Robins has to own that one (1 Viewer)

Robin’s got it wrong tonight.

we knew Preston would press hard and be physical yet we ignored the more physical and experienced Kitchin and Bidwell in favour of Binks and Da Silva .

He waited until half time to alter anything and somehow managed to make us even less effective in the second half with the new formation.

Eccles set pieces were atrocious and yet he was kept on them all match …

Then the most inexplicable one of them all risking Torp when we were 0-3 down and 20 mins to go. The game had gone. It was a silly risk.

Personally I think the players got it wrong not Robins.

Deity · Feb 23, 2024

The players undoubtedly got it wrong but Robins got the initial team selection wrong, waited too long to act, then got the change in formation wrong.

Completely agree. They targeted Dasilva from the kick off. Crazy not to start Bidwell. Absolutely no idea why Binks is playing ahead of Kitching at the minute especially for a game like tonight. Everyone knows what Preston are about. Big, physical, direct side. So many games this season we have lost as soon as the teamsheet has gone in.

Robins made no excuses in the post match interview. Said it like we all saw it. "We were scared" springs to mind. They were.

SeaSeeEffCee · Feb 23, 2024

Playing Dasilva, Binks and Wilson was absolutely criminal. We set up like we’d not watched a second of Preston this season and had no idea how they played. To not even change anything until it was too late was shocking as well.

I don't get why you go in against a physical team with dasilva and leave kitching on the bench.

Robins gets most things right.

But he does have a habit of making some strange decisions.

Wilson
JDS
Binks

Why? He has pointed out the shite defence tonight, well the improvement started when he shipped out the above and brought Collins, Kitching and Bidwell in and the leaking of goals started again when he began using a dartboard to pick his team.

Likewise the Torp thing. Maybe he plans on playing him on Monday, but seemed a bizarre risk so soon after injury.

Eccles on corners. He should be banned from taking them. I'd put more money on my 15 month old kid beating the first man than Eccles. Yet he persists.

Let’s be honest every team since Bristol away had targeted Desilva when he plays. Constantly the ball is knocked over his head and the opposition score from it.

Award for the strangest take on tonight goes to …..

Domo · Feb 23, 2024

oggy was saying tht kelly has an infected foot or something, which is why hes not playing? its not purely been down to poor performances?

eccles corners werent beating the first man, regardless we should have focused on trying to play out from corners, if we can get the first and second ball in the air, which we didnt all game, why even pump it into the box?

Thanks.

Most people on the cup vs promotion thread seemed to prefer wining the cup, so tonights shit show doesn’t matter - it’s Monday that counts.

He takes way to many chances in our box

And you've commented on that so many times before tonight haven't you ?

skybluepm2 · Feb 24, 2024

Hopefully the last time we’ll see Jay Da Silva start this season. A truly shocking player.

djr8369 · Feb 24, 2024

I can’t understand why Wilson is back in to be honest.

coop · Feb 24, 2024

Players to blame not MR Wilson fuck off back to Sunderland

skybluecam · Feb 24, 2024

Switching to a 5 back second half was almost insulting to the 24,500 in there… obvious we were getting nothing from the game at that point. Not that some of them deserved it with the ridiculous antics at 1/2/3-0.

Earlsdon_Skyblue1 · Feb 24, 2024

'Crazy not to start Bidwell'

Give me a break. This forum has been full of some ridiculous love in for Da Silva over the last few weeks and I don't know why.

He played well against a second string Sheffield Wednesday team but has looked like one of our weakest signings all season otherwise. The champing for him recently is bizarre. No where near good enough.

Don't understand your point either.

alfielloyd · Feb 24, 2024

Robins is having an irrational moment, dropping Collins last week was odd, not playing our best defender is odd and most would have reverted back to Bidwell for this evenings game,

It's OK seems to be happening all the time these days mate, simply a riposte to Martin saying The forum was calling out Bidwell and I've been banging the Burroughs drum all season
Chopping and changing the squad for a couple of months, doing nothing for them to become a cohesive unit.
The squad last season must have burnt out yet got to Wembley?

alfielloyd · Feb 24, 2024

Robins is obsessed with players being tired but that does not excuse dropping Collins who is a fucking goalkeeper and not picking Kitching.

napolimp · Feb 24, 2024

OP is correct. Robins got it wrong on this occasion. If you want to win games you got to pick your best team. At the back that's Collins, MVE, Thomas, Kitching, Bidwell. If you got them available then play them. Chopping and changing the back 5 helps no one.

Wilson looks good when he has a cohesive and confident defence in front of him, which Binks and JDS were not. JDS was an accident waiting to happen, and Binks appeared to be running scared of what JDS might do next.

Happy_Martian · Feb 24, 2024

Everybody moaning that Kitching didn't start. So if he did, who do you play on Monday vs Maidstone if Binks isn't good enough ?

And how many of last night's goals were down to Wilson ?

JDS has got praise from forumites this season for some of his performances but based on one bad game, he's not worth keeping.

You're all correct. Throw the entire team out and start again. As if that works......

We've had a feckin' terrible performance with some of our second string given starting roles. The selection would have been fine if the players played as a team. Everyone chose to have a bad day at the office.

Lest we forget, the season isn't over because of one result. We knew this was a rebuild year, getting into the playoffs was always going to be a bonus, not an expectation.

And we got tanked by Stoke last season and still got into the playoffs.

This forum is getting worse for kneejerk reactions. Some of you need to give yourself 24 hrs calmdown time before posting.

Surprised @Grendel and @Ann Proctor-Brown haven't jumped on to add fuel to the fire.

What team have you been watching ? We've been letting in goals home and away for months, regardless of who is picked. Everyones favourite keeper Collins has no clean sheets in Jan, 7 games and 3 clean sheets in December and November was the only positive month, 4 games 3 clean sheets and 1 away game at Preston.

covboy9 · Feb 24, 2024

This performance was coming we got away with poor performances vs Millwall and stoke

injuries havnt helped but too much rotation at the back, silly to change the keeper we’ve contributed to our own problems
