Last ten or so were a bit hairier than they should have been after Simms went off, but that was as straightforward a win as you will see, really. Some of the desire to win the ball back from them and keep the pressure on was exceptional.

That was an excellent half of football. Rudoni sensational. Need to close this out.

It must be what they've been asked to do; prioritise keeping the ball over riskier, but potentially more beneficial, actions. It does nullify us, imo, but it may also stop teams breaking against us.

You can't have any kind of success without significant financial backing, but you can become something like Man United or Chelsea who seem to have become completely disconnected from their fanbases, mostly treating them with contempt whilst they chase the corporate and tourist money; they don't...

I quite like them nowadays; they're good, but still come across as a proper football club, rather than a corporate global mega-brand. They still seem to have their soul intact.

Absolutely that should have been. He cleaned him out; i.e., he challenged his opponent after the ball had gone. That's a foul.

The OP comes across as a complete bell-end. Why would you link someone into something that's deliberately dissing them? What purpose does it serve? It's not the worst example, but it's a good demonstration of how social media really brings out the twat in people.

He appeared to be intoxicated in some way.

Agreed. No issue with the performance other than the inability to actually put the thing in the net.

But you saw the game; they were extremely poor, and had next to no attacking threat. It was a game we should have won with something to spare. It wasn't a given going into it, but as the game panned out, that's a very disappointing game not to win. I'm not expecting Luton or Plymouth to be as...

He was wrong-footed from the deflection!

Yes. He looked effective, and played in the ball across the box for the last chance.

It was, just. We should also have had a penalty. But we should also have scored lots of goals, we had the chances.

Not really. We won't come across a team with less attacking threat again this season. It should have been a straightforward three points.

And why is there one kit a year that we just never win in? That pisses me off, too.

That's pissed me off. Should have buried them, they were very poor. Only ourselves to blame.

That wasn't the most exciting half of football, but we should be winning on the balance of it. Despite the fact they've got almost nothing in attack, our defence really doesn't fill me with confidence.

Wasn't their first half of the season relegation form?

Possibly, but you'd think it would be worth waiting for a less thankless job, considering the state of them, and their impatience. I suppose you can't guarantee you're going to get offers, though, and he'd back himself.

Possibly at Stoke with their record of firing managers that might be true. A more sensible ownership would have realised they need a complete reset a while ago, as they've been rotten for a good few seasons now. I wouldn't be surprised if Robins got assurances that he'd be safe even if they...
