What a save by Robinson

[Ian.]

Robinson you fucker

[paul_e]

Herd was shattered because he's been doing petrov's running for 25minutes, bringing on 2 central midfielders but neither of them replacing a guy who struggles to last 90 at best and is coming back from an injury is ridiculous, guess being captain makes you untouchable.

Gabby should've scored there, really bad miss.

[Astral Weeks]

Bloody hell, you have to say Robinson has made 3 top saves in this game. Gabby should probably have done better though.

[Olneythelonely]

Albrighton is so average. I think that's being kind too.

[Rigadon]

FFS.  Such a shame to see Albrighton look so ordinary. 

[Toronto Villa]

Our confidence is more fragile than a china vase. Part of that is the manager's fault, part of that is down to the players. We don't have strong personalities at the club, and when the going gets tough there is nobody to get them to refocus again out on the pitch. If McLeish is to stand any chance he must find character players. This second half isn't surprising because we haven't won many, we've probably let more leads slip than any other team and the cycle keeps repeating. We need to hang on here but I now fear the worst.

[Fergal]

Apart from the 9 in 13 that kept us up last season.

Depends if you hold the simplistic view that goals + doing nothing > fewer goals + doing everything.

Pssst....goals win football matches.

Yea, that useless bastard Messi.  Apart from scoring 40 odd goals already this season he has done fuck all...

[ozzjim]

Unlucky from Gabby.

Or heading the ball off his shoulder and straight at the keeper? Was good movement and a good save though.

And the argument that Bent does nothing has been proven wrong many times on other threads, and is a complete and utter myth that is conveniently pedaled

[Fergal]

Wonder who will come on for Stan?

[Villanation]

Great save by Robinson there, Sure gabby was being pulled over then

[olaftab]

Albrighton is not a clever player

[Fergal]

I will be stunned if we win this.

[SashasGrandad]

Wonder who will come on for Stan?

Heskey for his hat trick

[Smoke]

Wasted on the left, he has a magic right foot.
