Watching their goal back yes howler by Dovin but in fairness dovin was already diving as the QPR player shaped to volley into the corner but he actually shinned it straight down the middle instead

He should have done better but to me dovin seems clearly to be our best keeper

Can't see how the horrendous atmosphere on here doesn't change unless we keep winning matches.

Even if we won tonight and lost against Luton we'd still be having the same conversations.

I said I'd stay away and in fairness I should have , can't see me having much in common with most on here over the coming weeks

The problem is we’re not winning matches, and carrying on playing how we are and we won’t.

You can’t be that blind to see how bad the performances have been this season and seemingly it’s getting worse. We look like relegation fodder. Players look lost, no passion or fight.

QPR were poor tonight, we wont be that lucky on Saturday…

I mean no offence Seamus but couldn’t you make that point with any player. Not like we’ve been keeping clean sheets when anyone else is playing either.

On the plus side, if ever you want to make some easy money, just wait for the team to be announced, then when Luis Binks is announced as playing, put a bit on the opposition to score, and you’re quids in (and hurting the bookies)

Keep doing that for the season, and if we all do it, we could fund a huge piss-up in Lloret to drown our sorrows after a season of absolute shite

Re their goal watch the replay watch what DaSilva does and doesn't do. He was all over the place. He was like that all night defending, he may as well not have been on the pitch as a defender.

Luton are also all over the place in fairness , so what to expect who knows .

All I know is if you're robins in this place isn't going to be of interest for you , if you are robins out , the circle jerk is in full swing

No movement up front when in possession around the box or overlaps down the sides. Midfielders not wanting to break the lines with either a through ball or breaking into space. We desperately need some creativity or this season's going to be rough old ride.

Yeah and add to that our passing is appalling.

I do think our recruitment strategy has caused this, we look like a second hand car lot……Loads of individuals pinging around trying to look shiny and buyable but very few playing as a team at all. We have been cobbled together from a bunch of show ponies !

Christ, that was like watching something up The Memorial Park. In summary two wing backs got absolutely roasted, Lati shakes like a shitting dog whenever the ball comes near him. Simms and Wright’s ball retention was almost impossibly poor. Both teams bizarrely just deserted the midfield. Why can’t we get the ball out of our feet and pass? We desperately need leadership so we’ve signed a mute goalkeeper etc etc etc. Cack.

First half we were poor and scored, second half we were decent at times and conceded a stupid goal. Some games this season have ruined my faith in MR and this team, but tonight isn't one of them for me.

Agree to an extent. But with Binks it goes back to last season too!

ONE league clean sheet in two seasons for a defender is a terrible statistic. Last season his clean sheet percentage was around ten percent, this season it is obviously zero percent.

Kitching last season was around 30 percent clean sheets, and this season in the very few league games he started he already has one, against a Blackburn side who were in good form.

That's a weird stat though. You need to take the defensive unit as a whole into consideration surely?

Evo, genuinely, do you still honestly believe hand on heart that Mark Robins is going to turn this round with the current set up?

I’m a very optimistic person, but when you see the same thing happen every single game and nothing changes you have to start asking questions

What is it they say about stupidity - doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different outcome…. it’s not going to happen!!

Am I in the wrong to say Wright could have done more to close down the initial pass up the line?
Not excusing Dovin, dreadful from him.

Yeah we could have won but I'm not sure the performance screams improvement and a team ready to surge up the table

Could be a case of just needing a win to get out of a funk but I'm not confident it's definitely just that
