3-2 massively flatters us.

There's almost part of me that wishes we'd lost more heavily so MR can't use the 1 goal defeat as an excuse to carry on trying this that isn't working.

Need to see a massive improvement next game, and for me wholesale changes to personnel cos too many players were just shocking. If Palmer and Wright start the next game I give up.

Worst I've seen us play in years do not look like a team one bit

Some of the clueless muffins on here who constantly criticise Allen, yet we suddenly look a bit more like a team when he's on and offering an option to recycle the ball. I wouldn't be bothered if I never saw Palmer play for the club again after that.

I've always thought Allens been a good player. Always one of those consistent 7/10s and last season, added more goals to his game.

Looked like he's carrying more timber but understandable. Nice to see him back.

Very poor tonight

steve101 · Sep 19, 2023

When we lose star players, we have to be stronger as a unit. We can't afford any player to have poor performances. Unfortunately, we had exactly that from several players. Wilson, McFadzean, Palmer and Wright were dreadful. Eccles not much better but finished a bit better. Kitching also poor debut.

1 win in 7 …. No shape, no confidence, no threat best player Tats or Joel.

Worrying.

Saka looked good too, but nit convinced he’s a wing back. I’m not entirely sure what he is, but I’d like to see him involved more.

He’s a winger. Why we signed him when we don’t play with wingers I’m not sure. I really like him so I’m hoping we can find a place for him. He looked good as an attacking mid when he was played there briefly but I think he’s a bit too weak physically to play there for us.

Another thing is I really don't understand what Bidwell has done wrong to be dropped. He is significantly stronger defensively that Da Silva and I don't necessarily think hes too far off going forward.

I rate Da Silva, but I really rate Bidwell. Mental that he’s been dropped.

Martin180 · Sep 19, 2023

So disappointed tonight , first half was so laboured and slow , crying out for energy and creativity. Last 20 minutes just showed why MR needs to be braver . Thought Simms looked hungry and full of energy when he came on , Ayari looking for a pass or a quick 1-2 and Allen buzzing about . Have to play them against Huddersfield.
Wright and Palmer should be way down the pecking order after tonight , they were abysmal .
I thought Binks showed a lot tonight , very comfortable on the ball and loves pinging the ball out to the wing
Fingers crossed it gives Robins a huge wake up call tonight .
We can't replace Hamer but tonight showed if we have enough creative ,energetic players on the park we will create lots of chances

I don't think Wilson did much wrong, but thought Eccles was horrendous.

Dirk Turpin · Sep 19, 2023

Poor all round but probably needed the loss to give us a kick up the arse and switch it up. Kitching is a fitting name for him because hes about as nimble as a fridge

skyblu3sk · Sep 19, 2023

Awful just fucking awful, I think I'm reasonably calm as posters go but nothing to take away from that game. Godden may be scoring but neither striker can hold up the ball which is really hurting our game with us unable to take the pressure off. Even Kitchen looked dodge when he came on. Sakamoto, brilliant going forward but really dodgy defensively. It reminds me of the start last year when we weren't played off the pitch but every match was frustrating!

shmmeee · Sep 19, 2023

Whole thing needs an overhaul. Umbelievable this is the team after £20m of signings.

Poor going forward but it's the defence that cost us the game tonight, three really shit goals.

3 against Watford too. It's a real concern

Admit it - we looked far better when Allen was on the field and Palmer off it

SBT · Sep 19, 2023

Really not sure we’ve got the recruitment right on that showing. I’d be sweating if I was Dean Austin.

We need to get Ayari up to speed asap as there’s no-one else capable of creating chances until O’Hare returns.

DrPoolittle · Sep 19, 2023

Lots of managers thrive out there with a limited budget. It forces them to be careful and husband resources. Moyes was good example, so was John Bond years ago.

But give them money and they pork it large.

Just a sense that the club spent money because it had money, rather than spend it carefully

Time to start Ayari-and Simms instead of Wright. Would like Bidwell for Dasilva too. Allen to push for a start soon.

I think that's cheating.

Finham · Sep 19, 2023

He’s an old fashioned winger - he has to play in a four at the back formation.

Or a forward 3-think Cole/Robben at Chelsea.

SeaSeeEffCee · Sep 19, 2023

Robins is having a terrible season so far. Got his subs wrong in pretty much every game and the team selection tonight was shocking.

SkyBlue_Bear83 · Sep 19, 2023

What a waste of a season

Deleted member 9744 · Sep 19, 2023

I thought Kitching looked terrible.

Wright and Palmer horrendous.

Only Latibeaudiere and Dasilva played well. Wouldn't blame Wilson for any of the goals.

Can we put the nonsense about dropping Godden to bed?

And then we sell O’Hare in January

Macca · Sep 19, 2023

The Wright signing is one of the biggest mysteries in all my days watching them. I’ve given up on Palmer too. Bored with gelling bollocks this is a bottom half set up

no_loyalty · Sep 19, 2023

I really don’t know how we are going to get a tune out of the 2 new strikers.

Ashdown · Sep 19, 2023

Fair play to Matty, especially when you have got morons screaming he’s rubbish and does nothing.
CCFC have had their pants down on Wright for sure and probably Simms , it’s disappointing .

You spelt Ayari wrong.

He was the difference.

If Robins comes out and says anything complimentary then I am really going to be annoyed. He has totally messed up tonight.

Day’s extra rest and they turn in the worst performance so far. It was alarmingly poor and no sane manager can defend it.

Completely agree. Anyone who watched the last half and hour at Hull and thought a similar set up would serve us well tonight is crazy. Robins should shoulder some of the blame for that shambles. Alarmingly bad tonight. Palmer and Wright were pathetic. We offered absolutely nothing going forward.

It was always going to be tough when you lose your two best players with a combined 50 goals/assists.

Have to say, Simms did far more than Wright in the 10 mins he was on the pitch.

I’m not someone who usually dogs on a player but fuck me he was woeful tonight. Looked promising the first few games but he looked almost confused as to what sport he was playing tonight.

Eccles was awful, way below the level. Will end up at Shrewsbury. Palmer absolute dross.

Eccles had a dodgy match, this is a dickhead conclusion.

Really dont know what Bidwell has done wrong

CV3_PUSB · Sep 19, 2023

Eccles had multiple chances to make key passes through their defence and passed to a Cardiff player every single time. Worst performance Ive seen from us in a while

This is an overreaction based on 30 minutes and I don’t entirely mean it, but £4.5mil for Kitching? He is not the comfortable ball playing CB I expected, he looked ponderous.

Binks showed up well tonight , don't think Kitching will replace him anytime soon
