A poor result and even if the subs looked notionally of an attack minded nature, very disappointing to not just got and try and win the game from the off against a very pedestrian West Brom side.

Two Sheff Utd defeats - 5 goals , and two City wins + 6 goals and we're in !

 

[PVA]

Never doubt Robins

 

[David O'Day]

haha you diving c**t

 

[skyblue025]

Season over with a whimper. Been a good season but being so wasteful has cost us a golden chance in what’s been a poor league bar the top 2.

 

[stupot07]

Crap pen, but great save by Wilson.

All over, game and play offs.

Hope we complain about the dive for the pen, as bad as Goddens.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

6 points behind only 10 difference of goal difference

 

[skyblu3sk]

He has been absolutely abysmal.

You have to be kidding me... seriously? He's been our only outlet all game. Even ohare couldn't get in to the swing today.

 

[Finham]

Guaranteed Ben Wilson on the post-match player interview duties now.

He always makes me think of...

 

[skyblueinBaku]

Very disappointing.

Nah we’ve been brilliant

 

[stupot07]

Robins has to take some blame, that bench was far too defensive despite lack of experience or quality of Jones and taveres

Wouldn't go that far, we've been very good at times though.

Wilson man of the match!!

Quality of Jones and Tavares?!

I mean I’d say we’ve been brilliant at times is fair

Agreed, at times.

8 points more than last season, with 2 games left. Progress.
Glad Huddersfield have something to play for next week, as it will make for a much better atmosphere. Let's do them by a few and hope Sheff Utd get hammered (one can dream !)

 

[better days]

Well we got what we came for
Robins will get kudos for the goalkeeping change
Maybe I'm a Grinch but it's a bit depressing that we didn't have a go at a club in turmoil where the fans would have turned on their team had we gone in front
But what do I know.....

 

[Wyken Sky Blue]

Maatsen needs to sort his touch out, too heavy at crucial times otherwise we would've had better chances

I ain't giving up on the playoffs!! Wilson's save has turned the tide. We have the momentum!

 

[Sick Boy]

Our record against the relegated teams has been very good this season, which is good to see.

aye someone has been on it early doors

 

[kingfield park skyblues]

outside chance of play offs, need a win. What does Robins do, takes off ohare = 5 goals, brings on Waghorn=1 goal.The result, no shots on target last 20 minutes

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

Yes, Maatsen has been very poor. I'm not sure how you can watch that and think otherwise.

As an outlet he did one good cross otherwise was offside several times, mis-controlled the ball constantly, gave the ball away a lot and just generally flattered to deceive. He's also extremely weak.

I know he is young but I wouldn't be in a hurry to get him back next season. Far from convinced as it stands.

Moore is a far superior keeper, so presumably it was enforced.

 

[Johnnythespider]

That was never, ever a penalty. Was like he got sniped.

We have had plenty much worse not given.

If that was a pen the one up the other end certainly was

I think you've misunderstood what I said/meant.
Jones and Taveres might not have the experience or quality of those on the bench, but would have given an attacking option, ahead of all of the defensive options that were on the bench. We only had 1 attacking player on the bench.

I agree. Beat his man several times and his delivery was far superior to Kane’s.

 

[CDK]

A clean sheet at last surprised at the bench today not attacking bar Waggers.

You literally used the word quality

I said despite the lack of experience and quality of Jones and taveres.

People need to read properly, its not hard to grasp.

Wilson had a good game, and saved a pen too. (How many pens has Moore saved this season?)

Some of the criticism of him is ridiculous to say the least
