Never want to see Collins in a Coventry shirt again. Utter clown show today. Why spend millions on a young keeper and not play him. Mad.

Defence were shocking too. Might as well give Kitching a go until Jan then we need a older head to calm them all down. DaSilva is not the answer to any question at this level needs fucking off asap.

The whole team is so brittle, they cave at the first sign of danger. We desperately need a leader at the back. We started so bright but only took Collins jumping over a near post effort for everyones head to drop.

Bassette will come good but not a starter for me, I maintain we need to use him against tired legs. His miss 1v1 was a key moment. Simms needs to start or we will never see the best of him. Every week we bring him on when we've taken anyone who can provide a decent cross every week is mental.

amazed it took FL to 65 minutes to make a change. I can understand not changing at half time if we come out firing but once the 3rd went in, should have changed it.

then it again the changes did nothing anyway

Well he is never going to track back as a left sided mid is he. He also is slow off the ball. Fine if you are a striker playing of the defender not so good if you need to help out your lb. But please keep picking and miss the point being made

Yeah you want you 19 goal inside forward tracking back and defending.

Do you know who else is lazy, that Kane fella at Munich. Waste of time.

I think he was in shock. He knew there wasn’t a chance the team was coming back because he saw how mentally weak they are.

So you would have given Robins another £5 or £10 million in January after his recent record on signings?
Robins had created a shambles, something had to be done sooner rather than later.
I would personally not judge Lampard until after he's had a chance to bring a few players in, offload a few and give his team 20 or so games.

Sense of entitlement by our players very telling.

Like they can just turn up and beat teams without even trying.

Too many players strolling around the pitch giving the ball away-tone led by Sheaf.

No fight, effort or playing for the shirt in the game-also our sports psychologists need to address the drop in confidence and composure when Collins made that gaff for their first.

Heads dropped and we lost it the moment Calamity Collins let it in.

He's clearly got enormous potential, and you can see exactly why he was brought in, but he's so inexperienced, and his decision making in the box is so poor.

I'm not a Simms fan (for the outlay), but he has to be our starter.

What a difference since Dennis Lawrence and Adi Viveash departed, Lawrence leaving especially is when the defence started to meltdown.
Decent defensive coaching , get Dovin in goal help for Sheaf in the middle and we may have a chance ;)

Other than that its like groundhog day virtually every fking game!

Last season , as you alluded too , yes we did

Last season and this season combined have been poor.

Yes Wembley was great. But that doesn’t discount that we’ve been pretty poor for 18 months now except for a decent 3 month period last spring.

Dowie won at Old Trafford and got us to the top of the Championship. Do you this time in charge was good?

I'll forgive Lampard that (Not our wank players however) but I want to see him be ruthless after that - Certain players need dropping from the matchday squad all together after that and reinforcements are desperately needed

The repercussions in the aftermath of that performance have to be seismic, that cannot be brushed over or cannot go unpunished - Some people just before Christmas have pissed money up the wall on tickets and for some, trains and hotels to be served up that, utterly disgraceful

But we have an "elite" coaching team now according to Doug?

With respect, whilst I’m sure you said that the defence was awful at the start (as did I), so many were frantically masturbating over the signing of Binks, fawning over his shoes!! It was like he was heralded by so many as the second coming of Maldini.

Binks; a player who was at best a back up last season. Absolutely gutless, weak, pathetic and clueless. So many mistakes he has made; outjumped/outmuscled in the build up to the first Oxford United goal, needlessly sliding in on the half way line against QPR, allowing Adebayo to just run across him against Luton Town, needlessly running out to Hamer against Sheffield United. The guy has the positional sense of a toddler on a photo shoot. Yet you look on some of the forums and people are claiming that they don’t understand why he was dropped for a couple of games (one of which we kept a clean sheet!)

Well 3 clean sheets in 35 games is an horrific defensive statistic. What a waste of money!
