If the new guy comes in and still plays Latibeaudiere then it’ll be a laugh.

I don’t mind him playing in defence if his instructions involve him barely trying to play football.

Midfield though…

The biggest problem is we have spent pretty much all our money on a bunch of really really average players. A very big hole for a new manager to get out of.
Robins has a lot of responsibility for that.

 

[lifeskyblue]

Nothing to lose now second half. Make changes to shape and personnel and hope to not lose the half.
Doug please announce new manager (head coach) tomorrow or Monday latest.

 

[Jamesimus]

BTA is the player you bring in against a tired side in the second half. He was anonymous on Tuesday and the same today. No criticisms of his work rate but need to be used correctly.

I agree. I like him, he’s a great athlete. But with limited football ability.

 

[torchomatic]

I actually don't think we've been too bad. Both good goals. Rudoni has bee disappointing. Can't blame Collins for either goal.

I would bring on Norman at HT.

 

[usskyblue]

Doug has nowhere to hide. He’s forced a defining moment and put his plums on the slab.

They’ll either get kissed or stamped on.

 

[Alkhen]

Don't think torp has been that bad. When he gets the ball there's fuck all on.

Yeah Torp did well, rats back which is what was missing when he first arrived. Rudoni has been far less effective this match

 

[SIR ERNIE]

Need to bring Asante off, Rudoni as well.

Simms and Bassette on.

Asante should never have started.

 

[Marty]

Just watched it back, any championship keeper is saving that second goal. Good height, barley had to move for it either.

 

[Terry_dactyl]

Are we Stoke?

 

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

10k boycotting because we don't have robins?

Nah, cause we're shit and going nowhere and have a shit squad of overpaid players. All the good will and 'belief' from the fan base towards King will have eroded

 

[torchomatic]

Asante should never have started.

Don't agree. He's done OK with the scraps he's had.

We spend a lot of money on average players and playing a formation where we have our big money signing EMC and our most technical player in Sakamoto sat on the bench whilst we have a CB playing in midfield. The whole transfer strategy and execution was shocking

 

[Marty]

BTA is a league one player, which I claimed a couple of months back. Runs around a lot but does nothing with it and technically poor.

 

[Tommo1993]

Premier League package. lol.

 

[Old Warwickshire lad]

Looked like he just waved his arms at the 2nd

 

[Sick Boy]

I imagine he will raise the prices substantially in anticipation of lost support anyway should we have a dreadful campaign

I'm pretty sure there was a video interview where he threatened to cut the budget if people didn't turn up.

 

[covcity4life]

Expected, but still…very, very worrying.

For all the hype, the new infrastructure and the fancy job titles, we are failing to deliver on the pitch through a lack of leadership and players that clearly do not want to wear the shirt.

Can’t really express how badly I can see this season going, unless we have a tremendous ‘new manager bounce’ from whoever comes in.

Fucking scaring me man!

 

[CCFCSteve]

Really missing Eccles and to a lesser extent sheaf in the middle and Simms up front. Not sure it would’ve been much different with Robins in charge. Loose defending and punished. Story of our season

 

[MalcSB]

This group

10k boycotting because we don't have robins?

No, because we are in League 1

Robins isn't responsible for the club missing out on 2 more midfielders is he ? He isn't responsible for the recruitment leaving holes in the squad , he's not responsible for a transfer policy which includes no loans and nobody over the age of fucking 25 seemingly

 

[CV22SBA]

These players are shite and Robins needs to take some responsibility for that.

 

[Sky Blue Goblin]

Got to love the deep lying playmaker Joel Lati. Fuck me this is embarrassing

 

[covboy9]

Just watched it back, any championship keeper is saving that second goal. Good height, barley had to move for it either.

Yes any ‘championship’ striker would

 

[CovInEssex]

I agree and think Collins was out of position for it - probably expecting him to square it.

 

[vin10]

BTA is already playing (believe it or not!)
[/QUOT

Asante should never have started.

Taveras must be thinking I'm as good...and might beat a player now and then

 

[Evo1883]

I'm pretty sure there was a video interview where he threatened to cut the budget if people didn't turn up.

What a guy

 

[pusbccfc]

The irony is, this would have happened if Robins hadn't been sacked. It's a very similar performance to most this season.

Sunderland are miles ahead. Have they spent £45m?

 

[alexccfc99]

Usually bang up for playing this lot… They’re bullying us and I couldn’t care less

Just trying to rack my brains as to how this season has become such a car crash

Get a new manager in asap and go from scratch

 

[pusbccfc]

No, because we are in League 1

Not like those 10,000 to run away when the going gets tough?

 

[SBT]

Rudoni doesn’t play with anything like the intensity of O’Hare, we have no-one capable of linking the play at speed. He’s got a great delivery on him but I don’t see what he offers beyond that.

 

[skybluecam]

I’m genuinely baffled at the people who think we don’t have any quality. We’ve got largely the same squad that finished 9th last season and should’ve done better. O’Hare is the only real loss. We’ve added a few.

This is it 100%. Everyone including me got excited because we were spending more than 2 quid. Sadly we got dine

Don't agree. He's done OK with the scraps he's had.

Yes at least he is putting a shift

 

[Covcraig@bury]

Recruiting team needs chinning off along with all the tech bollox . Back to basics

 

[Evo1883]

Is it ? We never played like this in 3 of the last 4 matches

Robins doesn't negotiate fees and he doesn't identify the players
