Second half we were poor for much of it really , but we still should have defended the 3 points out
Second half we were poor for much of it really , but we still should have defended the 3 points outAbsolutely agree with that, we defended poorly for the last few mins of the game and Wright should have buried that chance but I genuinely felt for the rest of the game we defended well and our midfield-attack transition was predictably terrible.
Sheaf has had a decent spell out in each of his seasons hereNot really but had a sizable calf strain in March iirc?
Kelly hasn't played this much football in years.
The only reason we didn't win was because of poor defending

Playing for the US more than Haji Wright and signing for QPR is generally not the sign of a rip-roaring football talentYes. Played more regularly for the US than Wright, played 80 or so games for Boavista and cancelled his contract with them for non payment.
Will be lining up against us for QPR on Saturday now.
A like for the first sentence, and the last bit. I'd actually have a chat about the second part on a what if level, but I fear it'll be set upon by the rabid dogs currently circling looking for raw meat!We don't half go overboard on here , shit result , conceded late , not quite happening after 8 games but still just the 38 games to go ..
Robins won't walk , Robins won't be sacked , we will be fine , relax
We were hanging on got most of the second half.We weren’t hanging on though at that point. Allen and Wright’s has taken the sting out of Huddersfield - we just fucked it at the end with a truly awful piece of defending.
Given how little Robins thinks of Sakamoto though…Playing for the US more than Haji Wright and signing for QPR is generally not the sign of a rip-roaring football talent

Until the subs were made yes - but after that not so much.We were hanging on got most of the second half.
That's what you get for overachieving last season.Ultimately if we get to November and are dwindling in the bottom 6, no midfielders, fans booing etc. Maybe he has a change of heart with it and doesn't fancy it.
Imagine if he was listening to CWR tonight, plenty calling for his name. You'd be mortified after what he's done for us.
Does he actually though ? Or is it fans interpreting the language used as suchGiven how little Robins thinks of Sakamoto though…
Very strange really considering how he persisted with dabo there.Given how little Robins thinks of Sakamoto though…
Replying to myself, but manage your expectations folks.Realistically we’re in for a dull, frustrating season; we’ll finish mid-table.
We’ve spent the gyokeres money and all hoped for better, but we’re not there yet.
We need a whole new midfield. The Hamer funds need to be spent correctly.
Robins has previously worked miracles, I’ve got faith in him.
I agree , the subs actually swung the game back really In our favour , it's a moment of shit at the back this cost us .. and ofcourse that missUntil the subs were made yes - but after that not so much.
Started him tonight instead of playing the safe option of Eccles or Latibeudiere there, or even Bidwell.Does he actually though ? Or is it fans interpreting the language used as such

What? It wasn’t the ONLY reason, it is A reason but the main reason we don’t win is because we can’t score goals.The only reason we didn't win was because of poor defending
We need a settled back 3, just not entirely sure who that will consist of yet other than McFadzeanBinks bizarrely for their goal engages a player with his back to goal, they had 4 v 3 in our box at one point there. Our defensive organisation and shape has vanished this season.

There was nothing to get the crowd going.Atmosphere was shocking tonight.
Long gone are the days when the noise carried regardless of the results. Dragged the players through games at home 2 years ago.

It is the only reason you clown, there were 15 seconds leftWhat? It wasn’t the ONLY reason, it is A reason but the main reason we don’t win is because we can’t score goals.
We do absolute jack shit with the ball, we have a load of possession and a load of time on the ball and yet all we can muster up is 3 shots on target all game, it’s piss poor. Yes our defending could be better but if we could actually score goals there wouldn’t be this late pressure on the defence every other game.
We were creating chances and looking like we could break teams down and play through them.....It was non-stop 2 years ago regardless of the score. Dragged us into wins.
Good, we can get back to signing good players for £1m rather than poor ones for £3-8m!Whilst I am sure there will be some activity in the January window, my god do we need it to get rid of that shocking midfield pairing, I fear that we have now missed out on a key selling point to the player. We are now no longer ‘so close to the Premier League last season and challenging this season’, we look like bottom half average at best. Huge regression, and I struggle to see how that would attract too many players who would really drive us up the table.
Certainly cannot see Brekalo coming in. Maybe Callum Styles, and it is just absolutely crazy to me how we didn’t sign him for the reported £2m release fee, yet spaffed away double that on a defender that is getting splinters in his arse!! (Yes I know they are actually comfy seats).
This Summer’s transfer dealings have (admittedly in hindsight) been very poor. £2m on a player where we don’t play a system that suits his best attributes. £600k on a goalkeeper who does not seem to be anywhere near displacing Wilson, Thomas started well but has looked as though he has some errors in him, but I think he will be ok. The £4m on Kitching just seems to be a ridiculous overspend, and I wonder if a £4m bid for McNally or selling Hamer to Burnley for £12m + McNally would have been better had that been possible.
Then we come to the strikers; Simms, I was never a fan of signing having heard about his lack of work rate from the Sunderland fans…and yes he did have a good game today…but we already had a goal poacher/hanger in Godden, and service/crosses into the box from wide has been poor in recent seasons, with the goals either having come from Gyokeres driving from the side into the box, or Hamer driving in. Cannot think of many occasions when a goal has come from the wing back driving to the byline to cut back.
Wright…well it was completely out of the blue and seemed to be almost a panic buy!
Got nothing to work with on the pitch.
I will say there were points it picked up and MR seemed to acknowledge that at the time. But the booing at the end was really quite unsavoury and you could see it hit the players on top of their own bottling of the result.There were plenty of games like that 2 years ago.
The atmosphere is poor at home this season.
We were happy to be in the Championship post COVID and fans really got behind the team regardless. I don't sense that anymore. Even away from home, it's becoming a little quieter.
We need the 'us against the world' mentality back.
Love how you’ve left out the other 5,625 seconds in the game and blamed it all on 15 seconds. We are allowed to score more than 1 goal you know? No one would give a fuck about the last 15 seconds if we’d have popped a couple more chances in the back of the net.It is the only reason you clown, there were 15 seconds left
We’re a poor sideI will say there were points it picked up and MR seemed to acknowledge that at the time. But the booing at the end was really quite unsavoury and you could see it hit the players on top of their own bottling of the result.
Reminded me of those bottom half Championship finishes of yesteryear really
No denying that.We’re a poor side
Some fans think we’ll finish mid tableNo denying that.
