Wild has to look at how we often capitulate too easy, next season recruitment has to get someone who can calm things down, our midfield lacks this ,I hope we do it but deep down, I think on our day we're a match for anyone, but we can't hack pressure this has to be addressed!

Walsall suffered a similar fate today against Bradford City - two nil ahead and lost 3-2.

You can really feel his disappointment but that assault on Farman could cost Donny.
Wild is right for 65 mins we were excellent and frustrated them. They got a lift from the penalty the crowd erupted and we couldn’t manage the situation.
Its done it’s gone we move on to Tuesday where we have another opportuniy to get the job done.

Exactly this. It wouldn’t matter how many we are in front, the minute we concede we just cave in.

You've got to be able to handle that ,Wild is just as bad as people slagging off Warren, he's in charge, our management team xan surely see what's happening!, substitutions is Wilds achilles heel but he's still learning!

Everyone was terrified of wild jumping ship and going to a bigger club but I’m in being honest he’s lucky he’s at a club so forgiving

How is it? How are you so blind in seeing what an absolute capitulation this has been.

Luckily for us Walsall lost and Crawley drew, otherwise we'd be in deep dodo.

Fortunately we have a much better goal difference than Doncaster, Crawley and Walsall, as we might finish level on points with any or all 3.

We just ALL need to get behind them at Holker Street next week. We need one win from two games to be sure of a spot.

Crawley? Conceded a penalty there and, if anything, deserved to go on to win.

Exactly the guy is still learning it’s his second full season in the EFL and we are miles ahead of where he of any of us thought we would be less than two years into his tenure

Becuase we dont play possession football. We 2 up away,….try and keep possession, slow things down and burn that clock down. They get one and then knocking on the door with a big crowd behind them, it was no suprise that they went on to win it. Looking at the bench it’s very attacking. I don’t think he picked a bench expecting to be two up. Where’s Tom White?

Anyone else just wish we were midtable with absolutely nothing to play for? My blood pressure does.

Not particularly on that latter point.
