Decent performance but we should have scored at least 2 or 3 with the chances we created - poor finishing let us down again! Hammill needs to work on his end product but overall thought he was great. Kozluk did well and put a couple of decent crosses in that no one attacked - looked sluggish at times tho? Bogga was great throughout. Halfredsson seemed off his game to me and gave the ball away easily Unsure how Moore got the CK Beckett man of the match altho he threw himself at everything as usual Deserved Red Card for Neville Poor vocal support from Tarn fans caused by the amount of part timers that showed up, I hardly recognised any regulars around us and the woman in front of me taking photos of Man Utd players all game wound me up no end. Man Utd fans are scum and the two dickwads who ran on the pitch made us look stupid yet again. There seemed to be loads of young uns hanging around last night in Sergio Tachinni tracky tops, obviously taking mis-guided inspiration from a recent film. Wish they would all crawl back into hole from whence they came. Overall, decent performance altho I thought we stood off them a bit a times. It was also an enjoyable night spoiled by a few idiots as per usual. Roll on Saturday - can't wait to get down Peterboro and get back to the real stuff with the 'real' fans!
Thought Kozzie and Halfredsson played really well. Hammill will be some player when he grows up a bit.
Agree with everything apart from... the Halfredsson bit. I thought he played really well. He looked composed on the ball and won back posession on a number of occasions. I was really proud of them all last night. Full of optimism once again for the rest of the season. Come on You Reds!
Adam Hammill will pay for our new west stand 3 to 4 million pound player in the making he is! Just scares the opposition to death whenever he's got the ball.
Foster - two free headers over the bar He looks tired and completely out of form. We're conceding soft goals again. Time for a rest for him imho.
RE: Only problem is... Doyle - cant get a game Slovenian - didnt get a game Gray - sometimes gets a game Dickinson - very game Meanwhile, we're leaking goals. Still. Robins for England.
Darren Moore Was ***** last night, clearly at fault for the 2nd yet got MOM - laughable. You can not give Moore stick on the BBS now though, it's all got to get shifted over to Foster who hardly put a foot wrong.....
So what are you saying? Get over it. Davey has gone. He was toss. Dickinson has been okay, very committed and gets forward. Sometimes makes mistakes. I see you conveniently omit to mention Shotton. Would we have signed him on loan under simple? I doubt it. Robins has done what he can in the constraints of the transfer window to address our weakest areas. The full backs he was left with were not up to it as it stood and we need fullbacks who can get forward. Both are better than Kozluk and Hassell IMHO. Also, he shipped KO out after seeing him play for less than 60 minutes. Davey would probably have given him a new deal. I know it hurts you that MR is being given time and patience from fans who would not give Davey the same, but SD FAILED to move the club forward in three years. He propogated the MYTH that survival is the best we can hope for, and in doing so removed all traces of what is possible with the right attitude and skill, coupled with astutueness in the transfer market. If MR ever says the same I 'll be amazed and dissapointed. MR deserves the chance to build his side along his way, just as SD did. I just hope that MR gets the chance to blast £4m.....It is a real shame we allowed the summer to be wasted. I just don't know what you want....did you want a bigger name manager or did you want to keep him in a job?
Im saying quite simply, Robins hasnt been the overwhelming success that people are making out. Davey had to go, no doubt about it, given our start to the season. But he wasnt toss. You know it. His track record remains the benchmark ie he kept us in this division 3 times. Robins has done nowt, yet. FACT. We've looked ordinary in the last few games. Honeymoon period over?
I just don't know what you want him to do... seeing as we allowed the summer to be wasted by not getting shot of Davey then, when it would have made more sense. We will never agree on Davey, that much us clear. But Robins has managed to get about 8 performances largely from the bulk of players SD left him with, most of which are not capable of playing at the required level on a regular basis. He has picked up 10 points in the league, including three against relegation rivals Ipswich, where under Davey we would have been settling for a point. January is key for Robins are where we finish as is getting there in touch with the teams around us. But in terms of belief we will stay up and a positive feeling that was not there under Davey, it is unquestionable what Robins has done in my opinion. He kept us up in his first part season then failed to move us forward at all and created a veil of ******** to hide this fact.
Well i wouldn't say he's done nowt We are creating more chances under Robins than we were under Davey, abeit we're still not taking them. He's got us winning games, and he's got the players playing for us. Before robins took over i wasn't too keen of Anderson, Colace, Hammill looked a little average, Macken has improved, and he's brought in 2 very decent full backs in Dickinson and Shotton albeit only on loan. The squad looks a lot stronger now than it did under Davey. What did you expect him to have achieved by now, a play-off place???
I'll give you another leaving De Silva on the bench for 3 games. Effigies of Davey wouldve been burnt if he'd have done that. His substitutions last night we're all like for like, against ten men - shouldnt we have been a bit more adventerous? In the cold light of day, Robins still has a lot to prove and a lot to do to keep us up.
What did he have to be Adventurous with? No spare forrard in the club for last night. Butterfield was a reasonably attacking change. Anderson has been on the bench because he was **** at Watford and did not put the effort in. Rather than just leave him in and hope for the best, Robins has done summat about it. Of course he has, the majority of what he is saddled with are not that good.
I want him to keep us up and we're one defeat away from dropping back into the bottom three. But to read some on here, you would think we were in the playoffs. Im not greedy. I didnt expect us to beat Man United at home. We did well to get to the 4th round. Clubs like ours hardly ever get to Wembley, remember.
He's got another 6 months to keep us in this division, and from what he has done so far, we'll piss it if im honest.
