    There were other factors in the defeat for sure. Slade's weakness is that he doesn't react to offensive changes other managers make, which they often do in desperation. Often they gamble that a manager is being too precious with their lead to respond when it might mean playing more openly to exploit gaps. And as the game goes on, Slade's thinking is, we haven't got that second goal so now we have to make sure we don't concede one.

    Flipping this slightly by all accounts we should have been home and dry only poor finishing cost us.

    I agree I thought one up was too negative however we battered em and should have been out of sight by half time.

    The second half they came back into it and we were on the back foot would not most managers that have seen a team lose momentum look to hold out?

    He can't put it in the back of the net at the end of the day

    All that is fair comment and if it was just this game we could write it off as one of those days.

    but we battered Wimbledon, went one up and still lost.

    We were winning against Oldham and drew

    We were winning against Oxford and drew.

    Last night wasn't a one-off bad day at the office.

    If he decided he wanted to hold out for the 1-0 why not bring on Konsa or Johnson. Why bring on a left back for our only outlet going forward. Why bring on an unproven youngster when you got a 20 goal a season man on the bench. Why bring on Lee Novak at all. Too many times this season we have been in winning positions and thrown it away. Awful management

    Tex travelled but not on the bench?

    Slade is a network yes man. Chris Powell got sacked because he didn't do what he was told.

    Tex would have started last night under Powell.

    All my fault, it's the fans fault, patience, 48hrs, positivity, if not promotion this season we'll be in a better position next season

    Fuck off slade

    Why the hell did he travel? Did they just want to pee him off?

    Ok but in those games I never felt we were going to run riot according to reports last night we should have but couldn't finish.

    The performance was miles better than the what we have been offered.

    Slade made changes to see the game out and 5 minutes from time.

    He can't legislate for fox not being able to do a sunday league players job of hoofing it up field

    We were well on top v Wimbledon and better than Oldham. V Oxford both teams were poor.

    People there saying Fox played well. I wasn't there.

    I'm not calling for Slade to be sacked but that's 9 points dropped from winning positions. We'd be top 3 with those points.

    Something isn't right.
