No, the reaction is to an appalling performance. Shodipo was right off the game. The defence were caught out on the left again and again. We conceded two goals, again. Tackling, passing and movement off the ball was poor. That is embarrassing.
To be fair, Mr Egg was particularly referring to the description of a player who has scored two winning goals (in only 3 wins so far) as the "qpr turd" - I make his view of that bang on and I certainly don't always agree with him by any means
 
Shockingly awful. Nobody played at league 1 level. Last Tuesdays team looked better.
Unfair to single out players for criticism as they all fell short of their abilities and the expectation of how they play together.
KR must sort out the back line as a matter of urgency.
 
You do know he's on a 4 year contract, which yellowsforum were almost universally delighted about, right?
Yes he is on a 4 year contract and it’s now time for Tiger to cut his losses and pay up KR’s contract. He’s played the same way all season and teams know and take the puss out of us
 
Just staying up is my hope for this season. Had to be a formation change and not like for like....Agyei not getting a look in , Clare at Right back , Henry a shadow , Winnel just sad , Easty like a log for the 1st. Mous has to play centre back to organise this side now. Long right back ... .midfield I have no idea after this performance....Jeez
 
It all goes back to not replacing Dickie and KR sticking with Clare. Defence is a complete mess. We looked better midweek with the youth team at the back. Lucky to only lose by 2 tonight.
 
We look like a team of complete strangers, no momentum or continuity of play. And that is due to the stop start of our Covid season. It would be better to have a full 2 weeks off with a proper Covid case than what we have had with every other game cancelled spoiling any continuity we could have. And for a team that has been notoriously slow starters for the last 2 years having to keep starting again is proving impossible. Crewe really stretched the rules to cancel the game twice until they were ready to play and in form. Ok they are really a bunch of absolute cheats and if the EFL had anything about them they will get a 5 point deduction. And swindon. We are too honest, in the game and out of the game. We should have taught Crewe a lesson tonight and got them to the ground and then found a way to cancel the game as we really had no chance of winning tonight. We need to start doing things to our advantage and stop accepting other teams crying off from a match when their third reserve player is ill and their under 18 coach has Covid, accepting rubbish changing room facilities at away games when we keep giving our opponents the best on offer, tonight Crewe not coming onto the pitch until after the scheduled kick off time we needed to protest far more, we need to kick up far more of a fuss when our players get fouled or we are appealing for a penalty. We just need to make sure we don't get relegated from here. If you can't win cheat is what everyone else seems to be doing and it is definitely working for them and we are very slow on the uptake.
 
I know Tiger watched this crap so what must he be thinking having given Karl 4 years to pay off.
He just gave him a four year contract when he already had two years left - his third contract in 2.5 years. He’s got the safest job in the division, and what anybody thinks of the suggestion is irrelevant in that regard.
 
Probably time for Elechi to start on Saturday at Wigan, which is now becoming a mighty big game.

Atkinson and/or Mousinho in from the start to allow Long to right back.

The rest...a breather for Henry, Cooper and Agyei in the mix somewhere and 90 minutes for Sykes.
 
The recruitment has been shambolic since Robinson has been here, ok last seasons wasn’t to bad but still had to wait until January for the recruitment to look decent. The problem with Robinson and his recruitment he says what he wants and we know who he’s looking at but it’s getting closer to the deadline and we end up losing out and end up with the 3rd or 4th choice because our 2nd choices have been snapped up by other teams. CLARE 🤣🤣🤣 a RB? He lost out by going for a player O’Donnell last season and didn’t want to come went for him this season and still didn’t want to come so we end up with a non RB playing RB. FFS you couldn’t make this up......
 
I've been saying for 2 years I'm far from a fan of robinson but even I can see this isn't his fault
 
We just have to hope that there are enough teams even worse than us.

You don’t have to be that good to stay up thankfully, the Clotet/Faz/Robinson season we had a shite team and managed it so that should give us some hope.

On the other hand we don’t appear to be a team that can scrape points, not with our defence, we don’t get a battling point away etc, we are not a team built for a survival battle but to out football teams, just that plan has gone badly.
