I think the changes were logical on paper - but they were clearly pre-planned and, ultimately, they disrupted our momentumt sure you can call them ‘spot on’.The subs were bang on. Wright and Eccles had run themselves into the ground. Bassette as well, and Simms was a perfectly logical choice. The way we lost was disappointing, but decisions were spot on.
This thread is an over-reaction.
This was a game in the lesser cup competition and players were taken off with a more important league game on Saturday in mind.
We were also playing a team who were able to bring on top class internationals.
It was a sickening way to lose, but hardly warrants hand-wringing.
it’s beyond weird how you can go on a massive rant after watching that.
It stings to lose like that but it’s weird you’re looking just at the end of the game and not all the chances we missed to go 2.3 or even 4 up.Its really not though, is it?
Yes, it is.Its really not though, is it?
Its not even just that game, we are fucking awful at trying to kill games and shithousing but we see it every week against us.
Robins has his pre planned subs that happen regardless of what's going on in the game.
Yes, it is.
we won’t play much better than that all season, we just totally outplayed a pretty top club, and bar a couple of bad mistakes we’d have won reasonably comfortably.
it’s fuck all to do with Robins, the coaches, or anyone else- we played really really well, and managed to screw it up right at the end. Which is no disgrace against that team, and all this angry posturing, stamping of feet, complaining- it’s weird.
Shithousing doesn't win matches. Avoiding big mistakes does.Its really not though, is it?

It does when you are winning them.Shithousing doesn't win matches. Avoiding big mistakes does.
Again. It’s not just this game is it?
Its very relevant at 1-1 with a couple of minutes to go, in the game, tonight.We’re talking about this game, tonight, and you’re off on a weird tangent coming out with stuff that doesn’t even make sense. Game management is totally irrelevant, it was a bad pass, loss of possession, and bang- we concede the winner a few seconds later. Absolutely nothing to do with ‘game management’.
you can say we dominated but didn’t take our chances, you can say that we gifted them a goal, but it’s weird to come out windmilling obsessing over ‘game management’.
Its very relevant at 1-1 with a couple of minutes to go, in the game, tonight.
Again- can you explain what ‘game management’ has to do with a dodgy pass & losing possession leading to the goal?
Or the ref adds loads of time on and you concede in the 7th minute of injury time.It does when you are winning them.
We needed to stop their momentum when they were clearly going to score again.
What happened with wrights chance was it blockedIf Wright scores an open goal or we take any of the other myriad chances then the end of the game’s irrelevant.
You just have to take your chances, twice in 5 days it’s cost us a result.
Yep, but he had time to just pick his spot. Snatched at itWhat happened with wrights chance was it blocked
Should have been red and free kick anyway
Eccles was good tonight. Bassette is raw and full of beans but has some way to go. Allen just has no real effect on the game.Don't know why he to Bassette, Eccles and Rudoni off, they played out there skin, surely Bassette needed 90 mins under his belt, that fucked us up, Allen didn't do a thing and stayed on
Fucksake people just can’t see it can they. It was a great performance overall but when push comes to shove we have to be more savvy in closing out games. If the subs were brought on individually then you are stop starting their increasing momentum . Instead all we did was fuck up our own balanceWe needed to stop their momentum when they were clearly going to score again.
And what has that got to do with the bad pass, and how does said bad pass relate to these thousands of coaching staff that you’re so obsessed with?
The way you’re seeing this makes no sense whatsoever. Had we scored a couple of simple chances it wouldn’t have been an issue anyway- is that game management too? The coaching staff?
It wasn't just a badly executed pass, it was the wrong pass for that point in the game which I think is what some may mean when they say game management.And what has that got to do with the bad pass, and how does said bad pass relate to these thousands of coaching staff that you’re so obsessed with?
The way you’re seeing this makes no sense whatsoever. Had we scored a couple of simple chances it wouldn’t have been an issue anyway- is that game management too? The coaching staff?
It makes perfect sense.
I'm talking about when it was 1-1. We just did fuck all about it.
As for obsessed. Glad you see you're obsessed with me again.
ParanoidNo not obsessed- I think you’re talking rubbish so I’m saying so, most other people look like they’re seeing it similar to how I saw it- so no need to debate anything. You’re a very paranoid type of person, aren’t you? But if you’re getting uncomfortable I’ll leave you to it.
The players they brought on didn’t create the chance though our fuck up under no pressure didWe lost Really because of a mistake , we can't expect spurs to bring on the players they did and expect to not concede a chance .. we tired a bit , fell naturally deeper and their subs were the difference.
We had the chances to win the match
The players they brought on didn’t create the chance though our fuck up under no pressure did
We have to give praise for a fabulous effort but reflect on some poor decision making. There is always room for improvement!so what I'm getting from this thread is that everything good that happens is nothing to do with the management & coaching team, everything bad that happens is entirely their fault
It wasn’t an open goalIf Wright scores an open goal or we take any of the other myriad chances then the end of the game’s irrelevant.
