Now, I dont want this to cascade in to a "Robins' out" thread. I also dont want people.to think that's where I'm aiming with this as that's not where I'm going.
With that said, it's a reoccurring theme we seem to be having with Robin's. As a player, Robin's was a pretty handy striker, so why can he not get his team to fucking shoot. We play some great football at times and easily matched a premier league team tonight, in all departments apart from fucking shooting. They were relentless, every single forward player tonight wanted to rip the net apart with their shot, ok, they stuck about 20 in the stands, but they got 3 goals. Their keeper never broke a sweat. Easiest ge of his career tonight.
Same against Southend, bosses the game, kept the ball for huge periods, only 1 goal to show and almost got pegged back. Same as with Gillingham. 0-0 (granted 1 of the 3 disallowed goals should of stood) against a team EVERY other team has put 5 past.
Where is our passion to want to score goals. Like McNulty, he wanted goals, Arma the same, who do we have that wants it? Not a single player on the pitch tonight looked like they wanted to shoot, let alone score! Why? What's going wrong? Is it mental? A confidence thing? Just not good enough up front? Is this tiki taka stuff Robin's has us playing too indirect and going against us? I just dont get it.
*Edit, as a side post, I dont want to sound negative because we played very well tonight and I really enjoyed an evening in Watford with my lad, just pointing out an reoccurring thing that has been an issue for many months now. And ultimately, the difference between a win and a loss tonight (or promotion or not last season).
