No worse than tonight

Just been a lot of bizarre errors and some strange selections. I still think a back four of MvE, Thomas, Kitching and Bidwell next season would be solid

Good effort from the team today given the context of an emotionally and physically draining FA Cup semi final at the weekend.
At 2-2, we should’ve won the game but we had nothing after Sheaf came off. We look lost in midfield without him.
However, that does not excuse the defence and Collins for gifting 3 goals. Thomas looked tired and his passing in the second half went downhill.
We can plan for next season now because our season is all hit over now.

I think recency bias is at play here. Collins first was a shocker. The third was more Thomas’ fault TBH, the ball was criminally underhit.

One comment and I did. Interesting that nobody hounds a poster calling Kelly a coward but them’s the breaks.
And I’m sorry but take good players out of any team and of course they won’t do as well. Why do Gyo and Hamer invalidate the end result?

Better to attack rather than sit in if you are a team prone to mistakes and conceding ?
Playing within ourselves is often a problem and something that needs addressing.. playing too many defensive minded players on the pitch at once will only ever give shitty performances

100%. He couldn’t just dive on the ball, I had a good view of it unfortunately and Thomas nearly went and did it again moments later.

I genuinley can't remember moore having the worst display ever against Wrexham.? I know he didn't save one that was straight at him kind of but apart from that what else did he do ?

Yep - A position that Robins shouldn't have been looking at to replace has now given him the ball ache of all headaches.
So a full day's extra rest after a game they played 33% less minutes. Of course it's a valid reason!
Robins said tonight that O'Hare ran 17k on Sunday. Normally I guess he'd be around 10k. That's a huge difference.
The players were dead on their feet on Sunday, some couldn't even make it for tonight and those that did looked very tired by the end.
I can't believe anyone can say just because they're professional footballers they should have been able to play like normal this evening.

He’s carrying out his instructions, never been an expansive player

He seems flat footed and languid, case in point for the third. A "sharp" keeper is aware and puts his foot through the ball clearing everything.
He just looks off it. Cost us (ridiculously - as average as we were) three points tonight.
At least a point against Southampton too.
He isn't the answer and that becomes more apparent the more games he plays.

Thomas was absolutely fucked for the last 20

There's people telling him he is talking shit.
We were not meant to be that far along yet but they were far better than expected.
There was no way we could replace Vik with a player even half as good as he is proving to be and this was a season you had us going down in december and january.
You get reactionary when city lose, it hurts us all but you do massively over react.

I guess the better question is , just how fatigued have we been for weeks , considering we've been fucking shit for weeks and everybody keeps saying it's because we're tired
United won 4-2 tonight

Agreed, the team was a spent force tonight which was a concern going into tonight. That doesn’t excuse Thomas back passes.
Collins was 100% at fault for goal number one, but not number 3.

Against one of the worst team to ever play in the PL

I think lots of players hit a wall five or six games ago. I said this a while ago about how we’ve a lot of players who aren’t used to that many games. Even Godden, who has hardly played, I think has played more than last season. Wright MvE and Saka used to fewer games at a lower tempo abroad, Torp coming off the back of a season, etc etc. Simms and Thomas being proper first teamers at their club for the first time. Palmer actually playing. All adds up.

I don't think it had anything to do with substitutions. The best football we played was in the second half and came to an abrupt ending as soon as the winner went in. Despite some bizarre goal gifting, we were still well in it until The Barnsley Boys decided to give Hull an extra goal to win the game. I would even go as far as to say if it wasn't for that we had a good chance to go on and win ourselves. The momentum was with us and they were resulting to shithousing due to being under pressure. As soon as that goal went in our heads dropped, and it looked like all we wanted was the referee to blow the final whistle and put an end to the season.

5/6 quality additions and we will be good next year
its the defence for me though, be interesting who’s the starting back 3
wright and simms will be deadly next year, wouldn’t want to face them mason Clark sakamoto

He’s so far down the list of issues and is obviously going to be backup to whoever we replace O’Hare with, I don’t get this kind of comment. Same as people desperate to sell Lati or Dasilva. We’ve got a tiny squad, people need to stop wanting to sell everyone who isn’t in their first XI

Unbelievably, Oggy said on the radio that Premier League clubs might come in for him! Nearly crashed when he said that!
They were playing the leagues whipping boys !!!
We had a ref who gave a pen when foul that was outside the area and two howlers.

how? They played a team that has conceded 92 goals this season and could very likely ship 100 by the end of the end of the season, all this while actually be 6thin the PL
we played a team who re 1 place above us in the league
You can't compared the 2 games
if we'd played Rotherham then you may have a point
