Honestly the biggest issue isn’t the playing staff. The new coaches have a long long way to go prove they’re up to the job. And Robins that he can do it without Adi.

Think I'm pointing the finger at the manager more than individual players when they are basically all playing crap. Bidwell though has been especially shite all season and Robins keeps playing him.

We need more to our attacking play
Norwich defended us perfectly

They didn’t defend perfectly. When the opposition play it so slowly in front of you and don’t move off the ball, it’s more effort to get something wrong.

We have no leader, we have no spark, we have no midfield, we have no cohesion, we have no game plan and we have no chance of finishing in the top six

MR seems to start every season trying to playing boring go nowhere possession ball then takes 10 games to decide we need to be a fast pressing counter team and we're always better doing the second.

I don't know why he insists on bothering throwing the first 10 games away each time.

Just to reiterate. Two clean sheets in the league all year.

Another farce of a goal today to add to the collection.

It's similar to the start of last season I suppose in some respect .

But second half felt incredibly sloppy and effortless

17% long ball accuracy , 78% pass accuracy , hit 1 from 6 long balls , hit 1 in 5 crosses , dispossessed 2 or 3 times

Both Eccles and torp with far better matches

pass accuracy means fuck all if they’re all square or backwards

Midfield absolutely annihilated once again and against every opposition bar Oxford so far. Although it appears you can’t point that out because some people bury their heads in the sand.

Something is missing. You can see it clearly on the pitch. Players look tired, lacking drive, and importantly lacking any ideas what to do with the ball? Vivash had us well drilled. We have good players on paper and rightly one of the favourites but today you don't play on paper.
Training is way off if this is what we are getting. That falls on the new coaching staff. It either starts to come good quickly or changes will need to be made. Have they made a mistake in sacking Vivash? Something is not right in the back office me thinks. Palmer suddenly goes (a Vivash player) Bassette is a raw recruitment and Simms and Wright look isolated without service from a midfield lacking inspiration and form. Torp is improving, Rudoni not having any influence and Eccles not getting any better.
The back looks sluggish and the keeper looks scared. Put Wilson back in...what did he ever do wrong? O'Hare was a major loss in terms of creativity and personality.
Like I say it currently look like a good team on paper but we play on grass not paper. Robin's needs to address and pinpoint what the problem is. Over run through midfield yet again. Can't play good sides with only 3 in the middle. Frustrating to watch them capitualte so easily today. 2 weeks to get this sorted.

We have 2 better defenders on the bench btw .. 1 gave the ball away a couple times whilst trying to play between the lines so deserved to be dropped

Rudoni did a very moving tribute to him on the pitch I thought.

It's not the result(s) that are the issue, it's the utterly dog shit performances. I've not seen us this disjointed and turgid in a long time.
Concede a shitter of a goal in the 50th minute and proceed to do absolutely nothing for the next 40 minutes.
Not once did we go forwards with any intensity or try and make anything happen, it was ala southgate where you just pass it out to the wingers 24/7 and hope something happens

I feel for Simms, he doesnt get the service at all, why we didnt sign another central midfielder in this window baffles me. Saddle is 10000% right that we would regret missing out on Browne, he’s exactly what we need why we didnt just finalise his deal and go after Stamenic as well if we were looking to offload Palmer will forever baffle me. Yes we would have still missed out on Stamenic but we would have Browne
