Hilarious moment there where Robins said "Conor Chaplin will score goals, Jordy Hiwula wasn't involved today, but he will score goals, Bakayoko......(pause) has scored a goal...."
Realistic on the last one anyway!

Oh and Robins Bingo moment: they were more "streetwise" than us. But then it is Robin's job to square the circle of being "streetwise" whilst also having a side mostly comprised of players that are being developed to sell on for a profit, really. He knows the deal.

He's been using the streetwise one every time we lose, what's he doing with them in training? They had young players kicking Doyle after the ball had gone

Bloke on CWR moaning now about JCH not winning headers.

May as well just change the name of the player for a few years until people realise it's the system and hoofing it that doesn't work.

He actually did win some headers and he does get into positions to score goals.

He’s clearly the best forward by a country mile but its if he has the right mentality to make it in the game I suspect.

I thought first half everything went through him and he did well.

I didn't personally have an issue with him today apart from the misses, the thing is we need somebody like Chaplin to play off him rather than Andreu miles behind the game. We saw it when Thomas was gambling from him.

Same as the naive and streetwise stuff.

It's like a teacher moaning about the kids not being able to spell after teaching them for 2 years. Why isn't he teaching them to be streetwise? It isn't complicated.

To be fair they were cracking at time wasting and the referee did nothing about it. I think that's what the streetwise comment was about.

I read it as he was suggesting some players aren’t working hard enough in training or looking after themselves.

Streetwise comments are nonsense. Rochdale played a pattern and played well once they sorted out their left side defensively

It’s a joke we deride teams as being inferior when they win, force the keeper into saves, dominate the middle of the park and are far better at we pieces

Which is why our players should be going absolutely ape shit. The same as everytime they kicked us off the ball.

When their goalie injured himself by smashing into Hyam (and got a free kick for it) they were basically controlling what was going on and killing the game. We should have been straight on at the ref to get the game going again.

Not nonsense at all. Rochdale played for soft fouls and played the ref and disrupted and killed the game whenever we were getting into it.

We let them though.

One of their midfielders was kicking Doyle and other players from the off. After getting kicked, get up and get in his face and make a scene about it to make sure the ref knows full well whats going on.

You are right. Which is odd as Doyle was even subdued today.

That's because he was getting bullied from the start. I can't remember which of their players it was, but he was booting Doyle every chance he got.

Not like him to give in though. He can't carry them all though and that is the problem with having such a young side. Referee was an absolute cabbage though.

Spearing bullied him as well against Blackpool.

I know people mock me saying get stuck in, but they kicked the shit out of us off the ball today as well. As soon as they scored it was obvious they were going to try and kill the game off, we allowed it to happen without much protest.

Even when their player faked an injury when we got a corner, Grimmer put his arms up to acknowledge it but that was about it. Why not get over there telling them to get off the pitch?

After scoring they created several chances.

It’s an idiotic comment as of course they’ll slow a game in the last 10 they are winning.

We were never really in the game in the second half

I honestly thought at the time they had scored another, relieved when it was offside.

They could easily have had more. Andrew missed a decent header just wide too.

Midfield was always going to be our problem, we sign one of last years best midfielders in this division Ogogo, not playing, we sign one of the best left backs in fit again Junior Brown, not playing, Tom Davies, our best centre half, not picked again, lost again. we accommodate Tom Bayliss instead of playing him in his best and most potent position through the middle. Fergie, Wenger always played their best players and in their best positions

Ogogo is coming back from injury.
Tom Davies wasn't picked because he had an illness so dropped out.
Tom Bayliss was playing in the middle.
Mason has come in and done well so Brown is on the bench.
