    Great performance, no end product. Charlton time wasting at the end, what a pathetic side.

    Frustrating but promising signs. Clarke has to start.

    Agreed. Strange to keep him out of the 11 each week. I mean it's not as if we have been class. It's 1 win in 5 under Neil. Clarke deserves to get the chance from the off.

    2 home games where we should be constant attack. Get him in.

    I think if Broadhead was match fit he'd have scored today.
    Not taking our chances is our downfall this season and its looking more likely that another season in this god foresaken league is a probability.
    Wigan arent even a good team but unlike us they can play bad and still nick a winning goal.

    Performance ok but tailed off a bit I thought. Result is a hurtful one. Teams like Oxford and MK Dons are hitting form. Teams behind us clicking as well. Draws wont cut it in the last 10 games, it is win or bust now for me. Broadhead back will help in that regard, hope we havent lost Pritchard though. Maybe we need to uss our bench better in games like this.

    Point away from home
    More importantly a clean sheet
    Keep clean sheets and we will get results

    Frustrating but still positive

    once again they had a chance to nick it right at the end...good keeper that lad, sure some on here were hoping we would sign him.

    decent enough performance from the lads but at the end of the day we need that ball in their net, on another day that could have been 4 or 5 nowt to us, stewart got some clear headers in, we got a few shots on target, basically dominated the game but hard to get those goals when a team is set up to stop losing.

    our problem now is every week is one less (or two) game to push for play offs.

    It's not a positive result and that's what is needed really. I mean we are out of the play offs so that's the deciding factor. Next 2 are huge at home.

    I am serious
    First job for AN was to sort out that defence it looks like we are making progress on that point
    Yes it would have been great to win but first things first make sure we don't lose
    How many times would we have lost that game under previous managers
    Not saying the result was great and yes it would have been nice to win but some days things just don't go for you. When that happens make sure you don't lose the game

    I agree it's not a positive result
    BUT we didn't lose
    Small comfort I know but maybe just maybe we are starting to sort out our defence

    We've bought Xhemajli in for Doyle which was a no brainer. Johnson seriously fecked up there by being a fanny and being too scared to change the back 4.

    Maybe but I wouldn't call today positive. That's all. Some good signs but same frustrating elements
