tbf for most of the season we've looked a lot more fluid and threatening playing as we started than how we finished. Didn;t work today, Allen got bullied out of it and none of the midfield got hold of the ball anyway first half but... it's only wrong in hindsight I think. I'd still feel more optimistic us starting that way with the players we have.

They're certainly not saying you're a real man, but you do need to get over it.

Right now, no

New season, new players. Robins hasn't let us down so far has he.

Eccles is decent enough for the Championship and Sheaf is a good player too.

Sheaf, Eccles, McNally (perhaps), Palmer, Norton-Cuffy maybe, McFadzean. We have the nucleus of a good side.

seriously? “my friends are teasing me and being mean”

what is this, a kindergarten?

they just about deserved it, they could have been 4 up, first half, we came back strong but didn’t create as much as they did.

and the people hammering dabo, why not ask why robins started the match like that, that’s a bigger question for me.

It hurts but our time will come again, that’s life, there is no need to be whining like this

Robins working miracles is the only reason we were even there.

maybe too high expectation but I thought they might foresee the long diagonal balls a bit more

Luton just by passed the midfield most of the time, so having the extra man in there had little effect.

Not sure changing the attack changes the inpetitude in defence early doors though. McFadzean really looked his age today, whatever positive intent Norton-Cuffy has he doesn't know how to defend yet, and today McNally seemingly got taught to pass by the likes of me.

If you were being critical of management, you could say first 40 minutes was far too like our 5-0 tonking last season, so they should have tried something different, but Robins is naturally conservative isn't he, tends to go for evolution rather than revolution... and I guess if he changed style and system for one game and we got battered, he'd look like a true mentalist!

Be honest though, if we do it's mainly to add more credence to your Robins is the best ever thread for the end of next season. My main concern is expectation's been raised a lot, so if we have a dip Robins comes under pressure that probably won't be fair.

Should we get a decent fee for vik the owner needs to back robins properly and push again

Saying that was our chance is not the same as it’s all over and the club is doomed.

No I was not. You are claiming that because you were there, you can state we are doomed and finished and everything is going to fall apart and act like a child.

Yes. We have people who weren’t at the game lecturing those who were on how to feel.

I genuinely would rather we came 7th and watched someone else lose after 2+ hours of play

You didn’t say that. You said he couldn’t perform another miracle season so we are doomed

Absolutely gutted. First half was dire. We looked really edgy. Fadz was getting bullied by their striker and Allen was way out of his depth.
Second half we were the better side and deserved our goal. Hamer going off was huge.
With Vik and Hamer probably leaving, the recruitment team will have their work cut out, to get us the players for another promotion push next season.
