Drop Collins for Dovin , Bidders for Da Silva Kitchin for Binks - subs on at 50 mins if loosing

amazed it took FL to 65 minutes to make a change. I can understand not changing at half time if we come out firing but once the 3rd went in, should have changed it.

then it again the changes did nothing anyway

Well he is never going to track back as a left sided mid is he. He also is slow off the ball. Fine if you are a striker playing of the defender not so good if you need to help out your lb. But please keep picking and miss the point being made

Yeah you want you 19 goal inside forward tracking back and defending.

Do you know who else is lazy, that Kane fella at Munich. Waste of time.

I think he was in shock. He knew there wasn’t a chance the team was coming back because he saw how mentally weak they are.

So you would have given Robins another £5 or £10 million in January after his recent record on signings?
Robins had created a shambles, something had to be done sooner rather than later.
I would personally not judge Lampard until after he's had a chance to bring a few players in, offload a few and give his team 20 or so games.

We had players laughing on the pitch after that game, summed them up. The difference this season is the squad lost the few remaining decent professionals it had.

Sense of entitlement by our players very telling.

Like they can just turn up and beat teams without even trying.

Too many players strolling around the pitch giving the ball away-tone led by Sheaf.

No fight, effort or playing for the shirt in the game-also our sports psychologists need to address the drop in confidence and composure when Collins made that gaff for their first.

Heads dropped and we lost it the moment Calamity Collins let it in.

Bassette will come good but not a starter for me ... His miss 1v1 was a key moment.
Click to expand...
He's clearly got enormous potential, and you can see exactly why he was brought in, but he's so inexperienced, and his decision making in the box is so poor.

I'm not a Simms fan (for the outlay), but he has to be our starter.

What a difference since Dennis Lawrence and Adi Viveash departed, Lawrence leaving especially is when the defence started to meltdown.
Decent defensive coaching , get Dovin in goal help for Sheaf in the middle and we may have a chance

Other than that its like groundhog day virtually every fking game!

Last season and this season combined have been poor.

Yes Wembley was great. But that doesn’t discount that we’ve been pretty poor for 18 months now except for a decent 3 month period last spring.

Dowie won at Old Trafford and got us to the top of the Championship. Do you this time in charge was good?

I'll forgive Lampard that (Not our wank players however) but I want to see him be ruthless after that - Certain players need dropping from the matchday squad all together after that and reinforcements are desperately needed

The repercussions in the aftermath of that performance have to be seismic, that cannot be brushed over or cannot go unpunished - Some people just before Christmas have pissed money up the wall on tickets and for some, trains and hotels to be served up that, utterly disgraceful

Click to expand...
With respect, whilst I’m sure you said that the defence was awful at the start (as did I), so many were frantically masturbating over the signing of Binks, fawning over his shoes!! It was like he was heralded by so many as the second coming of Maldini.

Binks; a player who was at best a back up last season. Absolutely gutless, weak, pathetic and clueless. So many mistakes he has made; outjumped/outmuscled in the build up to the first Oxford United goal, needlessly sliding in on the half way line against QPR, allowing Adebayo to just run across him against Luton Town, needlessly running out to Hamer against Sheffield United. The guy has the positional sense of a toddler on a photo shoot. Yet you look on some of the forums and people are claiming that they don’t understand why he was dropped for a couple of games (one of which we kept a clean sheet!)

Well 3 clean sheets in 35 games is an horrific defensive statistic. What a waste of money!

Why are our fans like this , this is why we argue
Click to expand...

there are two things relevant here - one is that Robins decided, against advice, to fall out with and get rid of at least 50% of the reason we were successful, and the messing around with the coaching / management / backroom staff appear to have had a detrimental effect on the team, and the constant chopping and changing goalkeeper / back four etc showed little evidence whoever was making the decisions knew what they were doing…

two, no matter how much noise you make about it, the form from Wolves is entirely relevant, of course it is, it was the start of a very poor run of results which, if continued, would certainly lead to relegation, so something needed to change.

I don’t think anybody could deny Robins was one of, if not the best manager we’ve had at the club in terms of moments he’s given us, achievements over the years, and I think most importantly how he brought the team and the fans together, but he made mistakes and ultimately couldn’t undo them.

there’s no point looking backwards though, and there is hard evidence we would’ve struggled with Robins still here (results, form, team selections, tactics and substitutions) but NO evidence he was turning it round - yeah he’s done it before but that’s not evidence he would’ve done again.

I think people ‘argue’ because there seems to be a black or white view to this, and I don’t think that’s the case
