Playing narrow can’t be an instruction. Sakamoto hasn’t done it. Anyone who watches for more than 5 mins can see it hurts us.

Never been more confident we’ll lose a game tbh, not sure it matters.

Well generally I hate it when fans try to play amateur psychologist on the players. But in this case, if your first thought about an upcoming game is losing there previously it’s hardly a good sign is it.

I just find it odd that a player’s response to hearing you were going to the game was to mention how often we lose there.

fucking hell ben, just what every fan wants to hear from a player "You're going to the match Saturday? Haha, we always lose there and will do again you absolute mug."

Wilson isn’t playing well he’s been crap

Why's collins in there lol, he was £500k.

Agreed. I'd say, looking at our front 3, the only player we have that would actually suit a slower build up style with more intricate passing is Sakamoto. He's got the quick feet to do it. Wright and now Bassette clearly absolutely thrive in fast break scenarios where they can exploit their...

just a meaningless addition to the discussion really. Everyone knows there's risks to playing out from the back.

So we largely agree then. Wilson has been significantly worse than Dovin though. He's conceded 0.36 more goals than expected per 90. Dovin 0.08. Wilson was one of the worst keepers in the league statistically last season, and based on his 3 games so far ranks 26th/28 this season. It's just a...

No one was saying he has been anything special. Just pointing out how stupid it is to sign a new keeper and drop him after 6 games when he's done nothing wrong, for the very player we know isn't good enough. You're completely missing the point.

What? You don't agree with changing goalkeepers, but because Dovin didn't set the world alight in 6 games it was right to drop him? How does that logic work?

He's not the problem at all, one of our best players and probably second only to Sheaf in terms of importance to the team. People only seem to be happy when he scores, and when he doesn't he's the scapegoat and should be dropped. Thing is, to score every game he would have to be the best player...

Still one of the top wingers in the league for attacking output this season. He is not the problem.

I don't feel bad for him at all regarding Wilson, that's completely on him.

They are not real journalists lets be honest. Basically cheerleaders for the club.

I think your view is being affected by your biases. Eccles is probably getting the benefit of the doubt because he's homegrown and has been here for years vs the new signings. I don't think deliberate lack of effort from anyone is the problem at all.

Second time I've seen someone call our players cucks. Maybe lay off the porn for a bit? I do find it funny when people somehow believe a squad of 20+ all spontaneously down tools for no reason.

This thread is making the opposite point

There must be conversations going on behind the scenes about what Robins thinks is going wrong, what he plans to do about it, and how long he thinks that will take. Personally I think they're much bigger than just poor form, the team isn't working tactically. So I'd expect him to have a...
