Based on tonight, yes. Do you really think we will play so badly again next week though?

Why does one awful performance automatically spill over into two absolutely awful performances?

I reckon we will play much better next week. Not saying we are going to win or anything, but I think we will play a lot better than that for sure

Robins saying he’s landed on his back and hip. It’s a really bad injury. He’s in a lot of pain in hospital.

Robins: ‘It’s as bad as it’s been for years, even worse than Stoke. Game got away from us from the start. Need to defend it better. They ran harder, fought harder and did the dirty side of the game better than anyone who’s been here. No pride. Looked like a team who were scared stiff. Lots of poor decisions and difficult to pull bones out of. Can’t feel sorry for ourselves as have a game on Monday. ‘

‘Difficult to make changes wi the injuries. Torp couldn’t play a full game. Manner of the defeat was atrocious and we deserve nothing. Got a proper doing. Need to take criticism on chin, stick chest out.’

On Tats: ‘Not a good injury at all. Got up high and landed on his back and hip. Don’t want to speculate but it’s a bad injury. Was more like a rugby game and like the physicality of games when I used to play. Didn’t anticipate it being as bad as that. He’s in hospital now and we’re waiting for news.’

‘We’ve been bullied today and that can’t happen again. That was miles away from any game we’ve played for years. Can’t play like that against West Brom.’

That’s why we’ve always been shit. The players will now know when the going gets tuff, the fans get going. People lapping it up the last few years of success but couldn’t just sit and take it, have to vent their fury. Fucking embarrassing fans.

Same as any fan base. Watch any game where teams are beaten comfortably and the stands empty. Let's not blow it out of proportion, been one of the best supported teams in the league all season.

Preston player 100% did that to Sakamoto on purpose. Obviously not anticipating that bad an injury but for sure an intentional action.

Perspective needed, this was last years Stoke at home. The real worry is the amount of injured and allegedly fatigued players.
Robins is trying to juggle a thin squad and it’s not easy with some key players out.
Wilson is not Collins
Dasilva is not Bidwell
Binks is not Kitching
Thomas just had a mare
Eccles is not Sheaf
Latí ….was he playing ?
The strikers created fuck all and scored even less!
We actually need the cup game to try and restore some confidence now !

We were 3-0 down after 30 mins you cretin what do you expect? I don’t get this “stay til the end no matter what” mentality. Fuck off. If the players on the pitch can’t be arsed why should I. I’m sure they’ll get over the ground being empty at full time when they pick up their pay check next week. Fucking idiot.

I was back in the pub by half time.

Fuck you ya little weasel. Bet you was in the bar 3-0 down saying you wanna go the pub then back to your council house to shag your Nan.

I mean, if they suspect he's broken anything he'd be in hospital anyway. Let's not jump to conclusions just yet.

I’m not sure you can ‘shatter’ your pelvis from a fall, unless you are very old and have osteoporosis. It may be cracked or have a fracture somewhere. It did look bad

It did look bad but I strongly dispute a fractured pelvis, how would they know so quickly, it took long enough to scan Torp so I highly doubt any diagnosis on Saka this quickly.

It’s often been said that it was a matter of time before Sakamoto got hurt. Well now it’s come to fruition pretty quickly.

Must be that ‘excellent’ opposition quality

Kitching, Bidwell and Collins aren't out. They were on the bench.

Kitching is hardly fatigued, he's had a 2 game ban.

If I was Robins I'd be writing to the FA in regards to the lack of in game protection from officials we've had this season and question why it's a continuing thing

When the going gets tough cov fans get going. To let players walk round the pitch with empty stands after the performances they have give us this season is a disgrace.

The best way to counter it is to play it over the top of their players to our strikers. Couple of problems with it thought.

1 Our strikers don't have the best 1st touch

2 We brought every player back for every set piece.
