I weirdly feel better after that. You make your own luck in football and I know we haven't been great. But we have had sod all luck in recent weeks. We are due a break. Massive opportunity to drag Millwall into it on Saturday. I'm surprised Sheff Weds have fluffed their lines this weekend but if we can get ahead of Plymouth then I think we will be fine. There were some good performances today. The caveat to Plymouth is that they don't hire Warnock before the seasons end... Oh FFS |

I think we're gonna struggle now. We need a miracle. To overtake the side just above us we need to make up ONE point in the next 6 games on a team that has only taken one point from their last 6 games,.. and that constitutes a 'miracle'? Ill correct myself--its really 2 points we need to make up on Plymouth because of GD. But looking at their fixtures, and their current form, they might not get another point. Their next game is at rotherham who are putting up a fight ,especially at one as today's result shows. After that they have a very tough run in. |

Don't forget about the side below us who have taken a lot more points than we have from games since Christmas True but get the feeling their bubble has burst a bit now. A mate is a wednesay fan and even he said they were really lucky to get some of the results they got. |

Plymouth will seemingly have a new manager in, Warnock will fancy it. |

We have some really shite players but there’s 6 games left ffs you would think it was mathematically impossible to stay up the way people are bleating on. Do your bit at he next game cheer them on and if we go down so be it , won’t be the end of the world just need to bounce back like we have down many times in the past

Positives : Bojan looked more than adept at this level A points a point Depth on the bench Resilient after they equalised - many town teams capitulate Brodie Spencer in general Negatives : Burgzorg is getting worse We look increasingly thin at the back We don’t seem to be scoring from as many set pieces as we were 1 point further away from safety We can 100% stay up and it’s all in our hands - it needs to start with more clinical finishing . We can’t rely on clean sheets to win games Also have Healey getting back to fitness and he looks to have the exact attitude we need in this situation. Good to see Bojan putting in a good performance and showing what he's capable of. Might we have two quality strikers available for the run in? I hope so. |

If you are in the bottom 3 you are to a certain extent reliant on the results of others just above you. Sad but true.. |

In some ways it doesn't matter what any of the teams around us do - WE have got to start winning.
We haven't remotely looked like winning in most matches this season have we ?
We play two bloody awful teams - Rotherham and Stoke - and scrape two points and when we play better teams, not world beaters, we invariably get hammered.
We may "only" have to win 3 matches till the end of the season, but to win matches you have to keep clean sheets and score goals.

Am I alone in thinking Jaheim Headley was the one most at fault for their equaliser? If so, what did I miss? Sorba Thomas' half-arsed attempt at challenging their man. You think it merits "half" arsed? Wouldn't go higher than an "eighth" arsed (and even that might be generous). |

Thomas's attitude stinks, his set peices are getting worse, not impressed with him at all. After his half hearted attempt to stop their shot for the equaliser he turned and looked discusted we had conceded. |

Who else remembers the year Birmingham beat us on our own turf to send us down? I get the feeling lightning could strike twice on 27th April.

It was a mistake but having just got back from stoke some folks need to realise the shift the lad puts in. Quality at times lacking but dont question his workrate and attitude for me....hes run his nads off today. |

An outlet from start to finish……..I don’t disagree the quality on the ball at times was lacking…….but contrast the reactions to him with rudoni and jones the other so called creators in the team who offered no more. Am getting sick of seeing sorba get dogs abuse every wk whilst others get a much easier ride - presumably cos he’s got a bit of edge about him. |

I can totally understand why people are concerned where our next win is coming from but there is no need to throw the towel in just yet. We battled again today & maybe it's our turn next week that an opposition CB falls over on the half way & lets our striker have an un-opposed 1 on 1 with the goalie.... we'd just have to finish it.
We are not the only team that can't buy a win & there are some pluses:
1) it's still in our own hands
2) we have some home games that could benefit us & damage rivals at the same time
3) Bojan & Healey have both now scored, which should give them confidence
It's really not looking good but we can still do it.

Sorba made a massive error today but even the Sky commentators acknowledged his importance to the team. This coming Saturday is made for him. |

Thomas is getting crap for not getting a block in.
Where was the full back?
It was poor, but not that long ago, Thomas was being praised for his effort. I suspect it’s the usual post game angst that’s being displayed on here this evening.
Massive game on Sat, let’s get behind ‘em from the off and see if we can make it a rosier DATM for a few hours at least…
UTT!!!

My only gripe with Sorba Thomas is he dosnt like mixing it and putting his foot in, i realise its not his game but he often seems tentative in challenges and dosnt tackle as hard as he should, again its not his game but these next few games we're going to need 100% commitment from every town player on the pitch. |

Sorba does a lot more than run about, the stats alone prove he is probably the most influential player we have this season. He made a mistake today and I was livid with him for such a shoddy attempt at stopping the cross but that cant cloud your judgement on the rest of his season.
He will be gone in the summer, no doubt in mind about it.

He will be gone in the summer, no doubt in mind about it. He has created the most chances in the whole league according to the bbc website and is on course for double figure assists for a struggling side, agreed would be weird if clubs didn’t come in for him, especially in the data/stats driven recruitment era. |

You've picked a bad day to launch your defence TBF I was angry with his mistake - so was he! Dont really care about the timing as such. This team is hugely better with him in it......and we need him. The singling out of him and burgzorg today really annoyed me though. By contrast nobody said sod all when spencer let his man waltz past him early on and folks were moaning when rudoni went off as though his contribution was immense....it wasnt. We have a bang average squad at this level - they need our support now. |

Almost a perfect away performance. Thought we were the dominant side throughout..got the lead which we deserved, then one crappy moment by Sorba leads to a bit of a worldy from their lad and despite being dominant again we just couldn't fashion a winner. Not the result we wantedtbut the performance wasnt bad overall despite a few dodgy individual showings...Bergzorg and Headley mainly. Can we finish above Wednesday ( whos upturn in form seems to have ended now ) and Plymouth ( 1 point from last 6 games) ?? yeah course we can, with 3 winnable home games to go , and away at Bristol who'll probably have nothing to play for and Ipswich who could well be resting players for play offs or on beach having gone up. We 'shouldnt' go down from this position IMO and I dont think we will. I agree with some of this but it's an extremely optimistic view. How many times did Stoke play a straightforward pass to a free man inbetween our defence and midfield? Stoke players just turned and ran at us ffs. The dominant side? I think you were watching a different game to me - particularly 2nd half. |

It's quite clearly fucking rubbish and has been since we left the PL. Corberan polished a turd in that weird season when we could have gone up. Eventually, that lack of quality will be exposed and it unfortunately seems like this is our time to fall through the trapdoor. The warning signs have been there for years. |

Think the low point came at the end of the first half when Thomas and Radulovic came up with their masterstroke from the free kick. Their decision to run the clock down rather than go for a second goal was so depressing. How many other clubs would have done that?

Their decision to run the clock down rather than go for a second goal was so depressing. Hiw many other clubs would have done that? This was absolutely embarrassing. A free chance to whip the ball in the box to the defenders that came up without risking a counter attack and we did that. What goes through their heads?! |

Just put it in the box and see what happens. Even if the keeper catches it the ref is blowing for half time. Piss weak mentality to take it to the corner flag. |

That's the most annoying think about this season, that the club have actually learnt nothing in the last 12 months, absolutely nothing. It's just history repeating itself. |
