Admittedly it’s Robins under pressure. But you have to say the poor run has coincided with Kings arrival. It’s clearly a morale/confidence issue. I wonder what impact he’s having

I think it’s time for back to basics. Stop pissing about up front. Front three of Wright, Simms and Saka - our 3 best forwards. Stop pissing about at the back. MVE Thomas Kitching Bidwell/jds. Rotate Torp and Rudoni. Tell Sheaf and Eccles to stay fit for a long season ahead for them.

Oh come on. If we don’t win the next 70 it will be 2 in 89.

Eccles problem tonight was that he had to spend most of it wiping Van Ewijk’s arse.

So has pint of wine Sam taken over at King of Shaves? Presumably to market their nasal hair trimmer. There was a vacancy as Will King will shortly be rolled out as the missing piece of our jigsaw playing in a back 7 retrieving non trapped balls from Wright and Simns

Yes, snatching at things badly. Even the goal was a catastrophe!

Agree. It reeked of tension which transmitted into an incredibly poor quality of game. We’re tense and tight and lacking leadership and experience. For me it’s now time to pick on personality. Which means starters have to include Bassette, Wilson (when fit), Kitching and Bidwell. The only crumbs...

They simply cannot play together as a front two. The ball would not stick at all.

Those knocking Eccles need to examine the game. Van Ewijk was being torn a new one which meant Eccles basically played RWB first half. We were just bizarrely fortunate that they didn’t just pour through our vacated midfield.

Defensively Lati is fine. On the ball he is utterly horrific. Sheaf 6 just for work rate. Everyone else a 5.

The depressing thing is Simms can’t make that pass. I was praying he’d amble along enough to get the shot off as he would just have cannoned it into their CH if he’d have passed.

Fair play to him for trotting it out. I’d have preferred him to say we’ll have them in tomorrow for practice trapping, passing, catching and avoiding getting robbed of the ball in the process of making a 3 yard pass

Christ, that was like watching something up The Memorial Park. In summary two wing backs got absolutely roasted, Lati shakes like a shitting dog whenever the ball comes near him. Simms and Wright’s ball retention was almost impossibly poor. Both teams bizarrely just deserted the midfield. Why...

Jesus that was poor. Absolutely crying out for back 4. Rudoni off. Why is Eccles playing right WB as well as MVE? We can’t play 5 at the back with mve. Flat back 4. Stick Lati midfield just to fill the seismic chasm that has been vacated by Eccles as he has to bail Ewijk out. Really can’t see us...

Pleased to see Wright in. By far our most talented attacker. Carries on with the one laconic/one hassler combo up front.

And we definitely will. As I said, he can score a goal or two.

Of course I’m talking about net spend. This £45m is bandied about as if we’re just stockpiling talent. To get the £45m we’ve sold the two best players we’ve had in decades. If we’d kept them AND spent £45m it would be disastrous. But we haven’t.

We haven’t spent significant funds. We’ve basically broken even. It’s a myth.

We know he can score a goal or two. But if he’s not doing that he adds nothing else. His first touch is embarrassing.

Are you serious? Go back all the way to when he started if you like - there’s the evidence.
