Post match WBA v FFC thoughts. - Not Good Enough!

With Kebano out,I'd bring Tete in at full back and play Neco further up.

So would I.

My abiding memory of this game is the number of times that the ball came off the back of Robinson's head and into touch leading to those interminable long throw-ins.He just seems incapable of judging the flight of a ball above waist height.

Reed/Chalobah is just bad. Chalobah had a horrid game on-ball and Reed shouldn't be playing as an 8. I don't understand why we persist that way.

Overall, we were incredibly sloppy and slow to 50-50 balls. Just a really bad performance and I think Marco has to look at himself tonight. Players get the blame, but the lack of rotation and questionable midfield setup made us very much second-best. I didn't even think WBA was very good. They just tried much harder than we did.

Also, if you want to play BDR, why not swap him and Fabio for a bit? Bobby seems to play better centrally and Fab/Robinson may work better. In general, it looks like our last two opponents overplayed to our right to limit Wilson/Neco because they didn't think Robinson/BDR could hurt them. And they were correct.

He brought Chalobah to the club, so a pet project, persist even if it doesn't work. A bit like Parker and Omonah.

Whoever plays LB for the u23's needs to be given a chance

Marco's body language, refusal to rotate and lack of a creative response is a concern for when we get promoted...

Ream a rock with eight stitches - if WBA converted all their chances it could have been another Coventry

Still the Cherries could only draw 049:gif

Looked very very tired.
This break is much needed

I'm not blaming him for the defeat by any means, but I really, really can't comprehend Robinson's selection. Doesn't read the game, can't pass the ball, can't cross the ball. It's bizarre.

He has a odd running style (gait I think they call it) and he never looks comfortable with the ball, especially when in full stride. He looked some player in the first few months when he joined but after that red card against Chelsea he has slowly declined. His passing and crossing ability leave a lot to be desired too, think he would benefit from a rest. Just wish we had a better LB option then Bryan, I wonder what this Larkeche is like? I would imagine this will be a position that TK and Marco will want to upgrade on next season.

Whenever Robinson is praised it seems to be because of his speed  of recovery (although it did not get Ream out of trouble in the first half when Rodak had to save the day)
There is plenty of ability in his forward running- the problem comes when he has to take the ball with him because he is so one-legged. If he goes to the right he quickly loses control of the ball and if goes to his good side then he finds himself in the way of Kebano who is forced inside.I feel that as  result we do not get the very best output from our winger.Surely Neco who is fairly two footed should play LB in preference to Tete.
