Absolutely zero, honestly looks like the players don't care about the outcome. 10 mins to go, ball goes for a throw, Cardiff time waste while Rudoni looks the other way and Sheaf does up his shoes.
We desperately need some leaders otherwise this season could turn into a disaster.

The players need to start taking some responsibility. They’re just going through the motions. Most of them need to play for their futures at this club. Simple as that.

I just posted something similar on the match thread. We didn’t seem to have the usual “fresh start / impress manager” energy or body language.

I honestly think of all the amazing season Robins had, getting largely this same squad to a 9th place finish and FA cup final was his greatest achievement. Even winning 2 of his last 3 before being sacked this season.

We need a new recruitment team as first priority before any other players signed.

Conceded early goals in both halves yet again. Comical how every team targets JDS too, him and our GK so bad, although weren't alone today.

We’ve created a laid back squad. There’s very little aggression. It’s why Bassette stands out even though he’s really just running about. Need some “dog” in Jan

It’s not the same squad though is it. You need to accept his part in this mess.

We need a leader as Sheaf definitely isn’t one.

I said largely the same squad.

The only regular first team players we lost between the seasons were O’Hare, Godden and Kelly. They were all injured for large spells last season too so yeah it’s largely the same squad (plus additions!)

The additions are delivering nothing and have been a waste. He relied on an old guard of players - in the end he could not even work out which goalkeeper to play

And again without wright we either be bottom of the league

Frank, Doug and whoever is in the hierarchy need to begin tough conversations on Monday morning.

So many soft players in that squad.

Well they need to start by targeting two centre halves and a left back. And we desperately miss an Alan Browne “type”.

My point is that this same squad (minus O’Hare, Kelly and Godden) finished 9th and an FA Cup final last season. I’m just saying that I think that was an overachievement based on those players… irrespective of how any new players that have come in since are performing (a random irrelevant point).

Agree with Wright being important for us though, we can agree on something at least

All he does is moan. We need someone that is a motivator and someone the players want to work for. Gives way too many stupid fouls away.

The fact we concede 2 + goals every game shows we are weak as piss mentally.

I honestly can't say I like one of the players or enjoy seeing them wear the shirt. It's shocking.

That's a different debate isnt it. Fact remains they equalised twice. Have done this in lots of games recently too.

Lots of issues to pick at but saying they have no character isn't true based on the facts

If they had any character they’ve at least tried today, it was pathetic and like I said they got mark sacked and if this carries on they will get frank the sack

Rudoni handing the ball to Torp when he was initially going to take the pen was really disappointing to see. Back yourself.

Most teams have someone pretend to be the taker these days due to all the gamesmanship from the opposition. I’d imagine Torp was always going to take it.

Was he or were we doing that new thing of not giving the taker the ball until the last minute.

Oh maybe, didn’t realise that. Just thought he looked like he bottled it, but maybe not then! He was one of the better players today as well first half.

This is what we will come to realise, we have a better squad than when we got the play offs. We should be doing better... Robins and Adi made it happen.

The problem is the players we have don't want to do any better, or think they are better than they are.

Gyokeres, Hamer and also COH knew they wanted more. What we have at the moment don't want it enough.

As someone else said on here the other day, they want to be big Premier League players, but they don’t want to put in the effort to get that.

I sincerely hope that Lampard has a nastier side than Robins did because these players don’t respond to the softly softly approach.
They need to be firmly told, shape up or shit out
