25% of goals conceded have come in the final 10 minutes I think Adam said.
Don't let the old man in.

This is a bad team trying to turn things around.
We could have easily lost that game.
Harper seems tired all the time.
Not sure why he took Newby off

Bristol Rovers will be another hard game and with Evans in charge probably physical.
Let's hope the results tomorrow go our way.

Surely too many substitution,s unless due to injury breaks up the momentum

Shocking stat that. Getting mentally and physically tired as well as retreating far too deep as the game goes on.

There must be some data and insight from within the club as to why this is happening

14 of the 53 goals we’ve conceded have been in the last 10 minutes of matches. That’s just over a quarter (26.4%).

Gutted like, should have beat them. Looked better when we got the ball down when played. New centre half looked good, fletcher looked good, good to see foley back, Anderson looked good, Jackson was good

Who would you pick instead? If Smith and MJ Williams were fit he wouldn’t be starting but they aren’t, and probably won’t be anytime soon

That’s cost us 11 points in total, which would’ve seen us currently on 39 points, in 17th place.

We’ve probably only got 2 maybe 3 players worthy of league 2 standard from the starting 11. So it’s upto the other to work their wallops off to get us out of this. They did that tonight and the fact majority of the time we walk away from a defeat we go “they are sh!t” means there’s not much in this league. 11 work horses, dino, McCann, barkhazen and fletcher, foley coming back (rose wasn’t in starting 11) we have a sniff.

Also as gutting as it seems, it’s a point gained. We hit the post from a speculative effort and scored and good play for us a pen.

Just checked Harpers contract, who’s bright idea was it to give him a 2 year deal … and he’s only 25, moves like he’s 45.

Not sure about not putting a foot wrong! Yep he did ok first half but he always looks like he’s in quick sand after an hour and I was just waiting for him to trip someone in the area in that last 10 mins.
