Ok I’ll start with ratings for the players.
A collective -10

The funny thing is, I'm not actually going to get too hung up on this.
It was a dreadful defensive performance, we aren't going to do that every week (especially if McFadz doesn't play).
I think we just put it down as a one off shocker and move on.
O’Hare our best player with a 5 possibly a 6. The rest 3’s and 4’s. Got to be one of the worst performances I’ve seen. On a par with Oxford and Cambridge a few years ago.
Have to say the fans were a disgrace today also. Took the kids and had to endure foul mouthed drunk morons all game. 5 flares, 2 fag lighters, half a dozen bottles all thrown on the pitch. People smoking I'm their seats, stealing beer (that's why it was banned at HT) and countless peado type chants. Sorry guys but I didn't enjoy that one bit.
The fans got sold down the river!!Oxford and Cambridge? Not sure what a bad performance has got to do with the boat race.

Think the boat race would be more exciting.Oxford and Cambridge? Not sure what a bad performance has got to do with the boat race.

I can't be asked to rate them win, lose or draw. If I feel someone has played well or poorly, I will mention them... it's all arbitrary bullshit really!14 posts so far and only one serious attempt to rate the players. Everyone is only too keen to rate them when we win. I couldn't get there today and a setback of this nature cries out for a constructive critique. Anyone?

McFadzean - 2 (worst performance by a defender I think I've ever seen).

We've conceded 14 league goals this season, of those 14, 9 were gifted away or avoidable.
V Pompey, Marosi took too long on the ball and kicked the ball against an attacker and the Fadz fuck up gifted them 2 goals.
Oxford, the Dabo goal and Kelly sliding in at the death gifted them 2 goals.
Penalty v AFC Wimbledon.
And then 4 goals today that were all avoidable.
Not to mention the 3 or 4 chances we gave them they didnt take, plus the chances we gifted Doncaster that they didnt take.
9 goals of 14 though our own downfall. That's 64%. We cannot continue like that and expect to still be chasing promotion at the end of the season.
We need a plan b. It's ok playing possession football at home when teams come and sit back, but it's clearly not working away from home. 10 of 14 goals conceded away from home. It's clearly not working. We were lucky enough to play well going forward against Pompey and Oxford so managed to come away with a draw. Today was no 'one off' or 'fluke'! We simply cannot play the same brand of football away from home against EVERY opposition. We need to set up each week for the team in front of us. Not just play our football regardless and hope we score a 90min equaliser.
100% agree re fans frankly some of them were more embarrassing than the team drunk middle aged over weight morons is being politeHave to say the fans were a disgrace today also.

Next 33 games will define the seasonIt's like they said about Man City few weeks ago, it's not about how you lose, its about how you win again. Next couple of games will define the rest of the season.
Let’s be fair. We were 2-0 down against Blackpool and kept playing the same way. I can’t recall anybody moaning about that being unsuccessful.We have been unbeaten all season, so I wouldn't suddenly change it.
However, there is a time and a place. 1-0 down and pissing around with it against a team who have clearly done their homework isn't the time. Plan B Is needed in these situations.
What made it worse was the continuing of it at 2-0 down in the second half!
