Today reminded me of that Bristol away game last year where it was nearly there in terms of a performance and result
it’ll come
it’ll come
Of course confidence brings a winning mentality both from the players and fans alikeWell... I get why you might not but I do think it is legitimate to. That is our league form. Some of the things we were doing wrong Cardiff City onwards (not showing up, throwing away leads etc) have carried over to this season and most of those games still had something riding on them.
In isolation this game, this performance even the result - all good; win against Swansea and this could be considered the game where things turned around. But the reality is that no one was surprised when Watford equalised. No one would have been that shocked if we had lost. We just need to get back into the habit of winning games and a lot of this negativity will go away.
If we want to convert MVE into a right sided wide attacker I'm all in favour. But to do that we just can't rely on Lati at RB all season.Would definitely take Cannon
Which is the kind of stubborn thinking that will leave us playing Kai Andrews at CMCannon has already gone to MLS hasn’t he.
We’re not signing any free agents
I want to see more of Andrews but not right now while we're scrapping for pointsWhich is the kind of stubborn thinking that will leave us playing Kai Andrews at CM
I was being tongue in cheek calling them that!Thought our as you put it “ lg 1 std. shite mdfld “ did well. Especially the brilliant goal saving tackle Eccles put in.
Eccles,Torp and Rudoni all had good games.
Trouble is, that’s been the case for quite some time.First half a real positive. Just need to kill teams off early and be more ruthless in the final third. It will come.
They're near the top of the table because they beat Millwall stoke and Derby
Il bet you we are above derby in may , by some distanceYou say that as if Millwall, Stoke and Derby are poor teams.
Millwall are only a point behind us and Stoke are above us in the table having beaten us. Derby have nearly twice as many points as we have and are only out of the playoff places on goal difference. I’d love us to be where Derby are.
All true.There aren't too many managers that don't have a flaw .
Mark robins has given this fanbase the best years since the Premier league , it's that simple really
He took us to within a penalty kick of the Premier league , that would be 3 promotions with club that looked dead and buried 7 years ago and one that's out performed financially by many many clubs at this level .
He's revived the fanbase and turned us into a club that has a good reputation with recruitment and young player development and one that has a good style of play .
I think some fans should remember what he's done for us and stop being overdramatic twats
All true.
He is shit at using subs though,
We've lots of knobs that support us Pete .Anyone saying they’ve lost trust in robins is a knob
Your talking as if we're a good side.You say that as if Millwall, Stoke and Derby are poor teams.
Millwall are only a point behind us and Stoke are above us in the table having beaten us. Derby have nearly twice as many points as we have and are only out of the playoff places on goal difference. I’d love us to be where Derby are.
But they are against adding free agents. Silly if you ask me.Part of the problem is we’re asking so much of the few central midfielders we do have, they’re going to fall away at some point in the second half. If Eccles is out now for a while, surely we need to add someone to the squad.
None of us know what these free agents are asking for in terms of wages or contract length ?But they are against adding free agents. Silly if you ask me.
Fair enough, but I’m concerned if we can make it to Jan with a threadbare midfield. If we are still in the bottom half at that point, will we be able to attract the kind of talent to drive us toward the playoff positions? Also the pickings are slim in the Jan window.None of us know what these free agents are asking for in terms of wages or contract length ?
If signing a 33 year old on a 1+1 contract on 15k a week stops us having the freedom to sign a younger ,better option in January then I'm against it too

Cannon would be worth it on a free
We signed Torp and EMC in the last window and the midfield performed well today and will look less threadbare once Sheaf is back .Fair enough, but I’m concerned if we can make it to Jan with a threadbare midfield.

A load of waffle with an admittance that you didn't see the game todayTo be honest, it seems utterly ridiculous to me for us to do that. We've got attacking players, particularly wingers, coming out of every orifice.
Like the system we played today. Essentially an admition by default that our transfer policy and team set-up aren't working the way we intended.
Central midfielder aside, as I don't know the details, most of this at the moment is on Robins. Yes, the players have been too soft and aren't helping themselves with application (although by all accounts it sounded better today), but the team management/selection, lack of reactions, pre-cooked (or not) subs, and Latibeaudiere love-in are not doing us many favours at all. Switching MvE would only be to accommodate the latter into the team - which to me again seems like absolute fucking madness.

Lati played well and shows leadership qualitiesNo, I had a match of my own, which is why I said it sounded a lot better today. That isn't important to the criticisms I have raised in relation to this season, with many also being relevent to today's game.
What of the below would you argue with?
-Robins loves Latibeaudiere
-We don't react to opposition changes well
-We don't often make appropriate substitutions
-Some of our better players have been left on the bench
I don’t think it’s entitled, it’s pretty much what Saddle said - DK, and by association MR and the club, have said we’re going to do something, built up that expectation, but then not necessarily actually followed that up by their actions to date
Lati played well and shows leadership qualities
We made changes
Appropriate? Weird
And who was left on the bench in the game you watched?
I didn’t think you were this much of a little bitch to be honestObviously I'll still watch every minute of every game ffs. I was buzzing for this season though and they've already managed to completely suck out all my enthusiasm. Its fucking shite and there's no real excuse for it.

We have played 5 games you melt. Stop being such a little bitchI didn’t downplay his achievements at all. Don’t put words in my mouth. I have in other posts actually lauded his accomplishments. But he has just overseen the spending of around 40M pounds or so and we’ve not performed up to expectations have we? We’re sitting in 14th. He’s done well with us but not very well with other clubs. I don’t recall any of his teams every starting seasons fast off blocks and his game management is sometimes slow.
Is that fair and more to your liking? Give it a rest will you?
We were never playing 3-4-2-1
We have not played 3421 at any point this afternoon.
We didn't play 3421, it was always 4231 with Lati at right back, and Milan on the right wing
