Inexcusable for someone to be able to score unmarked from 6 yards

Need couple of changes at half-time and up the tempo we’ve had a few openings but you have to hit the target , I’ll criticise players but this criticism of the goalkeeper for either goal is just ridiculous, score West Brom will wobble

It’s just a baffling watch at the moment. We look like we do zero opposition analysis.

Not sure I'm convinced that our apparently totally incompetent recruitment team have someone found two of the lowest coast loans going who also happen to be players so good they'd walk into the first team and guarantee us promotion.

That is just shite defending - indefensibly poor at any level of football.

All half our set up out of our possession has been strange. A flat 4 sitting in front of flat back 5. At least 5 yards too deep, no pressure on the ball despite numbers, with too much space for them to play around us. Combined with some poor passing

MR has got to change the shape and get some legs and energy into this or otherwise it’s going to get even more embarrassing. Defensively shocking and over run in the middle of the park. Both Eccles and Torp have been off it. Only KP has come out of that with any credit imo.

I say Kitching for Binks, Bidwell for JDS and go with our strongest 4 at the back.

Tavares for Lati to add some pace and we revert to 4231. Torp and Eccles behind Tavares/COH/Palmer, behind Simms.

We have to score the next goal otherwise goodnight Vienna.

We lose/are losing: everyone picks on their least favourite player.

On that note: Thomas has been shit.

Did we have 2 feasible loans lined up? I'd rather not take a punt for the sake of depth, just look at Maguire and Ayari, both a waste of money

You lot have bi polar

mid table would be brilliant this season
Why aren’t we solidly in the top 6

We’ve lots of players out injured
We should have strengthened in January
Why aren’t we playing better and winning at West Brom

robins is the best manager we’ve had for decades
Why does he keep changing formation?

Accept we’re top 10
Without our top players on form we will not go away to a team like West Brom and win
Stop being so binary and bi polar

We've learnt tonight that 3 at the back doesn't work. We're so close as a squad, but missing depth in key positions. It's a shame because we had an opportunity, but Sheaf/Sakamoto/Wright injuries fucked us. The future is bright, we need the correct replacement for O'hare, and there should be no excuse for Robins to be pissin about with formation next season.

Not liking the “in the knows” dissing Simms. It‘s unfair. it must sicken them when Simms scores.

I think a lot of it is that he's just not physically up to it, he's small and slow, he looks like he's carrying more weight than he needs to

At least the missus is currently making a large pork pie from scratch for my birthday.
She just informed me she's ruined the crust so has to go out for a quick shop.
I can provide other updates if anyone's more interested in that than this game.

Then you’ll have you’ll remember not fully fit players on the bench from such hit as Victor Torp a few weeks ago and almost every player on the bench for half of last season.

Which is more likely? Robins has just randomly had a stroke and dropped half the side for no reason, or there’s illness going through the camp as reported.

Describing DaSilva as a “disaster” signing is a bit of a stretch. He’s made some high profile mistakes in recent games. Unsure as to whether Bidwell would have stopped that cross.




Palmers had a decent enough half.

He is a disaster, he's had a 4 year contract. It's like the modern David Bell

Long and short of it.

Does seem to be the script when we play with a 3 at the back. The second goal should not happen with 3 CB in the box.
