I thought last 15 he was on, Kelly finally looked like the one know and love. We all know he takes 6 games to get going. Problem is he's prob done now.

Someone said earlier about taking the game to them. Abso fucking lutly. This is Wycombe, not man city. If Steve Evans Gillingham played Wycombe next wee they wouldn't be fucking scared of them. Why were we!?!

We literally attack with just 2 players 1 striker and 1 number 10, its so negative.

And I've said this before about playing 2 up top, it doesn't automatically make you more attacking, you've got to get your midfielders in there as well which we don't do enough

The thing is LD the first 15 or 20 minutes we absolutely took the game to Wycombe
They were hanging on and booting the ball in the general direction of 'away'
But after Gus and Hamer's misses confidence seemed to drain away and we got worse the longer the game went on

BD you are right. I'm just fed up tonight. Gus or max score in first 5,we win. But every passing minute our confidence drained. Max played through on the left and the ball bounces off his knee.

I'm glad we finally got to see Pask at cb, did perfectly well.

Like most clubs some players are not happy when they are out of the side
Or less often, being asked to play in a position where they think they aren't effective and get stick from fans as a result
If we aren't winning games though the mood is bound to dip a bit
The players want to avoid relegation even more than us fans

Honestly yes I do.

BUT... I said 6 weeks ago the man management was appalling. We have a huge squad and it's full of players who are half fit. Gyo, baka, Shipley, Allen haven't featured for ages. O hare is burnt out. Gus isn't performing. Max confidence has now gone. He needs to pick these players up.

They looked lost today and to be sulking at times feeling sorry for themselves we defo missed fadz I feel struggling to see us getting anymore than 46 points if we go down with the Ricoh return etc it’s an absolute disaster

"Know for a fact".....
That isn't just a throw away statement. Relegation is on the cards at our club.
If something ain't right behind the scenes I want to know too.
I get inside bits. I havent asked about this... but haven't been told in passing either....

Like most of us they have mixed opinions of their boss
If they've just got a bollocking that I would have expected at half time in the Luton game and again today they aren't going to have much love for him
But they are all desperate to stay in this division not least because most, if not all of them will get a wage reduction if we're relegated

Your facts based on body language or info from inside club.
Robins never been animated on touchline...
Body language at HT vs Luton poor - I mentioned that in here...but game had gone.
Didn't think BL as bad today.
With more quality we'd have been 3-0 up after 15 mins. BL will be affected missing chances and not winning vs anybody.
So- Facts, or just opinion?....

No it’s my opinion on what I’m seeing the clear signs that some of them don’t wanna be out there

OK- fair enough.
I don't think any of them don't want to be out there, but I do think they are nervous and are holding back a little.
In addition the horrific surface will certainly not be helping confidence and how some of them naturally play.
Stuff like that, on top of regular missing of chances is going to affect body language and confidence of players.

Do you think Walker and Godden looked any good when they came on against Luton. Or today?
Godden nowhere near, Walker seems to be struggling in some way.
But don't let those comments above let anyone think that I am saying Biamou is the right choice either....

All well run clubs will have similar clauses in their player's contracts in the event of relegation

But.... he hasn't been able to even get himself into the position to get a chance to finish a chance like Biamou has had.

That is why I'm saying that he is struggling in some way too....

He’s not being played the Brentford game showed he can be quiet for long periods but give him service he will deleiver more than max,robins a former striker played under sir Alex its baffling he’s lost the plot

I think it's part of the issue for us. We seem extremely lacklustre. Doubt it would be that bad if we were in the stadium.

No. In the time he has, he hasn't even had a like ratio of getting into these positions. And I'm not defending Biamou here. I'm saying that something doesn't seem right with him.
Godden is nowhere near fit - that is his issue.

Hoping no Kelly or dabo might work in our favour streamline the midfield and get so energy and creative ability in there and right back get decosta a run to show what he can do.

1 up front with two behind is one thing, but Hamer just isn’t an AM, let the kid play his game and stop trying to shoehorn James and Kelly into the same team. Either give Max a partner or play Allen/Györkeres behind with O’Hare.

Two attacking players out of 11 is criminal.
