Not sure what’s more annoying. The performance or how long it took to get out of Tesco’s !

Still not home

but performance was awful midfield was non existent

 

[CCFCSteve]

Collection of individuals, no cohesion, no one can fucking win a header, this Dovin to Binks to Eccles to Binks to the opposition shit has to stop, Simms isnt totally to blame up front but offers very little when its not put on a plate for him.
More than anything though the set up and coaching is eratic at best, shambolic at worst.
Don’t get me started on Eccles and Torp
Sort it out Robins !

Id go as far to say Eccles was probably the best player on the pitch first half. Torp also decent. Midfield got overran in second and think that was as much Norwich’s tactical changes and other City players not doing their jobs

 

[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

Bassette let’s be honest looked very raw and contributed very little

Yeah but Let's be Fair, he didn't get a Killer Pass from a Shit Midfield.

 

[Evo1883]

Did he actually say that?

not in the context being given no

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Its a tricky old league this with fortunes changing each year. Frankly my first target is the circa 50pts to stay up as always

We finished last season in worse form than Rotherham and have started this one in relegation form also. Quite a return on the huge amount spent.

 

[CCFCSteve]

Did he actually say that?

No, he thought we played pretty well first half but was pissed off with second half performance. Said players werent tracking runners and working hard enough, but said it wasn’t as bad as when they beat us 3-0 when we didn’t lay a glove on them

Wright was our best player by a country mile

 

[Macca]

Not much point spending millions if you either spend it badly or can't get the best put of the players

 

[Skybluekyle]

Norwich will not have an easier game defending than today. Our press is awful, always just seems to be one man, allowing Norwich the opportunity to just pass it round him.

Twice Norwich played a terrible pass in their final third but we were caught on our heels and let them get away with it. I am usually quite understanding, but that is just pathetic what I saw today.

 

[bigfatronssba]

The performance today warrants criticism, and the start has been poor.

But we all know what will happen. A few weeks from now we’ll get a few undeserved wins, confidence will then build, and we’ll go on a good run. It’s the same every year.


The second half was dreadful I know, but in trying to look at the positives I’d say the defence is looking better on last season.

Only because Norwich were shit
The worst Norwich team I have seen in 50 years +

thought they were worse last season tbh

WE HAVE NOT GOT A CENTRE HALF

 

[Skyblue Bangkok]

If this happens week after week, then it’s Robins fault.

If it's not Robins fault why have a manager, save the salary then.

 

[Tommo1993]

Wright was our best player by a country mile

Fuck me. I’m convinced I was watching a different game. He wasn’t at all. This is laughable.

 

[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

Thomas and Kitch just provide stature and presence that the other two don't

Yeah and when and If Mark Robins puts them back in the Team, they won't be Match Fit.

 

[shmmeee]

What has Simms done?

Rather Bassette or Wright than BTA.

 

[GIMOC]

prime example of our lack of creativity and attacking ability

Bristol City conceded 3 against Millwall and 3 today and we played in between those games and barley threatened them last week

 

[rob9872]

This is what we do. If you've not worked it out yet I don't know what you're watching. Keep it tight first half, but hope to nick it, we have game changers on the bench. Other teams tire, we become stronger. It's happened almost every game so far.

fuck me. just sharing info. would you want me to lie and say he’s out 1 week to make you happy? some people on here

Perhaps you should have instead of spouting more doom and gloom. Robins said training in the week back for Watford.

I'll stick with his information, you stick to the casual racism.

robins says a lot of things to divert the truth

if you believed robins today we didn’t try to buy anyone yesterday

 

[fernandopartridge]

Thomas is wank

Clueless

 

[shmmeee]

Clueless

That too

 

[rob9872]

As do you with your agenda against the club. Please fuck off and when you get there fuck off again

lol - so you can’t engage in conversation just starting ranting. brilliant deflection

 

[rob9872]

Not at all. You proved on the TR thread you're a racist prick and I'm fed up of your negative posts on City. You're basically a c**t

Think that’s 100% true.

 

[GIMOC]

Think that’s 100% true.

which then makes the sale of palmer even more strange?

 

[rob9872]

Yeah let's keep an unhappy disruptive player who doesn't want to be here when we can get money for them.

 

[Tommo1993]

which then makes the sale of palmer even more strange?

Yep. But I think we sold Palmer because we wanted to sell Palmer. Robins was diplomatically, subtly touching on attitudes more and more. Lightens the books.

 

[HuckerbyDublinWhelan]

If Dennis Lawrence and Vivaesh were why we were good, and Robins doesn’t have anything to do with recruitment - as according to some on here

What has Robins contributed?

 

[StrettoBoy]

Oxford beat these 3-0

Despite our recent wins against them, Oxford are a decent side.

They are in the top third and The Blades only need a draw at home to Watford tomorrow to consign us to the bottom third.

Oxford beat PNE, a side we hardly ever beat, 3-1 this afternoon.

I do think we will finish above Oxford in the final table but at the moment they are in better form than us.

Yes there's some awful takes on robins tbh

 

[Grendel]

If he effectively forced a move and downed tools what do you do?

 

[GIMOC]

Yeah let's keep an unhappy disruptive player who doesn't want to be here when we can get money for them.

it’s called man management
