We need to pressure Preston when they're on the ball, they've progressed it to our final 3rd so easily. They're not going to come and press us hard when they're 3 nil up

Chief Commentator!
Think this team have their minds on the cup game, and the ironic thing is most probably won’t even be lined up to play
Changes at HT, not because I think we will pull it back, but just to make a point
Da Silva not offered anything
Binks, still not sure how he kept his place over Kitching return
Wilson, no idea why the GK position was changed and Collins must be smug right now about being dropped
Shame to lose Tats, just fell awkwardly but ref unable to determine genuine injuries against one’s feind
Nothing up too, Hadji and Simms don’t work
Palmer and Ohare together unlikely to do much as too similar
Eccles, only thing I like about his game is he doesn’t pansy about when taking set pieces from a certain spot. Just puts it down and kicks it. I say kicks it rather than cross it as more often than not his set pieces are awful, but the set up is ok (but of a shit sandwich compliment going on there for him
)

If we're going to replace Bidwell it can be with someone else in the summer, Dasilva cannot start at left back again. As for Wilson, completely set the tone for the half, he panics the defence, he flaps about, and every time he kicks the ball it goes the opposition. An utterly hopeless keeper and the sooner Robins corrects his mistake of sticking him back in the better.

Thought that going to be a poem, Pete, at first glance. Disappointed with the rhyming.

We’ve had some decent chances to pull a goal back.
Pull an early goal back and we could make this a close game.

Lati has to come off. Either Torp if he's capable or Kelly can't be any worse.

How pathetic can you get?
I said that they are a big strong side that will play a high press. Correct. Or would you like to try and make this out to be wrong.
I said Wilson in goal because his handling is better. At no time did I say Wilson is the better keeper. I said Collins is the best shot stopper and his distribution is better. Would you like to show where I said Wilson is the better keeper? Of course not. You love to make tour own story up.
And yes I now live outside the UK so rely on ifollow. Is that a crime?

The defenders look nervous as well. Doesn't seem to be any communication.

King has to take his fair share of the blame. The squad is too small. This is what happens when you have 22 players in your squad. Other teams have over 30. 1 RW who's now injured. 1 RB who's running on fumes. No LW cover. CMs are all crocked. CBs who don't look like top championship defenders. This summer we really need to recruit at least 2 players in every position + capable squad players. 28 players minimum.

Robins is fucked whatever he does. There’s too many games and no enough players and he knew that coming out of the transfer window. He has to rotate more than he’d like and has to hope players coming in can do a job against decent opposition when in truth he knows some of them just aren’t good enough. The alternative is you play the same XI three times in a week and they all get muscle injuries and everyone on here is going mental about him not resting players. The performance tonight has been coming and some of the responsibility for it is in the boardroom.

We've been ok going forward and unlucky not to score a few times. Defence has been a shambles.

Collins was giving me kittens in his last few games the way he was panicking and kicking it any old where. Not yet convinced he's a clear improvement on Wilson in that respect.

Robins obviously trusts him by making him captain, another average player Robins will try and shoe horn into the team at every opportunity like Da Silva

If there was ever a half that was a cry for a bigger squad that was it.

Worst half of football I have seen from us is in a long, long time. We look liked we’ve been paid off to throw the game.
Dasilva is a complete fucking liability, pathetic excuse for a ‘defender’. Get him off at HT and never start him again.
Starting Wilson equally as calamitous. Rooted to his line, dreadful distributions and clearly makes the defence nervous as fuck.
I’ve seen U5s sides with stronger midfields than Latibeaudiere and Eccles.
Another Thomas horror show as well, keeps getting out of position and losing the ball with a dreadful first touch. Binks not great either.
Van Ewijk is shite on the ball considering his pedigree.
Robins got the starting line up wrong and has changed absolutely nothing to combat their tactics. They’ve absolute bullied us while also passing ring around us. Complete shambles of an evening.

Genuinely don’t get the desperation to replace Bidwell and the less said about Wilson the better. He’s arguably one of the worst keepers I’ve seen play for us.
Absolute rubbish

Write it off, take off the main players and give Maidstone a spanking to get this shite out of our system.

This is not Preston being our bogey team. We are bad tonight. Serious concerns about the next few games if we are like this.
Simms is the one who is actually working.

Thomas flatters to deceive a lot of the time because he's committed. I don't see it. So many mistakes. I'd try and get McNally in the summer for that berth. Dasilva shouldn't play for us again. Can't defend.

Making that 5m signing of a player we have to loan back even more questionable
