*(Nick - I take your point though, it’s true we weren’t winning in all of those I listed…)

Not all that rare - Newport at home, Colchester away, Bromley at home, Morecambe away, Cheltenham at home, and today…. It’s really hard to understand how the hell we are still actually 3rd (until PV and DR play their games in hand of course).

MarkL - yes, when 20 came on and Jackson did nothing, it was almost inevitable that we’d concede…. 🙄

Today’s collapse was reminiscent of the Robinson relegation season but in fairness it’s been pretty rare for us to fall apart like that this year, generally we have been more resilient in hanging on

The big back guy and the bloke with no number bullied us a bit at the end

Pressley was rubbish Lewis had him in his back picket

One of their big lads was our ex-donkey, Aaron Pressley. When he was with us and played up front he played half the games in our relegation season (another Robinson master signing) because of injury and only scored from penalties. Brentford B soon got rid of him and he has since played for the likes of Accrington and now Barrow.

He probably gave Lewis as hard a time as ant forward he has been up against, even though he has no goal threat. Probably the sort of player Jackson would love as a replacement for Bugiel in due course.
Nothing is inevitable. There are only individual decisions.

We have been incredibly successful set-up in the same consistent way and any subs disrupt that. Really missed Bugiel's work rate today.
I think also in hindsight, Hardbottle for hutch might have been better

The crowd knew what was coming at 1-0 and tried to sing the team home. The crowd were still nervous at 2-0 and tried to sing the team home. At 2-1 the crowd were more nervous and tried to sing the team home. The crowd knew that another goal was inevitable. Why didn’t the team and the management?

The one player you want to be on the bench and come on as a sub to shore the game up has disappeared, bring back jon-joe for the last 8 games is a must!

The idea that we will beat either Walsall or Doncaster away is for the birds - we barely scraped past Carlisle (who, in case anyone has forgotten, WERE AND STILL ARE BOTTOM!!) last week, and as recently as 17 days ago we LOST to Morecambe (who, in case anyone hasn’t noticed, ARE CURRENTLY EQUAL BOTTOM ON POINTS!!). If there’s 5 minutes left and you’re 2-0 up, it’s ALL about game management - subs, possession, taking a foul, going to the corner, getting in the ref’s face, subs again, sitting down with cramp, etc etc etc etc…. No excuses - none.

John: your points tally is wrong (I fear). We will need more than 78

I have confidence in the players and management to deliver. I will continue to do my bit. I even donned my Shareholder scarf today to demonstrate my pride at being a 5% fan owned club.

I admire you optimism (or blind faith) JG. We will need to be a little more inventive to start winning as teams know how to set up against us. We seem to have two tactics. Endlessly passing the ball about sideways with little movement up front to create any space for a forward pass (other than Maycock who does try to make diagonal runs but never gets the ball) or passing the ball back to Lewis to launch a long diagonal ball up to people who can't win the headers.

Back home, disappointed as we all are. On the bright side I know that the toilet code at Greggs is 1267.

He said clutching at straws.
Inept! Disappointing! Definitley 2 points tossed away. But i remain optimisticly positive. We still need 5 wins and we will bounce back on Saturday turning the Poundlanders over. I'm making a weekend of it - going to see Ocean Colour Scene afterwards. Keep the belief.

Tuesday 1st April should be interesting when we're away to SwinDon as its Donny v Walsall and Port Vale v Bradford.

I somehow knew we’d need two, I didn’t think we’d need 3 to win today, not against a team that started the day in 18th position…. Last 4 home games, one win, one draw, two losses, 4 points from a possible 12 - promotion form? I think not. Three of our next four games are tough away fixtures - we will do well to still be in the playoffs at this rate….

Just picking up the comments. Seemed to me, last ten minutes Barrow went long ball and we couldn’t cope

Tbf the sideways passing is because Barrow did what most do against us - stick everyone behind the ball. There were very few occasions when Jake had movement ahead of him and therefore a forward pass to make.

Agree about Reeves. He can play as poor as he likes. He will be the first name of the team sheet. When we need urgency and forward passes, Reeves is NOT your man. Our only way out of this division this season is to find some form and finish in the top 3. We have little chance in the play offs. Can't see it happening. I hope I am wrong.

My only crumb of comfort is the goal Stevens scored may shake him out an otherwise very poor run of form and being passenger for the last few games. He is slower than he looks. Browne also flatters to deceive. Where are our goals going to come from? Piggott is past it. Bugiel, Sasu and Kelly are not goal scorers. Foyo is probably not ready for this level. That is all we have.
'Barrow boss Andy Whing said his side could sense the nervousness around Plough Lane as they came from two goals down to claim a late 2-2 draw against AFC Wimbledon on Saturday.'

All our fault then. Maybe I should stop going
Reeves as a captain is a spectacular failure. He should have been making sure the team played the ball around to feet and waste time. Now a poor player not good enough. Jackson won't drop him unfortunately.
