Primarily, he was at fault. Every goal is a collective failure and whilst WBA got to Thomas and Lati too easily, it came down to a basic error from Lati that put Grant through on goal. If he couldn’t get the ball we needed him to foul the man. That’s why he’s owned it. Lampard was right to say...

Take the emotion out of the result… I certainly left that game thinking we were the better team who created the better chances. On another day, we don’t lose that game and a draw was a fair result. Hearing WBA fans talk us down annoyed me because WBA didn’t create any meaningful chances barring...

Yes, I agree but take it with a pinch of salt that you don’t want to publicly admit we’re in trouble. I want the manager and players to show confidence at this stage of the season.

For whatever reason, we couldn’t sign Browne and Worrall. You add those two to our team and we’re gonna be doing a lot better. Every team needs strong leader and in hindsight, would’ve kept Kelly around. Of course we didn’t plan to not sign a CM.

100% I do think Lampard needs to get Simms and Kitching back in the side. Rudoni at RM ahead of Sakamoto for Hull may make sense because there’s definitely a tactical instruction for Sakamoto to play more narrowly which I’m not sure suits him.

Emotional knee jerking. The team has done well against some of the best teams in the division, our record against the top 8 is respectable, better than it was last season at least. We knew the team was a bit short in areas going into the season. 2-4 signings in Jan could really lift the team to...

Look at Sunderland. Finished 15th last season and the same players are sitting prettily in 4th this season. All they’ve done is added a new manager and a couple of experienced players. That’s all we need. Cut out the BS goals that we concede and we’ll be fine.

Those stats are pretty damning for Robins.

The majority of the public do think it’s reasonable and the voter ID for voting is free of charge. There is an option for someone is eligible to vote but doesn’t have ID or any kind. A lot of comments on here are around it being a solution for a false problem… I don’t think there’s a big fraud...

Only Hull and Plymouth have conceded first more often than us. When we score first, we tend to do well! https://www.soccerstats.com/table.asp?league=england2&tid=sc

Yea because we’ve gone behind in 12 to 14 of our games this season.

They’re all good players and will come good. It’s more likely that the coaching/tactics has been at fault more than these players being bad. I can definitely see Lampard culling more coaches in the summer if he starts to do well.

xG doesn’t take game state into account and because we spend so long chasing games, it will have the effect of skewing our xG upwards and xgA downwards. We don’t need xG / xgA stats to see just how poor our defending is at times. This is something FL really needs to address. I don’t trust Lati...

The goals we concede are just criminally soft. The latest of many this season was WBA’s second last night. If we don’t concede that goal, there’s every chance we rescue a goal and laud the team for a positive performance and result. But no, we gift wrap far too many soft goals and it’s...

Disagree on the NBA, every second count and even recently I went to a match where one team took the lead with 11 seconds on the clock and the other team won it with 6.6 seconds left. I see your point of view, in the context of rugby and the NFL. The fundamental difference with rugby, NFL and...

I’d like to see the rules change to allow teams to play on and to stop the clock for head injuries. Do away with stoppage time and when the ball goes dead after 90m, the game ends.

Would it actually be that hard to do what they do in rugby and just carry on playing? That may go some way in quickening up the game and cutting out playacting.

Yeah, by what measure is 19 goals in a season a failure? All due respect to Robins, he hasn’t done the play any favours by chopping and changing. We’ve got 3 strikers that are not firing because they’re not getting a good run in the side. Well, Bassette has had a decent run in the side and so...

Scored 19 goals last season, what are you talking about? He's a striker, give him chances, he scores and I don’t really care about the other bits.

First shot in the second half too. If we don’t sign a CB in Jan, we ain’t finishing in the top half.
