Incredible.

So the best way to remedy the fact they've got no game time is .... to not give them any game time

Gutted with that. Excellent for an hour but a disgrace to let a team back in like that.

Might be being melodramatic but everything around the club is poor at the moment.

Takeover, stadium lease, club shop now power cuts at the training ground; the place is a joke and needs sorting asap.

In that working environment you can see players wanting to leave.

It desperately needs the takeover ratified and we're hanging on in the meantime.

What the fuck was that?

Taking O’Hare off and leaving Allen on when we were sitting back just added fuel to the fire. And not to rectify it when the third went in. Unacceptable. Worst half hour of football I can remember under Robins. Just lackadaisical and timid.

Not fucking happy. And Jamie Allen as captain is a fucking joke. Not sure he even touched the ball after his goal. Just a waste of space but because he hit a lucky goal he’s going to be Fucking untouchable. If I was Waghorn or Palmer I’d be crying into my mulled wine tonight.

He put Kelly on who hasn't played a first team game since last season.

At 3-0 up we were 8th. Now sitting in 14th. Valuable 2points thrown away.

Not quite he did so at half time. When we conceded twice in quick succession that should have triggered a rethink-instead we doubled down and brought on someone crocked to hold the fort.

But I think that’s my point from my original post in fairness he hasn’t got the depth to make those sort of decisions. For me the right decision have bought an extra midfielder on to close down the space but his only option is as you say a crocked Kelly.
I would have liked robins to make the subs quicker as I said he’s not infallible. But I think it’s the overreaction when we have a couple of bad results he’s shit and can’t game manage that I don’t agree with.

He swung his weak foot at it. Even on his good foot he can’t do that. We’ve seen him for four seasons and we know he can’t.

I think Robins saw it , was about 3 or 4 minutes too late as Kelly was on the sideline waiting to come on when they scored the second

Most could see it at 3-0. We needed someone to drag the whole team 10 yards further up the pitch not Kelly!!

OK only just read the above comments. Kelly should have been on after the 3rd however and Tavarres or Waghorn too.

You go back to putting the wing backs high and trying to hit them on the counter as they chase the game. Really still in disbelief at the result

He did do that.

Cut the lad some slack for fuck's sake.

Jamie Allen alone isn't the reason we didn't win this game.

All of the danger came down our right. That doesn't make Burroughs a bad player, but the signs were there...Kane or Dabo should have been on earlier.

Just read the telegraphs ratings. 6.5 for Wilson and everyone else at least a 7. Wtf.

Doyle, Rose, Panzo, Burroughs, Bidwell and Sheaf 7
O'Hare 7.5
Gyokeres and Hamer 8
Allen 8.5

Andy Turner must have left after Viktor scored.

Just makes me wonder what this club could do if it didn’t have to constantly fight fires off the pitch. Compare the two benches today for example.

I identify as a Paddy. You should too.

Gets one over all the Brexit bollocks.

The World Cup however? Forget about any glory for the next decade or so.

I'm the opposite, wasn't to pissed off about defeat last week, fucking raging about today.
Still 4 points off the play offs with 2 games in hand though. Hopefully we make them count.

being 3-0 up with 20 mins left and to draw is not good for morale especially with a young team. Now we have 2 teams coming up on the up. This season could be over as a result of that shocking 20 minute spell.
Click to expand...
We've seen enough this season that we can compete and don't forget, we took a 3 goal lead. Yes, we had a shit half an hour -probably due to being over confident and switched off - while their manager had enough of a clue to change things and MR failed to react.

It's freaky, annoying, frustrating - but it's hardly a reason to rip up season tickets and start booking a spring bank holiday in Spain. or for the morale the team clearly have built up to crumble.

I take this as a kick up the arse, don't take things for granted and, while the squad is threadbare and full of injuries, Kelly (unfortunately) isn't up to it.
