You want therapy? You've certainly come to the right place!

Every time I close my eyes, I see the ref from last night and he blows his whistle and gives them another pen. I think I need therapy. Please make it stop

Can TS or another ex-referee explain why O'Toole got a second yellow and sent off but Lewis didn't? The latter's foul was certainly more deliberate.

I don't blame Goodman for not letting the ball go into the net, quite a risky tactic and only takes a referee not to notice for it to be a goal BUT he really should have been be able to grab the ball or punch it further than he flapped it to.

KT2. Reeves has been missing almost as long as Lord Lucan. I can see him going the same way as Woodyard.

Don't think Reeves is taking his share of the flack tbh. He's the captain and his sole role on the pitch is to control play from MF (at least, he doesn't do much other than languid short range passing). Haven't seen him doing much in the way of commanding the side to help us close games out recently.

Going up would be great of course, but a L1 team only earns about £0.5m more than a L2, and given our ground is always 'full', I suspect that there wouldn't be much more to gain on the gates. The big leap is from L1 to Championship.

Despite the recent very disappointing results, believe it or not it is still all to play for (just). This half of the season we have done quite well against promotion rivals, and we still have Doncaster, Chesterfield, Port Vale and Grimsby to come. And most of the others have to play each other. So you never know. We could finish anywhere in the top half of the table. I'm not excusing our repeated inability to close a game down, but I suppose if we are going to lose it may as well be against a mid table team like SwinDon, not in a six-pointer.

Goodman should have just let the ball go into the net. Nobody else touched it from the throw-in, so would have been a goal kick

Even at 1-1 we should have been able to get down the other end and score a winner, but instead we tried to cling on to a point, and look how that turned out… 🙄 Fragile, so so fragile…. 😩

It's a bugbear of mine when we define a professional keeper as being a good shot stopper. That's an absolute requirement for getting a pro contract. It's the other stuff that makes them successful. Claiming their area, being strong under challenge, not dithering, marshalling their defence. All major weaknesses in Goodman's game for me. Saying a keeper is a good shot stopper is like saying an outfield player is a decent pro because he can kick a ball. I would argue one of the reasons we were so successful earlier in the season is we realised after 9 minutes against Colchester in game 1 that we couldn't have a normal gap between keeper & defence. So there was less of an area for the opposition to exploit. That gap has gradually widened over the last couple of months & Goodman's weaknesses (and those of our defenders) have been exposed.

The only thing that’s changed over the past few games is the composure of our defence. Our game plan the entire season has been don’t concede, and no plan B. If plan A fails and you start conceding then…….

Goodman should have claimed the ball instead as you say pat it back into play. Good shot stopper yes but does not command the area.

Jousting? I meant just

Just watched the highlights, why the hell Coleman just pats the ball back into play just before the second penalty instead of jousting catching it with both hands is beyond me

Yep, predictability doesn’t pay. Said it all along about Jackson.

Playing the same players and formation game after game has resulted in fatigue and predictability. Teams know EXACTLY what we will do and are now preventing it with ease. Players whi have mot played are rusty and not match fit, so if a change is enforced it weakens the team even more. Pigott is a classic victim of this. At the start of the season he looked OK. He played and scored a good goal at Cheltenham. He then never got a look in for months and is now shot to pieces. Hippolyte started well, never was rested, now constantly injured. Aside from the pizza / used car dealership plate, Jackson only changes the team when forced to, be it by injury or panic after 88 minutes. The players in the squad were evenly matched at the start of the season for a starting place. Now our big squad has fringe players. O'Toole was a rock in defence last season. He never got a look in this season and that culminated in yesterday's fiasco. Who is to blame for all this?

Budget will be reduced next year,rachel reeves has seen to that.

Biggles unlucky for me you can watch many matches on sky/now tv and other ways at a lot cheaper price. 😂

I believe that the Meet The PLC at least hinted at a reduced budget next season.

The shame will be if our goal difference counts for now't, in the end
