Couldn't agree more ... Otis spot on here ... my sentiments exactly ... think 7th likely ... but just not good enough on any given day ... L2 it is ...
Nailing my flag to the mast here. We are just not good enough.
I still think we will make the playoffs, but we are going to need a hell of a lot of luck to get to the final.
The defence has now become shocking, an accident waiting to happen. We are also being out-muscled by teams regularly across the park, apart from JCH and Doyle.
I think we will probably make the top 7, but unless the gods are shining down on us and we get a real rub of the green, this team will be playing League Two football again next season.
We are failing too often and there is a total lack of consistency.
JCH has some aggression but spends most of his time on his arseThere's no aggression apart from Doyle in our team.
Yrs they all played the dark arts better than us tonight. EVERY player to a man just bullied us, ref didn't help. Took him til stoppage time to finally start booking their players, then went card happy.McDonald needs to learn how to kick the likes of Rhead

I think the problem was we needed just about a new team for this season so had to go with Burge again, possibly as number 2 but after O'Briens gaffs in comes Mr Bean in goal for us again, hopefully next season a new goalie is a must along with a dominant attacking midfielder and a striker that can bully and score goals, new left backs and right back tooRe The Great Keeper Debate, Last season (and many before but last season most importantly) most said we needed to invest in the GK area. Teams don’t get places playing young keepers unless they are world class.
I remember when we played Wigan in the first game of last season. They started with the ex Walsall keeper, can’t recall his name, after he moved to them after a great season the year before with Walsall, but an average Walsall who were never going to challenge. By January and through to the end of the season, they had Jaskailainen in goal for them and went on a crazy run earning promotion.
Keepers tend to play longer than outfield players and I think there’s a reason for it. Experience pays off; we only have to look at Doyle to see that (yes, I’ve warmed to him).
No matter what division we are in next season, we must invest in an experienced stopper (along wide LB, RM/W, CM)
Exactly.Yep, he needed to go through him early on, it took Doyle to try and do it.
So much naivety, same with that winger, Haynes or Shipley should have put him in the stands!
Look how they rotated the fouls!
That's Robins' fault according to youExactly.
Petrified of him.
How many bookings or reds have we had for actual bad tackles?
I can imagine mcdonald apologising to strikers for taking the ball off them. Ameobi elbows him in the cock and he does nothing.
It is when we have a team of pussies week in week out. They get away with it as well.That's Robins' fault according to you
Thought it looked like Tom Daley at the time, would need to see it againThoughts on the Biamou ‘penalty shout’ ?
At the time it looked a pen, didn’t help they went straight down and scored the 4th so I probably think it was even more.
Anyone in line at that end?
and last goal's the winnerWe might as well give rush keeper a go.
Booked by the ref for diving, so not sure.Thoughts on the Biamou ‘penalty shout’ ?

It was a great hit, he will never score another one like that. Back four gave him space all night but there are a lot to work on all week which we failed to achievedon't buy this first goal was a cracker, good finish, yes. But it was fucking obvious what they were up to and we should have nipped it in the bud, we should have been working on it all week, but we let them carry on doing it all game.
Booked by the ref for diving, so not sure.
Agreed. This time last season we were saying we needed some dogs of war for this league. We have the ultimate dog in Doyle but ultimately I don't think Robins has recruited enough of this type of player.It is when we have a team of pussies week in week out. They get away with it as well.
Only Doyle tried to play them at their own game tonight.
Look how Notts County bullied us.
None of of strikers looked on form tonight. To be honest we could work out the formation at the start, it see,ed like he was playing two left wingers to try and cover Haynes but they looked confused. We got it all wrong tonightBiamou missed a header from 2 yards. Great save perhaps. They were just more clinical. Few times McNulty wanted an extra touch when he had a chance to shoot or lay off

Hmm, maybe then. I just saw the ref point at him when he went down and their defender was going apeshit at Biamou, accusing him of diving.I thought it was for dissent after the goal?
Get yourself kitted up, you could find you get a game.I'm in the home end Saturday and I'm going to stand behind the dugout and see what Robins actually says to the players during the game, I looked over a few times today and he looked lost with his hands in his pocket.

I'm finding this hard but......I do agree with you here. Too many of them ducked out of all sorts.....Burges attempt to stop their 4th was just cowardice personified.....and at least Doyle as ever tried to fight back !It is when we have a team of pussies week in week out.

Can you let him know he has 3 subs to use as well.
Burge isn't a small fella. He should be taking the ball and strikers.I'm finding this hard but......I do agree with you here. Too many of them ducked out of all sorts.....Burges attempt to stop their 4th was just cowardice personified.....and at least Doyle as ever tried to fight back !
I'll let him know what I think if we're losing and looked as shambolic as we did tonight.

(Don’t forget to do it in a West Country accent!)
Highest finish in decadeAnd where did it get us.
Will have to see it again on the highlights. Don't think I want to see them though.It was a foul and a pen but Biamou didn’t help by going down dramatically.
It was a very blatant dive.Thoughts on the Biamou ‘penalty shout’ ?
