[Brighton Sky Blue]

But not as bad as today where we were appalling ?

To be quite honest yes they were. We had arguments breaking out on the pitch against Swansea.

The truth is we have looked a very poor team in many games. Firm relegation candidates

Did they? Sheffield United? It was attack vs defense for most of the game.

No mate sorry from today the minute they scored 2nd half you could have gone home if not for a dubious penalty which we welcome , lino a chelsea fan ? Check I would

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

As usual , they never played us off the park , that's a factual statement

No it isn’t. We couldn’t handle them and the result flattered us.

 

[2024/25 League 1 Champs?]

You think robins sapped the confidence from the team ? Based on zero evidence whatsoever but your own opinion of robins managerial style

I think it’s harsh to say Robins sapped the confidence to be honest.

it would be very unlike him as he’s motivated fairly average players to do some really good things in his first 5 seasons here

Ok Robins et. al. although the evidence is there for all to see, players playing very well last season now look like they’re scared of the football, and that is because of all the shit that’s gone on behind the scenes, particularly the loss of good quality coaches (down to Robins) and then the poor quality of coaching and tactical nouse and mixed messages (again only one person to blame)

A team in poor form doesn't mean the manager has sapped the confidence from them fuck me did he sap it and give it them back 3 or 4 times in the past

We’re splitting hairs over this. There have been so many simply unacceptable performances across the season from these players.

We did not look like equalising in any game we’ve lost except PNE where we actually did equalise. We are where we deserve to be.

Yes I don’t think you can say with confidence this performance was any better/worse than any other loss this year

Unacceptable performances maybe so ..but when we chased games under robins we always showed more desire to get back into it than that today wether we won or not.

We were appalling the minute we went 2-1 down onwards

 

[Evo1883]

Loads of people by us were leaving after 75 minutes ffs

 

[skybluecam]

We are in crisis, we are conceding two goals per game, that's the 6 of the last 7 games where we've conceded two or more. No team will stay up letting in goals at that rate.

We’re scoring plenty, underlying stats show we’re unlucky to have conceded as many as we have. We are not playing well but we’re not in crisis and won’t get relegated.

BBR - Bring Back Robins.

Thought we knocked it round well first half, looking for a riskier pass, we could quite easily have been 1 up inside a minute. Pleased for EMC to get a well deserved goal. Starting to look a real threat for us on the left, only issue is he always wants to come inside even when it's not on and leaves little option for the LB.

Second half was abysmal, and quite frankly we got lucky at the end with the penalty.

What's going on with MVE? Looks a shadow of his former self.

ok mate if you say so

they were obviously being coached well but just decided to play like Sunday league players then

the situation at the club, which was down to Mark Robins, meant the players suffered

We didn’t see it against Derby, Swansea or Norwich Evo, I’m sorry. Stoke also.

And yet since he’s gone we’ve not won a game and let in two every match. And the players look less motivated than ever.

it is obvious you’re not over Robins being sacked and that’s fine, but he created the problem and it’s entirely his fault so you probably need to let go and move on mate - he wasn’t going to turn it round and he was probably going to take us down this season - can Frank turn it round, we hope to god so, but it will take some work, either way we are in a better place now that we were a couple of months ago

All marks fault which I'm sure you will see going forward mate , enjoy it , especially you

Do they?

Sunderland they came back well. Sheff Utd was a good performance and we should’ve won. Burnley was terrible but you don’t go there expecting much tbh.

 

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

No post match interview from Lampard?

Ah yes the clubs moved on a ton in 2 months

Fuck me this forum

exactly this, and bear in mind we were also in a state of flux

the players picked up under Carr, and Lampard has been in the door two days

“came back well” that would be after the two goals we gave them. Same at Sheff Utd tbh. I’d rather not have to come back at all.

Put all the spin you like on it, we’ve been awful.

Hopefully reading the riot act to the piss takers

I had CWR on, on the way home and they finished the show at 6pm and he still hadn't been interviewed.

 

[covcity4life]

I don't really understand the negativity

This performance under robins would have seen ppl angry but vast majority never really worried so much they wanted him gone

This performance under Carr would have been seen as decent

But the first game for a new manager and because it's not perfect it's panic stations?

Don't get it

 

[Evo1883]

We were diabolical at Burnley, we couldn't beat 10 man sheffield united at home ?

We got 2 points from 9 , hardly an upturn

We’ve got just enough players for a squad, I’m not sure what threats he’s going to make. “I’ll rotate three or four of you”?

If this was a performance under carr I’d be thinking thank fuck we are getting a permenant manager in

You can’t drop them, but you can at least put a rocket up their arses. They are putting this club in serious trouble with their weak as piss performances.

 

[CovInEssex]

I've not actually worried yet because I do think we've played well, just shit at the back.

Then I went to Burnley and today as well was awful. We've conceded 6 from 8 shots on target.

Milan and Dasilva uncomfortable. Sheaf and Eccles not existent.

 

[covcity4life]

If this was a performance under carr I’d be thinking thank fuck we are getting a permenant manager in

And we have now. You expected everything to be fixed after 2 training sessions?

We gotta be patient.

Best Millwall next week and everyone is gonna be like wow 4/6 and lamps doing well maybe we can surge up table etc

No point talking about relegation right now

I'm sorry, but how are we in a better position than a couple of months ago?

At the very least we've stayed the same, and at worst we've regressed.

If you take Robins out of the equation completely, you cant say based on results and league position we've improved since a few months ago.
Performances on the whole have had a slight increase, but that's all gone out the window again the last two games.
2 steps forward and 4 back.

Frank has his work cut out to get us somewhat near mid-table and only if he does it can we say we're in a better position.

Burnley agreed, Sheff Utd looked very good but just couldn’t finish them off

Again, words in my mouth, where have I said I expected it to be fixed?
