    One way traffic before they had a player sent off. Morgan MOM. The pass and movement from the players was exceptional. Euell was constantly telling the players to keep the ball moving forward. Robinson should have been there to see how it is done.

    why wasn't he ? Can't have been going up to Blackpool already ? Dereliction of duty.

    Might be time to give Euell a shot with the first team!

    Hopefully he was in Oxford.

    Is the Wed KSC game at Folkestone being streamed live and do I need to sign up to watch?

    Easy to say after a 6-1 win and youth football is (almost) a different ball game to first team....but how good would it be to have Euell in charge playing this brand of football, under new supportive owners.

    The day before a match you'd imagine there is preparation work to do. Haha he's shit or whatever but that doesn't mean working less hard to prepare for the next game. Dereliction of duty is laughably over the top.

    Disappointed that Dijksteel is playing to be honest, was hoping he would be involved tomorrow.

    This. We must have been able to send him out on loan in both windows. Fine in August we had the cup games but if he's not going to play, or if he's going to be the third choice right back and can't make the squad when we don't have a natural defensive midfeider, then what's the point?

    It feels like what Aribo went through at the start of the season. Aribo definitely has his flaws, and I've been critical both of his positional sense and of the fact that he drifts in and out of games, but when JFC got hurt he was given his chance. And at times he was bloody brilliant. Djiksteel may not be as good as Aribo, but if we're going to have promising youngsters as back ups in key positions (which I think is the right think to do with both Dijksteel and Aribo), then you have to play them.

  • Dunno @SDAddick... When we lost 3-1 @ Millwall last season, Robinson was doing work with SKY that morning!!

    Aribo's game is driving at players/space. He will learn to do other things but why play him unfamiliar no 10 when you chased Reeves for a year to do that job, then pick him out of position also?

    TBF Robinson, JJ and Bowyer seem to have been at a lot of home U23 games.

    They may well have traveled up to Blackpool by coach yesterday.

    You're the one who is ITK man, you should be telling us!

    I thought Konsa actually did a decent job in midfield today, much to my surprise. But why Dijksteel can't even make the 18 is beyond me. Why was Harry Lennon on the bench?

    I noticed Dijksteel's dad voted Robinson out in a poll on the Facebook group.
  • Robinson was at the game!

    With no Magennis in the squad next Saturday, I imagine there might be a place on the bench for one of our young strikers likes Umerah
  • With no Magennis in the squad next Saturday, I imagine there might be a place on the bench for one of our young strikers likes Umerah

    I imagine it will be a debut off bench for Hackett-Fairchild seeing as he is not playing here and we are unlikely to be winning at HT on Saturday.
