    How many more games do we have to say this.

    It's nearly every away game.

    Not great to watch that second half but a point is fine for me

    We are top of the League for now <party>

    Yet they created littlest all. lots of huff and puff. Bit like the Coventry game in that we had chances to put it to bed but just didn’t! Even though they had loads of the ball.

    Jobe playing we win that.

    I would have thought we should be used to it by now.

    Fair result tbh, still a sickener though …

    … we were great until the game was suspended.

    Gaffer was happy with a point from half time, was happy to sit on the lead ‘confident’ we could get a point.

    repeatedly sitting on leads, sacrificing possession and inviting trouble.

    Not using his bench, likes of Ba and Aouchiche not even trusted to provide legs in a game like this.

    aleksic missed the guilt edge chance but the gaffer conceded any control of the game

    I'm appalled by that. Performance of a relegation struggler that 2nd half. Looked scared, tactically unaware and just flat out ****e. All on RLB that, again.

    Before the meltdown, may I just remind a few of you (who are likely to be the worst) that you said before the game that you'd snap hands off for a point.

    Well done lads, we would have all taken a point with the injuries and suspensions.

    They gave everything and just couldn't hold out.

    Would've taken a point before the match but that just kicks you in the balls a bit after the Coventry result. We need to change what is happening at half time because it feels we let teams come into it 2nd half

    As good as RLB has done for us, he has questions to be asked. Far too often we just sit in and just let the opponents dictate, even when we are full strength. No subs too, we’ve just ran our players into the ground.. even use some just to kill a bit time ffs

    Another kick in the nuts, yes they have battered us and yes the equaliser has been coming but how many times are we going to snatch a draw from the jaws of victory this season.
    Starting to become a bit of a habit.

    Nah. We are top and they made about 5 changes? Star players Honeyman and Watmore?

    I expected us to beat them.

    No wonder Aleksic hasn’t had a look in.

    Make subs for who? We’ve got no one there who’d have fit the system. If you’d tell me one sub that would’ve changed that game I’ll agree.

    milwall created nothing of note. We miss a sitter at one end then where was the shape at the back? A mistake cost us the game.

    not blaming RLB for that

    Awful second half. Devastating to concede so late when we looked like we were going to get away with it. Naïve defending for their goal. Fair result.
