Pretty slow as usual but I don’t think it was an awful performance, going to a back 4 definitely helped (still don’t rate 5 at the back), but our home record for the team that we have is abysmal.

It's fair. People who were critical a few weeks ago were getting dogs abuse on Saturday.

We've now gone back to the exact garbage we have watched for the majority of the past 6 odd months.

We can all be positive after two decent wins but there's very little to defend tonight. It was so bad. You know it's bad when we pull one back with 15 minutes to go and the fans can't even be bothered to get behind them. The home fans really aren't happy with this.

Plenty of boos. Nobody singing about robins.

 

[Matt smith]

How can you play so well Saturday but so poor today?

Attitude, these players just rock up when they want

 

[Briles]

I guess you didn't watch the game?

Yeah I did

 

[gspotgaz]

You wouldn’t mind as much if we actually gave it a go from the off trying to create chances but to only start playing with any urgency at 0-2 shows there’s something mentally off massively with this group

 

[HuckerbyDublinWhelan]

You say that but this lot will probably pull results out their ares against the likes of Sunderland and Sheffield United but turn up like a bunch of wet lettuce against dross like Derby.

So weird

It’s because we don’t know how to deal with the 11 men behind the ball. We’ll get space against Sunderland.

We’ll get something there

 

[OldBedrocker]

What the actual f**k is this I’m watching; how can we turn Luton over after being 2 down and then put the ball on Boro’s net 6 times (3 disallowed) and serve this up against a fellow struggling team?!

Anyone?

Mentally weak top to bottom

Did we play that well Saturday?

We started well then looked worrying at times vs 10 men.

 

[covmark]

We will have to agree to disagree then.

I am not trying to put a positive spin on things. We were awful first half and played much better, the second. Still wasn't a great performance, but it was much better and we were getting in behind them

Wright had a number of chances tonight. At least four from memory.

Fair enough. Imo we deserved to lose.

 

[Perennial Lurker]

Our defense is fucking shit mate.
We'll do nothing until we sort it out

The worst part of it is MvE is totally lost as a wingback with noone in front of him . As a full back he is one of the best in the division

 

[pusbccfc]

Plenty of boos. Nobody singing about robins.

Yep. The home fans are very close to properly turning.

4 home losses already against the opposition we've played against is not good enough.

Robins doesn’t know how to set up a side to successfully attack a team sitting in.

 

[shmmeee]

Absolutely shocking. Look lethargic, lacking in confidence. No one wants the ball, no one want to take on a man or try a pass, just left to right among the CBs until we get bored and aimlessly lump it. No movement, defensively shocking, scared to shoot, second to everything.

Sick of one step forward and two back with this squad. And it’s all mentality. They just seem like a bunch of pussies.

 

[covcity4life]

Absolute state of this

He's really not written anything that bad

 

[Saddlebrains]

Fucking wrong un

Youre one n all

 

[Nick]

Mve was the worst of the lot.

 

[Otis]

What? It worked because they won and stopped us getting a shot on target for most of the game.

Maybe we only won against Boro because their player got sent off? Same with Luton?

I am saying you can't have a game plan of the opposition gifting you a goal.

The second was a very heavy deflection.

Dovin had nothing to do.

Once Derby went ahead, their game plan then was very good. Otherwise it was trying to defend for a point and the hope of a breakaway goal.

 

[covcity4life]

Can't all be the group of players. Robins didn't change the tactic till past hour gone

 

[Saddlebrains]

You are an absolute fucking disgrace , revelling in a loss just to score points on a forum

Alright when it's against those of us who dare say we're shit though hey

 

[PVA]

He's really not written anything that bad

Disagree. Doesn't matter what pelters he was getting, he's revelling in us getting beat so he can say fuck you to someone. That's just nuts

 

[Alkhen]

Yep probably right I'm getting the worst parts of Southgates England vibes this season.

Rudoni cost us that game 100% who makes a passback that far out without looking. Needs pelters and a fine so he never does that again

 

[HuckerbyDublinWhelan]

Robins doesn’t know how to set up a side to successfully attack a team sitting in.

It’s the style of play we’ve adopted. We play a control possession - low risk passing game.

eventually we get pressed when we’re passing side to side, and we don’t have anyone to push and break through the lines

 

[Perennial Lurker]

Robins doesn’t know how to set up a side to successfully attack a team sitting in.

Some of our players just aren't brave enough to play a pass into a player in a tight area

 

[Ashdown]

We just can’t play against piss poor teams. Its like, take away any expectation and we have a chance. Put out decent opponents and they want to compete. The whole body language, first half was wrong!

 

[shmmeee]

They played the ball forwards and shot. When you do that you get flukey offsides and deflections.

 

[Saddlebrains]

Absolute state of this

Alright last Saturday after Luton though weren't it

 

[Sky Blue Goblin]

I said I would be positive and give robins until the international break.

But fuck me how do you be positive after that. More annoyed at robins got out thought today and changed it so late.

Centrebacks abused by them doubling up on them, wingbacks inefficient against the RB and LB.

The lack of less confused us and made us slow the pace down several times.

Annoyed as shit performances happen but tactically we were out thought and that just annoyed the shit out of me

 

[Otis]

Fair enough. Imo we deserved to lose.

We did deserve to lose. I agree

Just saying we were much better in the second half and created a number of chances. We also should have had two pens.

 

[Perennial Lurker]

Alright when it's against those of us who dare say we're shit though hey

Enjoy it tonight with your "mate" . Did he make room for you on his lap tonight ?

 

[clint van damme]

Alright when it's against those of us who dare say we're shit though hey

Some, including you, seem to take delight in us being shit so your doom and gloom predictions come true.
It's fucking weird. And I don't give a fuck whether you agree with me or not.

 

[Nick]

Torp does but he got dropped

 

[covcity4life]

Disagree. Doesn't matter what pelters he was getting, he's revelling in us getting beat so he can say fuck you to someone. That's just nuts

Think he's more making point that he shouldn't be shouted down for saying we ain't v good.

Don't get tme wrong I disagree with him alot and he is proven wrong sometimes but right now it's silly to pretend this club is good or bad based on solely results. The performances are not there it's that simple. Win draw or lose.

 

[Ashdown]

What the fuck could Dovin do there?! Weird target, he had nothing to do.

Rudoni gave him a ridiculous back-pass and the second one took a massive looping deflection

Yes I know but look at his overall record, its shabby and certainly no better than Wilson .

 

[David O'Day]

Well that was wank

There's a chance you can, yes.
