Some Crumbs for the Robins

Our usual come from behind strategy clicks in once again

We are deservedly 1 goal down

Your stream is about 2 minutes ahead of mine.

Manning has to come on at half time … we have nothing going on left side

 

[CroJack]

So, it's going to be a repeat of the Burnley game.

Nigel Pearson said in his pre-match interview they were going to press us high and counter-attack. And Martin? He did nothing to counter that.

[Yankee_Jack]

We can’t even take a throw in properly

 

[CroJack]

Awful first half. No energy, no fight, disjointed, sloppy, no technique...nothing. You can't win a football game by walking and jogging.

 

[ivoralljack]

We huffed and we sort of puffed and got absolutely fcuking nowhere. To get past this packed defence we need to move the ball quicker, move our bodies quicker and get more of those bodies in the box. A metaphorical kick up the arse is urgently needed.

 

[KVetch]

This is why I think they can't win a playoff final. If the opposing manager presses we have no answer. Let's see what Martin does now.

 

[Yankee_Jack]

Too dire a performance to comment on. Toothless going forward. No movement off the ball, and our thinking is a day late.

Darling is a sledge of a CB in the crunch, much too slow for the Prem, barely adequate for this league ... he makes Monk look fast.

Sorinola doesn't understand what a touchline is for as a winger. He plays much too narrow and is ineffective. Every pass he gets he turns back towards his own goal instead of at least attempting to fool their defender into thinking that he's a threat. Please get Manning on at half time.

Grimes is just strolling ... dude, break into a jog once in a while.

Benda ... thankfully he's goal or this game would be over.

You forgot to mention Cabago who was absolutely awful in the first half. Wood as well.

Like the team I ran out of gas.

Manning coming on for second half

 

[Yankee_Jack]

For Darling and Cabango to be effective defenders going forward, they have to use their head to do what their legs can't. They have to be a step ahead mentally and translate that into a stride ahead physically.

 

[CroJack]

Manning coming on for second half

Not enough.

 

[CroJack]

We need at least 3 subs now.

 

[CroJack]

Lati on the left and Cabango on the right of the back three. Sorinola in the right WB position.

 

[Yankee_Jack]

Was Wood injured. This shuffle makes no sense.

also they’ve got Cundle wandering all over the field

 

[CroJack]

I am watching Bristol TV and their com says "Pearson is probably happy watching Swansea passing the ball backwards all the time".

 

[Yankee_Jack]

Lati and Manning are not working well at all together
