2024/25 League 1 Champs?

3 goals and 4 assists in 30 games? for an attacking midfielder is pretty bang average isn’t it? Kasey Palmer has been slated for better stats!
He was great in league 1 what are you on about?
Forget the player but as a coach what has Boateng achieved ?how are they good coaches, there miles behind adi and Lawrence
Nah sorry!Nobody has a divine right to play 90 minutes.
If Wright (or anyone else) is playing poorly, they get hooked.
Sorry but that's an absurd statement.
Surprise, surprise…I knew it wouldn’t be long until she got the blame.Our Performance Director started in February. This is one of Dr Roberts' quotes, when she was interviewed by CET.
“I say this to Doug all the time, that we need to make sure that our players are the best conditioned, the best prepared, physically and mentally, for the season ahead."
Since mid-March we have been noticeably flat in our performance levels apart from a few games. It would be harsh to use the end of season downfall to judge her impact, but you would hope that we would have at least started this campaign with some energy and endeavour. However, there has just been a continuation of our end of season apathy.
Maybe in the long term, approaches and practices introduced by her will show some benefits, but performance wise it has been a decline since.

He was pivotal in getting us promoted
Well tbf we don't know how it goes after him do we, unsettled squad directly after for instance!Robins has a job for life according to some on here.
The issues are nothing to do with her side of things.Cant believe people are blaming the Performance Director for our performance

Sakamoto looks a bit confused, he's either not doing it because of his injury or being nobbled by some coaches instruction, I'd go with the latter in this particular instance knowing how he's 100%We used to play lovely little triangles in and around their box. Now we just get aimless crosses in.
Anticipation in other words!Was just so frustrating today. Players didn’t move in or out of possession. When a Norwich player had the ball he has two or three options on it, our players just stand there watching, no one goes to help out, there’s no patterns where a player knows where someone will be if needed. No one dragging players out of position or moving into space to receive the ball. Just basic basic stuff we aren’t doing.

Did KP get a run out today,lost quite heavily didn't they?Anticipation in other words!
He doesn’t look much like his previous self.Sakamoto looks a bit confused, he's either not doing it because of his injury or being nobbled by some coaches instruction, I'd go with the latter in this particular instance knowing how he's 100%
I’m not buying this the cup run was the reason we were shit in the league bullshit. It was 2/3 extra games that’s all.The cup run was a big part of that, we’ve lost a game 1nil a lot to work on but no big deal
long season
Looks a little worried about getting injured and with good reasonHe doesn’t look much like his previous self.
Nah last season he hit a purple spell, defenders hated him, once he gets up to speed if it's that, he'll rip it up, got to get the O'Hare replacement up to speed I think!I think the fact everyone loves him as a person we may slightly inflate his ability. He's decent, but imagine a Haji Wright type player on both sides instead of the predicted stuff Sakamoto brings.
Mad isn't it.Seriously, the reactionary stuff on this thread is unbelievable. Robins is light years ahead of anything we’ve had in the last 2-3 decades. The same conversations were happening last year as Wright and Simms settled. We’ve signed proven players this year who just need a few games. There should be zero panic.
I’m not sure it’s that, still putting himself about as always. But more subdued going forward.Looks a little worried about getting injured and with good reason

It’s like they’ve been told to focus loads on getting crosses in the box which isn’t his game.
I don’t know for sure that they have but it’s how it looks.Fuck knows why they’ve been told to get crosses into the box
Can't believe the wet wipes on here, it's like they haven't watched us start slow before
Yes it's annoying, yes I'd have liked another DM but it's not the first wobble we've had and history tells us that Robins can sort it out.
Turning on the new coaches is mental. It's been 6 games. W3/D1/L2 isn't the end of the world and certainly not a big enough sample to be writing people off.
As for the Adi love in he was here during our shite end to the season too. His first 10 games for us were W4/D1/L5.... Maybe just maybe it takes time to get a team playing
Sure but you could use that to argue they were desperate to get something from the game. That was my impression.That was their first win of the season and they were booed off in their first home game.
Just for balance.
…I’d say they’re more down to the actual manager.Are the not? Simms looking lost again, players not looking up for it. Seems like exactly her side of things.
He’s also a target like he was today last year we gave away a penalty away for the follow through today the follow through injures him that seems okI’m not sure it’s that, still putting himself about as always. But more subdued going forward.

It looked like a normal performance from them that would have been punished by a better side than us today.Sure but you could use that to argue they were desperate to get something from the game. That was my impression.
They weren’t spectacular but they fought for everything.It looked like a normal performance from them that would have been punished by a better side than us today.

I guess so, but we looked so passive it’s hard to tell. The same as Stoke and Bristol, who knows how good they really are-they weren’t tested.They weren’t spectacular but they fought for everything.
They didn't even have to do that too much ,They weren’t spectacular but they fought for everything.
I think he’s been given instructions to keep feeding MVE on the overlap to put crosses in. Which isn’t his game, he’s a classic inside forward who likes cutting in for a shot or to draw players out of position.Agreed. But he didn't hide and still got stuck in.
Which is always a good sign in a player who's suffering a loss of gorm/confidence.
Nope, not anymore unfortunately, since I moved south, .so I do get it that I don't quite see what everyone in the ground sees.Out of interest, do you go to games?
