Started portly at the start of both halves, but it wasn’t a poor performance. It wasn’t great and if we could’ve finished it’d be a whole different story. To boo after the game sums Cov fans up perfectly, what next, call for robins to be sacked?

I don't boo, but I was going mental in my head at them

Absolutely awful.

Ok i genuineky thought Biamou was on the bench. In all seriousness how did we mess it up after such a dominant first half? Run out of energy??

That would be fastest recovered from an ACL injury in history!

Allassani clearlr offended the ref but we should be taking those chances first half
Click to expand...

What chances? We had one penalty area chance - we were totally outplayed in the first 20 minutes of the second half - all the best chances were for them

Robins looks clueless

The key at this level is to win the midfield battle. We need two players in there who win the ball so that means 2 of Kelly and Doyle or Ogogo.

Why's Ogogo not playing? Is he carrying a knock? Or is it a MR tactic?

It’s hard to watch these games and come away with anything constructive to say. The worst thing is I think this squad is capable of challenging too 6 in this league but I genuinely think Robins is fucking clueless and needs to go if he doesn’t sort it out in the next 5 games.
Click to expand...

is it ? what makes you think that ? look at that midfield. we got into play offs in league two with 3 of them and everyone on here having a go at Thomas and how poor he was. Jones out and Andreu still not up to speed.

not sure why peoples expectations are so high in the first few games this season

I honestly think some people's expectations need to come down a lot. For me staying in this league is a priority and an achievement. At the moment there are no signs that we can make it to a play off spot. We need to start scoring some goals as a starter and then maybe we will win games. Next game Robins needs to set up the team for Chaplin.

So open at times st the back. Could have been 0-5 easily and we could have scored a dozen if the gods were favorable.
Shocking performance in the second half and none of the players came out of that game with anything positive.

I didn't even realise that. Perils of allowing the 'switch off from all things Sky Blue' after the Exeter final to continue into early season.

In your view and that of others who were there, what positives can we take from today?

People are having a go at Thomas because if I had the same number of shots, more would be on target.

It was laughable

We were forced to play Rochdale's way from the get go. They are a poor side yet we never found any consistent level of play to defeat them When we had clear chances we messed up. The system is all wrong and there are some players not good enough at this level. We are making things hard for ourselves which I don't understand. Doyle is showing signs of struggling in games and today it did not suit him. Our midfield in current formation is not strong enough. Kelly and Ogogo may be a good combination to work from. I just think we are a system and a player change or two from finding the solution. Don't think JCH or Bako are what Chaplin needs to feed off. Biamou was a better target man mores the pity. At the moment we are our own worst enemy.

Has there ever been a Cov manager where you weren't amongst the first to call for his head? It has been 6 games since promotion, he has plenty of credit in the bank just yet.

They could have had 4 goals, they aren't that poor

They are effective.

People get blinded by passing in triangles.

Yes but i missed the Biamou news, whenever that was announced. Genuinely hadn't seen that and assumed he would be on bench. Didn't check sub bemch before posting.

he was getting in the right positions. he is with us because he isn't the finished article. It wasn't laughable, he was trying and he didn't get the final product right.

It was pretty laughable in the end, the whole block was laughing at his last one

Imagine if Baka missed a third of them today

So did I, he didn't. That's when people were laughing.

Maybe it was a way of dealing with it.

I'm not sure they do, the way it's looking we are heading for a bottom 6 finish. We've played poor sides so far this season and have struggled to break them down. Robins has also had more money than any manager I can remember in the past 7/8 years.

its fine lines.

Notts county have sacked their manager and in league two.

we need to back the manager and the team as we are a league above now and its not going to be easy.

The negativity 6 games in is completely bizarre

Robins is tactically inept. He's shown that at this level before. Yet again it's showing already. Poor recruitment and pathetic tactics will result in failure and his departure.
