I don’t get the attitude that things are positive because of other teams results. We lost ourselves. That game was a perfect opportunity to get a point at least. 

Because realistically & a fact it could’ve been worse 🤷‍♂️

Sandwiched by a thrashing at Peterborough?

I'm as guilty as anyone, as SOON as you're watching out for other results as much as you're own you're  F KED......

 

We have a 20% chance of staying up...

On another day, could have won today BUT:

> Not enough quality 'generally' but especially in the final third.

> Loft didn't get himself in the game enough/at all.

Thought they were decent (when their first 11 was on) up top but crap at the back. Guthrie not bad but 2 donkeys either side. Did quite like Pinnock - a left footer at wing back.

Got to put this behind us 'psychologically' very quickly and try and maintain some belief. It's still on!

Not bothered about that game.

If we get a point then great but we will pick up 6 points out of the next 9 at least which will give us every chance of staying up.

A point at Peterborough would be the icing on the cake on what we are about to do by the time the full time whistle goes against Exeter

@Vtid @Nippy Naylor @Sam Kelly's Left Bootwould you like a charity bet on that that?

That was predictable. I knew at half time we’d end up without a goal. We have no midfield and keep doing the same tedious patterns of play. The only ray of light was that Uche looked decent and went for everything. That one on one with the keeper he had was all credit to his hard work.

Yes mate but we don't score enough goals that's why we're struggling at the wrong end of the table unfortunately

Defence is just as bad. Think we’ve concended the second most in the league. Always difficult to get results if letting goals in for fun but like ya say we don’t score enough either. Not a good recipe

It’s a one game season mentality. Throw this game away now. Couple of corrections for DM to think about on the first goal for them but other than that move on to Wigan now. Win that and it’s a different conversation again.

With only 6 games left we have to win all our remaining home games & I feel nick a point at either Wigan, posh or Bolton. Not easy tasks at all those away fixtures but Wigan prob the most realistic

I hope he's telling them to stop passing the bloody ball back when we're in good positions and to get more shots off that would be really helpful, in my opinion 🤨👍

All we can do mate, can’t change today now. If it’s not enough then so be it but it’s the only way we can get ourselves out of it.
