We did little wrong
Use of the ball was ok
Not much in
Had opportunities
One of those games we ended up losing
Disappointing
Going to see the ref about the disallowed goal
Have to contend with fouls because they disrupt play
Disappointed for the players as they played good football
Just one of those games
Fine margins and we are losing out
Onto the next game
We make the wrong decisions
Played with 2 strikers and we were unfortunate
Changed formation because of what we had available
They went into the box formation at the end of the game
Use of the ball should be better
Played into their hands too often
We have to take our chances because we make mistakes
It wasn't a bad performance and we played ok
Came out the wrong side
Players bewildered and can't handle criticism
Support the players

Sounds completely deluded, he says he can't do anything once they cross the white line.

Somebody tell him that he can.

I will say I agree with most of that , we gave up a couple of poor chances first half but largely there wasn't much in it , we had chances to get something and the officials have chalked off a perfectly fine equaliser .

I mean in isolation today's comments were valid, but in the scheme of 2 wins in 18 games Robins needs to acknowledge there are bigger issues than being unlucky today and a poor referee decision.

“Because of what we have available”

Value of players sat on the bench you have to question this statement!?

No longer trusts DaSilva in a back 4 is only thing I can think?

Considering we had lots of wide players on the bench it doesn't make too much sense.

I think they all share the blame equally. The difference is that the players clearly think they’re doing fine.

If we go down they will flee like rats from a ship they helped to sink.

I don’t agree at all about the players, i think that’s rubbish. I think they know they’re not producing, but they’re too shit scared/ fragile/ bereft of confidence that they’re frozen and unable to do anything about it.

MR has sounded beaten and dejected for quite a while now. His lack of drive , enthusiasm, back up support from trusted colleagues, personal loss and players support is taking its toll.
It can’t be good for the players morale that every couple of games, many of them are getting dropped.
With so many things seemingly positive about the club as a whole it has unfortunately gone backwards where ot counts most.

MR has just said they’re bewildered by the reaction. These are meant to be ambitious professionals who should be able to own terrible performances.

I knew that was coming and I don’t disagree, however as has been said, I don’t think just getting rid of Robins now fixes anything bearing in mind who’s doing the replacing, it just- in my view- deepens the mess.

If their mindset is that a relegation scrap is to be expected, that's deeply concerning.

Not what I said either. I said they don’t see a problem with how they played, in the same way we heard England players commenting on their games at the Euros.

Weak.

If a ref decision went our way he wouldn't have mentioned it. They balance themselves out over a season

Maybe not random bullshit. If the players think what we have had so far is acceptable then what the fuck are they being told?

A goal down away from home and it’s the team in the lead that’s looking like the one needing an equaliser. Best hope was to go 4-3-3 immediately.

Oh we’d get a bounce no doubt, but as has been said, we’ve been here before and rarely has it ever worked out, and we’re back to having new managers every few months & end up losing all momentum.

Like Collins, Thomas and Kitching did before . It's called a losing mentality
