[Darth Robins]

Is this ref determined to try and make VAR look good or something? They've been fucking shocking all year.

Initial contact for penalty was outside the area. We look all over the place and Hull deserve to be in front, albeit fortunate. Thomas and Eccles look particularly leggy. Wanted Palmer to get more involved being the fresh player and then he came up with a corker. Needs to be the main man second half.
Really can't see us scoring unless a set piece and unfortunately cannot see them not scoring second half.
Obviously need to use the bench early and hope if Simms comes on the crowd will rally again.

Godden has done so much for us but he's finished at this level isn't he? Just doesn't offer anything up there at all.

Thank God we're moving beyond him in the summer. He's unwatchable, just offers nothing.

What did Moore do so wrong that Wilson and Collins didn’t?

 

[procdoc]

We have no pace. Get MVE, Simms and Wright at half time. Take off Dasilva, Lati and Godden

 

[Esoterica]

Lati is fine.

He's fading more as the season goes on but this is by far the largest number of games he's played in a season. He's only 24 and can play multiple positions. A great asset to the squad.

Eccles gets let off with a lot for being young and there is 3 months between them.

Lati can't play multiple positions, it's a myth. He can't pass the ball forwards with any pace or accuracy. He's shit in midfield, too ponderous with the ball for a RB and too short for a CB in a back 2. At championship level he's a right sided centre back in a back 3, at best.

 

[Dickie]

Surely Robins will make changes at half time…

[Grendel]

Is that what the rule is? Only stop play for a head injury if they need treatment?

If it was a hull player we’d say he’s a cheating bastard

 

[JulianDarbyFTW]

Lati gets rough treatment on here just lately. Don't really get it. He's a decent enough squad player.

More annoyed at the referee. Dubious decisions will have cost us the playoffs and the cup final in the space of 3 days. Feels like we're being kicked while we're down.

 

[mark82]

The tackle was just idiotic and tbh looked in real time a penalty

Yeah, I'd agree with that. Stupid tackle and looked a penalty. No criticism of the referee as it's even hard to tell with a replay.

 

[Nick]

That's awful refereeing

 

[TomRad85]

He completely fell to pieces, I think you might be misremembering how bad it was.

It’s been as bad as you’d expect given the line up. Godden is basically being asked to be our entire attack by himself. Palmer has been anonymous and Dasilva and Eccles don’t look like they know where they’re meant to be playing.

 

[SonofErnie]

This is stubborn Robins tonight. He doesn’t want the playoffs and is making his point on the squad depth.

 

[djr8369]

That was shite. 1 shot all game, a 20 yard freekick. Created absolute zero from open play.

Brilliant freekick by Palmer, but he's been shite, as has Godden, Dasilva, Lati, Kelly and Collins.

Eccles our best player by far.

Thomas has to go straight down or carry on. He got up, saw where hull were and went back down to stop play.

If you're going to play a lone striker, you have to have players who are willing to get up and around them and make runs in behind. Palmer wants to play too deep, Dasilva is a left back, and Eccles is doing his best. Godden is so isolated.

Kelly has been decent I think. Eccles has been great but then he’s leaving Lati stranded.

 

[Liquid Gold]

Eccles is far superior to lati , far far superior

Eccles performances this season have vastly exceeded Lati's what utter nonsense.

Ive not compared their contributions. I've compared their age.

 

[PVA]

Sometimes managers are overly protective of footballers , they're the fittest specimen on the planet ..are you saying Thomas is fine but all the attackers aren't? Let's be real

Well not all players are the same, but even ignoring that I'd say Wright, Simms, O'Hare and MVE all did more running on Sunday than Thomas.

I'm amazed Sheaf is playing, probably wouldn't be if Torp was fit.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Struggling to understand how their man wasn’t sent off, horrible challenge.

 

[mark82]

All opposition players are.

 

[fernandopartridge]

It's a penalty, what on earth is he doing?

 

[Evo1883]

It was the fact he delayed going down , looked at the ref holding his cheek , then went down holding the top of his head .. the blag failed and it cost us .. another reason for footballers to stop trying to con the ref

He's 24 mate , Rooney was tearing the world up at 17

 

[mark82]

Actually, does look just inside there.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

So he had treatment?

Nope but he got up then fell over then tried to get up again and fell over again
He didn’t then get up until the ref had given the pen

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

It worked for a Hull player last season going down in the opposite corner to where the ball was

He wouldn't have got back in time to make a difference anyway. He was clipped to be fair.

Is it the directive? I’m not talking about hypothetical situations.

 

[David O'Day]

This he wasn't okay

But not tonight sadly .. it's about time we stopped setting up to NOT LOSE , its costing us multiple points

 

[PVA]

What did Moore do so wrong that Wilson and Collins didn’t?

He made 4 howlers in 3 consecutive games.

Wilson and Collins make their 3 howlers over 20 games cos they're amazing.

Collins should be dropped though.

 

[Liquid Gold]

He's 24 mate , Rooney was tearing world cups up at 17

And Jamie Vardy was laying bricks. Players develop and different paces.

I don't think it's helpful to rule out a player who has played 40 games for us, the most in his career, in a season that we've pushed playoffs and got to an FA Cup semi.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

I don’t understand what you’re going on about
And I’m told it’s serious injury not head injury that’s stopped now

But we can all appreciate 24 is approaching their prime years , he's not a kid
