Well yet again we are the masters of our own downfall. Can’t defend/final ball lacking/chances missed again/down to 10 men. Only thing missing was we didn’t concede a penalty.

Osti did but the ref knew we were giving enough presents away without him adding more

Btw look at the 2nd goal replay and see that O Hare is chasing back but Shipley just stood there watching the ball.....

Both of them should have been closer to the player that scored though but Shipley clearly lost concentration again!

If we'd fought and lost 2-1 or a tight 1-0 I can understand that and have done in the past. Tonight was abject surrender and we again didn't look like threatening anything from 10 minutes onwards

But when we were scrapping for points and going unbeaten for 8 games you moaned about that too...

Don't like that either. Sorry Harry but seeing the City rolling over on the eve of another 15 hour day has me more melancholy than Blackadder 4

Easily 3rd best? Pete shut up he had 60 misn and did little

You know i agree staying up is all that matters and this season is going v well overall but don't troll tonight. Today was terrible unlike previous losses and we should never give up on a game after 47 mins.

Such a knob. His touch and hold up play was much better than baka and Max. You’re being mad

Not saying that at all. I just don’t think sacrificing a man in midfield to go two up top (esp Baka who has been mentioned) would necessarily have been the way to do it. We’ll never know thanks to another bout of horrendous defending for their second and the red card, but I think we’d have a better chance with the formation we started with.

In any scenario we would have lost for me. Their front four were on another level.

No he really didn’t and the fact that a 5 foot 7 inch midfielder has scored more headed goals this season that the selfie man who masquerades as a striker says all we need to know
Click to expand...
This is also the "attacking midfielder" that hasnt got a single assist in 935 mins of football and then a bloke who has had less than a 3rd of the time on the pitch as said midfielder and has scored more goals, and has an assist!

We did, with our best forward by a mile on the pitch. But I’m basing this on the first half tonight three months on.

Covcity4life is always right! I have seen us lose this season and felt optimistic

Just watched the 3rd goal and Wilson should have saved it, it's 30 yds out and is hit about a yard to his left, no foot movement at all.

We played 5-3-2 and beat them despite supposedly sacrificing the midfield to their front 4 of Messi, Ronaldo, Van Basten and Pele

Look we outplayed them first half and make a schoolboy error to let them in. Second schoolboy error came within 30 seconds of the second half. Then we lost our heads and became sloppy and clueless. Shipley not good enough. O'Hare can run all day but there is just no end product from him atm. Needs benching. Wilson had little to do oddly, though the second goal I felt he should have stopped.
Really missing Kelly's influence. james looks a good signing, good vision at times but needs to get up to match speed and fitness, and it eventually showed. Hyam just seems to have lost form of late at a crucial time, made worse with McFaz's red now. Can't judge the new striker yet. was asking a lot to put him straight in. Much to work on over the next week. Giles and Allen have to play a role somewhere. Hamer must be pushed forward.

McFaz out puts us in a difficult spot now. I think a dressing room row or two might clear the air tonight. We began so well but looked disjointed so often. Shipley and not Sheaf? New signing straight in when Max has not been so bad. We are shot shy, and lack movement into the box. Team selection is critical now going forward.
Click to expand...

New signing has been on bench behind two good strikers at Swansea. He needs games.
Starting him on bench would have achieved nothing. We have to back him and play him from start over 5 or 6 games. Bring him off when knackered.

We played some abysmal stuff in that run against teams for the most part around us. When we played well I enjoyed it as much as anyone

Robins has lost it:

'Losing McFazdean didn't help.'
'They are a good team.'
'We played well apart from the three goals.'

Here’s Robins

We’re playing against a very good team.
Got to stop those mistakes now.
We need to be more clinical.
This league in unforgiving.
Not good with ball in second half. Good in first.
Games gone after 2nd goal.
We are not tight with the ball.
Some of our play was positive. Good set pieces. But more negatives.
We are playing a really good team.
We were good tonight if you take the mistakes out (fucking hell serious man?)
Dust ourselves down and go next week. We can have a rest.
We need to get players fit.
Run of games at home and chance to dust ourselves again.
We have lost some of our confidence and playing with fear.
Viktor will suit one upfront for some games. Will be great if we can get Tyler and Matty back soon. Got injury issues not making issues.
We are done with players coming in this window.

No, what's pathetic is throwing your toys out the pram when we get beat by a better team.

We've been shite tonight and comfortably beaten. It happens, they're miles better than us. Deal with it or go and support Man City.

The thing is I don't believe they were miles better than us, we contributed to our own downfall gifting them chances to score, I will concede their forward line were miles better than ours though

We definately outplayed them first half. Even the home commentators were saying it. Second half it was men against boys and we fell apart, got sloppy and lost our heads.

Youre preaching to the choir here. I felt we needed at least two forwards in the window.

One striker gasping for air up front is not a forward line it's a dot
