‘Carlos Corberan working miracles’ of course he is

Don't know what Collins did to get dropped. Statistically one of the best goalkeepers in the league this season and he's on the bench for no reason.

Sometimes I think you just have to acknowledge we don't actually know everything that is happening at the club. Could be carrying a knock, could be effects of being ill (which I think Robins mentioned), could be some other personal or professional reason

Don't really buy the idea that Robins woke up one day and decided squad rotation was the way forward with the goalkeeping position

People were laughing when I said this the day he went. Biggest mistake. This season was letting our only leader go.

they laughed because it’s a fucking ridiculous statement to make - still laughing now, nothing has changed

 

[Domo]

late to the party, any reasons why collins, kitching and wright are benched?

 

[mark82]

Jesus, blaming Wilson when I’m not sure even Ederson would’ve saved that - and yeah he cut inside past MVE but also CoH, and Eccles did the square root of fuck all to prevent the shot…

Half our team aren’t up to standard

Still think we might get something though!

Has he made a save since he's been back in the team?

 

[Seymour_East]

He’s ill you loon

What’s up with you shmmeee are you ill

 

[glasgowfan]

This has capitulation written all over it so far

By all the moaners on here, or the team?

I'd guess squad rotation.

Illness

 

[Macca]

Positive. Can’t drop down a place on this round of games

 

[Great_Expectations]

I know we are (rightly) worried by JDS’ defensive frailties, but we really shouldn’t overlook MVE in that area either.

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

We need Wright on there in attack with Simms at least.

 

[Nick]

Illness

Every week?

 

[lord_garrincha]

Good tbf. Remember the absolute trouser tents everyone got when we were proper shit starting the season and that throw came out

I still haven't been able to clean myself up since Aron Gunnarsson's debut... I was gushing!

 

[Jamesimus]

Can’t currently see a way back for us here, it’s very pedestrian and obvious from us

If you're set up to play on the counter, don't concede in 6 minutes.


Btw I don't believe O'Hare and Palmer work together particularly well, they play in the same spaces in front of the opposition

illness, but good enough for the bench.

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

We’re so poor on the ball compared to the other teams challenging for the play-offs. These are passing rings around us just like Preston did last week.

Has been for a while

 

[Chris1987]

Not playing badly . However still very nervous when the ball goes near JDS in a defensive position

 

[Tommo1993]

Be honest lads, that shot would’ve had Collins easily beaten too

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Basically a rinse and repeat of earlier games in this system. Wing backs don’t get forward, possession play is too ponderous and the defence is feeble

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Great flick on by Simms

 

[Nick]

Need to target their booked player

 

[Macca]

Which is why in reality we aren’t challenging for the playoffs. A level below

 

[JohnWH]

Oo a chance maybe, don't rocket it into the stands

 

[Chris1987]

Get COH running at him

 

[Jamesimus]

Connor Townsend has the face of an eagle

 

[2024/25 League 1 Champs?]

Has he made a save since he's been back in the team?

not sure that makes a difference as to whether he was to blame for the goal or not though?

 

[Seymour_East]

Nah

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

I thought that was in

 

[chiefdave]

fuck, thought that was in

 

[Paul Anthony]

Thought that was in then!

 

[Matt smith]

Noooooi

 

[Marty]

FFS. How's that missed
