If you can’t defend your own 6 yard box and can’t score sitters, you deserve to lose.

Anybody pick up what he mentioned about "people having things going on".
Is this a reference to him and what @Saddlebrains (I think) has alluded to in the past. Or is there something going on with some of the other players personal lives?

He's right - it is fine margins, and we are/have been on the wrong side of that more often than not (apart from getting taken apart by Leeds)

This However is where we do need some grit/fight... Which has been lacking...

It might be fair to conclude that the reason some players can't understand the fan reaction to another loss and another step towards the relegation zone is that they just aren't very good players and have no real drive or aspiration. Good players hate losing and would be angry after a loss not whimpering about the reaction.

He's right about small margins, wright has a perfectly good goal chalked off, and then their keeper pulls off a world class save.

On another day etc etc etc!

I thought the performance was better than some of late, but we just need one to go in off someone's backside.

Completely agree which is why I said in the next two games. We’ve been shite so far and as I said earlier deserve the points we have

I’m not in the robins out brigade, he’s got plenty in the bank for me but who is there better to replace him with, all the available managers are available for a good reason
Click to expand...

I agree.

Any replacement will either be a young novice manager or a more experienced one who has been sacked by another club. Robins has proved he is a good manager.

I don’t know what’s wrong at the moment but I can’t help but feel that the lack of experienced leadership on the pitch is a big part of it and I not convinced that the blame for that lies with Robins.

Today was very disappointing but I don’t think the problem was lack of effort by the players, although I do think a number of them are lacking in confidence.

Blackburn wasn't as great as a few people were making it out to be.
Small margins - two out of three goals were deflections which on another day either the keeper saves or they deflect elsewhere, and wasn't one a GK error? (Without watching back I can't remember)....

You saw today the total lack of confidence running through our team & the rubbbish Robins comes out with doesn’t help anybody . Another 2 weeks off pre Preston & we still started the game as though we had hardly played together . Passing is awful , no movement when we have possession, an England esq playing mantra, of trying to bore the arse off the opposition , the ridiculous defensive positioning at defending corners , with all 11 in the penalty area & then going to sleep at the back post for their goal …….

You can't blame Robins it's not his fault keep on paying him 600 k a yeat and he doesn't have to hake any responsibility for the shite on the pitch. The players are certainly not playing for him.

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.

At the risk of kicking the ant hill we have a sports psychologist in a very senior position who you would kinda hope would be all over this.

Did anyone pick up on the chat between players today?
Lati played a pass out to Thomas who possibly had no options,so back it went, not happy, but tbf the ball he gave him was a joke really,it was sent awkwardly to him?
Then when MVE put that ball out for a corner, was it the goal?
He gestured that no one gave him the call possibly aimed at Dovin, but jeez!

I clocked the one between MVE and Dovin. Was the thomas one when he was shrugging his shoulders and was saying something like "not my fault"?

Seems every game there's little spats going on.

Made some good saves today but the thing about his lack of being vocal is well documented. If it wasn't for the hatred of Wilson then it would be disected much better.

A wimp? I didn't understand the post so asked for some clarification.

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 .
Click to expand...
Just like the controversy over Utd getting a Man off the pitch then oppo scores or Arsenal get a sending off?,No different to fads getting sent off before, unless you think there's a conspiracy with refs like Howard Webb was in the stands but can't be implicated in that SO as he can't communicate with officials because he can't speak with them, but he wasn't sending a text at the time?
Are we getting payback for having the audacity to ruffle the feathers last season?
It's every game we're on the end of one, and I expect a Trump level of examination of the events happening to us!!

They didn‘t seem to be doing much of that from where I was standing. The ball was in their half for a lot of the time after they went ahead.

He has a point.

When Preston were getting corners late on, they weren't trying to just keep the ball by the corner flag to kill time, they were actually putting the ball into the box every time. It was like they really wanted to score another goal.

If he's failed to keep another clean sheet and that's because he's not vocal enough in a key moment then it's a fair game talking point.

Yes I am saying that. He's embarrassing and dropping Dovin for him was just another example of Robins shitting the bed.

Talk about it all you want but the keeper is a long way from our biggest problem atm, and sticking bloody Wilson in is the answer to absolutely nothing.

Not uncommon for Thomas to have a disagreement with a team mate.

Glass houses and all that.
