He’s been quiet for a while. Certainly looked very off-form today.

Wins/draws achieved in a less than convincing manner? Maybe you're not in attendance or spend the vast majority of your time on your phone?
But you know what - It ain't top 6 stuff.

So please answer this honestly, tonight aside, do you think we’re currently playing better or worse than we were this time last season?

Could revert to a box midfield I suppose but means we again go back to having 3 attacking players trying to do all the work.

Without a Hamer/Walsh type? It’s not exactly worked before. The box came about because we had a surplus of CMs.

Already agreed his summer destination, no need to risk over exerting himself.

I wasn’t a drama queen, I stayed until the end. The blame here lies solely at Doug Ellis for not backing Mark in January. Robins will get disillusioned and end up leaving pretty soon in my opinion.
Click to expand...

Robins has left clubs before after disagreeing with chairmen. He's made a few comments since the window closed that shows he is a bit frustrated with the lack of signings.

Don't think Robins goes anywhere soon though, though if next summer if he isn't backed I could see him moving on.

genuinely three at the back and a midfield three with one holding player is probably our best bet. And it’s fucking horrible.

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.
Click to expand...
Pretty sure a good physio can diagnose that type of injury. No idea how anyone outside the team/coaching set up would know this tho.

Take Maidstone to penalties, draw Chelsea away, get stiffed 8-0, finish mid table and I've heard there's room in that garage to fit the Robins statue along with the Kane statue.
Appy Daze!!

A few things from tonight ….. Robins interview….. “they were physically & mentally stronger than us “ !
Doesn’t everyone of us , that’s watched games against Preston know what they are about …. but our players didn’t tonight ?
Saka , a terrible foul , as their player made “ a back “ for him to go over , but the referee didn’t see it & if it hadn’t been for our players making the incompetent aware , he would still be lying there .
A massively disappointing night & opportunity missed , but every man & his dog will be back for the big premiership opponents, cum the 6th round , home or away !

Saka went up for a header and the defender left one on him when he was mid jump.

Not even going for the ball. Should be a red for shit like that, cowardly challenge.

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.

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

whilst I don’t disagree with the sentiment, what would that achieve?

Puts square pegs in round holes.

We have to change it up now. We've conceded tons since reverting to a 4 but without Sakamoto we're not going to score as many goals.

People keep saying the same thing tonight, oh every fan base in the country would be the same. Fuck that, if you want to be something then be different. Leeds, Man City, Liverpool, forest, wolves all different breed to our weak fans. You end up with that you deserve I suppose.
Click to expand...

Behave. Man City fans, aside from the tourists, staying to the 90th minute when being battered ? They all fuck off early when they are winning. I was literally with a wolves season ticket holder tonight. Kept asking why I wasn't leaving. Did the you see the state of OS when West Ham were getting battered by Arsenal? Nothing you saw tonight you wouldn't see anywhere else. Sunderland fans will boo their team if the opposition win a corner.

Feel pretty down about Saka being in hospital with a potentially very serious injury. Been an absolute joy and he gets fucking pummeled by bone-headed defenders every week.

We conceded tons with a 5 as well. Maybe it’s just that our defenders aren’t very good without a strong midfield in front of them.

No cheese additives needed - It;s pretty much a sleepless night no matter where you play him
