Fewer shots on target and did little with possession except get pressed into giving the ball away.We had more shots, more possession and gifted them a goal in the first half.
Last season, our record against the top half teams was bad. Unlike this season, however, we usually beat the teams we were above.You sure ? Our midfield is nowhere near top 6 , and the back line definitely not
In terms of wingers and strikers , possibly yes
Possession is the last refuge of the damned. They should have gone in 2 or 3 ahead, we gifted so many chances that weren’t converted.We had more shots, more possession and gifted them a goal in the first half.
Neil Warnock until end of seasonI’m not sure, and as I’ve said robins is a club legend
I just think it’s time for someone else to try and get the best out of this squad
You think far too much of yourselves for that mate.Wednesday fans will have the white hoods and crucifixes out celebrating their win tonight - c*nts
We weren’t bullied. We looked the better team throughout, but if you’re going to concede stupid goals, you’re not going to win very often.
The second half should’ve been them playing for an equaliser and we get opportunities to catch them out. But no, another embarrassing goal gifted and they get to put 10 men behind the ball to get a smash and grab win.
We look like England in the Euros in attack, running out of ideas quickly. Unlike that team, we just can’t defend.
We spent £45m on this lot. It should be better than where we are.
From good to bad?It's not a huge change though?
Kitching struggled big time today even ignoring his assist. Too slow, too flat footed and makes poor decisions with where he’s heading the ball.And despite our defence being leaky as fuck last season we haven’t improved it
Clearly the whole team is underperforming, but we've spent a hell of a lot of money on players the last couple of years, so it certainly should be. MVE was wanted by a top Dutch club (was it Feyenoord?), Simms was wanted by Brentford, Wright is our record signing, Sheaf is talked about as one of the best midfielders in the division. Think we're weak defensively (albeit with potential) but, yes, we shouldn't be just outside the bottom 3. Should be closer to top than bottom given the spend and the individual quality we have. We've seen the vast majority of these players perform at this level over the last 2 years. We look a shadow of last year with largely the same players.Is it ? That's an incredible take based off performances this season
We spent money on Binks, who couldn’t get in the team last seasonWe needed to put more money into central midfield and centre half by the looks of it , I say money but experience more than anything
If Bidwell hadn’t been injured, dragging off EMC would have been his only change of the game. He surely can’t have watched what was going on and thought nothing had to be done.From good to bad?
Robins is hardly going to say the recruitment was wrong is he.
He's a very good manager and has been brilliant for us. I just can't believe he suddenly doesn't have a clue what he's doing
honourable mentions for doing what?
other than score Rudoni went missing for large periods, but was probably the best of a bad bunch
Sheaf ok in patches, a couple of needed challenges but nothing special
Eccles one decent cross field ball but otherwise shite
The midfield isn’t good enough
EMC and Wright were very poor today. It was like playing with no attacking outlets.
MR is backed into a corner with Bassette/Simms/BTA, he’ll always bring on Simms (and rightly so in some ways) but he doesn’t suit a pressing game, and without changing shape he can’t then get Bassette on the pitch.
And there you’re really arguing for a change of manager.Clearly the whole team is underperforming, but we've spent a hell of a lot of money on players the last couple of years, so it certainly should be. MVE was wanted by a top Dutch club (was it Feyenoord?), Simms was wanted by Brentford, Wright is our record signing, Sheaf is talked about as one of the best midfielders in the division.

Hope you manage to celebrate your cup final win without racially abusing anyone or mocking the deadYou think far too much of yourselves for that mate.
Why did you boo another black player for being fouled?You think far too much of yourselves for that mate.
I said during the game we needed to get Lati on for EMC and play wing backs as our formation just wasn’t workingIf Bidwell hadn’t been injured, dragging off EMC would have been his only change of the game. He surely can’t have watched what was going on and thought nothing had to be done.
That or just switch to a flat midfield 3 so we’re not asking defensive duties from players who can’t execute themI said during the game we needed to get Lati on for EMC and play wing backs as our formation just wasn’t working
Order free agents like Alan Browne that we fucked about on.We needed to put more money into central midfield and centre half by the looks of it , I say money but experience more than anything
I understand the desire for a number two. But in all honesty I’m not sure it changes much.The usual absolute garbage coming out on here- “the players can’t be bothered”, “this is a top six squad”, “a new manager would get much better results- rubbish.
nothing has changed, there is still something very rotten going on, but with each match you kind of get a bit more of an idea as to what’s causing it all.
1. If Wright is off form we create nothing and are impotent going forward.
2. The squad is blatantly not as good as we were all assuming & hoping
3. we have a massive hole in terms of leadership
4. The new coaching setup at this stage is a failure. Either Robins isn’t listening to them or they have no meaningful input.
5. The players are unable to adapt in matches, appear totally bereft of confidence, and have no discipline in terms of getting pulled all over the place, they don’t look cohesive at all.
Solutions?
King isn’t going to start offloading coaching staff or authorising another huge spending spree.
So.. get an experienced head in asap, someone that can lead, and someone that can bark at people, and someone Robins trusts
apart from that I don’t see what else can be done, aside from get a new manager, and I don’t want that.
there’s still a part of me that thinks “it’ll be ok, it’s like this every year”, but so much has changed that I’m not sure this holds any more.
Mark Robins has just said it must change, it has to change, well your the Manager, F**king change it then.
I understand the desire for a number two. But in all honesty I’m not sure it changes much.
Was sat in corporate so saw the coaches going up to Robins all game and giving him their views (a lot of them were having a go at the CMs for getting dragged).
If a new assistant comes in, more than likely it’ll take them a while to settle and even then it’s just more voices to add.
Surely Robins need to get control of them. Think anyways it more likely we will only get a assistant with a new manager.
Order free agents like Alan Browne that we fucked about on.
We’re our own worst enemy at times.
