We need a better keeper. Doesn't matter how many keepers you have if they are not good enough. I think a new keeper should be one of the priorities.

Yup. We have been really close this season and that's after an awful start and a number of new players taking an age to get going.

How many have been down to Collins? Quite a few I think. A good keeper can make all the difference in the world. As a defence, if you have a top keeper between the sticks behind you, it can create such a feeling of confidence. I saw the stats on Everton's defence. Right up there with the best...

Watching those highlights I really don't get the criticism of Thomas for that second goal. Happens all the time and has happened throughout the history of competitive sport. You get a head or face injury and immediately your body reacts to that as you feel it, then you try to continue, only...

I think that just sums everything up in a nutshell. I think next season we will be absolutely fine and ready to make a real challenge of the top 3. Look how Simms started off and Wright's poor passage of form, before coming good. First season stepping up from L1 to Championship for Thomas and...

Defensive errors of late have been very prominent haven't they. Isn't that about 4 goals Collins has been responsible for in as many games? Thomas, Kitching and Lati have all made crucial errors.

It's not weird if he's a utility player, surely? He can slot in (not saying he excels in any of them) in a number of positions. Makes sense doesn't it? Same reason Eccles is sometimes moved to right back, even if he had a poor game the previous one in midfield.

We were not quite the same side after his injury either, because we had no replacement.

Is that the full stat? I have seen their benches and they have had much better players to bring on as subs than we have. Have you included substitutions etc? How many subs? And when? And I get your point, but in many games our bench has looked very weak hasn't it.

Yes and Robins has been consistently saying the players have been suffering from fatigue. The squad isn't big enough.

New to this football malarkey are you? 🤔

I don't believe it's been bad tactics. We were excellent against Wolves, excellent in the second half against Man U, great against Leeds. 8'm not having this we've been shit for weeks. That makes it sound like there have been no good performances and there have. It's consistency we have lacked.

Been a long season with a small squad and we were hit by injuries too. To be expected. I don't think we can criticise the players too much at all tonight. If Robins says it was difficult for him to field a team, I believe him.

They will I'm sure.

Robins has come out tonight and said it was difficult for him to field a team.

People have to remember, these two CB's were playing L1 football last season. It's a step up. They will get better. You can see there is some quality there.

I honestly don't think we had much choice. The players gave everything on Sunday.

How's Kelly doing?

Not surprised. Godden and Kelly will be very rusty. A lot of changes, so it might take time to get going.

How annoying. That makes so much more sense.
