???? Meltdown. Nah not really.
Monday vs Yeovil at home was meltdown.
This was a tight game at a very tough place to go but(should have held on for a Draw) they didn’t deserve to win.
Draw would have been fair result. We had lions share of possession, couple of huge scrambles in their box.
We will play them again home and away (in the play offs) and nothing to fear really.
Huge positives. Cannot believe Mansfield Horrer run continues at home vs Crewe. That would be meltdown.
Swindon mess it up at home too. Huge positive we are still in play offs! With the a tough away game out the way.
Great to see JP get off the mark. First of many which will be an illustrious career.
Looking forward to to the remaining games.

Think you misunderstood.
Meltdown from fans, not the team. How we always meltdown after a defeat on here.

I forecast another 7 game unbeaten run followed by a 4-0 defeat.
Then we'll see a REAL meltdown

No we didn't deserve to lose today, not at all. But...... We didn't deserve to win either.

There was a 50/50 split at the end of the game from those there , I was in the camp that clapped off players at the end of game. Really disappointing. But hey still in play offs.
If we had not been in play off zone and Mansfield and Swindon won at home as expected, then I’d be gutted.

They can both overtake us on Tuesday. Let's hope they don't.

You’re spot on, we weren’t good today, but they were awful and lucky to win. We would beat them in play-offs. As I said, we didn’t play well, but I saw enough to make me confidant that we will reach the play-offs.

I can’t agree Cavan, Notts were awful, and although we weren’t great, I think we did deserve a draw, probably didn’t do enough to win.

Close - could be draw win win win win. Next week won’t be easy, I do think we will beat Lincoln at home.

Both were awful, but they were more clinical at the end of the day. How many corners did we have and we couldn’t capitalise, but they only had 2 or 3 and made the most of it. Defensive frailties will be the undoing of us, which is ironic considering how good they were at the start of the season.

I didn't think the players played that badly today especially considering Robins stripped the team of any creativity whatsoever by reverting back to 4 central midfielders across the midfield. Thought we were good enough for a point with the limitations imposed upon us by our tactics.
Such negativity though all season, especially away from home - 5 first half goals from 21 away first halves is the reason we are clinging on to the playoffs. You cannot keep trying to win games in the 2nd half at this level, there are just too many individual mistakes to see games out regularly. What really frustrates me though, is not the result, or individual mistakes but the failure of the management team to learn any lessons during the season - Robins is bemoaning individual errors but regularly sends us out to get a draw or nick a result by an odd goal away from home while failing to address our awful basics - corners, throw ins and kick offs are all woeful.

5 first half goals from 21 away first halves is a damning statistic. Robins is far too negative, particularly away from home. Kelly and Doyle in central midfield just doesn't work for me, yet Robins persists with this 'horses for courses' selection. This is Division 4 for God's sake, if Robins thinks the back four need the protection of both Kelly and Doyle then I suggest he looks again at his back four. Bayliss is not a wide player and I'm not convinced Shipley is either. How many times have you Bayliss and Shipley get to the goal line and cut the back ball back for oncoming strikers? Not often. Not convinced with Robins at the moment to be honest.

An appearance from Kyle Reid for 20 minutes or so would have done.

Hmm we definitely did not batter them, we definitely did not deserve to win, we were pretty poor showed no composure and unlike Luton away and perhaps most disappointingly for me we showed nowhere near the level of pace/pressing & intensity of that game which given how important game could have been was the most criminal thing in my eyes.......we lacked bit and batlle compared to that game where granted we rode our luck and 3-0 flattered us but we deserved the win.
However all that being said I do not think they were that good at all either and a draw really would have been the fairest result.
I do not think flare and pitch invasion helped the players to focus after the equaliser and was a ludicros over-celebration!
In a way you could say we got what we deserved because of that.

If we fail to make the play offs this year there will be an awful lot of gnashing of teeth when we look back at the many games we've dropped points, in which a more positive approach may have proven more fruitful. This is an awful league and trying not to lose our way out of it hasn't sat well with me all season. I'd definitely give Robins a second season however we end up now but hope for a frank reassessment in the summer should we lose out on promotion. This season has seen plenty of positives but I feel our tactical set up is that of a manager who is used to being at the lower end of a higher league table.

It's fair to say that we would have faired better with Andreu and Jones in the side. Despite these 2 better players being out for the season, we have continued to be in the playoffs (and marginally outside). If we capitulated between now and the end of the season, Robins would certainly have questions to answer.
