The ref presumably won a competition to have a go at reffing or was an actor and part of the documentary?

The ref got all the major decisions right. He handled the game very evenly.

What a load of shit. You don't give refunds for a losing a game of football for god sake. If we did that after every poor result we would have gone bust a long time ago. What an over-reaction.

You give refunds for absolutely terrible performances that lead to national humiliation.

 

[Flying Fokker]

I just turned my central heating on. Maybe that will help?

 

[fernandopartridge]

On Robins that one. We look woefully ill prepared to defend the long throw and when we needed intensity on the pitch he plays Liam Kelly

 

[robbiethemole]

How can that be defended? Totally lacking in everything.
Robins needs to have some good answera

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

Hope they draw Fleetwood or Preston and get knocked out.

Not sure about that could of been a few pens to us that var would have given,

 

[Speedie's Head]

Our defence is poor - they showed that up

Let them humiliate another few teams first

 

[Tommo1993]

Sort of not even bothered with Robins comments after that tbh

Any ball into the box and they panic. Without McF it’s carnage

 

[skyblu3sk]

Who gives a fuck how you see it, we can’t time travel so keeper mistakes or not we should be putting non league teams to bed before they even get a sniff.

Who put 10p in the dickhead? I have an opinion and can put it in here if I like.

What did he say?

Embarrassing. Even when we were pressing on them in the last 20 minutes, we were sloppy and finished poorly.

This could have been pivotal; a good cup run, confidence boost to a depleted squad that’s feeling the pressure, but no. We hand 4 goals to a bunch of jumped up part timers who capitalised on our sheer inability to do the basic things correctly. And MR doesn’t get off either, his decision making was poor again, which left us 4-1 and a man down.

Kelly was hopeless, Moore was clearly not focused, Dabo was just shit, and Vik was left chasing down the channels by himself. Palmer did well, but he spoils it by trying those idiotic flicks at the wrong time when we’re building an attack.
Kane just worries me on the ball, he never looks quite sure what to do, and his crosses are mediocre. Bidwell looked knackered and leggy, and Allen looked like his legs had no strength to get a pass through.

Same shit, different year.
Now we have the anxiety of the league and another bad injury to add to the list. Great crack.

Not sure they will.

 

[EalingSB]

Busiest match thread of the season?

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Let them humiliate another few teams first

They’ll get beat 5-0 by Preston probably or anyone else who bothers to show up

 

[shmmeee]

Well well well.

Firstly fair play Wrexham. Their fans will have a good Saturday night. Their players pulled every trick in the book to keep the lead we gifted them and the ref fell for all of them.

Moore: shite. Not even worth his place on the bench. Put a kid on for the experience.

Defence: shocking, so poor with balls into the box. Panzo looked better second half until he got (unfairly IMO) sent off.

Midfield: Kelly should never wear the shirt again. Not even League standard, so long and thanks for all the fish. Palmer was OK but had nothing to work with and was being fouled all game with no protection. Sheaf isn’t a replacement for Hamer, without Hamer we have no drive.

Attack: Tavares is gash and people need to accept it, Vik did OK but should have done more and but like the rest of the team needs to fucking shoot especially against this keeper. Palmer was the only one that seemed to clock any shot on target would go in today.

Subs far too late and baffling at times, bringing Allen on for Waghorn when you need a goal is like chopping your cock off when you need a shag, just pointless. Hamer should have been on after ten minutes. Robins has to take some blame there but ultimately if the defence hasn’t given away three goals the rest would have won that at a canter.

 

[Otis]

What sort of example does it give to the players too? Oh we don't need to compete in this match to win. Really amateurish management.

I just think he felt he HAD to rest players. He obviously knew we needed to compete, but it must have been hard to weigh up. Our squad is paper thin. I don't think he had too much choice to be honest and most people were calling for Moore to be given a go in the cup, so I don't think you can criticise Robins too much for that. We need a new keeper, full stop.

It was a tough choice for Robins tonight, but the team he DID put out, should have been good enough to win the game anyway.

He missed a clear pen on Gyok and at least a dozen fouls on Palmer.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

I don’t blame him for the selection. I do blame him for keeping that horror show going into the second half.

We were just saying the same but we shouldn’t have lost still palmer should have buried his chance

 

[Tommo1993]

What did he say?

Nothing yet

He should have changed it when it was clear to everybody it wasn't going to end well.

National humiliation? We are just a Championship side you know We are hardly Everton or West Ham etc.

Waghorn had 75 minutes to score.

Absolutely he needed to rest players.

Oh yeah? Watch MOTD and the Disney documentary

Agree - the players are knackered but the team should have been enough.

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

Sheffield Wednesday keeping us off the back pages.

You concede 4 against Conference garbage you definitely should lose.

 

[Liquid Gold]

Mad cup tie. We’ll get over it

 

[shmmeee]

Waghorn had 75 minutes to score.

He looked far more threatening and much better than Allen. He’s not up to scratch but unless Nee is coming on he’s the most attacking player we had available.

 

[Otis]

He should have changed it when it was clear to everybody it wasn't going to end well.

But it wasn't clear was it. In the end we should have won, especially when down to 10 players. It wasn't clear at all and we missed some glorious chances at the end.

Yes it was clear, we had nothing through the middle.

He should have made the changes at half time.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

1-3 at half time at home to non league, he makes no changes even with a fit Hamer on the bench. It’s indefensible.
