I thought that 4 goals really flattered that game last night as it was completely dull as dishwater for the most part

Not going to grumble at a point after going 2-1 down after the 80th minute mind, especially cause I thought it was one of our poorer performances as of late

Yeah - not sure what went on with him at QPR, where the fans didn't seem to rate him/turned against him.

But we brought on Lati tonight who is basically a centre half , how more defensive do we need ?
Click to expand...
Is Lati the answer? If you look through the thread from tonight it seems not. I don't think he's too bad in midfield btw but not the best of games tonight like the rest of the squad.

Sheaf missing for 6 weeks will be a big ask on everyone but the least you expect is a good shift
Doesn’t seem that’s happened today

We’ve looked very lacklustre in the last couple of games both as a team and individuals not sure why, but we’ve still not lost which is a good sign . Hopefully it’s just a short blip and we step up again.

Didn’t look poor in the league game at Sheffield and attribute the cup mostly to that turgid formation. Last night Sheaf going off that early would be a factor

Worryingly it was Sheaf going off in both cases that made us look so turgid.

A positive reaction to the many fans who have sung his name and clapped him off despite him offering very little would have been better

I didn’t see it being at the other end. Was it obviously to our fans and not the side we’d just scored an equaliser against?

Looking at the replay Simms shushing seemed to be almost at a specific area. Wonder if someone over there was giving he shit and he could hear them?

Makes me think it has to Eccles and Torp starting while he's out. Eccles to sit, Torp to move us up the pitch. Don't see any other option.

I think it’s hangover a bit from the Leicester game and the two Wednesday games, Robins said there was a lot of emotional baggage after the Wednesday games, plus the pitch, plus the adrenaline of a late win against Leicester. A come down was inevitable.

If I was aimed at some pissed twat who had been abusive then good on him. If it was at the fans in general who have backed him despite getting not much back then that’s embarrassing

Has to be. If we want to bring Lati on in the position it has to be later in the game when we're hopefully defending a lead.

I would of brought on Kelly last night (if he was on the bench) but I think his absence speaks volumes, in terms of his future. Lati might be an option at DM at tough away games like Leeds, but not at home against a mid table team. Clearly Robins should of brought Torp on then, but understandable that he was cautious not to throw him in straight away.

Torp isn’t considered ready to play 90m yet. He’s just had a mini preseason and will be lacking match fitness.

Now we’ve got to get him up to speed.

As for Kells, I’m not sure what difference he would’ve made for better to be honest.

Palmer Wright Sakamoto front three next game please.

Palmer is crying out for a striker to play a through ball to.

Pleased for Simms tonight but we can’t go into Saturday carrying a striker.
Click to expand...
I don't want to see Palmer on the left again. He wants to play in the same spaces as O'Hare, never makes runs in behind to stretch play, provides little width, spends most of his time too central. We should bring in another winger who can play both sides, and Palmer goes back to competing with O'Hare for the 10.

We didn't carry Simms at all.

I hear that, but I think he has to start.

Latibeaudiere or Kelly to come on for him.

Have to be grateful with the point.
Not bringing Torp on when Sheaf came off big mistake. I don’t get this “he’s not ready yet” he looked more ready than most of the others on the pitch.
Still unbeaten for a while but we need a striker at least, talk Robins says no one else to come in, big risk.

I think he’ll start v Norwich and be subbed after 60-75m. He looked tidy and composed on the ball.

On early viewing, a definite upgrade.

I think COH had a frustrating game too. We need to be more direct in some areas and there were times I felt he slowed us down somewhat.

It could also apply to a few other players. The team looked leggy/tired.

Last night was a strange game. We never got going.

It was really congested in the middle so could not play from it. But we dint use Bidwell on the left. Every time COH or Palmer got the ball was 3/4 Bristol around them.

Having no real outlet up top dint help. A few times a great ball came from the right but no one in the centre.

Overall just a lacklustre performance and hopefully a one off

It’s performances like this that demonstrate that our midfield isn’t as strong as some claim.

We had Hamer & Sheaf last season remember. Torp’s first impressions are positive but Eccles needs to elevate his game even more if Sheaf is out for a long time.
