Said that earlier in the thread, but there's no way the players are playing anywhere near their potential, and that doesn't appear to be entirely due to tactical approach.

More like the fans had a go at Robins, from what I saw Robins tried to calm it down.

Ironically, other than our finishing, thought we did better today than we have done in recent weeks. I missed the first 30 mins though. Although, I never felt like we were ever going to score, I was in the pisser when Haji scored

Needed Shead to be booked for £200, so he's on the cuntt list.

Easy to speculate but I reckon
: the dressing room has been lost. Not the same togetherness and a few egos thinking they are better than CCFC. Players not fighting for each other
: loss of Lawrence and viveash has been catastrophic. Yes we had poor starts while viveash here but never felt we weren’t capable of picking up points.
: Robins lack of ability to change games from the bench increasingly exposed.
: losing both O’Hare and palmer has left a big ‘creative’ hole. Neither were the best but both had the ability to provide a flash of brilliance.
: is King too involved in team selection, tactics etc?

Massive game Tuesday for the players, for Robins and for the club

Are we allowed to say it’s been shite since March yet or do we still have to pretend that the end of last season doesn’t matter at all?

You’re not allowed to say that, apparently all is forgiven once a new season starts

Largely eventless first half. Second half we were much better when we pressurised their back three. Wrights goal was fine. We’re far too easy to score against but we had more than enough chances to win - we just weren’t clinical enough. Some of our short range passing, especially Sheaf and Thomas is embarrassing. Nowhere near as bad as made out by some on here - but very frustrating nonetheless.

They’ll be right, all kids scare the shit out of you at least once with a hospital visit.

One game isn’t going to do it. Need to see a run of three or four performances. Something that shows we’ve got a plan we’re working towards and the players have half a clue how to operate it.

That side we put out should have won today against an average side.
Makes you wonder how much respect some of those players have for Robins or the club. Smiley happy vid's from Ryton when not under pressure and being paid to do a job most do us in here would dream of doing doesn’t cut it for me.
Some of the passing is half arsed a bit like some of the effort on the pitch.

I don't think so, let's hope if robins goes. ALL the backroom staff who've put him in this position go to. Lets start again before the season is a total loss

Agree, except we didn't create enough against a very average team. Really need to see Simms impact the game. It passes him by too regularly for me.

We have got a very hard run of games after next week and if we’re putting in displays like this we’re going to be deep in the shit.

I think they said Dempster does the set pieces and looking at the quality of them he should be first in the Uber

I'm lost for words as to how the whole club has fallen apart, it's very sad.
I do not believe that it is Robins fault, it's the fault of those people who have robbed him of his number1 coach and left him with a pricey squad that are not up to the job.
I can only assume that King has been fed a load of cattle manure and fallen for it.
What a sad mess we are in.

With all our coaching staff you'd think we'd successfully handle a throw in or a corner, for and against. A corner for us is like giving them an advantage. Absolutely nothing comes of them. The players just stand and watch

Thought the “stuck six men in the far corner of the box then play it near post” was very innovative.

I would put the chances of that happening as pretty close to zero. IMO football is moving towards the North American model with huge groups of coaches covering every area of the game

Think we'll increasingly see managers / head coaches coming in and being expected to work within the existing coaching structure and with limited scope to make changes to the squad

We put 5 or 6 players in our own 6 yard box and the goal is still scored from point blank.

Relegation battle for this team and they don’t look up for the fight.

Sheaf was the worst player on the pitch today. Give Eccles the captaincy and get Sheaf focusing solely on his own game.
