Kane's been pretty rubbish when he's had his chances too, tbf.

I'm not usually a fan of signing older players, or big lumps, but we do actually need an older big lump there to guide the others through a bit.

I'm hoping he said they were awful and he put a team out that should have won the game , which it should have

One that can head it and kick it who is a leader and can get into the refs ear.

We are so weak one of the best times we had was when Denis Wise was helping referee the games.

Yes, but I understand why Robins didn't. He was trying to rest the key players best he could. Our squad is too small.

Robins talking well after the game!

He’s the best manager we could have I just think he should have made changes at half time

He still my king

Fact is that game didn't tell us anything we didn't already know about our squad. We already knew the where weaknesses and strengths are.
You could play that game 20 times and we'd win 19.
We're out of the FACup at the first hurdle. I won't lose a seconds sleep over that, as far as I'm concerned it pales into insignificance compared to say, dropping 2 points against Swansea or failing to beat Bristol C and Cardiff.

Well, at least it was an exciting watch. If they've been working on defending long throws in training, it clearly didn't pay off!

I don't know what's happened to Dabo or Moore, they both seem to have gone backwards massively.

Might just be me, but I'm not going to get hugely upset about it. Wrexham can have their day in the sun, I guess they deserve it.

I tend to agree. Daba does look unfit. We have been here before with him though haven't we? He comes back from injury and looks unfit and awful and then usually gets steadily better as the games have worn on.

All I can say is we don't see what goes on behind the scenes or in training, so there is a a degree of assumption. How do we know that Burroughs hasn't been carrying a knock too? Often managers keep these things quiet.

I don't know. I would have played Burroughs there myself, but have great trust in Robins and he's done alright for us so far in his tenure hasn't he.

He is still young. But I agree, I have not seen anything to suggest he has the makings of a Championship player. However he needs to be starting if he is to improve and needs a loan to do that.

He assisted the first goal but then he shot right at the keeper. Can’t be that hard to put it anywhere but there?!? But yes, Waghorn’s had it.

Wonder who he’s talking about. Moore and Waghorn are the obvious shouts I think but I’m struggling to imagine Moore would have the confidence to ask for a game to be honest. Maybe Kelly but that seems harsh when he’s coming back from injury.

After 5 or 10 minutes against Cardiff Dabo couldn't run to track his man. This goes beyond form, something isn't right and he shouldn't be playing.

He was definitely saying Gyokeres was tired. He had also some game time for Sweden too hasn't he.

Or a permanent move, get his chance to develop a bit at a level more suited to him, see if he can learn things like where to position himself if he's a centre forward.

I wouldn't be surprised if the arsenal lad was first choice and Burroughs was second choice RWB from this point on ..

And yes I'm starting to agree that maybe dabo has had his best years here , and Robins will likely look to shift kane and dabo in the next few months

I suppose trying to find a positive at least these players were tried in this game and not a league game

The problem we have is there's so little depth in the squad that unless we go mad and sign about 10 players in the window which obviously isn't going to happen we're only an injury or two from these players being our only option

He should also look at himself. His weaknesses aren't improving and whilst he is entitled to hang the players out to dry in the post match interview, he needs to do the right thing and accept responsibility. His arrogance on this is frustrating, especially after a result like that.

Not sure it would have been preferable to get the draw for a further game of potential embarrassed.
Hamer should have come on with Vik ,odd.

What worries me is that in about 3 weeks we need

The takeover to be agreed
It not to be an utter farce
Proper funds available
Actually get the (quality)players required

Clocks ticking
