Yeah - I'm watching that. He also pointed out that we got a free kick in their half - and played 3 passes backwards - to end up with Burge. Put the ball in the mixer (especially when you are getting so few opportunities to do so). Barratt playing poorly, BUT, nearly scored a worldy!

I remember being on the end of a 7-1 hammering at WBA in 1978. I hope this isn't another similar score ? You walk out of the stadium at the end unsure what to do ? Me and my dad went to the pub !

We don't commit enough forward though. Watch when they attack, watch us when we get it.

Same week in, week out.

It's interesting when multiple pundits notice it as well.

A early goal in the 2nd half and who knows what may happen.

Then it would be 3-0

No problem with getting outplayed, Brighton have been hard working and played as a team with a clear plan to utilise their width. 2 soft goals from not marking though is frustrating, that's a basic. Willis defending the goal not his man for the first - it's his biggest weakness.

Unfortunately I find the same at the Ricoh. A large section of the crowd seem to be waiting for a mistake so they can get on the players backs.

Its not as bad as some are saying, particularly on social media. There's a huge gulf in class and that has shown but I'm not sure what was expected. How much did our whole team cost? We've got 6 academy graduates and only one player over 25. They've got one player who cost £14m!

Don't remind me. I was 14. Got back to Leamington station and someone had nicked my bike. Not a good day.

I was expecting a gulf in class, but they aren't doing anything amazing like messi or ronaldo. They have a simple plan and do it well.

It was the player Willis was marking for the second goal too, he rarely gets close enough to his man in the box.

Krul did so much in the first half, he’s gone off for the second half

Might as well have replaced him with an outfield player!

Of course it is. We know there is a gulf in class, but we're making a very poor fist of it. Make them work for the win, it's all too easy and we're not doing the basics. The system seems all wrong and we're making the wrong choices. Get the ball in their 3rd and throw it in and try to win some second balls. More importantly, try to play higher up the pitch.

Hopefully we'll pick things up and have a punt second half. Nowt to lose.

It could easily have been 2-1 (different) but for the woodwork.

Probably from when he fouled JCH and got given a free kick.

now down to 10th in the league but 2 games in hand on Swindon and Lincoln to play in the next few weeks.
Robins needs to get 4 points from Wycombe and Mansfield. A big ask in my opinion.

Am I being a bit harsh, or could Burge have done better for that 2nd? He seems to start to come off his line and then stop.

Just think if he had stayed on his line he might have stopped that one.
