    Retrospective action

    Didn't think they could if it had been spotted by the ref and addressed at the time by the yellow, but not 100% on all the rule changes for this season.

    Robins having a Partridge moment trying to get Tavares to listen. Fabio. FABIO. FABIO!!!

    Some pretty woeful blind hopeful crossing into the box this last 20 minutes

    Eccles has got to get backpost for that Gyokeres cross. 1-0 down with 20 mins to go and 1 player in thebox. Not like it was a fast counter.

    Hyam in a headlock and a blatant shirt pull on Fadz from that corner. Dunno how the ref can keep ignoring this stuff.

    Managed to push the Sunderland defence back 15 metres this half and now we're playing balls over the top...

    Too many games under Robins we try to keep things tight first half and then go for it 2nd half. I'll never understand why you'd try to win a game in 45 minutes when you could win it 90.

    Feel really sorry for Eccles, he's a fantastic player but I'm struggling to remember anyone getting so many things wrong in 1 half.

    Viveash screaming his head of trying to get them to pass and move a bit. Sunderland were always going to come out flying so not too surprised by the start. Would bring on Dabo and Palmer at half time. Whole defence is too deep, including the wingbacks and then the DMs are too close to the CBs...

    Always been like that here. They have the crowd noise right down and the commentary loud as fuck. Annoying as hell.

    Dunno how the ref hasn't booked Ballard for persistent fouling yet. About what i'd expect for a 55 year old wearing an alice band.

    Might as well change Hamer and Allen's positions now Hamer is booked. Allen isn't creative enough alone there, his style is running off players. Let him do Hamer's donkey work in midfield.

    Slovakian commentary just called Hamer a porcupine.

    Rotherham attendance

    Am actually back in the UK for this one. Currently working out the logistics of getting from Worcester to Coventry on a Sunday afternoon in the hope it's feasible. Hope the trains are available, reliable and that my parents will take my daughter. What could possibly go wrong? 😂

    I think most of our wives would find that next level with talk of Dabo assisting more often by regularly getting round the back.

    Waghorn

    We play a quick (counter) attacking style, with focus on getting the ball forward with the purpose of Gyokeres pulling into a channel and getting 1 on 1 with a defender. O'Hare presses and wins the ball back high up the pitch, Hamer plays progressive passes very quickly or carries the ball...

    Fabio Tavares Signs New Deal

    There aren't many attributes in footballers quite like raw pace for being able to change the way defenders defend, just with the knowledge it's there. It's also quite rare to find genuinely rapid players with composed finishing. It's a dangerous combination and allows you to influence games even...

    Genuinely think i could write Robins post match interviews for him without even watching the game. 😂
