One thing on the playing side, we have conceded 6 goals in our last two games. Bauer has sat on the bench in both of them. Prior to that, he scored away at Doncaster and played in that one, Bradford at home and MK Dons away where we picked up 5 points and only conceded 3 goals.
What the fuck is he doing out of the side?!
Robinson's a dick and he wouldn't see a good defender if it punched him in the face! Hmm
I am surprised Jackson did not take the penalty, he clearly has the most experience at it out of all our team, for those at the game was there any debate among the players who would be the taker?
Thought the first half was a pre season friendly, we were so slow in the build up and JFC couldnt stay in his feet when trying to play a pass. For me the first goal was down to Amos, Maddison dived yet again to gain the FK, it went deep and the shit beat him at his best post. He should of done better amdbwas already beaten at his near post when they him the post 5 mins before. The second half was just as bad from a performance perspective. We won the pen and if we equalise it's a different game! MM shows the players how to bury a pen five mins later. The changes after the second went in showers the shambles we are under, it should not take 3 or 4 minutes to bring the players on. The third was also down to Amos as he was beaten at his near post just like he was for the first. Season is over now. Bring in a set of players and a manager to build for next season!
Fat lady is in the wings warming up. Can't wait for this season to end...oh wait, that means we will be 'enjoying' yet another season in this God-awful league. Players have given up and I have given up. Will be going more out of habit than expectation now. Just don't understand those brave and hardy souls contemplating going to Blackpool (midweek too!) It's all I can do to summon up the energy to go to The Valley.
Just seen KR state on the OS that "their forwards were better than ours today!" FUCK ME Karl, any teams' forwards are better than ours!! Give me strength!
Ive been a big defender of KR but what’s happening is indefensible really. We do have at league one top six squad and we are underachieving big time. Lots going on at the club that make things harder for KR but the bottom line is we are bang average. Lets gets new owner and new manager asap.
I am surprised Jackson did not take the penalty, he clearly has the most experience at it out of all our team, for those at the game was there any debate among the players who would be the taker?
Not that I could see. I was expecting a debate or JJ to take command but I saw Josh with the ball & no-one complained. It looks like we don't have a dedicated penalty taker now that Holmes has gone (funny how the only other penalty we've had this season was at home v Posh - which Holmes scored) and maybe its whoever is fouled gets to take it - wouldn't surprise me given KR's shocking tactics.
As for the game. My first observation is the players should ditch the new style boots & get the old proper ones with studs in them. Lost count the number of times the midfield (JFC in particular) slipped over when receiving or passing the ball. Absolute shambles. No-one really came out of the game with any credit & my players marks won't be getting near Torvill & Dean's perfect 6's. Fosu is a shadow of his pre-injury self (funny how many time that has been said about our injury returning players this season) and Aribo tried hard but faded late on. Zyro looked decent & was unlucky not to get a shot away after some nest turns on the edge of their box as he was crudely taken out. That then leads me onto KR's mysterious substitution (part 6) - why take Magennis off to bring on Zyro - I thought the whole idea of trying to get back into the game was to go 2 up top, not do a straight swap. No worries, because less than 5 mins later he brings on Ajose (remember him ? the guy KR slated & said wouldn't play for the club again) to then play 2 up front. Perhaps KR should have turned to the player who saved us when we last played Peterborough...........but he was doing just that for Crawley - you couldn't make it up. As for the final sub, Reeves. I don't think it was a foal on him before their 3rd goal, I just think Reeves was a wus & pulled out of the tackle as he didn't want to get dirty & have had to have a shower later & thus ruin his hair. Funny how 2 of the players that KR brought in & lauded in the summer were on the bench today. Not that good then are they Mr Robinson. And while you're pondering that little nugget you might want to think about your "musings" after the game about how good Marriott is & what he could do in our team. Posh bought him last summer from Luton so perhaps you should have gone for him instead of buying the 2 twerps that you stuck on the bench today. NUMPTY.
Here’s to you Mr Robinson, now F..k off and take your geriatric Belgium mate with you
Missed this latest debacle, be there next Saturday, but at this rate how much longer can the club depend on the support of me and other far more long suffering supporters.
That was never going to work. What was Karl thinking? Jacko is not the answer other than the odd sub appearance. Sarr is not a leftback. Losing JDS and Kashi meant he had to completely change things if we were to have any chance of reaching the playoffs. Instead of bringing in Page and Dijksteel, he bottled it, leaving us without the legs in midfield or pace down the left side. Kaikai looked like he had put on 2 kilo's since the last game and his backside rivalled that of Jimmy Floyd. Fosu clearly wasn't match fit. Josh needs help, he has too much on his shoulders. I actually think he and Zyro could play together and be a real handful. Zyro looks like he's a very mobile and skilful player who could feed off Josh. What Karl had before has gone, Clarke, Kashi, JDS, Holmes, all gone. He needs to change his mindset and redesign the team with what's left, that's our only hope.
Sounded bloody awful, though I will dutifully go to the Scunny game as I'm in London for that one but shall expect disappointment.
It's always easy to blame the manager but there appears to be more and more reason to do so, both on the field with our predictable, one-dimensional play, and in the transfer market. Our squad is horribly unbalanced to the extent that Solly and DaSilva seem to have no suitable replacements, the striker situation is well documented, and now even defensive midfield seems to be an issue.
Solly's name seems to be printed on the team-sheet, whereas if Robinson had some balls, he could have quite easily dropped him for disciplinary reasons following the embarrassing video. Perhaps Kalkai needs disciplinary action as well, but I suppose simply being a Palace loanee who is a waste of space isn't exactly a disciplinary offence!
I haven't yet had the chance to compare notes with the Rotherham fan we have staying at the moment but after a home defeat to bottom-of-the-table Rochdale after, I believe, seven consecutive wins, he's probably more pissed off with yesterday's results than me! He was discussing the possibility of fourth place Rotherham playing fifth place Charlton in the play-offs yesterday morning. Let's just say I was less positive of this scenario than he was.
Last season we were just no good, whilst recovering from a disaster of a relegation season the year before and a badly handled summer.
This season those excuses are not there. This has been an underachievement of magnificent proportion and having been a defender of Robinson all season, I no longer feel I can continue with that defence.
Someone hacked your account AFKA only two games ago you had a pop at the flip floppers. Only lost 1 in 7 a last minute goal to oxford. Weve just lost to 2nd in the league and Peterborough away. 2 winnable games coming up at least give robbo to Saturday night.

17 points from the last 17 games says we are not good enough.

Not sure if this has already been posted..apologies if it has...Don't watch after we score its appalling.
Third goal the Posh player holding his hand up to acknowledge the foul, but the ref played on. Still, terrible defending and Amos let it go straight through him.

Who else was there? Fosu maybe but JJ won't take them now and J F-C doesn't seem to want to either.
Sorry.
Will need some serious work to gird those loins in readiness for Tuesday night.
For me the first goal was down to Amos, Maddison dived yet again to gain the FK, it went deep and the shit beat him at his best post. He should of done better amdbwas already beaten at his near post when they him the post 5 mins before.
