[Rufus Smalls]

Robinson doing his best to get sent off

He never learns, never been a leader by example.

 

[RetfordBlade96]

Soumare looks decent but off the pace

 

[gooseh]

Should have put that one away

 

[The Crab]

As before, bring back Wilder mk 3.5

Yep that’ll fix everything bringing him back.

 

[Karlos]

Robinson should be off. Repeatedly telling the lino to f..k off should be a straight red.

 

[RetfordBlade96]

what was that marking!

 

[Iffy Onuora's Shiny Head]

I know this is a semi reserve team but this is awful. The press isn't working. The passing is utterly dreadful. Chasing shadows all over the pitch.

 

[Sydney Blade]

Hwre we go, brum player kicks ball out in front of lino, throw in to brum

Yes, very strange. She almost looked offended unaki appealed and gave it the other way in punishment. Very odd.

 

[SB_90]

for once im with jack Robinson. the fact that was a booking is laughable. being the kid of referee must be a breeze. there so gullible they would fall for anything

cant go to school im ill, - alright

It’s the close control. Technically they all look league 2 level. Somare only one with any pride so far.

 

[straight_outta_compton]

Sell Robinson as soon as we get an offer...any offer!!!

 

[Maryland_blade]

Marsh has looked decent at least

 

[fifty shades of blade]

McCallum is max lowe levels of shitness

 

[Northernsoulblade]

Cannon looks miles off it as per

 

[Greenwich Blade]

I'm not a bedwetter, but this is wank.

 

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

I'm still glad we let Birmingham sign Doyle btw

I'm sure we'll get somebody better

Yes, but repeatedly shouting “f off” in the linesman’s face after being booked isn’t top of the list of “mature leadership actions I like to see from my captain”. Couple more and I suspect a flag may have been raised, leading to early bath.

 

[fifty shades of blade]

Marsh has looked decent at least

Not seen him do much yet

 

[Frank the tank]

Timid

 

[straight_outta_compton]

Adam Davies gives me nightmares ever time the ball goes into the box

 

[SLB]

I know this is a semi reserve team but this is awful. The press isn't working. The passing is utterly dreadful. Chasing shadows all over the pitch.

And being bullied all over the pitch.

 

[paidsy]

I'm still glad we let Birmingham sign Doyle btw

I'm sure we'll get somebody better

We don't have those sorts of funds

 

[originaltrueblade]

Robinson should be off. Repeatedly telling the lino to f..k off should be a straight red.

Yep he needs to cool it ….id hold him to his contract make him knuckle down

 

[Harry's Game]

Cannon is “Sloth in the box” style forward

 

[jt64]

Taken 18/1 Robbo red, seems value on reading the thread

 

[fifty shades of blade]

Soumare holding doyle off like he's a little boy

 

[RetfordBlade96]

Soumare is a positive

 

[originaltrueblade]

Cannon just looking at ball what a waste of money didn’t chase after it

 

[vas borbokis]

How much has this ref been paid for tonight by BFC. Every decision!

 

[SUFCinks]

The difference in quality between these teams is disturbing. I know we’ve made a LOT of changes but they have also made a few and look a hell of a lot better.
