If we look objectively they are strong in midfield and defensively we are struggling. Both flanks the wingbacks look vulnerable - sheaf and Hamer are not really strong enough to hind them when they move forward

we look a more fluent team going forward but we’ve got to be better at the back

If he’s not fit enough to play football why is he in the bench? If he’s fit enough for 45 minutes play him for your first 45 surely and then hopefully we will be ahead if you have to bring him on? Baffling

Don’t think Robins has anyone to select for the bench in defence. Our lack of squad depth is showing.

Why do we accept inept officials.

We pay out money and put our time and effort in. Our emotions and our passion goes into it and some idiot fucking ruins it.

I’m sick to the back fucking teeth of it.

2 of back 4 on yellows. Maatsen has something going forward but is incredibly rash in his defending

DaCosta not as bad as being made out. He’s not taking his man on, but he’s a full back not a winger. We are blessed with Dabo.

On that note, as I said before bring Pask on af CB and get Dabo RWB where he can impact the game.

Sheaf has played well and Gyokeres is a real handful and full of confidence again.

Waghorn doing well of the call but pretty minimum on it.

We’ve been by far the better team, but caught out by a silly error (or two). Second half if we step it up slightly (which we’re capable of) we’ll get back into it.

He’s been dreadful mate, he hasn’t beaten his man once, he takes about 10 seconds to make his mind up as to what he’s going to do next every time he has the ball and he’s rubbish defensively too. They’ve got a CB playing out of position at LB and we haven’t taken advantage of it at all.

Good first half except the pathetic pen Dabo gave away. Dacosta one of his better games and at least Ohare is hitting the target this time. We are desperate for a top class goal scorer shame we havnt got a few million in the bank to buy one like Armstrong

So little power on the shots in general. Only Maatsen has hit one with a bit of conviction

Missed the first half of the half getting iFollow working. We look alright. Nightmare from Dabo for the pen but otherwise looks better than V Forest. Dacosta is doing OK for him TBH. Sheaf and Hamer looking class again. Forwards being too greedy and Sheaf not greedy enough. Györkeres should’ve squared a couple of times, O’Hare if he’d controlled the rebound would surely have scored one on one, Sheaf needed to swing his left foot and we’d have scored.

Unlucky to go in 1 down, absolutely dominated them. Hope that doesn’t get to them mentally.

Would be tempted to Chuck Pask on for Dacosta but which Pask turns up is a real question. Ref is fucking awful, as per.

If that’s a pen then make it a non contact sport and be done with it.

I was right in line with the contact and it’s a shoulder to shoulder.

Tom Daley would be proud of that dive.

What’s he done badly today mate?
Click to expand...
He always seems to be just too far behind play when he should be further forward providing an outlet for the midfield, or just too ahead of play when they win the ball and he leaves us exposed and pressure on the defence. You can tell dabo is itching to do that job and tries to do it all.

What do you want from a wing back, if you take it back to basics? defending (he can’t really defend he’s an accident waiting to happen), ability to take on his man and beat his man (not done that once, tried some skill at one point and fell over his own feet), and be able to cross a ball. Well his crosses have been poor and if he can’t even get himself a yard of space it doesn’t matter if he can cross.

He also can’t really handle short quick passing in tight areas which dabo can.

Im not being harsh he’s just shit at this level

We passed up a lot of chances and were brittle at the back so yes it’s similar.

We're great getting to the edge of their box, but the shots are dog shit.

It's okay though, can smash them in during the pre match warm up

sorry if it’s the other way round you would be screaming for it. Very few players even protested

I'm amazed he didn't go with a back 4 with what was available.
