Lampard agrees Dasilva's was a red, but not happy with the Isaiah Jones yellow.

It was for me too. Other way round we’d all be screaming it’s a red

Lampard: "I don't want to talk about it"

What a fucking baby.

 

[SkyblueTexan]

Robins wanted a lot of the players we have and the majority that he wanted have been proven to not be good enough, part of the problem lies with him, regardless of the amazing job he did. Hopefully Lampard can change this next season. If we fluke playoffs and go up great but we need a massive upgrade across the squad in the championship or the prem.

We won’t fluke the playoffs. I have lost all hope/faith in this team thanks to Collins and injuries to key players. Even if we made the playoffs we won’t make it past the semis whoever we play. Momentum is a big factor and we don’t have it. We’re not ready to go up and tanking the next game to plan for next season is what I’m thinking/feeling. Hate to say it after all we’ve fought to achieve so far.

 

[shepardo01]

He's fuming with the goal
"Doesn't want to talk about it"
Actually cut clive off quite abruptly when Clive said Brad Collins made some food saves.

 

[stupot07]

Oggy just said pissed off on the radio haha

Think it was pretty obvious he was fuming with Collins, could tell by his other comments about him when he cut Clive off when he was on about Collins making good saves.

Surely there's something going on with Wilson?

 

[Tommo1993]

Sorry Frank but "i don't want to talk about that" re the goal isn't good enough

It’s literally the best thing he could say. If he says something unprofessional in the heat of the moment he’s daft and in trouble.

 

[Blake]

We had equal numbers for 45 mins and created just 3 chances.

JDS was sent off on 13 minutes and there were 9 minutes of added time. Playing a man down takes more work, so it's no surprise we had less energy after Walsh was sent off.

 

[no_loyalty]

Maybe Wilson is garbage in training. We've no idea . Neither are great options tbh.

No idea, but Wilson has to be given a chance. The problem is, Frank is going to stick with Collins which is suicidal.

We'll fluke the play offs if Collins doesn't play

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Sorry Frank but "i don't want to talk about that" re the goal isn't good enough

Because the only thing he could say would be that his keeper’s cost yet another result.

 

[Macca]

First of all. It isn't over. Cup final next week, full house, punchers chance.

However ultimately taking off the blinkers, this isn't really a play off team. MR couldn't motivate them for a quarter of the season. Frank managed to galvanise them on a great run albeit hardly setting the world alight performance wise but we never really looked that great.

We have probably got all we can from this team in my opinion and hopefully we can make some changes and kick on next year

 

[Ashdown]

Middlesbrough looking very shaky and so many empty seats at the Riverside?

 

[2024/25 League 1 Champs?]

Im still baffled how the Lino was next to eccles when he got kicked and dint tell the ref to give a red

I'm equally as baffled Eccles didn’t drop to the ground and roll around like he’d been shot, like every other player of every other team would’ve done

 

[Chris1987]

We had equal numbers for 45 mins and created just 3 chances.

35 minutes and had spent a total of 55mins plus stoppage time with 10 men working overtime.

What a fucking baby.

Well he's not going to crucify any player in public is he ?

 

[Snaily]

I'm equally as baffled Eccles didn’t drop to the ground and roll around like he’d been shot, like every other player of every other team would’ve done

Yep, we’re too innocent. Allen was the same v Plymouth, jumped to his feet and ran to the ref rather than rolling on the ground like he’d had his leg broken

 

[Nick]

I'm equally as baffled Eccles didn’t drop to the ground and roll around like he’d been shot, like every other player of every other team would’ve done

I think he just assumed as it was right next to the lino that he would have seen it. He clearly did see it as well.

 

[Shannerz]

It’s literally the best thing he could say. If he says something unprofessional in the heat of the moment he’s daft and in trouble.

Also hanging your own players out to dry in public is not good management.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Also hanging your own players out to dry in public is not good management.

On this occasion it might be, I can’t imagine any of the players want Collins around

 

[Winny the Bish]

Well he's not going to crucify any player in public is he ?

No but he can still communicate his feelings without doing that.

It stinks of Lampard thinking he's above giving an answer

 

[BackRoomRummermill]

Maybe next year /…

 

[Ashdown]

Dear Frank, IF you are going to play that twat Collins next week, can you please give us a heads up by 7 am so I can roll over and continue my lie in , thanks !

 

[Danceswithhorses]

Defeat was all on Collins.
Blaming Binks is harsh...the team had played most of the game with a player down, and they all must have been knackered.
If Collins hadn't have been such a clown, there wouldn't have been any issue with Binks, who had been decent all afternoon.
That said, Frank...you have to take some shit for that poor, poor selection.

 

[covcity4life]

Lampard defo not happy with goal conceded

Maybe Wilson is gonna get that start next week

 

[covcity4life]

Lol oggy saying lampard pissed off live on radio ahha

 

[Lionelr]

Feeling very flat and deflated. The players must too which is not great energy to bring into the final game. I think a point would have been okay to walk away with after an early red, certainly would have felt better mentally. I know they had a red and potentially we should have gripped the game but the players looked burned out after some serious defensive sprinting. Defensively strong on the most part. Collins played well for 90 mins (really well) and just a crazy lapse and as many predicted cost us the game. No attempt to get the ball just clattered Kitching. I’m aware we had the red today but there looks no real structure moving the ball forward, we don’t seem to have a plan. We’re desperate for corners, free kicks penalties anything to get us over the line. Really poor and I’m really concerned for next week.

 

[Ashdown]

It has to be said our strikers are not exactly firing on all cylinders right now either.

 

[Liquid Gold]

Fuuuuuuuuck

 

[stay_up_skyblues]

It has to be said our strikers are not exactly firing on all cylinders right now either.

Id gladly not see Simms jogging around and half heartedly jumping to miss every header again. He ain’t good enough and/or doesn’t have the drive. Stealing a living. Wright at least got stuck in, won stuff in the air and turned his man a few times.

Collins, well, its all been said. Has to be our worst keeper in my lifetime.

 

[Captain Dart]

Anybody wanna buy some high quality hopium?

 

[stupot07]

If we are in it we can win it. No matter how I likely it seems

We were minutes away from a heroic performance today. Needs to be remembered

I'm going to go back to we played 40 minutes with equal numbers and amassed just 3 shots.

0-13 11v11 (13 mins)
68- 96 10v10 (28 mins)

 

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

Does anyone have confidence in getting the required result next week with Collins in goal because I don't

 

[clint van damme]

Robins wanted a lot of the players we have and the majority that he wanted have been proven to not be good enough, part of the problem lies with him, regardless of the amazing job he did. Hopefully Lampard can change this next season. If we fluke playoffs and go up great but we need a massive upgrade across the squad in the championship or the prem.

Haha! Robins fault. Priceless.

Not for me. Collins and Binks had played well. The former created the chance for Luton so takes more of the blame - but Binks attempt was fucking laughable - embarrassing.
