of every 50/50 looked scared of getting hurt. There was one ball 2nd half landed between him and Thomas Asante but way closer to him he ignored it and let Asante chase it. So annoying because when he fancies it he’s brilliant but when he doesn’t he’s utter shit. Thing is you can tell after 5 mins which one has turned up and Robins should’ve hooked him after 30 mins . Keeping him on for the entire game sends the wrong message that it is acceptable.

 

[OldBedrocker]

Liam Kitching.....shouldn't be anywhere near a championship backline

How the fuck are you blaming the defence for that? Wilson should’ve saved both goals. The forwards were fucking terrible. Couldn’t hold fuck all

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

How didn’t Torp get on when both CMs were on yellows and started midweek?

 

[OldBedrocker]

EMC kept coming into the middle of the pitch so when MVE looked up there was no one in front of him to pass the ball to, when EMC went off and BTA went out right he stayed there and that's when we started to get decent crosses into the box. If EMC is a wide player why doesn't he stay out there

Because he plays on the left not right!!

 

[2024/25 League 1 Champs?]

How the fuck are you blaming the defence for that? Wilson should’ve saved both goals. The forwards were fucking terrible. Couldn’t hold fuck all

Kitching 100% at fault for the first and he is fucking awful

 

[OldBedrocker]

Ellis Simms is a problem. He offers no movement and his first touch is horrific. At least BTA puts the graft in

BTA was quality on Tuesday but shite today

 

[Chris1987]

Lol. First Wednesday goal was clearly down to the shite Kitching header.

 

[Chris1987]

None of us have any idea as to what his pre match instructions were either way.

Just got home, it’s a long ol’ journey back to Cardiff…
I’m sure it’s all been said already, but that’s not going to stop me…fuck me, we are clueless. Sheff Wed good for the win. They played better football than we did and clearly knew their plan. Even at 1-0 they were the better side.
They should/could’ve had more if it weren’t for some desperate last ditch defending. This is not good.
I have no idea what’s happened. I’m starting to worry that Robins hasn’t either.
I could go on. It’s the first time in a loooong time - probably Forest Green away - that I’ve been angry at the final whistle.
5 home games, losing 3…when we haven’t really played anyone yet…is piss poor.

 

[OldBedrocker]

He’s not as good as Wright on the left and is crap on the right. So for all intents and purposes he’s crap.

Wright was an empty shirt today

 

[OldBedrocker]

Think their player who made that challenge was the one who scored the winner ?

Yep

Mad thing is that this wasn't our worst home performance this season!

 

[junglej13]

Having just seen the goals back they are a catalogue of errors. God help Robins knowing his job is at risk, going to Deepdale and having to trust Kitching and Thomas to concentrate for more than 10 seconds at a time. Two utterly stinking signings.

Yet both better than Binks and Lati

Swansea? I’d say it’s pretty close.

I was really fuming at the end. I know it’s hardly the point but an indicator of this was that I was also a bit annoyed buy some of our fans applauding the team at the end.
Applauding what exactly?!

 

[PUSB-We_are_going_up]

I thought Thomas, Rudi and Asante were decent and the only ones who could walk out thinking ‘I did alright’ the rest were poor, it was an overall poor team performance.
Its not a managerial thing causing these issues, its the squad thats the issue

 

[Sky Blue Goblin]

Wouldn't surprise me

See that does surprise me to be honest. I remember how highly he talked of Robins and he’ll know the history. Whether it’s right or wrong, talk about a huge decision

Swansea was an abomination.

The second half against Norwich was a travesty.

This was a bit better I think? The end was rotten though.

I don’t trust him to make the next appointment whenever MR does go.

 

[clint van damme]

Robins must have zero faith in him because,we were crying out for fresh legs in the middle.
A fucking calamity all round

It wasn’t a bit better, it was on par with Swansea, if anything worse as we got carved open so easily and so often for longer periods. This team can’t carry a good performance over even in the same week never mind from one to the next.

The fixtures following the break are hugely important in determining what type of season we’re in for as those in November are grim.
