Yet another two points dropped against a Plymouth side in terrible form. An unfortunate, scrappy affair in which we conceded two goals through abysmal defending.
Maddison’s thirty-yard screamer was the goal of the game. Not much else to rejoice in.
Now, no sense wasting your time sat in front of a screen. Disconnect and find something more life affirming to do!

I never, ever want to see Pratley in the centre of defence or Matthews at left back again.
Get Steve Brown on the coaching stuff.
Poor performance against a poor team.
Just need to get some consistency together and we would be well up there.
Such a shame we lost our defence at the start of the season as it has really held us back.
It would be good to not see Prately at CB again, get Deji back in and push Pratley back into the middle.

Not good enough
Maddison looked brilliant however
Some of our signings have not worked out as expected. Management team are learning on the job. Stay around the playoffs.
We just need to get away from these "Manager favourites" situation that has developed.
MM has been putting chances on a plate for 3/4 games now. What a special piece of skill and strike today.
Decided to play our left back in midfield, so we had to play a right back (who can’t use his left foot at all) at left back.
Had a defensive midfielder at centre half while we had a perfectly fit centre half sitting on the bench.
On top of the square pegs in round holes, we had our most creative player on the bench against a team who have conceded 34 goals, and our super sub who has scored all his goals off the bench - starting the game.
I was one of the people on here who was backing Bowyer to the hills after the Shrewsbury game but I’m losing patience.
Not enough going forward. Not enough at the back.
Severe lack of pace, ageing midfielders. No mobility.
Hopefully it doesn’t mirror the Wembley result.
But his ridiculous team selection and tactics are costing us dearly.
Not sure how much patience Mr.sandgaard has with Bowyer.
We shall find out soon enough.
I've always been pro Bowyer, but I'm starting to doubt whether he can get us promoted again.
Looked good attacking today but defensively we're all over the place
Apart from Maddison's bastard of a shot we didnt look like scoring in the second half
Desperately need Inniss back at the very least to give the opposition questions in both penalty boxes for set pieces!!
Got to question if Oshilaja is going to be on his way out next, Pearce was out longer but is back sooner???
Only joy from this match was Maddison's goal. The guy has class.
- came from behind ... twice
- unbeaten in four
- fair result for us
- game in hand
The individual performances were woeful. Watson is gone, Pratley was embarassing. It's so depressing watching these two old cloggers start every single game.
At 2-2 in the final 5 minutes, notice how they didn't sit deep and invite pressure? They were putting us under pressure. They pushed out and played keep away. Made it look easy.
And but for a scrambled goal from a corner and some brilliance from Maddison... We'd have lost comprehensively.
As someone said a few weeks ago, it's so hard to identify with this group of players. They make it so hard to watch them at times, let alone anything else.
As for LB, him changing the lineup and formation every game would be fine if it meant we were set up correctly for each game, but when are we ever?
Almost preferred watching us last year when you knew we were heavily outgunned. At least there was an excuse in those games for just competing. Now we are competing with teams that we should dominant agains.
