It's well known we have a squad who are barely above average standard in this league. So what we need is energy, runners, commitment, fresh legs when struggling.

So what do we do when we're looking knackered? Make no subs and let their quality over take our tiring legs. Staggering game management
And when we're allowed to make 5 subs...

Listening to the same broken record every week. 2 poor goals and the masters of our own downfall yet again.

First time I've been worried about my blood pressure when they scored their second. Need to recalibrate and calm.

We’ve seen it happen this season more than once he is too cautious at times

Yeah, it’s difficult but in some of the ‘easier’ games we could definitely give it more of a go. We need tonow playing the teams around us in the next few.

Someone was trying to tell me on another thread (can’t remember who) that we don’t need to overhaul the defence because they only conceded 4 against Watford, Norwich, Brentford and Blackburn. I hope they’re watching this.

Players just aren't good enough to compete at this level, squad needs a overhaul if we stay up.

Disappointing that is. We’ve got to get decent points out of the next few games and hope Rotherham fuck up their games in hand. Still think we will be ok and I didn’t expect a result tonight to be honest anyway. But we were shit.

We're not going to stay up trying to not lose at home, the game has been there for us to go and try to win second half and we've just not done it.

We're sat mostly in our own half all of the time and the goal was inevitable.

I have to say I put a lot of this on Robins, we either want to win games or we don't
We've been doing this all season - he lacks bravery

Obviously has absolutely no faith in his substitutes. Most players were out on their feet begging for some fresh legs

Disappointing after taking the lead. Just slowly let them come back into the game and eventually control it. Bench wasn't strong but even so with a few minutes left and the way it's going, plus some players looking really tired, just try something to get back on level terms.

Hopefully will improve on Saturday.

Robins must the shittest manager in the world. If only he was aware they were tired and the way to win was to make changes. You lot are really depressing in your lack of understanding of the position we are in

Once again comical error has cost us.

Not making changes to at least counter them is a Joke. Yes we dont have a great bench. but we cant keep playing the same players and then wonder hwy they look tired.

No point trying to keep playing for draws and wondering why we lose.
