Before Hull’s goal, I said if we lose to this lot, we’re in trouble. For all of the faults with our team, we do not make nearly as much basic errors on the ball. That said, our defending at times was still under par against a poor team. We need support in midfield and defence.

Which is a steal, even if it left us short. If we can reinvest that in Jan, we’ve played Hull.

I don’t think we scrapped it. We should’ve scored 4 or 5 and they scored one sucker punch chance. In reality, we battered them and the scoreline doesn’t show that.

I’ve had enough of this team. We’re like a boxer with a glass jaw, KO’d as soon we take a punch. Embarrassing, Hull are shit so if we lose this, we’re in trouble.

In most sports, the decisive moments in matches is the last ‘quarter’ because that’s when people get tired and mistakes happen. The most exciting brand of football to me is winning football. It’s nice having 60-70% on target and 2-3 xG but if we don’t win, I’m not as happy as a dross 1-0 win.

I’d much prefer a striker who scores goals and doesn’t press well. We don’t have a player on the pitch who’s scored more than 2 goals in the team today and we’re 20 games in. Yet, we’ve got BTA and Simms on the bench.

It’s also his 4th game in charge, FL is still figuring it out his best team and places are still up for grabs. If Simms comes off the bench and scores he’ll be back in in the starting lineup. I believe in a season or two, Bassette will be our best player. Right now, he’s just a bit too raw in...

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...
