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?

Yep, well said.

Robins bringing on Shipley for Hamer is not the reason Hyam missed from 4 yards.

Perfectly reasonable opinion.
Does that make Robins a retard though? I think that's what people are annoyed about.
Click to expand...
No of course not. I don’t agree with ESB’s use of that word at all. I do agree with his analysis though.

Would have taken a point beforehand, felt slightly disappointed at the end. That said, we didn't concede when Watford got into it late on.

Thought Hamer, O'Hare, James, Osti and Biamou were all great. Dacosta good too before he went off.

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.

It's hard Robins knows that the player son the bench aren't going to put in a Ronaldo esq performance and win the match for us in a flash bit of genius... The games in the balance, we look solid and still a threat... Why change it, the changes made the team weaker really... It's all we have

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

Subs made sense.

But so were Biamou and Allen, who looked knackered before them. O'Hare is just a machine that can run all day.

This is a good point could perhaps should have been three but this is a tough month against the four top teams. We proved today we can compete and out play the so-called better teams in this division, we are a fox in the box goal scorer away from being a bloody good team (who isn’t) a week now before Cardiff perhaps Walker will be back for that.

Never 3 points for me pre match every match.
Thats the way I lay and cant help it.
Mind you I dont get annoyed anymore.
Buzz is dying off.
Cant watch it on the tele with empty seats just does nothing for me. All that piped noise is just horrible.

Apologies if already mentioned but did anyone else think it was a penalty on Dacosta when he seemingly got unnecessarily pushed in the back by Sarr?

Robins just said Dacosta has a migraine so should be ok.

Waker was flying in training and with a week off before the next game will get him close to the squad.

In our box, it's a pen all day long.

No intention to play the ball at all, should have been given.

Yea but a point can't be enough pre match and not enough post match... That's mental thinking

At the start of the year, your boss tells you that you can't get a pay rise this year (you like your job and you're happy to be there, so you're ok with that). In the middle of the year he then tells you there is a chance of a pay rise after all! So you work your nuts off and do a job deserving of a pay rise, only to be told at the end of the year there's no payrise after all.

Would you be ok with that because at the start of the year you thought you weren't getting one anyway?

Let's be honest he wanted it done within 10 games this season but wisely didn't explicitly say so. Now he has.

i think it depends on the opposition, holding on to what we have against a contender for the autos is fine as far as I'm concerned, do the same against Cardiff midweek if the game has followed a similar pattern as today and it's another story.

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.
Click to expand...

My comment was in direct response to the suggestion that he didn’t change it with a view to winning. Why else would he go two up front? And the caveat with the Gyo sub is that he offers something defensively on set pieces and holds it up. He could have brought on Bapaga in the same formation yes but he’s unproven and critically offers nothing defensively for the inevitable onslaught at the end. Personally I would have kept COH on and swapped Max for Gyo earlier but the subs made sense.

You've completely misunderstood again.

I'm not over forest either... It's such a shame we've really struggled to get our best team on the pitch this season... Im with you somewhat that we wouldn't be where we are now, but no team with our budget and resources can comfortably get through several key players being injured at once.. No team

Wrong.

Moron was originally used by psychologists to classify someone as having mild intellectual disabilities.

Except I haven't. The way you used it was wholly incorrect & now your fast trying to backpedal.

Why not just admit it was a stupid thing to say in the heat of the moment?
