To be fair, it was before the kick off.

I think some people use exciting to describe that they are looking forward to seeing how the fringe players get on. In this case terribly.

Just seen the 4th goal. Eccles wasn't close enough to bottle the header.

Have no idea why fans are really annoyed on here .. fixture congestion pre world cup is a farce , we don't need it and we played a relatively weak team compared to the 1st 11 ..

We need as many days off between matches as possible this season

You have NO IDEA why fans are annoyed at their favourite team losing?

Really?

Exactly. Did anyone who saw the lineup seriously believe we had any real intentions to progress in this competition?
Click to expand...

For those who think we are serious play off contenders that is the strength and depth.

It wasnt a totally rookie line up.

No one wanted to be there tonight, fans didn’t and the players looked equally as hacked off and embarrassed at this whole fiasco

Please just get The CBS pitch safe, even if a little bit scruffy for next week cause I can’t do that again

Robins has rhe stitched the fans up tonight. whether you like it or not, that's the case. We'll have our better players without any match action for nearly 2 weeks on Saturday. Even giving them short stints spread out in this game would make sure we've not been completely out played. Fucking frustrating. Burroughs looks good but been isolated.....there's one positive!!

Did anyone really expect this team to be different to the team he played. My only surprise was Walker starting thought Godden may have started and swapped with Vik. Didn’t expect Hamer or Sheaf to start and Doyle and the new LWB were going play. Struggle to see how Robins has stitched anyone up

The huge fucking hole in central midfield for 90 minutes.

They should really say before fans travel if there's no intention to win.

Don’t like losing any game but not too fazed by this plenty of Championship teams gone out Middlesbrough, Sunderland, Reading, Hull, Cardiff, Luton, Wigan all to lower league teams and Stoke, QPR, Swansea, Blackpool, to lower leagues on penalties. Move onto Millwall now team I expect to be top ten, let’s see how we fair.

That the 2 CMs performance today does help the people who say Hamer would be harder to replace

Didn’t Robins call you this afternoon to let you know the team Nick. He called me that’s why I stopped at home. So you think Robins should have gone on twitter and to say to fans don’t come I’m purposely going to leave a gapping hole in midfield. You are mad. He was also going to give Eccles a run out with Allen

Getting spanked does who a favour exactly?
Click to expand...

Did we get spanked? yes a horrid game for many reason's but stats suggest we had 60% of the ball. We simply failed to use it to good effect. Never mentioned about a favour?
I'll stand by what I said, there was a plan regardless of result. Am I bothered? NO

Sorry for pointing it out.

There is nobody in our team worse than him tonight. Nowhere near.
Click to expand...

But he is one part in a sum of parts.

Dabo and Adaramola really ripped Bristol down the flanks didnt they?
Which so many fans thought they would do at Sunderland if they had started.

The game was realistically over after half an hour. You may as well save your big names and give your youngsters a chance.

Seriously worried about Saturday. Senior players going into a game in 37 degree heat seriously under cooked. I can only assume there was a bcd friendly on Monday, because to leave them all out makes no sense.

I'm a big Robins fan, but I thought that team selection was very disrespectful to people who had gone to great efforts just to be there. People sat at home on their arse who are 'not bothered' can fuck off.

It is coming across like you have a vendetta against him.

Maybe a bit of leeway for him given he's rarely let us down before? We can hardly decide he's out of his depth after just two poor performances.
