This is the point I'm trying to make

Got absolutely leathered on here for days, off the back of 2 wins against teams with 10 men

It's not enjoying us being shit, it's throwing it back at those who joined a pile on
To be fair we looked good value for the win anyway against Luton and looked good at Boro before the red card. Again though it’s a few steps forward and a dozen back with this group.

MR again watching the nightmare of Sakamoto at AM while we’re pigeon holing Rudoni into LWB. At least give them both a chance and swap them, it was a crime against football tonight.

I just always think there is an overreaction in here when we lose.

We didn't play well. We gifted them a goal and it made the task that much harder.

We should have had two penalties though. That would have turned the game.

It was poor tonight, but that doesn't mean we are a poor side in general. Just were tonight.

Before this we just beat Luton and Middlesbrough. Two very good sides.
Seriously mate! Forget about penalties we never got. We were absolutely awful, and have been all season.

He's been fine for a young keeper. There were a million other reason s to feel pissed off after tonight. Now's not the time to slag him off.
Rudoni was insane with the backpass but the keeper has got to communicate as well. He doesn’t, hides on his goal line at set pieces and doesn’t command his box whatsoever.

We can’t afford for him to learn on the job.

The side lacks leadership on and off the pitch, nobody can grab these players and shake them up it seems. They play ok in fits and starts and if they are on top can hurt teams. But we cant keep waiting for the football gods to look our way anymore. This group have had enough time and enough games to give fans an idea of where they are going.

Unfortunately for me i don't think they believe in themselves or each other to gain and consistency to get better. And sadly Robins is just wishing time will give him the answers to why he sees good players that just are not performing at a level enough to put runs together.

Im not sure you lose at home to Wednesday, Derby and Swansea and sell it that progress is being made. We had to score 3 goals to win 2 of our 3 wins at home and that is a pattern that cant continue. Something is going to change and i hope its the players and coaches going before Robins, but i doubt that will be the case. Whoever brought and spent money on some of the signings needs looking at too. Shit night, shit result and nothing said will take away the feeling of being let down after 2 good results

I don't buy that, sorry. We have been poor in many games for sure. But not been all season.

We were excellent against Oxford and Spurs and Luton and Middlesbrough.

(I didn't see the Blackburn game)

Luton are not a very good side mate and Middlesbrough are an ok side that had 10 men.
It's not an overreaction. Our home form particularly is shameful.
Luton are a very good side. But in poor form, granted.

I agree our home form is pretty dreadful

We got 7 points from these games last season, and looked comfortably better in two of them. This season we’ve looked awful against all of them.

This team is in a relegation battle, no doubt about it.

Really looking forward to watching 2 of my most loathed teams ram their cocks down our throat in the coming weeks.

You can't seriously be saying Dovin should have shouted to Rudoni not to pass to him?!?

Mad talk that pass was never on and no keeper would have expected it. Stitched him up.

Dovin is fine and will be a better keeper than either of the others. He didn't cost us tonight

Maybe our players are not fit enough, seems like whenever we have a couple of games in a week we just don't perform, or its because when the opposition close us down it shits the players up and they make abysmal shoddy passes if its not any of those fuck knows it has to be either the players are just not good enough or the manager and the coaching staff aren't good enough

In time he will be. As I said, we don’t have time for a goalkeeper to learn on the job how to do the basics of the role. He can’t command his box at all, doesn’t talk to his defence and it shows.
