Thought robins came across well. He has convinced me he knows more now. He will get it right and rather than leaving last minute subs he now has taken off fadz and dasilva who just aren’t at the races. Wilson could also now be sacrificed which again we would agree with.
That second half and how it panned out means I am confident something will happen. Last few games I’ve been unsure and if we just rolled over today then I would be more worried but seems a common drive now. Clearer tactics

It isn't, clearly. They scored from a completely free header in the middle of the goal.

We were getting carved open first half while creating barely anything of note as it was.
Binks is one of the few who haven’t had a bad game. I don’t see why he keeps getting dropped.

Presumably because of the amount spent on Kitching
Agree he hasn't done anything wrong, but I guess Robins felt he had to play his £4m man.
If we do play 3 at the back again next time out I think Binks will be back in (and Fadz out).

Can't remember a free header in the middle of the goal

Can remember someone having the freedom of the penalty area to score an equaliser

But not 7 in a row
The Robins post-match interview makes very little sense to me, but I think that’s because of the bizarre way it’s been transcribed

A lot to digest for me there
Considering the money we’ve spent on them some of these defenders are turning in some disgraceful performances
These strikers are not the problem
Fadz looks done, Allen was absolutely rotten
MR massively copped out not bringing Sakamoto on - He was ready and the PA announcer even announced it as a triple sub, no clue how your best player comfortably from your last match goes and gets NIL minutes in the following

Presumably he wants O’Hare to get the minutes instead

I had the same with tv only goal i saw was the penalty so there’s not a lot I can say.
Why Sakamoto didn’t come on is anot hey mystery his close control could have attracted fouls, and with Antony Taylor in the middle who knows what we might have got.
...and weighing it up against the additional amount he'll be asked to spend in January.

That’s the second time that’s happened as well.

The point was that, under Robins, we haven’t had these prolonged spells of consecutive defeats/ winless runs.
After 1/2 bad results he normally finds a way of stopping the rot.

If it is then Godden should have one for getting decked second half.

Keep the faith: MR
Stupid mistakes have crept in as we're a little bit nervy, having now lost four on the bounce. But in the second half we looked a bit more like us.
"We were livelier, more in control and looked a threat and Haji Wright has got two goals for us, which is obviously a plus. And Ellis Simms looked powerful when he came on.
"You know it's close to happening for us and the fans are staying with us. Hopefully this is just our poor period of the season. We still have a really good chance of turning this round."

I said that weeks ago, to much and lethal opprobrium.

Been at Preston today and the first half was diabolical. Fadz was total shite as was JDS and most of the rest of them. At least finally second half Robins tried something different. My pre match optimism was totally misguided. Significant that at the end of the game it was Robins who led the players over to applaud the fans. First 65;minutes were the worst I've seen this season and that's saying something. Ayari was garbage needs to go back to Brighton in Jan , clueless as to why he was selected. Green shoots last 20;mins but make no mistake we are in a relegation fight based on this

You thought we were bad for the first 20 minutes of the second half ?
Brighton Sky Blue
Well-Known Member
Indeed can’t see Ayari staying unless we also fail to sign midfielders in January.
Ayari? What for? To give the opposition an easy skittle to knock over?

It was better but seriously you thought it was better than bad ? Preston were rubbish , there's no denying it.

If you regard much better as better than shite fair enough. Can you imagine what would have happened if we had been playing Leicester or Leeds? We were better but still not very good
You're deluding yourself in my opinion
