Wrong about what though?
I've started the same number of threads on being unhappy with Robins as you. I've been quite open about being wrong about that, and support Robins.
The performance yesterday was disgraceful but I agree with your OP that there needs to be some perspective, and I certainly wouldn't lay blame at Robins feet. It was just a bit of a freak result.
And, yes, I overreact when we lose. I've always done it, always will. At least I can admit when I'm wrong.
Wrong about what though?
Exactly. That is it in a nutshell.
Oh this is a football thread. Don’t tell me if we leave the EU we will not be allowed to play in the European Championships
But was it a glitch, or did it reveal what kind of team we really have?A terrible game which saw the worst defensive performance by a mile.
There’s zero point in explaining or analysing it. We need to accept we are still in the hunt - robins needs to get heads up and we move on.
I'm not Grendel but my thoughts are, he is good when there is no pressure, he bottles it when there is pressure.Thoughts on Biamou today, Grendel?
Wasn’t there pressure against MK Dons when he scored the only goal in front of 8k Cov fans?I'm not Grendel but my thoughts are, he is good when there is no pressure, he bottles it when there is pressure.
If we are 5-0 down, he's the man to score a wonder goal. But can he score when its 0-0 in the 85th minute?

I don’t particularly rate him, nor Haynes or Burge for that matter, just the constant slandering ‘he only did it because’ against them when they do anything well is embarrassing
Well it's taken 40 games to concede more than 3 so fairly safe to bet on it being a blipBut was it a glitch, or did it reveal what kind of team we really have?

Who gives a flying f*** what he thinks of Biamou? Like he’s some sort of judge of talent?Have a day off. He's done well the last 2 games when he's come on and scored 3 goals in the process. Have enough humility to at least say he's done well on his last couple of appearances. You can do that whilst remaining sceptical over whether he will be good enough in the long term.
If we are talking Biamou then its true he's doesn't score enough for the chances he gets during a game, that is frustrating but its also true this this is his first season in professional football. It takes time for some people to adapt so perhaps maybe now he's using the experience he's gained over the season to do what he can do. I think he'll need to keep the form of the last couple of games from now until the end of the season if he wants to be here in August.
Wasn't the difference that they were well ahead at the top of the league at that point rather than fighting to get into a playoff? They hadn't also dropped loads of other points by the same players making stupid mistakes.
Saying that, most people know it was 1 result and will be back and just as eager for a win on Saturday and will celebrate it as much as any other. A loss again though and dropping out of the playoffs and people will look at the Yeovil, the Exeter, the FGR games where silly mistakes cost us.
No, Blackheath was one of the first (and easier game) in a run of tough games. They had most the top six yet to play away in the second half of the season and they had to play Darlington home and away who had games in hand as did Plymouth in 3rd. Yes the were ahead but it all could have collapsed very easily.
But that is the group of players we have Nick. It is not going to change. A group of players despite the mistakes have the best defensive record in the league, which suggests other teams are making more mistakes and will probably continue to do so.
What do you want to do? Help destroy the group's confidence? The group who have had us in and around the play offs all season, the group who still have it all to play for. My point is finger pointing leads to more finger pointing. It destroys squads it doesn't build strong teams. Alex Ferguson never criticised his sides in defeat and there is a reason for it.
Does Biamou actually get more chances? Last time we had this discussion people were going back about 7 games to point out a missed chance which was the one at waist height at Exeter.
He's getting more chances now and has put them away.
He is on a 2 year deal, so unless we are paying him off or selling him to get rid he will probably still be here.
Well his scoring rate this season suggests he isn't converting as many as he should be. But yes he's scoring now like you say as as per my point.
He's on a 2 year deal yes but if he's not in a managers plans then it would be in his best interests to move on as what usually happens in these situations, I'd hazard a guess he's probably not on much more than he was at Sutton United.
There were a lot of individual mistakes, but the overwhelming feeling I got from the game was the players thought “ we just have to turn up to win this “ and we all know what comes next.

Stats show yes he does
I wasn't on about stats though as you can make stats look however you want, I am on about actual chances that would be expected to score more times than missed.
That’s irrelevant as strikers also have a responsibility to lose defenders and get into position to score goals don’t they? McNulty I’m sure you’ll say misses chances but has it occurred to you that’s because he knows what he is doing?
It's also true thatthey feed off the fans. Imagine what it would do for his confidence to hear his name without "shit" in the same sentenceIf we are talking Biamou then its true he's doesn't score enough for the chances he gets during a game, that is frustrating but its also true this this is his first season in professional football.

We are pretty much at the business end of the season now, there isn't the luxury of having loads of games to catch up with the teams above us. A couple of bad results for us and good results for other teams and that's us out of it.
