3 times in 5 years - we’re not off target are we? It’s not unreasonable to get some bodies in for next season and have a right go at playoffs with a flirtation of automatics. We’ve achieved a lot this season and a lot of younger players will naturally develop and improve. We have invested...

We’re short in a lot of areas and the season has caught up us. Having to play Hull a few days after the semi-final was a difficult ask. In the priorities I outlined earlier in the thread show how short we are in places. We play 4-2-3-1 and going into next season we have; 2 recognised wingers, 3...

If we can win the golden glove with Ben Wilson in goal, that should tell you everything you need to know. My priority list and indeed the players our ITKs have shared, will not have changed. We have a lot of areas where we have 1-2 options I’m not going to repeat the same things in relation...

Had he smashed the result would’ve been the same - it ricochets off the forward and goes in. If the pass was any weaker the forward would’ve got there first.

What did Oggy say he would’ve done? In his day he could pick up back passes.

If we can, then we should. We signed Bidwell when we were a mid table side and our trajectory as a club has changed since then. If JDS played like he did last night, week in and week out, he would be first choice.

Robins has come and said the goal was due to a misplaced back pass so we know where the blame lies internally. Thomas having an otherwise good game doesn’t change that it was his fault. He was knackered and made the same mistake twice which lead to a goal. It’s no good kicking off at Collins...

As we’ve had injuries and suspensions…

With a full bill of health, what was Robins starting eleven?

Since we switched from 4-2-3-1, his reintroduction to the team was when Sheaf got injured, then Torp gets injured and finally Sakamoto. In 2024, his involvement is mostly because our best XI was not available.

Exactly. For example, Sakamoto in the lead up to his injury, played more less 90m every game when we switched to 4-2-3-1. His performances started to tail off in the 2-3 games prior to his injury.

Lati has only been starting because of injuries. We’ve mostly played the best team that’s available to us this season. MVE is not a winger and next season I doubt will ever play there if we recruit well. Likewise, with CM - should never play there again if we being in 1-2 players.

It’s an accumulation of the season. We haven’t had depth and it’s caught up with us. We didn’t decide to start JDS and Eccles on the wings, Godden and Kelly’s first starts since Feb and March for ‘lols’. The quality is obviously higher, but co no pared to last season, we have about 4 less...

He kicked the ball onto the striker, his best bet would’ve been to concede a penalty and a red card. Which would’ve probably led to a worse outcome than a goal.

We were playing really well when Sheaf was conducting things in midfield but he needed to go off before he injured himself. We ended the game with Palmer, Allen and Kelly in midfield none of which are starting calibre players for a playoff contending team. Incremental progress, building the...

He tried to do exactly that and the striker was right on him. An absolute hospital pass from Thomas.

Agreed, the team was a spent force tonight which was a concern going into tonight. That doesn’t excuse Thomas back passes. Collins was 100% at fault for goal number one, but not number 3.

What could he have done? He’s kicked the ball into the striker and it’s gone in. I don’t think he could’ve made a clever touch past him either. It was a terrible back pass and it’s not exactly Thomas’ first time doing it - a v similar incident to Watford at home.

100%. He couldn’t just dive on the ball, I had a good view of it unfortunately and Thomas nearly went and did it again moments later.

Good effort from the team today given the context of an emotionally and physically draining FA Cup semi final at the weekend. At 2-2, we should’ve won the game but we had nothing after Sheaf came off. We look lost in midfield without him. However, that does not excuse the defence and Collins...
