    Yes we went down a man but that is no excuse for two own goals and horrific defending. All of the players can feck with their defending tbh.

    Pitiful loss.

    Guess we better hope Vale and Walsall fall flat on their asses today but I doubt it.

    Lack of discipline all over the pitch today and in the dugout. Too many have been more concerned with wanting to argue or have a fight than get on with the match.

    Only one person to blame for today and IMO its not Alexander, we were cruising time Smallwood lost his head.

    Shepherd deserved it for taking a dive like a little pussy.

    And let's be honest, the only reason we scored 3 is because of their own ragged defending from long throws.

    If we'd tried to demonstrate the perfect way of sh*tting the bed in a promotion race, you'd hang this performance in the Louvre

    Those changes should have been made with 89 minutes on the clock to kill time.

    Alexander brings on mellon and wright with 20 secs left. Lol.

    should have done it sooner, when the lads were tired

    Smallwood is absolutely going to get rightly slaughtered for that reckless tackle but the managerial response from half time was baffling.

    We were playing them off the park, for a senior professional it was a very silly tackle although he won the ball he was not in control.

    We got hammered the moment Smallwood went off. We were terrible with 10 men. Most decent teams can put up a performance when it's 10 v 11 but we were hopeless. Strange how we always seem to find it difficult to play against 10.

    Conceding so many goals eats away at the GD too

    50 odd minutes in and clearing our lines like it is injury time.

    We seemed satisfied with a point. Its such a weak mentality. Smallwood, Alexander and the CBs should be ashamed of themselves.
