ex_midlandwhite Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 Wigan really did us over by stealing Robinson. Especially annoying as he'd improved so much over the season with us last year. Until we get a defence with some pace in we won't be able to play decent football as the gap between either defence and midfield or midfield and attack is too big. Look at the high line Blackburn were able to hold by comparison, nullifying Ozthumer in the process. Still, we're improving since last year, still compete and have some more quality. Williams is a good player at this level too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well in, week out we are getting done by these twats We are not good enough to beat another team and the officials It was offside, if Doidge wasn't offside the defender wouldn't need to challenge him. Didn't lose because of the officials today and I don't think we do week in, week out either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevieb Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 (edited) Bad do that. Really thought we'd have got a goal. Kick in the nads getting the pen overturned but it was offside.  Oztumer is too one footed and a dwarf. Too many times we got a cross in the box and it was to the oompa loompah rather than the 6ft macgennis. Hobbs (or whoever the centre back is) looked alright today. Grounds is wank. Stop picking him please!   Edited October 6, 2018 by stevieb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frank_spencer Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 Far more frustrating losing today than when we are shite. It's the hope that kills you. Plus it's Bastard Rovers too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robinson can’t defend to save his life, Wigan welcome to him.  Despite me being critical of Grounds he’s not fully wound up yet so might be more to come from him. Edited October 6, 2018 by Mounts Kipper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter Biggish Dave Posted October 6, 2018 Site Supporter Share Posted October 6, 2018 In fairness so do I. I know Bum fans who think he’s decent. He needs to improve by 25% before I see that. We’ve not had a decent l.b since Burke though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robinson won't get close to his levels but is much better than Taylor and Grounds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marple whites Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 We were poor throughout and they didn't need to do much to beat us. Â Grounds was shit for goal and should have fouled them early on. Â Few huffs and puffs first half, but next to nothing second half. agree they weren't great, but didn't need to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter Biggish Dave Posted October 6, 2018 Site Supporter Share Posted October 6, 2018 When did we last have a decent L.B apart from Candela. Whitlow or Burke maybe? Been ages Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
worthy10 Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 There is a slow dawning realisation that we will seriously struggle again. We have had a few surprising result, but each week it stares us in the face. If we had Sack tonight, we win. All too often we will be wishing we had opposition players and that isn't sustainable.

Only relative to the division but I honestly thought Burke was better for the cause. That said, it’s like saying John Thomas was better to the cause than Owen Coyle.
