It was frustrating. Slow in first half better in second. Wrights chance was huge.

Mve really needs an attacking brain transplant at times. Just wants to pass it back non stop. Saka and rudoni with some silly decision making when it did open up for them.

Good clean sheet but I miss Thomas and kithcing attacking headers from corners and free kicks.

Still these games happen. It's just one of those days when nothing will go on etc

Not gonna be able to stop the negativity on here tonight but in still choosing to be optimistic. 1pt clear at the top and hull lost. I'm sure we will get going again and hopefully in the biggest game of the season next week

Oh utter nonsense “these games happen” we’ve had these games for the last 13

Some of our fans are pathetic ….

One way traffic, created clear opportunities, tight at the back but we don’t take our chances ….

Fine margins

Lampard's absolute inability to change tactics will cost us promotion.

He did change tactics today, for all the criticism he deserves we did change tactics

 

[covboy9]

Woolf and Lati at lease helped a clean sheet

Needed Thomas at the other end

both did deserve to be dropped but wtf

 

[LeamBandit]

For me I don’t think the problem today was poor individual performances, other than Wright. It’s poor tactics. Lampard should have changed it way sooner. One dimensional football

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Absolutely no-one was breaking lines and running beyond the striker. It's essential in breaking down a low block. Our formation is rigid, Esse's random wandering about aside, the players static. There's no tempo or urgency. I've said for several weeks now, I don't know think the players know what the gameplan is to try and score goals.

Yep that
Lampard was the absolute world beater at that so it’s strange

Ofcourse its on lampard FFS , we sacked robins for 14 points in 15 games and now we are on 16 points from 13 games

He isnt changing anything , hes pitting us out and setting us up the same way every week , we are slow and ponderous and its some of the most boring football ive watched since we came back to the championship since december started .

Lets be real lampard fucks this up he has to go

Should absolutely have had changes to go for it at 60

 

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

It's gonna be sending out lambs to be slaughtered next week, just hope we can keep it a tight game and avoid embarrassment.

Need to mentally prepare for the play offs now

Assuming Sheff Utd do the business we'll be knocked off the top by Boro, then out of the top 2 a few games after that. At that point it's a scrap to stay in the playoffs and if we can't win games like today, it's hard to see which ones we pick up points from.

Terrible.

 

[Nick]

My wright thread from last year hasn't been bumped for a while by people acting like he's a super star.

 

[Macca]

I'm not sure at this point if I even want to see us embarrass ourselves in the playoffs. Let teams who aren't total pussies have a go instead.

Can only hope that we get in and get lucky. No chance we finish top 2

 

[SkyblueTexan]

Lack of bravery out there.

Pathetic, if you can't win that you don't deserve automatic promotion.

Haji Wright has put in one of the worst striking performances I've seen since the times of Nick Proschwitz there. Dreadful.

Wright looks like a player who takes bribes. Lets us down time and again in the biggest moments like the playoffs and now in the run in to the season finale. FA Cup run of 2024 does not count by the way - just wanted to clarify.

 

[Finham]

Our players look frozen in fear. I've seen more urgency from snails.

 

[marrrkjay_ccfc]

The football we play is so bad to watch, it was never this poor under Robins. So when you play poor football, you have to get results, and we aren't even getting that anymore.

I genuinely think, our midfielders in particular, have regressed under Lampard. No confidence on the ball, always the safe option.

 

[stevefloyd]

I can't believe some were having a go at me for saying Grimes wouldn't be starting for us in the PL.

Its not a time for us to score points we should leave that to the bottlers!

 

[Evo1883]

He has an incredibly talented squad of players , there is no excuse .

 

[skyblueinBaku]

Very poor

 

[Liquid Gold]

I’m one for keeping managers and building a dynasty but I would 100% sack Lampard and get a new manager bounce to get us to the premier league

 

[Tommo1993]

Poor, poor result. Can’t pin it on the ref, I don’t think I’ve ever seen so many soft fouls give out way. Truly heroic defending by Wright. People think we’ll get past Boro playing like this 15 more games of us bottling it, it’ll be fun!

 

[ccfc1292]

don’t get not bringing onyeka on either

c**t apparently had a baby on the way...

I missed fine margins scoring

 

[Shannerz]

What’s crazy is i no longer believe we have fallen or a cliff. I now believe we just had an insane amount of luck before.

QPR game was an anomaly, but the results at the start of the season weren't a fluke; we were by far the best team in the division on pretty much every metric.

Now we look like a team that would struggle to stay up.

The form was always going to dip to a degree, especially with a small squad, but we had that margin for error. How the squad and management have managed to throw that away in such a short space of time is unfathomable.

I don't think there's any mental strength anywhere in the squad.

 

[Finham]

Just forfeit it, ha. If its Wrexham I might be up for that tbf.

What we spent the Vik money still makes me cry at night

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

He did change tactics today, for all the criticism he deserves we did change tactics

Very late

 

[Ash]

Completely shit the bed here haven’t we, that was the most winnable game of the season and they’ve fucked it with a man advantage. Boro and Ipswich will be licking their lips watching that!

QPR wasn't an anomaly. We did the same the game before

 

[ccfc1292]

On a small positive, banged £10 on their keeper to be booked...

 

[jto123]

I agree this is a Lampard problem now. We aren’t going up autos. Play offs I would be amazed if we make it. Some big decisions to be made in the summer.

 

[adamcov]

Lucky to make the playoffs and even if we do, we’ll get beat comfortably in the semi

 

[stupot07]

He changed after Oxford went down to 10 men.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

There's still time to give Sheffield Wednesday their second win of the season.

We're trying to win automatic promotion.

Top against relegation zone.

At the stage of the season to not win is not good enough, regardless of how the game played out.

And tbh, we didn't create nearly enough against a team not interested in attacking.

 

[Liquid Gold]

The best we can hope for is doing a Sunderland

It’s a results business. We’ve bottled a lead and are not playing well. So funny people think fans can’t complain about that.

 

[shmmeee]

This place (CBS) is going to be so toxic when Boro beat us.
