Wrong lineup.
Unable to change anything in the game.
Like for like changes.

Changing full back in added time at 2-1 down

He hasn't got the hands are tied excuse.

JDS coming on 3 mins into injury time. Laughable.

No chance but he’ll be under serious pressure at the moment.

There’s no plan. Starting the same team as Wednesday was a joke. You can see we have individual quality in parts (although EMC looks a terrible buy) but there’s no cohesion.

Looks like we've spent some big money on players who are very very average, Rudoni apart.

Body language looks off. Wright the biggest culprit. Did not look interested at all.

I've been a Robins fan for a long time, and he's given us some of the best days as Cov fans... but I reckon he's got four games before Doug acts. I think he knows that too because he seemed more animated than usual

He really needs to stop playing Allen in CM, he's not good enough.

Was Wright injured or just hooked? He was awful.

Dasilva should have come on earlier, Bidwell was knackered.

Absolutely Nick.

Said it as soon as team announced so predicable that we’d be knackered after Weds question is what the fuck was Robins thinking?

We also sat back (again) in the first half with the full backs (yet again) sitting back and this invited pressure and enabled Swansea to stroll around our weak press.

Again why are we doing this when we are at home. So fucking negative & let’s away team get a hold of the game and yet again we left chasing a result.

Half time brought changes which were far too late.

Is it the players or is it the way Robins is setting them up.

Shame we’ll never know but what we do know is that it’s another poor home performance.

Very strange decisions again.

Kitching is better than Binks.
Wright can’t play twice in a week.
I know Bassette played well weds but shouldn’t have dropped Simms after scoring last week.
Allen should absolutely not have started.

We have never replaced Kyle McFadzean in terms of leadership and pure physical presence in the heart of the team. He was an old school type of leader, a no nonsense hard man who was a pain in the arse to the opposition from corners and set pieces and whom sorted his defenders when we needed to defend .
He may not have been gifted for his ball playing skills but he possessed qualities we no longer have.

He kept Allen on in the week and he was exhausted and caused us issues.

He starts him today

Yeah torp for Allen changed the game. Dasilva for Bidwell is a real game changer

Teams have figured us out. Carbon copy when we lose, what was that famous phrase. “Streetwise”

Were so far off the mark. A good half here and there's doesn’t cut the mustard anymore.

Unfortunately today could be the final straw, There’s no more excuses. “tired” “Young” “inexperienced” “need time to gel” It’s not good enough. I feel this is the end for Robins

We’ve been here before, jumped the gun and called for Robins head and he’s turned it around but I’m sorry. Today wasn’t good enough and the stats no longer lie.

He will go down in our history, but I think unfortunately at some point all good things come to an end.

I'm really not interested in listening to his post shite comments right now.

I don't think he should go, but I'd rather he said fuck all and sorted things out in the dressing room.

Stupid decision. I’m still not sure on Torp but he’s miles ahead of Allen.

Des Buckingham doing a good job at Oxford (although they lost today). He's the kind of manager I'd go for.

We get overrun when Allen plays, he's not good enough.

And bringing Dasilva on so late is obviously not going to change the game, that's my point.

I wish we’d stop this nonsense about Leadership.

Having a leader ain’t stopping Robins picking the wrong team, or playing the wrong formation and tactics.

Having some who can shot and grab the game by the scruff of the neck is brilliant but they can win games alone.

We don’t need leadership we need direction.

It’s a bloody rudderless ship at the moment.

Agree with all of that apart from Binks. Probably the best of a bad bunch today.

Anybody see the body language when the players came out for the second half?

They looked like they couldn't be arsed. Just dawdled out.
