[SIR ERNIE]

Describing DaSilva as a “disaster” signing is a bit of a stretch. He’s made some high profile mistakes in recent games. Unsure as to whether Bidwell would have stopped that cross.

Well any good full back would have prevented the cross. It required pretty basic defending.

I’m going to eat some cereal and pretend that @Grendel has mentioned that Kasey Palmer was our best player that half

You lot have bi polar

mid table would be brilliant this season
Why aren’t we solidly in the top 6

We’ve lots of players out injured
We should have strengthened in January
Why aren’t we playing better and winning at West Brom

robins is the best manager we’ve had for decades
Why does he keep changing formation?

Accept we’re top 10
Without our top players on form we will not go away to a team like West Brom and win
Stop being so binary and bi polar

If anything, robins team selections are bi polar

 

[chiefdave]

It is the right financial decision not to gamble on this season. Fans won’t like it but it’s right.

When we're signing, for us, big money signings and bringing most players in on 4 or 5 year contracts how can people not see there's a long term plan?

We don't even have a full staff at the moment FFS, more roles with the first team advertised today

I get that it's frustrating and the last few games have been dire but some of the over reactions are crazy even by this forums standards

 

[duffer]

Just not enough spark (or spite) in the side at the moment. I know we can play beautiful football, but we need to start getting a foot in and rattling them a bit too. Tempo is also far too low, West Brom are cruising this...

It’s not the scoreline that bothers me. It’s the manner of the performance. The ease we let them score. It’s the lack of investment in players in January that’s forced us to revert back to a formation that no longer works for us.

Agree about the hysteria, however, there are notable WUMs stirring it up this evening.

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

We’re stuck with Dasilva for 4 years?!

Fans want Instant Success

Which says a lot really

It does. I always think it shows real character when a player plays well when the rest of the side doesn't.

 

[PVA]

Long and short of it.

Does seem to be the script when we play with a 3 at the back. The second goal should not happen with 3 CB in the box.

Yeah similar to the start of the season in this formation.

Reasonable on the ball, some good chances, but gifting silly goals away.

 

[fernandopartridge]

Predictions for the second half everyone?

We concede a 3rd on 52 minutes and Robins changes it, the game ends 3-0 but we have a shot on target on the 81st minute

Has Bidwell shagged Robins’ wife or something?

Yes. He caught the clap, apparently

Are you pissed? He has not played his best left back, his £4 million centre half and his best goalkeeper by choice.

He has reverted to wing backs when they’ve failed this season. He left the most expensive signing on the bench.

Just nonsense

 

[Alkhen]

Simms is so isolated, it's obvious he needs balls in behind he can run on to. Don't think there has been a single one so far

 

[Jamesimus]

Well any good full back would have prevented the cross. It required pretty basic defending.

A Maidstone player absolutely skinned Bidwell and got a good cross in. A fullback won’t stop every cross.

 

[Nick]

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

Bit random.

 

[robbiethemole]

I’ll bet that Cwr bloke doesn’t ask Robins any hard questions again after the game ……..like Jds just why?

There was one but then he had nothing at all with him. He won a corner

He won't

Taxi for Robins is it?

 

[procdoc]

Palmer is the only one that can come off with any credit in the first half

 

[alfielloyd]

Not a massive fan of either keeper but Collins is doing fuck all for those goals.

Possibly but why drop a keeper when we had found a winning formula.

 

[Domo]

come on boys

 

[glasgowfan]

Predictions for the second half everyone?

More moans from everyone here

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

What a sub, that’s going to win us this game.

 

[procdoc]

Wright on

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Haha… La Liga scouts. Get to watch CoH on the bench now

 

[Major Tom]

O’hare hooked ..

 

[Nick]

Wright on for O'Hare.

Maybe he's ill too.

 

[Calista]

Ben Wilson static for both goals. Surely he should be making himself look big.

Seriously?

 

[Yorkshire SB]

Christ O’Hare off. I know he’s been bad but we need him on if we are going to get anything.

Repeatedly shooting ourselves in the foot. Really good.

 

[shepardo01]

OHare - has robins just lost his shit with ohare?

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

What a start from kick off

 

[JohnWH]

Haji on.
Two things I've liked recently 1) his new hairdo, 2) he actually wears long sleeve jerseys rather than just long undershirt
