    There's a serious mentality issue with this side. The number of injury time goals conceded, awful performances in crunch games etc. Even tonight - the second half 'comeback' wasn't down to any sort of controlled display, we just went blood and guts for a bit. As soon as the players had to start thinking again, we went to sh*t.

    Piss poor, 10 mins aside.

    Thanks for the pyros and all that added time. Knobs! I know we should have seen it out, but that was rediculous

    I wish our defenders were as keen to block as you are.

    In all honesty we dont deserve playoffs.. too inconsistent and not enough quality to see the game out..
    Even if we by some miracle we make playoffs then no way we’ll beat any of our rivals

    Oh come on. Smallwood has been a poor Josh Wright this season. Not even Wright would have made that Sunday League challenge for their pen.

    Really disappointed by Smallwood this season.

    Headless chicken mode returns, we should have seen that one out easily but went gung ho. Its looking looking touch and go after that, out and out stupidity.

    There really is a mentality issue.

    I don't know what it is, exactly, but it's every single time we get near challenging for automatic promotion.

    Every. Bloody. Time.

    The worry is we get to Wembley and just throw in a cowardly performance like that, where the ball is just bouncing off everyone.

    We can forget playoffs. Simply not good enough when it's come to it. Lose important games all the time.

    Ironically, Halliday and Stubbs were horrendous today.

    I thought Stubbs had one of those speed limiters attached, stopping him from running.

    If we get there I'm glad I've made the decision to not go.

    Completely agree. Hughes has underwhelmed. Well backed and consistently unable to fix the clear issues we have. We're only in contention because of Cook having a brilliant season - he isn't provided great service and our attacking play generally is just poor.

    We’re just not good enough. Can’t see this team winning on Monday at all. We’ve been so hit and miss (mainly miss) since the Sutton game, that I can’t see us winning another game. Our midfield have never dominated any match this season, and with all the remaining games being tough, we don’t have the players with the bottle to see it through. Predictable, pedestrian, pathetic…

    I dont think they made our captain make a sunday league challenge in the box. We know this side has the ability to shoot themselves in the foot.
