Oggy would praise a 6-0 loss and say it wasn’t 7
To be fair fans can be incredibly irrational at times .. the last caller just said he'd never seen a player a poor as haji wright

I'm getting to the conclusion that Robins does not know what to do, something seems to work but he's unsure why it did. The system we switched to last season only worked well with certain players with certain attributes which we just don't have. We have no clear pattern of play apart from going side to side and a hopeful cross. It's unclear what the strategy is behind most of the summer signings, nobody appears to be a perfect fit. What's Robins' role in this process?

Robins has gone from subs for the sake of it to only necessary ones (Bidwell should have come off 20 minutes earlier). Sheaf was clearly struggling and was left on which contributed to the farce for their goal, he was on a yellow so didn't drag the man down which he should have.

Simms just hasn't got it, he doesn't have any real instinct, he's second to everything, he offered nothing at all when he came on. Crosses come in and he doesn't attack the space they're likely to go into.

Extremely disappointing and it just feels like we're getting to the end of the line, the special connection between fans and players will fade or already is fading and we're more likely to revert to a lower mid table side than anything else.

With 10 mins to go their manager is making changes and riling they're players up

Ours is sat with his arms crossed with 4 coaches on thr bench rubbing their hands to keep warm.

Eccles not taking the red for their goal. That's where we miss an experienced head. Majority at this level take the second yellow.

I will need to see their disallowed goal back but Wilson went flying and missed it.

Didn't look like much was wrong.

Should have been a sign to change things up

Simms scored 19 goals last season. He played 20 minutes. Other games he has played, been played as a lone striker.

Nonsense Pete. Correct result, should have lost by 3 or 4 at least.

Spineless performance and the manager stood and let it happen. So poor from players and manager.
What match was Pete watching? We had a 10 minute spell where we actually went for it.
I agree - Robins just stood and watched us lose every 50/50 ball and lose pretty every midlfield battle. I was right next to where they celebrated the winner too. Painful.

disallowed goal was definitely a foul, Wilson was pushed into the goal

their 2nd wasn’t off though, I think it was a perfectly good goal

EMC, Wright and Bobby Thomas. 3 of the most disgraceful professional footballer performances i have ever seen today.

EMC has been a shambles. Lazy talentless oaf. Wright didn’t look bothered, and Thomas is a liability
