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.
To blame the whole game on one chance is ridiculous, we should have created more than 3 shots on target, simple as that.

In the actual circumstances tonight if we'd have defended that last 15 seconds we'd have won, it's really the only reason that we didn't at that point in time

If Jamie Allen and Liam Kelly think you’re shit it’s probably time to give up.

Evo whose opinion I respect quite highly still thinks upper mid table. Based on how poor things are in midfield, long term injuries mounting up and problems up front with a packed fixture list coming up, I can’t see past a relegation scrap.

We’ve got a lot of talent to come back. Arguably our four best players. We just need to sort the fucking defence out. Figure out who our best back line is and play them until they know each other inside out. Then in Jan sign at least two CMs for no more than £1.5m each.

Our best performers are all players from L1 and that should shame a bunch of multi million pound signings. Doesn’t change that those players often weren’t even first team last season so clearly shouldn’t be out stand out players this year. £20m spent or not.

Good luck attracting any decent players here in January with the state this team will be in by then. Plus Southampton will be out spending big in the same window.

Good. I don’t want decent players. I want the ones we used to sign who can play football and give a shit. Let Southampton have Haji Wright and the Barnsley Boys.

Laughed at the time

Seriously think Tats was brought in above Robins head now. Leading to me thinking maybe

That's certainly not true,the club would need to sell 40,000 shirts with his name on them if that was the case....and that will not happen.
What is true is that the club were scouting another player when he impressed and that led to him signing.None of the new players have been brought in above Robins head, I've mentioned it before Dean Austin is a long term very good friend of Robins,bit of jobs for the boys going on imo.

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.

Reminded me of those bottom half Championship finishes of yesteryear really
Click to expand...
I think the booing was largely frustration at the conceding of the late goal.

Then that’s fucking shocking that we’ve handed £35m to some mate of the manager TBH. He’s clearly miles out of his depth.

It does. And whilst it isn't close-knit yet, I still don't hear the likes of Fadz, Godden or Kelly saying "Wright's shit" (even if they think it). They're too professional.

I get that it seems like those 15 seconds cost us the game, I get that and it’s really frustrating, but it’s not the main reason why we lost. We lost because we can’t create enough chances and we can’t put them away when we do create some.
I don’t disagree that those last 15 seconds were a big part of the game but it wasn’t the overall issue in my view, it’s more criminal that we couldn’t put the game to bed earlier in the game, hanging on in there with a fragile 1-0 lead is just asking for trouble.

Tonight and Cardiff have shown us just how bad we can be, it’s properly demoralising tbh. We can keep the ball alright-ish but can’t do anything threatening with it. So much space in the midfield yet there’s no one playing in little pockets of space or running through channels.

I know it’s early days but I think back to the Leicester game and just wonder what’s gone wrong? We lost that game but we played as a united side who knew what they were doing, atm it feels like the more games we play the less united we become. I’m just properly properly disappointed tonight.

I have said that elsewhere on this thread, yes I do. This is the worst midfield we’ve had in this division full stop and what’s looking like the worst attack since our debut season. Palmer will not be missed but Sheaf and MVE really will with a very heavy fixture schedule between now and January. It is clearly not a happy camp either and as results get worse so will morale.

Beat QPR on Saturday and it papers over a few cracks but I don’t see us winning there frankly if we can’t see off Huddersfield at home.

Allen started 34 games last season and came on as sub 3 times. He was out injured otherwise. He basically made an appearance in every game he was available for.

I don’t think so.

Robins said Palmer was 4-8 weeks but Milan would be back quicker than that.

Just got home, still fuming. Not with the whole performance, just the result. I know it's petty as well, but it fucks me off when a fanbase sit on their hands for an entire game then give it the biggun when they snatch a late goal.

For the record not saying they shouldn't celebrate, of course they should. I'd have been going mental. But at least contribute something before that. Anyway, I need sleep before I reassess tomorrow.
