It is baffling why change a system that works by the sounds of it.

Well.

Disappointing. I’m off to get pissed.

Wish me luck, I’m going to a party at the wife’s bosses house.

Should probably wish your wife luck in that case, not you That’s if she wants to still have a job at the end of it

Enjoy your evening

Don’t care about FA cup promotion is all that matters and you don’t get promoted being beat by a pub side

Welcome back, you vanished when we scored.

They came back from behind because they weren't playing Kelly and Doyle who both sit on the halfway line. They take the game to the opposition, like we do when we don't have those 2.

Nice one, City. Now go and get a win, even a draw isn't good enough here.

Perhaps actually read the thread before spouting more banal shite.

The system is shit, but the players show zero desire or urgency when we go behind. We play so slow and never look like we actually want to win when losing away.

On 82 minutes, Wycombe took off a defender for a striker and took the game to Carlisle. It's probably why they keep winning instead of sitting back when trailing.

Two defensive central midfielders simply doesn't work, put Bayliss back in the middle and drop Kelly and use him if and only if Doyle gets injured.

Today convinced me that we won’t be going up this season. There simply isn’t enough goals in this side to make a challenge.

Such a shame but it’ll be next year now.

Clueless, out fought, out thought. Gifted an incredibly charitable penalty decision.
It's just dawned on me - You can lose half your league games and still grab a play off place in this woeful division.
Strangely, all is not lost.

Team talk:

(Calmly) Unlucky boys, it just wasn't our day today.

Most players reacted negatively to the comments.

Liam Kelly and Ryan Haynes seemed happy.

Probably didn’t have to make three forced substitutions either. Did Robins have the opportunity of making a tactical substitution?

He could have when Davies went off or when Grimmer went off (granted it was 0-0 when Grimmer went off, but it was still obvious Kelly wasn't in it).

He put JCH on for Biamou, even though the problem wasn't the strikers as they were getting absolutely nothing. It was pointless.

Wycombe had a player sent off on 48 as well.

That's why they will win games like that, they don't sit back and take it.

Players should be fucking embarrassed. Hope they enjoy being League Two players because that's what they're going to be next season as well.

Robins still hasn't learnt that Kelly and Doyle are fucking shit together, it's woeful management.
Click to expand...

I don't think they are terrible together, it just nullifies creativity. Bayliss came in and was like a breath of fresh air and I did say in the week that once Kelly was fit again we had a dilemma.

If it were down to me it would be an either/or scenario.
Doyle and Bayliss, or Kelly and Bayliss and just not Kelly and Doyle.

Robins sticks with the previous formula it is going to kill us.

We were literally singing Robins’ praises last week. Now with a loss he’s getting abuse. Kelly was fantastic last week, now he’s had a bad game he’s shit.

People need to get a grip.
