    I agree but RLB needs to be a bit braver. He seems very negative and thats at least four times we have conceded late because we have give the momentum back to teams we have dominated for most of the match. 5 defenders finishing that game sends out the wrong message to the whole squad.

    That's on the manager for me. Inviting pressure yet again against a crap team and its cost us. How many late goals have we conceded now? An awful lot. Not a coincidence. We don't know how to manage a lead, every game we are hanging on to a lead. Most annoyed I've been all season

    Maybe time for Reg to give them a kick up their arses instead of saying they will learn from it. They might learn a bit quicker <laugh>

    I agree I think investing in someone of his qualities and then shoe horning him on to the left wing just doesn’t work.

    Starting against these with a single striker was a massive mistake too. Also Samed slowed the game down too much and we missed Dan Neil passing and driving from that deeper role.

    Huge missed opportunity and lucky we actually got a draw.

    Team setup was wrong. Too slow

    then we get back in the game. Go 2-1 up, look in control, until your keeper doesn’t claim the ****ing ball

    Plymouth deserved that point

    Still can’t get over the team selection. Not sure why we thought today was the day we needed a new defensive midfielder, rather than our two striker approach.

    I think they do deserve to be booed as did most the the roker end.

    Lazy performance today. Most of it was effort too. Their second goal was a perfect example of it.

    Don't graft you get booed.

    Smells of Mike Dodds getting in his ear and persuading RLB to defend what we had. He'll think twice about doing that again.

    Genuinely think we were lucky to get the point there, so poor, Patto needs to command his box, disappointed he ran off down the tunnel at the end too

    Defensively we are awful. 2 goals given away so cheaply and there could have been more.

    A really poor performance that.

    Get LeFee in the middle or don’t play him. He’s not a winger.

    Basic Stuff. Play players where they’re meant to play.

    So SAFC today. How many times does this team do this, when we’re expecting to win.

    I’m really pi$$ed AFF!!

    He thought it was a gimmy and used it as a test. Well it backfired.

    We were lucky to get the point. They missed some serious chances.

    Patterson needs dropping.

    It's not the first time he's gone defensive and we've had a similar reaction, so not sure he will think twice unfortunately.

    I'm old school. I've never ever booed our own players. Totally wrong in my book.

    He’s like Jack Ross. The similarities are striking. Always sits back on a one goal lead and tries to win every game by a single goal. It’s no coincidence that we’ve lost more points in the last 10 minutes than any other team in the Championship.
