    Out the concourse and not emotionally livid but incredibly disappointed.

    promotion rivals drop points and Sunderland served one of the worst performing sides in the league at home. Whilst there are no easy games we should have been capable of putting the sword into Plymouth today.

    The story today is 2 shots on target for Plymouth today and 2 goals. Meanwhile for the lads enzos cross in the first is met by Neil who misses it, the ball comes to Robert in the second half and he fancies a touch rather than a first time strike, the ball comes to cirkin and he wants it to roll across to his left foot and at the death it comes to mayenda after the best move of the match to be met by an air shot.

    whilst he has form for it I feel it indefensible to throw defenders on, at home, to Plymouth to hang on.

    it’s time to put friendships and development aside and get the best player on paper in his best position and aouchice can play left mid.

    Lots of side to side possession today, no threat through the middle and bitterly disappointing performances from a good few individuals.

    we haven’t lost but our rivals wont continue to drop points and we must strike when they do

    Thought that was the worst performance of the season. Never seen us so one dimensional, constant lumps to try and get Isidor in behind against a back 5, was easy for Plymouth. No intensity either. Actually thought Plymouth had the better chances, we didn’t deserve to win that.

    Bad day at the office for RLB too imo. Midfield didn’t work, was like we tried to get minutes into samed because the result was a given, there is nothing given in this league. The move to the back 5 was a mistake imo. We were getting a bit overran in midfield before that and moving to the back 5 made it even worse, very reminiscent of the Coventry games last 10 mins. There’s a reason we’ve lost the most points in the last ten minutes, the mentality of allowing pressure on is something we just aren’t improving at.

    Hugely gutting result, huge opportunity missed. Don’t win at boro and then we could be looking at a big uphill battle. Sunderland eh

    Win the next 3 for me

    that’s a sign of intent

    If we don’t I’ll be inclined (depending on other results) to say we’re getting play offs.

    Obviously can't really comment on performance as didn't see it, but reading comments from a few folk who don't normally let the emotion of the result get in the way of their comments it sounds like a shocking performance

    The amount of points we have dropped in the last 15 minutes is worrying, that happens for 2 reasons - we don't kill off teams and we don't use our bench well enough.

    To take 1 point from 2 games against Plymouth, who are one of the worst sides I've ever seen at this level is embarrassing

    The only silver lining is we have moved a point closer to sheff utd and 1 or both of the other 2 will drop points

    We must improve against the poor teams at home as we have some awful games coming up

    A win against Boro will lift spirits - shame it's not tell a week on Monday

    ****e that.

    Passive first half, made life far too easy for them. Finally woke up at 1-0 down and got ourselves into the lead. That at the end is dreadful, I've defended Patto but get off your bloody line and help the defenders ffs.

    Not to mention the free header and the post hit.

    Very frustrating.

    I disagree and the performance played out exactly like it. Every player was underpar. Everyone underestimated today.

    Wel I feel really flat after that. Fantastic opportunity to puta marker down and we didn’t. Emotions are high but on that I honestly don’t think we are good enough to go up automatically which is disappointing as the skill and talent are there. Playoffs for me I think

    What's the problem with having somewhere you normally go, in your down time?

    Are you insinuating that his private life is affecting his performance in his job?

    I agree with you on this. If we were at home to say a Watford or a West Brom, I don’t think samed starts today. Feels cliche that saying of thinking you just have to turn up to win but most players were not at their usual standards today, low intensity, low creativity and sloppy.
