They really weren't very good at all. They were bang average and we gave them way too much respect.

They made it look easy. Difficult to break down. A good press. A keeper who was very assured.

It wouldn’t surprise me to see Lampard try and get rid of one of

Kitching, Binks or Lati and
JDS/ Bidwell

He will try and get a young athletic CB in on loan
he always seems to play with 1 enforcer and 1 athletic CB in the mould of Tomori

 

[MikeyMoo]

I think we’ll be OK, but I don’t really see us getting action in the January window.

 

[pusbccfc]

Hope frank plays this and just give them a run of games

Dovin
Milan
Thomas
Kitching
Bidwell
Sheaf
Eccles
Torp
Sakamoto
Simms
EMC

I think he will. We're messing about with things every week. Back to 4-3-3 and utilise our wingers/strikers.

 

[SBT]

Lampard: Right lads, I need you to score 3 goals per game in order to win games.

No but in all seriousness lads, the defence does need work

 

[JohnWH]

Burnley play such a boring game with such a stifling defense no wonder we couldn't unlock anything aside from a few unthreatening crosses. I know see how they've only conceded 6(?) goals all season by lulling opposition attack into boredom and frustration. They do not setup or play for openness on their end. They seem to somehow stand around but close down 3 on 1 almost simultaneously.

Onto the positives:
1. Hound got only a yellow card so is still available.
2. ....... hang on I'll think of something soon.

2. We've done a good job keeping Kitching out of the line of fire to avoid red cards and keep his legs fresh for the tough last month of the season.

Agreed, you’ve got a good front 6 there

back 4 needs lots of work when possible on the grass

If our third manager of the season still decides starting Lati and Dasilva is a good idea I might just pack it in.

 

[Cally Fedora]

Franks immediate to-do list
1) Get a new defence
2) Get Wright fit
3) Never play Sakamoto anywhere but right wing
4) Convince someone to give us money for Torp
5) For the love of god, stop playing five at the back.

 

[clint van damme]

This IS Robins team with Robins signings!
The shape of the team is his, the midfield is his and the fucking useless array of shite forwards are his. The signings we made this Summer have been largely appalling for the money. Loved MR but he’s left us with a team to rebuild now.
We need a Mcfadzean type no nonsense centre back, someone a bit nasty/ aggressive in the middle and a clear out of these God awful non footballers we have masquerading as strikers. Lets keep Haji and Norman and fuck off the rest.

What utter bollocks

 

[Ccfcisparks]

If we can have a consistent front 6 of

Sheaf Eccles
Rudoni
Sakamoto Simms Wright

we know from experience that creates and scores goals.

priority in January is sorting the defence out and settling on a keeper.

I actually think Kitching is the best CB to pair with a new quicker partner.

 

[harvey098]

Top 6 form shut the fuck up you clown

Seems a reasonable response

Not that I need to engage with someone like you but if the action was a carefully considered decision made before Derby as suggested, we were literally in play off points form. You can’t argue with that, it’s numbers mate. (10 points from 6 games = 77 points).

Dropping Thomas?

Bobby is our best defender by a mile, he’s very good

Right side of defence is sound

left side is shite

 

[Tommo1993]

I just want a new left back.

Wouldn’t mind competition for a badly regressing MvE. Needs a fire under his arse.

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Dropping Thomas?

Bobby is our best defender by a mile, he’s very good

He’s absolutley shite. Him and Binks are all over the place constantly and Thomas is always putting us into trouble

 

[Matt smith]

He’s absolutley shite. Him and Binks are all over the place constantly and Thomas is always putting us into trouble

Opinions, Thomas is good

How many times has he saved us with vital blocks etc

 

[Ashdown]

Lampard or any other highly paid feck isn’t going to get a consistent tune out of this bunch of misfits. You’re not gonna turn the likes of Mason Clarke and Thomas Assante ( cunty doubled barrelled named nonsense) wasters into great strikers without casting a magic spell on them

 

[Evo1883]

He’s absolutley shite. Him and Binks are all over the place constantly and Thomas is always putting us into trouble

Thomas is definitely not shite

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

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.

We jump between hopeless and decent at the drop of a hat.

Mason Clark just needs a run of games ffs

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Thomas is definitely not shite

How many goals have we conceded recently when the ball comes in from the left and a striker gets in behind him.

because he’s blood and thunder he gets a lot more leeway than other CB, fact is he’s part of an extremely leaky poor defence

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Agree to disagree. The entirety of this defence is poor.

 

[SBT]

He’s shown absolutely nothing to deserve it

Like Lati being miles out of position at the weekend?

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

He’s shown absolutely nothing to deserve it

Top of the offside goal charts

 

[Matt smith]

He’s shown absolutely nothing to deserve it

Play him left wing and I think he’ll come good

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Like Lati being miles out of position at the weekend?

Exactly. It’s not a left side or right side problem. The whole defence is just extremely unorganised

 

[pusbccfc]

Thomas is definitely not shite

Don't think he's particularly good either.

At least he didn't give the ball away multiple times tonight, like usual.

 

[Ashdown]

Play him left wing and I think he’ll come good

He keeps running offside……on that left wing, did you watch it ?

 

[Evo1883]

And yet last season he was part of the 9th best defence , so the regression is probably not down to a young bobby thomas , we conceded 12 goals in our last 6 games we were one of the better defences in the league

 

[Cally Fedora]

Thomas has a place. He’ll make the odd block and head the odd goal. But he’s so limited defensively, especially positionally. Reminds me a lot of Paul Williams. Gives his all but often does his best work correcting his own mess.

 

[SBT]

Play him left wing and I think he’ll come good

He’s played left wing the last two games and done absolutely nothing in either

£4 million

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Agree to disagree. The entirety of this defence is poor.

MVE the right wing back who can't cross
Dasilva the left wing back who can cross but can't defend
All the CBs who just ball watch and lose their men
3 goalkeepers none of whom can stay in the side for more than a handful of games at a time

Total mess.

 

[Nick]

Fucking hell, CWR messages are comedy though.

 

[Matt smith]

Yeah I watched it, I think in a couple months time you’ll think differently on him, just my opinion.
