Thought we’ve played well tonight, but let down by our keeper again.

Let down by our keeper and VAR. I think their goals could’ve been saved by a better keeper.

 

[robbiekeane]

oh don’t worry 2 goals down with 6 minutes to go and matt grimes is coming on

 

[Paul Anthony]

We wait until five minutes to go and finally make four changes.

Great game management. Absolutely brilliant.

 

[Shannerz]

Three absolutely massive decisions go against us.

With VAR, that's unacceptable.

I can just about accept the second goal. Just. I can see why they may say there's an element of doubt. But the two penalties weren't acceptable.

 

[mark82]

We've played pretty well overall. Been absolutely shafted by poor officiating tonight.

 

[jordan210]

Don’t we have a different GK coach to last years it’s like rushworth is a different man

 

[coop]

Sorry but blaming Rushworth for that goal - have a word with yourselves - ball has gone in exactly the one place that makes impossible to save

Ye he couldn't do anything about the 3rd but fuck me he was at fault for 2nd.

 

[jim20]

Poor from Torp but he looks knackered

 

[Sky Blue Goblin]

Bit annoyed with Frank. Picked the right team and the ref and VAR have been scandalous.

But was clear we needed subs on around sixty minutes to support the lads. He’s often stressed how everyone needs to play their part.

So let’s get them on to play their part.

FOUR CHANGES when its too fucking late

 

[Tommo1993]

Collins had already been crucified by this point tbf

 

[fatso]

Grimes??? Yea like hes going to get us back in this

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

He saved one
So frustrating that

Should and could have had 2 pens and second goal hand ball

But Rushworth should be doing better with all 3 goals

 

[DT-R]

How have we got to the 84th min amd BTA for Gboho has been pur only fucking sub at 2-1 and now 3-1 down! Lampard has made some fucking diabolical tactical decisions this season!

Changes have come too late for me, once it went 2-1 it should have been done.

 

[jim20]

Ye he couldn't do anything about the 3rd but fuck me he was at fault for 2nd.

Second time as a handball though. If he doesn’t handle it it doesn’t go in

 

[Evo1883]

We've played pretty well overall. Been absolutely shafted by poor officiating tonight.

WEve done ourself tbh

 

[Cov-lad]

should of done this 15mins ago

 

[HadjiChippo]

Let down by our keeper and VAR. I think their goals could’ve been saved by a better keeper.

A premier league quality keeper deals with that third, and claims the cross for the second

 

[OldBedrocker]

On Lampard this last 20 minutes players dead on their feetone sub BTA ffs

 

[Gint11]

I don’t understand this logic of the subs and timings tonight.

We’ve played so well tonight up until the equaliser. We’ve absolutely thrown this game away. We had it!!!!

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Collins had already been crucified by this point tbf

Cause he wasn’t our best player for a season

 

[wingy]

Get Bobby back in there,subs?
Frank's thrown the towel in.

 

[Jake22]

When was the last time Lampard actually changed a game to come from behind?

 

[Skyblueabo1111]

4 changes at 85 minutes. Team selection good, but dreadful decision making from Lampard..at times, I despair.

 

[2024/25 League 1 Champs?]

That was next level finishing. And that's what weve been lacking.

Difference between that and the shot Tats had in the first half, should’ve done similar

 

[skyblue025]

Sums it up. Cherif should have been on before the free kick. Torp completely overhits the cross. Pinnock kicks it straight out.

 

[PVA]

Far too late with the subs

 

[Nick]

Feel like pure shit just want the championship back

 

[MAFF]

Subs are 20 mins too late

 

[OldBedrocker]

Lampard is wank at subs.
3-1 down brings on Grimes and leaves Simms on the bench fucking idiot

 

[robbiethemole]

Attwell and shit var!! What a fucking shitshow

 

[gspotgaz]

BTA absolutely brilliant just running into blind alleys head down

 

[chiefdave]

Are we meant to accept this standard of goalkeeping all season then?

Are you genuinely suggesting we play Bentley or Wilson? At best you'd be looking at only being able to make a change in January and I can't see much chance of King signing off on that after spending £22m on Rushworth.

We know he's better than this, we have to trust that the coaches, both on the footballing side and potentially on the mental side, can work out what is going on and get it sorted.

 

[larry_david]

Im proud of our team tonight.

Im not proud of our coaching staff though. They've sat on their hands and watched our players run themselves into the ground
