What’s wrong with going into a game and actually attacking it from the start. Ponderous bullshit tonight.

[no_loyalty]

Get we get a new defence for Christmas please?

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

We had 3 shots all game , that's a new low even for this season

Sure we had fewer at Stoke? Or am I thinking shots on target

 

[Otis]

3 shots

Yes please. Make mine brandy's.

 

[Cally Fedora]

We’re an absolute dream to play against. So many easy goals we give away. Dasilva simply has to come out. It’s embarrassing. Binks the same - absolutely featherweight.

 

[Ashdown]

We’ve spunked our bit of money on total shite and if Robins sanctioned all that then no wonder ……

 

[The watchmaker]

8 goals conceded from the last 12 shots on target.

Reckon we should try 11 outfield players?

 

[Paul Anthony]

Poor performance, really. Offered no threat at all.

The first goal, I swear was a replay of the same goal we've conceded 90% of the time so far this season. It's basically a copy and paste from every other game.

And how the hell the second one went in. I'm not going to put all the blame on Collins, because it should never have been able to get into the position for it to happen in the first place. I know they're coached to play out from the back, but someone's got to realise at some point there are occasions it really is better to just smash your foot through it.

 

[TomRad85]

I really cannot be arsed this season.

Called this after 5 games. Gutted to be right again.

 

[Ccfcisparks]

The only solid consistency is Torp being anonymous. How he’s at this level is beyond me.

I think that’s harsh. I think he’s been impressive recently. Tonight not so much

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Defeat at Burnley is hardly the low point of our season, it was just drab. Hopefully the new man can get off to a good start, I don't think this one will stay in the memory long.

Losing is one thing, not putting up a fight and letting a team have the points is another.

 

[Evo1883]

Sure we had fewer at Stoke? Or am I thinking shots on target

We had 7 at stoke .. point is we've offered absolutely zilch tonight .. zilch

 

[Nick]

The Derby defeat was much worse

And Sheff Wed

 

[Boicey]

If you set this team up to defend and slow the game down they just can't get out of that negative mindset.
They get stuck in 2nd gear.
We have to set up to routinely attack teams it's the only way to wake the fookers up.

 

[JSL]

It was against 11 men so what did we expect?

 

[Earlsdon-Loyal-Blue]

And to think we got told it was a big shame that EMC couldn’t join us in January, he’s 25, he’s meant to almost be at his peak.

He looks like he should be a Wetherspoons Bouncer rather than a pacy winger.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

We had 7 at stoke .. point is we've offered absolutely zilch tonight .. zilch

Far from the first time this season we've offered no threat to the opposition

 

[skyblu3sk]

I think van Ewijk is a brilliant player but fuck me does he need to work on his crossing it's ridiculous how he ghosts past his man and sticks that across. If he gets his crossing right he will be class.

 

[Grendel]

We're going down unless we address the defence pronto

I agree. It’s dreadful.

 

[Evo1883]

And Sheff Wed

Was it bollocks we've just played 90 minutes and sat in for an entire 45 and then had 3 shots in the following 45

 

[JoeCCFCPUSB]

1 win in 12.
Absolutely shit performance, same old, centre backs passing out to MVE he runs forward plays to either Sakamoto or Eccles, Eccles goes back to the centre backs and repeat. Dross football.

We need new Centre backs a new left back and a top box to box centre mid. Our defence apart from MVE is absolutely shit.

You can go ahead and offload Bidwell, Kitching, Simms.

Shit transfer window, Asante has done fuck all, hasn't got a first touch, Rudoni nothing but a waste of money, absolutely levels below Hamer, O'Hare, yet 4 Times the price.

We have got too many bang average players, Thomas, Binks, Dasilva, Bidwell, Rudoni, Asante, Simms, Kitching, Torp, Eccles are bang average players.

Let's be honest without 2 new centre backs and quality midfielder we ain't going anywhere.

We made Burnley looked like fucking Liverpool tonight.

That’s what annoys me. In the first ten mins, I could see how it would play out. Why not back your team and attack the game. There wasn’t anything to lose.

 

[SBT]

Our defence was shocking last season, yet we proceeded to bring the same defensive unit back, and spent loads of money on more strikers and yet another mid-range keeper instead. And people STILL wanted us to sign more midfielders.

 

[usskyblue]

Funny how the people comfortable with MR getting sacked are saying tonight wasn’t that bad. Tonight was a fuckingshitshow

 

[Tommo1993]

Burnley won by barely even turning up. This team is so far off.

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Frank has a serious job on his hands getting some positivity going this season. Robins, the players and coaches have really created a serious stink lingering around the club

 

[JSL]

And to think leaving Kitching out is the better option. Decent CB and LWB needed urgent

 

[harvey098]

Kids fuck around with a supply teacher.

Adults fuck around with an interim head coach.

APPOINT SOMEONE!!!

The more I think about it, the more I think Doug and Robins had a proper row after Derby and it was an emotional, reactive decision.

To not have anyone lined up to come in before sacking a manager that was in top 6 form is so fucking naive.

 

[quinn1971]

Defensive coach is gonna earn his wages,

 

[PVA]

We're going down unless we address the defence pronto

Good job we're about to hire a manager who can't organise a defence and whose teams are generally awful defensively

 

[Skybluekyle]

I hope there will be a poll!

I wouldn't subject us to another one, but a thread of things it feels only happens at your club;

- We never keep the ball from kickoff
- We never keep the ball from a throw-in
- Soft goals
- Don't get the hype of Jaidon Anthony, I think he's a bag of crock (this one doesn't fit, but have to let it off my chest, he's wank)

 

[Skyblue_CP]

We just totally lack any sort of decent quality. There’s no purpose in the passing or vision/movement, it’s all so ponderous and loose. Everyone has lead in there boots and they can’t play a pass to feet. It’s just so poor.

 

[Nick]

Was it bollocks we've just played 90 minutes and sat in for an entire 45 and then had 3 shots in the following 45

Away to a team with the best defensive record in the top 4 leagues.

Not saying it was good, it was shite. Other games have been worse.

 

[Rodders1]

At the moment we need a motivator at the very least, a tactician is merely a bonus, as the players look disinterested. They’re taking no responsibility of the last 4 months of abject shite….

 

[HadjiChippo]

Don’t think we’re bad enough to go down, some of the teams below us look truly hopeless.

Can’t see us getting much higher than 17th or 18th however.
