I can see us getting an early penalty and go on and win 3-2 .
keep the faith
Let’s all be honest no one wants MR gone

It's pretty clear to me

7 losses in 12 when we haven't played any of the big hitters

2 wins in 19 since Leeds (H)

It's not good enough anymore with the money spent

So no then

 

[chiefdave]

Called exactly where the kick it for a ticket shit would go. Why does no one aim right?

Sounds like you need to get your name on the list

 

[Nick]

We have played very well overall.

We haven't though? We have gifted them 2 goals.

Am I missing something?

 

[robbiekeane]

Come on, the second goal was also down to Sakamoto not pushing out and playing Luton onside - the defence had rightly pushed out and played 3 or 4 Luton players off if not for Sakamoto. What followed was shit defensively obviously.

we absolutely should have dealt with it

 

[Domo]

When's the last time we won a game from being 2-0 down?

 

[ccfc922]

?? Nothing ever guaranteed in football. It's our club. You love it through thick and thin. Marketing is irrelevant ( unless you're an idiot - not you by the way!)

No, I agree, but the marketing was "Up!" so to be in the relegation zone after 12 games is laughable. We may still make the play offs etc, but it's not looking promising so far.

Decent corners from Saka

They have been different but it’s almost as if he hasn’t told the rest of the squad what he’s planning

Few too many he’s tried to creep in at the near post but then did start to mix it up

I was fearing the worst when Eccles took our first one. Couldn’t go another 90 minutes of those terrors

 

[The watchmaker]

Our chances haven’t been clear cut though. Situations and scrambles. It’s the defence that’s the issue. We don’t do absolute basics. Too busy worrying about whether they can pass to each other for 80 minutes rather than the basics of defending.

Seeing their defence throwing themselves in the way makes me quite envious...

Binks ball watching as Adebayor makes a simple run across him.

It’s very tough.
I’d be leaning towards a replacement but I can’t see one that’s obvious enough but at the same time I don’t want to take the risk on an unknown overseas appointment midway through the season. I’d probably just stick with Robins

 

[shmmeee]

Not sure I’d get it to the goal line!

 

[standupforcity]

Basette on for Saka please!!

 

[ccfc922]

It's not happening today, I can assure you.

 

[jto123]

For those saying we are playing well, do they actually think this is a good defensive performance?

 

[stupot07]

I have no idea what Marcus Hall is saying, it's just blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Our PA is so bad, Sounds like a horse racing commentator.

 

[Evo1883]

Mind you , almost the entire stadium was singing his name at 1-0 down.

So there is that , over the 7 or 8 dullards on here

 

[sw88]

Simms playing really well

Doing everything but what you want your striker to do, score

Looking strong when competing for the balls though

 

[CovInEssex]

You can be flying high at the top or shit like us and still be opened up like we've been. We've been unlucky yes but need to bury our chances.

Early goal and it's game on. We need to be running at them to get those on cards shaking a bit.

Hopefully the ref doesn't like time wasting.

 

[Sky Blue Wozza]

Marcis Hall LWB

 

[larry_david]

We had a free kick inside their half, I looked down at my phone and looked back up and dovin was hoofing it

It happens every time! We actually took a quick free kick and still passed it back.

They are scared on the ball. Terrified. It's a movement. Eccles passes it back to thomas, who passes back to lats, who then dallies 15 seconds and then...yes, passes back.

It's infuriating and it all comes from that first pass back, instead of being bloody brave

 

[Nick]

Mind you , almost the entire stadium was singing his name at 1-0 down.

People also sung Doug king's name.

Let's hope by the end of the second half there's a reason to sing his name.

 

[sw88]

It’s ok, they’re looking at the PA system apparently.

Think they must just be literally looking at it though as it’s never been any good since the stadium has been built

 

[Covcraig@bury]

When's the last time we won a game from being 2-0 down?

Semi final against Manure

 

[Evo1883]

Can't remember the last time it was sung

The problem is we’ve massively overspent on several players.

 

[chiefdave]

Have you heard something?

The talk round where I sit is Robins is 100% safe but there’s a couple of others who should be worried about their jobs. No idea where this originated from but people are talking like it’s 100% fact

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

1876

 

[stupot07]

Rudoni for Kitching.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Would very much like to see the xG chart at the end of this.

King

Rudoni for Kitching.

433?

 

[Otis]

We haven't though? We have gifted them 2 goals.

Am I missing something?

Yes. You are focusing on the fact we are two nil down.

Even on Sky they are saying we are very unlucky and the scoreline doesn't represent what we have seen on the pitch.

 

[Macca]

We haven't though? We have gifted them 2 goals.

Our standards have dropped and therefore so do the expectations. Poor finishing and poor defending difficult to call it a good performance

 

[Ccfcisparks]

There are literal pools of water on the pitch
