Go and find 3 goals that were specifically to do with our shape.
Go and find 3 goals that were specifically to do with our shape.Saying that our shape had nothing to do with the goals we concede is something I'm sure Andy Thorn used to think
Infact I'm positive he did because he stuck despite its flaws
We were 3 points off Barnsley at 6Fucking hell up to 19th and 5 pts off Barnsley despite hsving played all top 7 and prem relegated teams after coming off double promotion
Yet that Barnsley lad knows more than robins lmao you slimey cunts should be ashamed of yourselves

Abother good point!!!
Felt we looked comfortable all game long so annoyed to concede but this team doesnt give up and nice strike from hamer!!
I love way we play, so easy on eye.
Some thoughts:
Shipley is a passenger again. He always lets his man get away and is sloppy with even simple passes
Did mcallum have to go off? Goal came from a cross in thay corner. I thought mcallum was v good again though some sloppy mistakes today he needs to cut out
Kelly is playing really well although sometimes he passes like a pub player lol
O hare must sort out his finishing. It is costing us points
Wilson looks so assured. Marosi may have to wait to return at this rate!
Dabo looking kike Dabo of old
Good away point!!!
Difference is if we’re championship he goes for 5x more than what we’ll get in league oneOnly thing I grow convinced by every week is that Hamer will not be a City player next season. Whether we’re Championship or L1.
What you're actually saying is we had at any given time 1 player out of position in the back line...
Lads I'm all for playing whatever formation gets results... If it's wingbacks so be it.... But the fact is we shipped a ton of goals... Am I losing my mind here or are people being willfully blind to this

No I don’t think you are losing your mind - But the formation was not the problem in early season - as others have pointed out there were other factors including match fitness, individual errors, no RWB and Kelly out.
We’ve looked by far at our best with 3 at the back in recent games with Dabo and Giles liberated to run at defenders and provide an out ball.
Whatever that moron Grendel thinks we’ve looked awful with 4 at the back and far from defensively stable.
Honestly, if shape had nothing to do with it... Robins would still be playing ut every week... Wouldn't he?
I'm not about to go on YouTube and analyse the 20 odd goals we've conceded this season.
No I'm just on about 7 in the 3 games before he chose to explore 4 at the back. 2 penalties, 2 from set pieces, 1 from Sheaf giving the ball away, 1 from McCallum being beaten on the right and 1 in stoppage time when we were 3-1 up.
Tell me how it's the formation that caused all of those. Robins saw we were shipping goals and wanted to do something about it. In my view he spent his time on the wrong thing as we're now investing time in something that makes us toothless in attack
Yeah he needs to sort itIs Ohare going to get slaughtered as much as biamou did when he missed 2 sitters. Doubt it.
Ohare is making a habit last few games of missing some glorious chances.

I agree our passing was poor in the whole game. I honestly didn't see 'wave after wave' of attacks though. What I did see though was a poor defensive game from Dabo. In his his defence, the way he was holding back from tackles suggested to me that he he still isn't fully fit.The second half was wave after wave of them coming at us and us returning possession soon after getting it back. When we play that way it needs someone to find killer passes or Walker to work a minor miracle
A teams system is involved with everything... The passages of play, the attacks the defending.. Ok I can move on individual errors.
But conceding penalties and set pieces are all part of the way the game is playing out... And part of the way the game plays out comes down to your system.... Full......... Stop

Biamou booted the ball down to our half with seconds left to play, O'Hare just waved his arms around defending in the box. Set pieces are nothing to do with formation and entirely down to how the manager chooses to defend them.
And then others continue to ignore that Norwich created hardly anything for most of Saturday's game and even with the injuries put out a much stronger side than Derby did tonight

In the last 3 matches we've played flat back 4 we've conceded 5 corners in total
In the 3 matches you mentioned we conceded 17
I agree that that was where their main (only) threat was coming from.It did just seem like they were attacking us down the flank every couple of minutes, whether or not a chance eventually came from each phase
I agree with that. All our problems came from their wing play. Happy enough with that as long as Dabo learns enough of the 'black arts' to stop opposing forwards.It did just seem like they were attacking us down the flank every couple of minutes, whether or not a chance eventually came from each phase

We played wing backs against Norwich and apart from 5 minutes they didn't really have a sniff
I think there was one 20 seconds into the seasonGo and find 3 goals that were specifically to do with our shape.
I know but like you said, them 3 matches
Every match the system plays a role in the outcome...I think there was one 20 seconds into the season
Because you harrassed me for about 20 minutes about 3 matches mate lolSo why doesn't Norwich count?
Every match the system plays a role in the outcome...
Because you harrassed me for about 20 minutes about 3 matches mate lolthen I start to get into detail about why we conceded so many in those matches and how the system could have effected the games and you switch it to Norwich... What do you want from me... It's football 101... FormAtions ...they effect the way games play out and that's basics surely
Several relatively knowledgeable posters arguing with me that our formation had nothing to do with the goals conceded in them matches... Absolute tosh.. And frankly an argument I wouldn't expect from my 11 year old
I said in the last 3 games we've played a flat back 4... As in the 3 matches we haveYou just said we played a flat back 4 in the last 3 games when we haven't
You’re right. Before the game a lot of them were saying they would be happy with a point but when we get (earn) the point they’re the first to bitch and complain.Concede goals for fun trying to attack too much and he's vilified , stop conceding go on an unbeaten 4 game run and he's vilified
I'm glad he's in charge and not some of the drama queens on here
No they wontRotherham will beat us if we set up like that Saturday
You think the way we are playing is easy on the eye ?
But who’s counting?My summary of the game has attracted 15 likes so far - you and BSB are well liking each other’s posts
let’s leave it there
