I don’t get the Shipley being at fault for the goal comments.
I blamed Ostigard - ball was heading straight for Dabo and Ostigard jumped right in
I don’t get the Shipley being at fault for the goal comments.How someone can say second goal was Shipley's fault is beyond me ,,,,sorry to spoil the Dabo love in but that goal was his fault got sucked in under the ball lost his man and headed it badly and off of Ostigaard's head when he would clearly have headed it comfortably clear but hey why let the facts get in the way of targetting a boo boy eh SBT?
Shipley couldn't have marked his man any fucking tighter if he tried. He was left 2 vs 1 at the back post though while Dabo and Ostigard both got in each other's way and missed the header

Robins made the point in interview that the players need to believe in themselves more cause he thinks they could be very good this season . A few weeks in and I think we will be very hard to beat1st half was the worst I've seen us play in a while. Seemed to lack self belief and confidence. 2nd half we were much more like it.
Thought overall we played better last week but got the important win tonight. 4 goals scored in 2 games is encouraging. Still not conceded a quality goal mistakes & penalties we can rectify.
Great result. O'hare brilliant.
I agree. I think getting that 1sr win is a huge weight off our shoulders as well as the players. We have shown we can compete and beat an established Championship team. Onwards and upwards.Robins made the point in interview that the players need to believe in themselves more cause he thinks they could be very good this season .

To be fair, he started the move that led to our first goal, whilst being taken out by 2 of their players. I get it, but while he doesn’t “excel” at anything, he also doesn’t let the team down in any way.Yeah he doesn't have any standout technical attributes.
He's very busy and runs around a lot and does cause teams problems by popping up in space.
But rarely beats a man or puts a killer pass through.
I think Jones would have been perfect for that role, I do wonder if we're in the market for another AM
I was saying this to a friend of mine. By all accounts Forest were awful last week. At some point you’ve got to think maybe the team they’re playing is a good team and they’re not allowing Forest and us to play our way1st half QPR played well and they didn't let us have possession. Think it was more case them playing well rather than us playing poorly.
Marosi 6
Dabo 8
Ostigard 7
McFadzean 7
Hyam 7
Giles 8
Shipley 5
Hamer 6
O’Hare 8
Allen 7
Godden 7 (felt for him - had one chance all night - he took it!)
Dabo's fault clearly second goal he should have been helping Shipley in the first place in terms of marking the second man at the back leaving the central defender Ostigard to clear which he would have done as would have been unchallenged and Dabo and Shipley would have marked the two at the back...simples!
Don't get me wrong Dabo's my favourite city player but he does have his flaws and i'm not blind to his errors his first half was not great tbh either but what a second half he had after brushing off a few cobwebs
One influenced the game massively and the other was shipleyhe also gave the ball away in their half which led to the corner in the first place. Bad 60 seconds for him but otherwise immense. But, yeah, it's all Shipleys fault in some peoples eyes!

Agree with this. I think in the first half we were about containing them. I think it was planned as opposed to being shite. I mean it was shite to watch but I think that was our strategy.Worth saying: as bad as the first half was, they had very few chances and we came in level. I still think there was some energy management going on, and maybe a few overcorrections from the likes of Hamer after the Bristol game, plus a bit of nerves after the first loss all year.
We’re a young side and to stay in the game then respond how we did was an immense achievement.
Apologies I’ve not checked over - I meant 7. I set everyone at 6 then edit.Hamer 6? What the fuck, he was immense.
Got through a mountain of work first half and really started to get on the ball and impose himself on the game 2nd, great set piece deliveries, contender for MoM but I'd give that to Callum.

Did feel that he was a passenger in the first half, but was more the fact Shipley and Allen were awful and he had no outlet.
His set pieces are different gravy. Going to be a key player for us
Yeah probably right mate. But I just thought in possession we lacked confidence and conviction and belief but 2md half we had that and looked so much better.1st half QPR played well and they didn't let us have possession. Think it was more case them playing well rather than us playing poorly.
Rose will struggle to get his place back but will replace fadz if he doesOn reflection I still worry about McFadzean a bit. He was great for us last year but earlier on in the season I always thought there was a mistake in him. In fairness he was immense for us as the season progressed.
Yesterday was kind of the same. He looked solid for the most part but gave away a pen -needless challenge; arguably was at fault for their 2nd goal, and should’ve definitely scored that first header.
I dunno, maybe I’m being harsh. I actually rate him. Just hope he remains solid I guess.
Pretty much this. Allen bothers me. I said today I can’t remember watching a game and coming away saying “Allen played really well today”, and he’s the only player I can say that for. This isn’t slating him, he’s a decent player, but doesn’t seem to excel in anything.
I think his words were the players are better than they think they are. You could tell first half they didn’t believe they could beat an established championship side, second half from the whistle we were a different beast. I think Robbins reminded our lads how good they can beRobins made the point in interview that the players need to believe in themselves more cause he thinks they could be very good this season .

He got 4 assists in 10 games last season, I really don't understand what game you people watchYeah he doesn't have any standout technical attributes.
