Same as the idea that an away point is always a good point so we don’t bother trying to beat a terrible Blues team in free fall.

I don’t think we’re bad, we bossed the game today even with some very average players in the team. The frustration is that we shouldn’t be right in the middle of a relegation battle.

We played really well today. I think we were genuinely very good.

The two things that cost us are not taking our chances, and then when we are fucked Robins doesn't do anything about it. Then moans about us having injuries and being tired.

Agree I thought Shipley did ok. Substitutions didn't make sense at the time. But in the end didn't do no harm at all.

The extra height of Shipley and gyro cane good in end as they were lumping it long in end.

Its almost like the manager foresaw them trying to get a winner by going long isn’t it. Hands were tied as to who he could bring on to give us a chance at both ends and Gyo was the sensible option really.

I don't need to counter your argument, you're entitled to an opinion, I respectfully disagree with it for the reasons previously stated.

There you go. O'Hare and Hamer, both knackered.

Subs made sense.

Biamou was tired shortly after half time, Allen was also getting tired and he almost cost us with his ridiculous pass towards the end.

Come off it Otis.

Yeah and where did they both play? Exactly the same position as the 2 that came off.

Hamer wasn't playing DM, Gyo wasn't playing ST.

We didn’t need to go two up front. The formation was working really well and we were outplaying them. What we needed to do was put fresh legs into the same formation 15 minutes earlier than we did.

Robins is too slow at making subs and always has been. His weakest attribute is changing games mid way through and I think that often means we drop points. Saying that doesn’t mean I want rid of him neither does it invalidate any of his achievements as he’s great at building a club.

Only on here can that be interpreted as a controversial statement because if you’re not 100% positive on everything then you’re a bet wetter. Absurd.

Gus and Callum who are two of the fittest players at the club needed bringing off but Max who was puffing for a good while before stays until the end.

It’s very easy to point out multiple games we’ve thrown points away and only 1 off the top of my head we’ve picked up points unjustly. We could easily be comfortable in mid table and our current injury situation doesn’t alter that.

I've made a valid point, albeit with a slightly distasteful word used in the heat of the moment.

You and one or two others are acting as if I've just slept with someone's wife and killed the kids.

I guess it is easier to take that approach than actually accept the point that is being made.

A striker would have been a worthwhile investment given what’s at stake this season but I guess that’s the difference financially between being a championship and league 1 club. Great point today though

Obviously there were a number of tired bodies, but Robins decided that the two he took off were struggling the most. Made sense.

We aren't pitch side. I trust the manager and his backing staff to know who is the most tired out there.

Perfectly reasonable opinion.
Does that make Robins a retard though? I think that's what people are annoyed about.

Anyone moaning about that result needs to calm down. We all would have accepted a point against Watford.

We’re only disappointed as we played so well - that’s a positive.

We play that well against other teams and we win.

People will slate Biamou as they are blinded by bias, but Hyam had the two best chances of the game.

Yes 1 win from jumping up about 4/5 places.

That performance should give massive against Cardiff now.

I think rather than blame Robins... Maybe supporters should look at certain fan favourite players who fail to convert the simplest of chances and in general, sitters missed by others.

The actual problem you have is we didn't win.. We didn't win because we missed sitters... You then put the blame on the manager for not changing the game to win the match.
Our tactics were enough to win the match... Whose at fault?

The definition of retard: Delay or hold back in terms of progress or development. - That is exactly his approach to substitutions.

It gets used fashionably and therefore people just look at it without any real context, looking to get upset, largely because they don't like the manager being criticised.

It’s a fair point. We constantly miss absolute gifts. We should be doing a lot better in front of goal. That doesn’t invalidate the idea that we’re not proactive enough towards the end of the game though.
