    That's pissed me right off. More points completely pissed away when subs could have helped.

    BA and AA are not great but Rigg and Mayenda were completely done for 70 mins. Straight forward subs.

    our second half performances are really frustrating and it's a shame as both centre backs deserved to be getting on the bus with 3 points.

    It's the manner though. Performance > results at this stage of the season and frankly that was horrific in the 2nd half.

    It's not a terrible result, but considering we led the game for 80 minutes, this feels like a kick in the teeth.

    Seems like it's better for us to go in at half time losing or at least with some adjustments to make, when we go in having played a good half, we allow our opponents to adjust and we seem to struggle with that.

    Sorry like both Ba and AA could have easily been on for Mayenda and Rigg and have played in those positions many times in previous games.

    Would have snapped your hand off for that at 3pm but can't help be dissapointed with the manner of it.

    4 points lost that we should have had from the last 2 games and the teams below are catching us

    AA could not play riggs role there. Ba would not make a difference regardless of mayenda being tired because we weren’t on the ball.

    let’s be realistic for once

    It's why I don't like saying I'd snap your hand off for a point!

    I can see Roberts and Jobe coming straight back in midweek. Question is, does Hume and if so, who misses out in defense?

    When’s AA ever played a defensive role in a 442 mate?

    That’s too many games in a row when we’ve thrown away the second half.

    Get the team to keep attacking as a form of defence and used the ****ing bench.

    Yeah it is. It's nearly every away game. The same second half of sitting in and not controlling the ball.

    Aye spot on.

    Woeful game management will cost us dearly this season unless it's fixed quickly.

    Serb could have played his natural CM position and Aa sitting behind Wilson. Very very easy sub to make.

    You've seen Aouchiche and Ba play right? I mean you saw them last season yeah? How are they suddenly the answer....or is this just you being miserable and looking for some fresh way to knock the club?

    After battering them first half was anyone expecting anything other than them to come at us at home when their confidence is high

    we would’ve won had we not lost shape at the end there
