Hiwula 5? 4 easy chances, 3 glaring misses, 2 slips over and a tantrum at getting subbed off! hahahahaHard to judge any player today because was just amazed how Chaplin keeps started and not getting dragged instead of hiwula but for me it was
Burge 5
Mason 4
Davis 3
Hyam 5
Sterling 6
Thomas 6
Westbrooke 6
Kelly 5
Bright 4
Hiwula 5
Chaplin 1
Bakayoko and Clarke Harris HAVE to start for me next game by no means am I saying robins needs to go because he's a great manager but time to change his thinking now can't keep playing the unlucky card and saying we're doing the right thing it's a results business I'm afraid

He didn't change it all the way through.I’m still reeling from waiting 10-15 mins down 2-0 at home and not changing the formation to get straight back in it. Absolutely insane
Fair ratings, stu, apart from Burge. Thought he was poor today,Burge 6

Robins 1 - 1 upfront at home, makes subs 2-0 down and still just keeps 1 upfront. For all of the possession in the first half, we still didn't create enough, dont get enough men in the box, dont make the right decisions and often play 2 narrow trying to pass it in.

I'd happily knock him down a point.Fair ratings, stu, apart from Burge. Thought he was poor today,
He just didn't come off his line and then there was one where he came out waving his arms about like a madman and got nowhere near the ball.I'd happily knock him down a point.

Game of two half’s on a awful pitch which we need to factor in to the way we play at times over a season.
A reasonable first half, good movement from a few, composure on the ball moving it around working openings as Blackpool pressed but the usual lack of killer edge.
Second half same frailties creep back in, set pieces again are our down fall with a lack of physical presence and height in the side will forever be our undoing especially without a commanding keeper.
As soon as Blackpool scored you could see the belief fall away from the young side and players stop making the movement and decisions they did in the first half.
The side is crying out for a couple of more senior players who know the level and the average height of the squad needs to rise by 6 inches to compete against these direct sides.

AgreeSome of the marks given to Chaplin are pretty silly. I’m not that convinced by him but at least he’s willing - the same for clarke Harris - you can’t accuse these two of hiding even if they are missing chances.
Hiwula on the other hand I do not get at all.
Hiwula looked better when he was played centrally for a couple of games. Playing on the left really doesn't work for him.Some of the marks given to Chaplin are pretty silly.

That’s a fair point Grendel (never thought I’d hear myself say that !) Yes, Chaplin missed the header (looked like he was on his heels) and yes he comes too deep...but that’s usually because he is trying to get involved and make things happen....even if it doesn’t always help.
Westbrooke MotM for me. Looked very tidy, always hunting the ball and wanting to dictate. I’m a massive Bayliss fan but the way Westbrooke was getting involved is worth him watching
Decent first half, should’ve been leading, v poor second (defending was shocking for both goals). The players appear to know that as soon as a goal goes in they are going to struggle due to lack of confidence in final third. Some of our play, on a dreadful pitch, has deserved better lately
