We had a shit on target!!!

And also because he's allegedly been ill.

For weeks?

Maybe we need a club doctor.

 

[Domo]

wait, did a player just beat JDS?

 

[mark82]

We're way too static.

Thomas's passing has been dreadful recently.

 

[Great_Expectations]

Yea Simms touch let’s him down occasionally, but if he’s being picked out as a scapegoat this place has lost it again.

He’s won numerous flick ons, generally held it up well and his movement has been good. All while being supported by a 10 who can’t be arsed and two wing backs who are scared to cross the half way line.

Former boo boy, now loved Wright, has been poor again so far (granted it’s been 10 mins).

 

[Saddlebrains]

@Saddlebrains is there any truth to a rift between MR / AV and Big Doug?

Not that I'm aware of. Wouldn't put it beyond the realms of possibility however after January MR Isnt a happy man

 

[long way home]

Lots will be said after this and lots will be assumed. My take is we with this group are in about the right position for what we have. Robins will look at this and know where to add come the summer. Certain players will not be with the group next season but losing games always brings questions.

I just think this group is out of form and reached its level in the league. No point being to upset the positive is we know where to improve.

 

[Grendel]

Because the £4m signing doesn’t play like a £4m signing

Hes a lot better than Binks

 

[Nick]

We get all the way down the pitch and have no idea.

[Marty]

We stretched the game then, this is awful...

 

[Winny the Bish]

They’re so much more comfortable on the ball than we are.

Reminds me of Ipswich away where they passed through our midfield at will. Something I’ve not seen us do since League 1 days.

They did it again from that goal kick. Pre-planned passage of play that gets them through our press with ease to a midfielder in 10 yards of space near halfway.

Why do we never do that???

 

[jordan210]

Eccles no one around him decides to play the ball in the corner

 

[mark82]

For weeks?

Maybe we need a club doctor.

Nah, tonight. In fairness, post his suspension we were on a winning run and Binks had earned the shirt.

 

[larry_david]

Absolutely no one is moving up front.

Not one player in this team is a ball carrier.

[Chris1987]

Spell of sideways and backwards passing followed by a misplaced forward ball.
This system clearly does not work

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

There’s no character or leadership in this team.

 

[Johnnythespider]

A passage of play then that needed O'hare buzzing about not Palmer playing one two's with everyone just to go back to the half way line, I disagree with the opinion that he's been poor for weeks by the way

 

[Nick]

Nah, tonight. In fairness, post his suspension we were on a winning run and Binks had earned the shirt.

Binks needs Bidwell next to him.

Binks and dasilva is a nightmare waiting to happen.

 

[larry_david]

I'd honestly stick tavares on now. At least he shows some bloody movement

 

[Garlana86]

At least we have a shot on target for our troubles

 

[Nick]

Team of pussies.

 

[Alan Dugdales Moustache]

How many basic lay offs does Simms get wrong

He's still learning to trap a bag of sand .

 

[SIR ERNIE]

The frustrating thing is that WBA really don't look anything special yet they've been able to stroll through the game.

 

[Seymour_East]

Occasionally?? You having a fucking laugh?

 

[Tommo1993]

Need one more baggies goal for those tweet league maximum points

 

[robbiethemole]

Count how many players they have it seems like there’s always one free for the pass

 

[ptr]

Why is Lati in the middle of the three? Bizzare. Need Thomas there

 

[Cally Fedora]

Have none of the coaching staff realised the Simms can’t receive the ball in to his feet. We’d be better off with Palmer in that role, receiving it and playing off him. We seem to be finding formations that we don’t have players for. Forcing it.

 

[TomRad85]

Has been 2 absolute mismatches against genuine play off contenders. I think last season raised our expectations to an unrealistic level

I disagree, I think we've got a very good playing squad that should challenge for top 6. Unfortunately we've had injuries to very important players which can't be helped but at the same time Robins has started doing weird shit which has double fucked us.

Because he will play every week in a random, different position.

 

[Winny the Bish]

What do we do in training? Because no one out there looks like they know what the plan is.

 

[skybluegod]

He hasnt been offered a new contract, simple as that. Robins wants him to stay but seems Douglas doesnt fancy another pay increase

Saddle I think you are a pretty reliable contact but there must be a lot more info behind this. (Unless you contact is robins himself) if Robins wants him to stay, and King is outright refusing to listen then MR is surely going to walk soon. From what we know of MR he isn't going to let Robins dictate the football side of it. And if he wants Lawrence to stay it's surely his remit to allocate funds from the playing budget towards that.

 

[Nick]

Awful from dasilva
