There isn't much to unravel besides a lack of professionalism in the side and his own decision to keep fielding an injured player.

Should apply for the job when he leaves if it's that straightforward!

Very weird interview wasn't it?

Not in the slightest.

I was at the match. …we were poor, we didn’t work hard enough, we didn’t track runners, we didn’t hold the ball up, we didn’t win first or second balls.

Robins said all of that …. Seemed a fair review of our performance to me

Terrible performance. Really really poor. Birmingham players just wanted it more. Pressed with more intent. Tackled harder etc

Thought lati mve and sheaf were sloppy. Palmer never in the game. Wright unlucky with shot hit bar but shite otherwise

Thomas and kithcing going through a poor run

I guess only saving grace is that alot of the players are young and still to improve.

But today it's disappointing

It will be, because we had a great run after an awful start and we have made it to a cup semi final.

We were superb against Leicester, Leeds and Wolves. I am very proud of the team and it looks like we now have a great foundation to build upon for next year

I don't mean it that way, but when essentially 9 of your starting 11 are that poor and can't use injury as an excuse, what do you gain from looking at the minutiae? He felt able to criticise the mentality on Tuesday, but not today.

Went down the Spires to watch it. A rather rotund lady came over to speak to a friend midway through the second half, blocking my view of the screen.
I briefly thought about moving to re-establish my initial good capture of the game.

We only beat 1 superior team to Wembley

Every team will sign new players.

We spent well over £20 million and have gone backwards

Fair enough - for clarity, is Wright carrying an injury, or is it conjecture?

Well, I think we have created a very solid platform for next season and fully expect a playoff challenge.

We have pretty much the same points as last season; maintained a cup run to the semi-finals. How is that going backwards?

Especially if victor goes. Looking forward to seeing EMC

I’m excited for who we’re going to recruit

It's also only the second time in the clubs history that we've got this far in the cup. Forget who we have and haven't beaten.

Ultimately, we've spent money to help us compete in a far, far better division than last season. We also lost two players who completely carried the side last year.

Think we need two attacking midfielders now rather than just the one. Palmer is simply not what we need.

Man Utd have also only beat 1 superior team to get there.

Not all new players are equal

We haven’t gone backwards

We've lost more games than we did last season.
We got 71 points last season. We currently have 63. With games coming up against Ipswich and Hull, can you see us getting 8+ points?
The end point of the season will almost certainly indicate a backwards step.

We will in terms of points total and league position. Unless you think 4 dead rubber games, two against teams who haven't bottled their respective challenges, are going to afford 8+ points.

Palmer is definitely fine for the squad he can be v good and make us tick; even though goals and assists or lack of is a fair counter argument

we need a better first choice 10 though, I agree

League position is in part dependent on the opposition. It’s a more difficult league this year.

We’re still better than this time last season in terms of points

A backwards step to go on a positive trend for the next 3/4 seasons though

even though today was fucking shite and jury is out on a couple

Hulls recent form is worse than ours

We won't end it better in all probability. Might win one more game of the remainder, that's it.

He's traditionally been best against lesser sides. Today against a shit team in the drop zone he's again anonymous.

But we are building a team of young players with potential that we own …. In that regard it’s a season of progress

And I do think Torp will come good.

We have Sakamoto back and EMC to come in.

I think it's already looking promising.

Doubt it. Ipswich will have their promotion party at the CBS and Hull unlike us haven't thrown away the challenge of making top 6. Probably get spanked in both games, let Szmodics fill his boots at Blackburn then a 0-0 against QPR in fancy dress.

Blues fans were loud in spells today but those chants about the owner were cringe.

They are selling their soul aren't they? Spent years telling everyone they are a proper club etc.

I don't think we would get a performance like that with either Kelly or McFadzean on the pitch. Why Kelly hasn't been used more is confusing.
Click to expand...
We did get performances like that though. I agree on Kelly but McFadz just wasn't worth it anymore as the negatives were outweighing the positives by the end.
