Wish Collins would just fuck off

I'm still not sure why it's his fault?

[Otis]

This started okay, but my god, did it all go downhill.

And that has to be one of the worst pieces of defending I have witnessed in some time for the second goal. Thomas and Lati, both shocking.. Thomas especially.

Sheaf was very poor and Rudoni was poor until the last 8-9 mins, when he suddenly decided to start playing.

EMC, non existent. BTA non-existent.

Poor finishing too. First from Torp and then from Sheaf, when he ballooned the header over the bar.

Sheaf now seems to be constantly putting in sub-par performances and he just doesn't look the same player.

It's a bit of a mess to be honest.

 

[Cally Fedora]

I think we've been the better side and how we've lost is beyond me but that's football

Well it’s fairly easily explained. We’ve got as much cutting edge as a blancmange up front and we defend like dog shit.

 

[Ccfcisparks]

I’ll be honest not sure what Collins could do about either

 

[Tommo1993]

I can accept losing. But losing to opposition who’ve done absolutely fuck all to earn it, I struggle with.

Bassette is just the new Tavares. I’m just not seeing what you lot are.

 

[mark82]

Wish Collins would just fuck off

Not entirely sure what he did wrong tonight?

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

That was rubbish. They were in second gear the whole match.

 

[shmmeee]

Handing the St Albans Director of Football £45m and his first ever recruitment gig maybe wasn’t the brightest idea.

 

[stupot07]

I said we played poorly which we did , we weren't poor tonight

The thing is WBA never got out of second gear, we were marginally better but still pretty poor.

 

[Shannerz]

I maintain we need a change in goal.

It would be better to play an actual goalkeeper in there, rather than Brad Collins.

I'm not actually sure what he's supposed to be.

 

[Terry_dactyl]

Fuck it. Just 2 foot one of their players now

It’d be more satisfactory to 2 foot one of ours.

 

[Nick]

Nothing pisses me off more is after a loss and watching our players stand having a laugh with the opposition players.

 

[jto123]

It drives me nuts that Doug king expects better from this squad. He should swallow his pride and accept he has spent terribly in every area.

 

[mark82]

I can accept losing. But losing to opposition who’ve done absolutely fuck all to earn it, I struggle with.

Bassette is just the new Tavares. I’m just not seeing what you lot are.

Bassette is raw, but there's talent there.

 

[Nantwich Skyblues]

soft ... That's what we are. No bite , weak in the tackles and who is the imposter wearing sheafs shirt!!

 

[speedie87]

Another game we have conceded 2 goals……not going to win many games doing that. Simple as

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Can't imagine what that would be like

Just showed me what might have been. We’re miles off the pace in a league where pretty average sides are up the top.

 

[mark82]

Nothing pisses me off more is after a loss and watching our players stand having a laugh with the opposition players.

Exactly this. Not sure they really give a shit. Just here to pick up a pay check.

 

[Skybluekyle]

For me, for the second, Collins was poor but he wasn't the biggest problem, which in itself is a big problem

 

[KenilworthSkyBlue]

I find Sheaf's performances pretty concerning to be honest. It's getting to the point where it's probably better if he didn't start.

 

[Terry_dactyl]

Our overall play wasn't bad against an organised team.

But we concede goals from very few chances given away and miss very good chances ourselves.

Team that do that end up in trouble.

Would like to say it's because it's another bogey ground but it's a theme throughout the season.

Exactly this. I done think West Brom created as many chances as we did. Yet we lose 2-0.

 

[Major Tom]

Sky doing my head in or maybe just the honest reflection is painful.
Grant gets sky MOTM best of a mediocre bunch for them

 

[TomRad85]

I said we played poorly which we did , we weren't poor tonight

I agree, we weren't but I'm sure Lampard will be concerned at our soft underbelly and looking to fix it. Much more winnable games than this coming up.

 

[Chris1987]

Bta isn’t very good is he? To be honest, we’ve not played too badly tonight, but I’d like us to bring back dovin.

He's a total waste of money .

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Trouble is we need how many chances to get one in

Far too many. And I doubt that any of our players score Grant’s goal either.

 

[Evo1883]

Score still the same no matter how you paint it

Not sure that's how you look at football tbh .. the team have just lost their 1st game in 3 under lampard and we've really been quite unlucky

 

[David O'Day]

Some people will strangely get over upset by that, I'm not going to be one of them. Seen much worse performances from us at that ground.

We've played pretty well and were let down by an unlucky own goal and 1 bit of collective defensive shitness.

We have had chances, we are looking better than we have been for a while. The players have an idea of what they are meant to be doing now, we know we need a cb, a cm and a rb so MVE can rest sometimes. They'll come in January.

It's getting slowly better, play like this and take a chance or 2 and we can get a few points under our belts before we strengthen in January.

Onwards and upwards

 

[Corrado]

I’ll be honest not sure what Collins could do about either

He could have saved them…..

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Best buy some 4 leaf clovers. We didn’t lose that because of luck

 

[Ian1779]

Bassette is raw, but there's talent there.

Was certainly better than BTA tonight.

 

[Shannerz]

Not even on the same planet.

He passes and stands still. It's infuriating. He's very lucky to have those assists because take those away and he's been poor

I genuinely don't see what he gives us, other than the occasional dangerous corner.

 

[Evo1883]

The thing is WBA never got out of second gear, we were marginally better but still pretty poor.

If we took our chances we'd have scored 2 or 3 really , I felt that west brom struggled with us second half in large spells

 

[CovValleyBoy]

I agree, we weren't but I'm sure Lampard will be concerned at our soft underbelly and looking to fix it. Much more winnable games than this coming up.

I have suddenly & weirdly become optimistic. Night Nite.

 

[PVA]

I’ll be honest not sure what Collins could do about either

Nothing for the first but a half decent keeper saves the second. He's absolutely pathetic.

 

[Nick]

He could have saved them…..

Did you watch the game?
