Back to the bad old days by the look of it, 1-0 up and then let the oppo have the ball whenever they want, you don't win anything that way

Absolutely pony, the worst home performance I have seen this season. Hard to single out anyone as they were all so poor

What the hell was that? I'm fuming -that second half was the worst I've seen for some time. Coming on top of the debacle at Notts C some serious questions need to be asked of DD. Only slight positive was Cox' energy in the first half. Otherwise, sorry, but complete *beep*.

Got what we deserved really. Far too many players below par.

Having got our noses in front we played far too deep and eventually paid the price.

Personally I thought we were outplayed in midfield, Smith was OK but Cox, Payne and Roberts just didn't do enough. Enzio another average game and we lacked any sort of spark.

Probably best summarised by Drummy bringing on Billy Clifford in the 7th of 8 mins injury time. Totally pointless.

We are entering a period, largely due to our own ineptitude, where other teams' results are just as relevant as our own.
We are peeking over our own shoulder; I just hope we don't have to glare
DD implied that Notts County was a blip... really?
Today was so poor he needs to abandon the nice uncle routine and tear that bunch in red a new bottom hole

We just didn't turn up today, poor performances all round.

After being handed the initiative with a penalty putting us 1-0 up at HT we did what we've been doing the last few years and gave the initiative back to the opposition after going ahead and just sat back and offered nothing in the second half.

A performance typical of the last few years, it was predictably poor again in the second half.

Frustrating to watch.
