Added to which the handball awarded just outside their area was in it and should have been a penalty. Would have been papering over the paper that’s already over the cracks though.

It was outside the area.

A lot of people seem very confident that the person who appointed the performance director and has overseen a complete overhaul of the coaching setup is going to make the right appointment should it come to that point.

Exactly. His track record, short as it is, is not filling me with confidence

These are a group of players that will get him sacked. When Lati is one of your better players it shows how bad we are as he is one of the slowest thinking players I have ever seen.

 

[Matt smith]

The players are tactically clueless, that’s on the manager

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

Are we allowed to say it’s been shite since March yet or do we still have to pretend that the end of last season doesn’t matter at all?

 

[Major Tom]

Tbf we never win at Preston, but if we have a repeat at QPR think it’s time to go.

Unbelievable isn’t it .. but it’s not the same players year in year out so god knows why we struggle there.

There's no scapegoat for poor performances, everyone is responsible.

you’re not allowed to mention last season remember no matter how concurrent it is.

 

[MalcSB]

It was outside the area.

It was the first contact and was in the area. Will look forward to the replay. Well, obviously I won’t, but you know what I mean.

 

[TomRad85]

If we quickly revise our expectations to "we came close to staying up, and League 1 isn't that bad" then suddenly this becomes acceptable.
Check your fucking privilege people.

 

[Blind-Faith]

Is anyone really surprised we lost at Preston? Every single year, every single time we play them at their place. Just write it off. We go again at QPR

 

[covcity4life]

Back to my 2 year old in high dependency unit. What a shit day so far. Pray it gets better from here

 

[Theonlywayisskyblue]

The really worrying thing is the lack of improvement in the overall performances. A sense of improvement gives hope but I just can't see it. Without hope.....

 

[Tile Hill Phil]

Robins going at a fan. Not good

What happened

 

[Matt smith]

There's no scapegoat for poor performances, everyone is responsible.

Agreed, but I’m just saying I truly believe the players are better than what they’re showing

 

[Cov98]

It’s fucking shit but in all honesty I never expected a result here. We never beat these pricks. I was however hoping for a slightly better performance, but next game is the real test.

 

[MalcSB]

What happened

Robins had a go at a fan, or fans,

Yeah let's write every game off. Let's say we have slow starts and that's ok.
In fact, we have been in league one before so it's fine.

 

[jordan210]

Have we had a good performance with having the new performance director

 

[mark82]

We're a bottom 3 team at the moment. Given what we've spent the last 2 years, someone will pay the price. Needs new manager with their own coaches.

We had more than 1 "big chance", Bassette, Eccles and Thomas would be "big chances" to most people.

Hope all turns out well

not sure if I read that right, but hope everything is ok!

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

The constant messing about with the team hasn’t helped changing keepers and defenders constantly.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

We put 5 or 6 players in our own 6 yard box and the goal is still scored from point blank.

Relegation battle for this team and they don’t look up for the fight.

 

[MalcSB]

Have we had a good performance with having the new performance director

No.

 

[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

Can’t wait for the players are tired excuse

No it'll be, the players are a bit rusty

 

[David O'Day]

It was the first contact and was in the area. Will look forward to the replay. Well, obviously I won’t, but you know what I mean.

Yeah live it look like he hit with his right hand first inside the box.

 

[napolimp]

Agreed, but I’m just saying I truly believe the players are better than what they’re showing

Said that earlier in the thread, but there's no way the players are playing anywhere near their potential, and that doesn't appear to be entirely due to tactical approach.

How many times must we 'go again' though ffs?

 

[shmmeee]

Hope everything’s OK man.

 

[SIR ERNIE]

Bassette and Eccles the only two who look as though they care about their performances.

To the others it's just a job.

This makes no sense. PNE looked a bad side.
