    Simply threw it away. Given the comeback to go in 2-1 up at half time, I've rarely been so dissappointed at the final whistle. That second half performance must rank as one of the most abject attempts to win a game that was there for the taking.

    Why do we just try to defend a single goal first half lead rather than push on against an out of sorts team? Was it the players or did it come from the touchline. When Ralls went off we lacked any bite in midfield. We severely missed Ng. No disrespect to Romeo, but he struggled on the right flank and offered very little in the way of support for Bowler or Tanner.

    A rearguard performance that failed - when will we learn? Signing off for the night - maybe I'll feel better in the morning but I doubt it.

    Agree but taking off our two best players in Robinson and Bowler was madness. Bulit changed a winning team to Ipswich and we lost that 3-2. The only saving grace is we can make the play-offs.

    I'm guessing it's got to have been the players not doing their jobs properly.

    On paper, with the arguable exception of Wintle for Ralls none of the substitutions suggest a negative approach.
    In some respects, Colwill instead of (in my opinion) the harder working Robbo is an even more attack minded approach....

    We all knew it was never going to be plain sailing but now it's time to buckle down on the training field again and try come back stronger after the break.
