Thought Godden and Kelly looked very league 1 today. Godden is a passenger when we aren't creating him chances, he's too slow to trouble teams outside the box.

Dabo had a decent second half.
He's lost at centre half . Just can't see what Robin's see's in playing him there

To be honest there were several really poor performances today , which obviously can't happen against a side like West brom

No he fucking ain't.
But if you know that, and I know that, and 20 thousand sky blues fans know that, why the fuck has MR started him there in place of Hyam.

Awful. Hope they were ill because if not that was dreadful. Rose and Fadz were OK, Kane was average, Shwaf OK, Hyam, Dabo, Hamer, Kelly, the front three were so poor.

Because hyam weren't fully fit ? I think that's quite obvious

Perfect time to play West Brom. Opportunity missed entirely because of the selection. Never want to see Dabo at centre back again. Concentration isn't good enough and isn't comfortable enough on the ball.

Agree. Don't understand why MR wants to play Dabo out of position. He sucks at CB. Honestly, his crossing as a WB are not much better these days either. O'Hare maybe needs a rest as he is running on fumes and not offering much. Hamer should not have played; clearly unfit. Should probably have gone with 1 up top and played a 5 man midfield as they controlled the middle of the park for pretty much the whole game. Gyo needs Waggy as a sidekick to score I think. Not sure why Gyo's just totally gone off the boil. Godden needs to regrow the tash pronto.

This loss is on MR.

Yeah we weren’t great. But they were miles from being the best we’ve come up against, can’t give them any more credit than beating a team who are ill.

Tbf though he was fit enough to play at least 45 mins, if he wasn't Robins wouldn't have brought him on at half time. Surely you start him then take him off if he doesn't last?

Also how fucking hard is it to play the ball in front of the man?

Need to move out a few of the L1 players and get some quality in.

Then you play Sheaf there.
Dabo was never the answer, and it cost us a point.

Agree he’s had a mare whenever played there, can only assume he played him if hyam wasn’t 100% and or they were pacy upfront and hyam and mcfadzean aren’t

On a plus note I think Dabo has cemented himself onto the bench for the rest of the season.

That's harsh. He certainly isn't a RCB. Looked very decent at LWB though (and even then he's playing out of position) - so give him a break.

I actually though Dabo was pretty good today for most of the game but his part in the first goal will be what is remembered. Conversely Kane, who got an assist and almost forced an owngoal, was really poor outside of those contributions.

Either way it's an issue , I doubt Robins is playing him there because he wants to

Look at who we've played though. We've had a real tough run of games to deal with. We'll be top 6 come the end of the season.

Yes no more Dabo at centre half please. Why he just let Grant waltz past him I’ll never know.

The game wasn't lost because of dabo , very narrow view of looking at an overall shite performance

Starting Hamer may have cost us that.

How the fuck can you give him a break after such an abject first half display?
Go and watch that first goal again and study Dabo's movement (hint, lack of movement)
He was shocking! Fadz should of twatted the c**t.

He was , but he was one of many tbh , there wasn't really anybody who came away today with a strong performance.

It's a pity because we played so much better second half. Hard to swallow a defeat at home which came down to a blatant hand ball that would never have stood in the premier league. Frustrating stuff.
We do need to find our spark though, and a couple of changes to team selection may be the answer. Some tired legs out there and not sure how much the camps illness had played a part in that.
Must get something next game to keep our season's top 6 hopes alive.

They let us play we were second best all over the pitch

Exactly. We were punching before having beaten all the naff at the bottom.

We are naturally dropping to a top 10/12 side.

Really thought we would get battered so not a bad result.
Some people really need to give their heads and wobble calm down.

Yeah, no other reason to do so. Am guessing Hyam onlycame on because we were quite so bad, and he'd rather not have used him at all.

I think he actually thought he might be playing him offside . Calamitous error of judgement .

Biggest issue at the moment is we just don’t look like scoring goals. The Bristol City anomaly aside we’ve been dreadful going forward vs 11 men since the Blackburn game.

Retrospectively, Sheaf's swing and a miss after 10 mins, at O'Hares 1 decent ball in the final third today was an important moment. Difficult but good chance and the game just went away from us after that. Would have resulted in a very different first half.
