[clint van damme]

Go back to the box for the foreseeable and just focus on getting some meaningful possession.

The way things are going we're more likely to goback to 5-4-1 and try and shithouse our way to a few points.

What you see is what you get with Allen, there's no more to come.
But Hamer and Sheaf can absolutely run games but they don't do it enough for me.

Agreed. Put them both on the pitch and give them a chance though.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Is that our training regime?

Competition to concede goals more comical than the last

 

[PUSB-We_are_going_up]

Their goal looked offside to me, also Hamer taken down in the build up, a lot wrong with it. Officiating was poor, referee was their motm

 

[mark82]

Robins been on yet?

Ignore, on now.

 

[Nick]

What's he saying

 

[CovLad94]

If we'd have played Preston at foot tennis, we'd have prevailed, that seems to be the training regime after all

 

[Liquid Gold]

Robins starts off blaming us.

Cheers mate.

 

[steve101]

Blame lies at Robins door for that performance. Team was so disjointed from the start. Killed the crowd off in the first half. If Dabo can't be trusted to play two games back to back he shouldn't be at the club. Recruitment has been dire this summer. Squad looks unbalanced. Wingbacks offer absolutely nothing going forward.

Bidwell hit the woodwork twice and had a diving header cleared off the line!

We need to. At least with that system we get a hold of the ball and compete better in midfield.

Have to be honest we got our tickets for Norwich before kick off and a large part of us just doesn’t want to go. Could be a humiliation

Cheers mate.

What he say?

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Hmm, Robins implying he wasn’t happy with the support tonight

 

[Liquid Gold]

???

What he say?

Something like
“First game of the season and you can hear the frustration from the fans. They need to get that out of their system because it isn’t the players fault and it helps nobody”

 

[clint van damme]

What was wrong with it, not the loudest but didn't get on the teams back.

 

[Nick]

Hmm, Robins implying he wasn’t happy with the support tonight

Really? How?

 

[Nick]

Something like
“First game of the season and you can hear the frustration from the fans. They need to get that out of their system because it isn’t the players fault and it helps nobody”

Probably frustrated because he puts a shit starting 11 out then waits about 20 minutes to change things after we concede.

As well as all the other shit going on.

Ah I see it was the fans making us fail to connect two passes for half an hour Mark

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Robins starting to throw his toys out his pram? Looking for excuses other than himself? He picked a team tonight for a L1 game. Fans are entitled to be disgruntled.

Better blame the fans. Winning strategy.

Yeah, putting in the groundwork for an exit

I think we better get that taxi out….

slamming the fans rightly or wrongly is the beginning of the end

I didn't think the fans were that bad to be honest? Certainly much better than the Bristol game.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

These are the same fans who were bellowing out his name in the first half and did the best they could to generate something with how poor it was on the pitch.

 

[lord_garrincha]

Hmm, Robins implying he wasn’t happy with the support tonight

Wasn't sure if it was the set up, our confidence or the fact that the shorn squad has gone backwards this summer tonight.

But, yeah, fans weren't loud... Nailed it.

silly little prick

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Doesn’t sound positive on the CB front

 

[Liquid Gold]

Let’s all get behind MR by not turning up.

 

[Bugsy]

Look no fire without smoke but what we have that not many teams have is spirit. We need to maintain that we been thru shit before. We have experience. Like someone said before enjoy the fucking roller-coaster if nothing else.

Monty python quote. Life is shit when u look at it were better than any fans in the football league. I still believe.

I'm off to right a song. Anyone got gruff number.


....PUSB

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Anyway credit to Doyle, probably MOTM and didn’t let his head drop despite the nasty fans not cheering loudly enough

 

[PUSB-We_are_going_up]

We changed it a minute before we conceded

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Boddy told him he’d have no budget last year, have to “make their own funds”

 

[Nick]

Pretty sure you knew I meant tavares and the formation.

Well that’s a lie given he saw nothing from Hyam’s bundling to Lancashire

 

[PUSB-We_are_going_up]

Makes sense, I assumed you meant that but I was just making sure
