We were better than them first half. Despite us looking pretty toothless,
we seem to be toothless every game now, Gyokeres must be fkin knackered, waghorn offers fuk all, for me time to let Tavares play some part, what have we got to lose.
and Robins beginning to lose the plot.
Our problem is the final third, no shots I rate Sheaf one of the best midfielders in the division but can’t remember one pot shot, can’t remember his last shot, non from Allen, non from Shipley, Waghorne gets his usual criticism when he comes on but atleast he had two or three digs at goal, I’m sure it’s an issue in Robins thoughts and plans but an am has to be his close season priority.
I’ve just had a stint in hospital and a bit house bound at the moment so watching a lot more footie than normal and watch the prem teams they get 20 yards from goal they are looking to pull the trigger we want to walk it in.
I totally agree but everyones clamour on here for Tavares is clutching at straws, he is a young kid and all he has to do is have a couple of stinkers and the crowd get on to him, as our crowd has a habit of doing, he goes from hero to zero and ends up somewhere like Wrexham ala Ponticelli. Lots of people were clamouring for Foden but Pep managed that right so lets stop the clamour for him to start playing in the first team and leave it to Robins, although I would like to see what he can do myself its really too early for the kid as yet...same with Howley but I do feel we will see at least one of them before the season ends if not bothDon’t think anybody is saying he’s going to take the league by storm. Robins is moaning the players are tied, if that is true then it must be the same for other teams given they have played more matches than us. With 10 minutes to go and with no real prospect of threatening the opponent’s defence I can’t see why you wouldn’t throw someone on with some speed it might actually do something.
I can hear the after match interview now on Saturday that we were too tired again, the pitch was bumpy, the pitch will be the same for both teams. He has a squad and chooses not to use some of them, fine but don’t moan they’re tied when you could have done something about it.

Same old shit from Robins I’m afraid. I genuinely wouldn’t be arsed if he fucked off at the end of the season.
Thanks, watching us dominate and lose doesn’t help.Hope your recuperation is going well.
We definitely need someone a bit more direct in mdfied with an eye for goal.
I suspect you'd read the same comments on the West Brom, QPR, Blackburn forums at the mo too
This is it. Bagan had two games at notts County on loan and was sent back. A year later he's now given a chance at first team. Thrown in the deep end as morison put it.Fabio is 21, surely if he is going to make it at this level it's now, loads of teams are playing much younger players, "Robbings" and his assistants must genuinely believe he's not good enough.

Go on then, who would you want to replace him?Same old shit from Robins I’m afraid. I genuinely wouldn’t be arsed if he fucked off at the end of the season.
Yep. It's sink or swim in football. Throw these young lads in and see what happens. What's the worst that can happen?This is it. Bagan had two games at notts County on loan and was sent back. A year later he's now given a chance at first team. Thrown in the deep end as morison put it.
Last player we threw in the deep end was bayliss and he did okay! Thr lack of faith must he really concerning
Robins himself said the energy levels weren’t there tbfSome weird comments on here.
Cardiff looked fresher and fitter than us? No they didn't. They took their chances well and wisely didn't chase us around the park while we retained possession. Sat back and let us ask very few questions.
HoW cAn theY be TiRed thEy r atHlete?! Because athletes are human and humans get tired with lots of strenuous activity, whether you train for it or not, sometimes you get tired?!

We don't play a high intensity game any more. We dropped that tactic a while ago and now are a possession side with no cutting edge.Having slept on it, I think Cardiff got their tactics right
They knew we would come at a high intensity and they just cleared their lines for the majority of the game. They also have a busy schedule so everyone is shattered
They then pounce at the opportunity knowing our high intensity game knackered us and take the win
Maybe we need to play a half of absolutely crap football just to get a breather then play our normal game for the second half. Otherwise I can't see it getting any better until a break in fixtures

We don’t have the legs for it the squad is thin hence why we hoped for faces in janWe don't play a high intensity game any more. We dropped that tactic a while ago and now are a possession side with no cutting edge.
I accept those points but the difference is Howley is 18 and there is little need at this stage to get him to the first team other than for the match day experience. Tavares is 21 the same age as Foden. Foden has played over 80 Premier League matches and 30 Champions League matches so it’s hardly a comparison. Foden also made his debut fir the first team at least 3 seasons ago aged about 18. Tends to show that Pep’s philosophy is give him a taste then slowly allow him to play more. Think that’s all we’re saying.I totally agree but everyones clamour on here for Tavares is clutching at straws, he is a young kid and all he has to do is have a couple of stinkers and the crowd get on to him, as our crowd has a habit of doing, he goes from hero to zero and ends up somewhere like Wrexham ala Ponticelli.

Most players playing at 21 in an u23 side don’t make it as they aren’t good enough and that’s the likely case here
We dropped it long before tiredness became an issue.We don’t have the legs for it the squad is thin hence why we hoped for faces in jan
If he isn’t going to give him a run out when we have 1/2 fit strikers then when is he ever. He had no problems playing Eccles who is the same age and had less league experience prior
he clearly doesn’t think he’s good enough
Is a lumbering ineffective Waghorn still a better bet than a rookie with pace to burn?
