    Rescued a draw there... Shouldnt be giving teams such a headstart!!

    Great to see the players once again showing the desire and commitment to come back from 2-0 down

    Bit more composure and luck in front of goal it could have been very different

    Hopefully we've got a few defence minded players coming in before the Window closes now - I've commented plenty of times on Peterborough always having a poor defence (which costs them promotion), have felt for a few weeks we're copying their blueprint.

    Be curious to see how injured Maatsen is now, been a few calls of Purrington to replace him today but think thats a given Tuesday night
  • we played well and should've won. lets get revenge on MK dons now.

    Such a lack.of urgency at the end when it was 2-2
    F-C playing with his hair. Pearce giving away free kicks. Amos taking an age to take a goal kick. I don't get it?

    We must have had 10 good chances but the finishing was poor. Swindon created one chance all game and scored twice. Our surreal luck continues.

    It's hard to remember the last time I felt so frustrated. Especially with Washington taking it round the keeper at the end there. It's hard to be too critical because they played quite well and created a lot but at the same time, I can't help but feel like I dislike this team. They just don't do it when it counts. 

    We're dropping in the table and the teams above us have 2-3 games in hand. We need a massive run to be in contention again.

    Not good enough again. Swindon are woefull ffs and we can’t beat them
  • On another day we'd have won that easily, we had enough chances. 

    But ultimately it's not good enough and we're going to be too far behind soon.

    5 points from 6 games in January.
    15 points from the last 14 games.
    9th worst defensive record in the division.
  • We would be a cracking side with a back four of Gunter, Inniss, Famewo, Maatsen.

    Centre half a huge priority.

    2 points dropped - gutted.

    Attacking we are probably one of the best sides in the league. Thought millar was fantastic today. Defensively shambolic... I reckon I'd have saved that first goal! Matthews didn't help by letting him inside though. Take our chances, we win. Defender needed desperately. Swindon were a bag of shit.

    I think we've actually looked pretty good the last 3.5 games. But still not picking up results.
    I don't

    I haven't seen a single person say that.  But let's not let facts get in the way.

    Strange game. Played pretty well going forward, created loads of chances and on another day might have had 4 or 5 but yet again defensive failings meant we were chasing the game. 2-2 looks ok given we were two down at half time but ultimately we’ve again dropped two points to a poor side who’ll be fighting relegation come the end of the season. Very disappointing.

  • Should have won . Washington must score that . Another ruined afternoon  .

    Once again, we give ourselves a mountain to climb by letting in sloppy goals 

    really feel for Schwartz who just didn’t get any service today, similarly to Bogle , and just dependant on scraps.

    with two huge players in aneke and stockley- we don’t want to cross the ball into the box nor play the long ball, why!? 

    As have said the last God knows how many weeks , just don’t know when or how points are going to come , there’s no consistency or commitment to tactics! 

    We’ve brought in yet another striker , who wasn’t given the service , and decided against a defender/CB - why? Are we so confident that famewo will be back soon?

    frustrating! 

    Looked at the starting 11 and really thought it was a winning side , yet we make teams (regardless of position and form) look fantastic

    Players need tactics and confidence.
  • I just don’t know how we didn’t win that.
    Because we gave them a 2 goal start simples really - always chasing the game with little or no confidence

    Brownie talks a lot of sense. Good mixture of ex player/fan point of view.

    Getting the hump keep chasing games, doing my head in 
  • Not good enough.
    Nobody here should be happy that we drew 2-2 at home with Swindon. Even after being 2-0 down

    Not happy

    I agree. Just have a feeling we’ll get another few games out of those two and one will get a season ending injury.

    I wouldn’t mind someone big alongside Deji as we miss that aerial presence so much. 
  • I still can't believe it. We were by far the better side today, creating so so many chances. Again individual mistakes cost us. Bowyer has got it wrong a lot over the past few months, but can't see it today. We played really well, apart from maybe the last ten minutes before the break. Should have taken the three points easily. 
  • Shinnie, Morgan, JFC and Millar have to start in the midfield for me all the time if we're playing 4.

    I don't want to see Pratley or Watson anywhere near the starting starting XI.

    Scrappy comeback doesn’t excuse this run. Bowyer has to go.

    Overall really poor, we simply play well in spells but are so shit and disorganised at the back it’s unreal.

    Keeper played as bad as I have seen him this season.

    Forwards missed so many open goals.

    Overall very unprofessional, relegation form at present.

    Please bear in mind Swindon are garbage.

    Things that we need to keep. The diamond formation with Millar at the top of it, Matthews at right back and Shinnie in the team.

    How the hell we keep going behind by a goal or 2 in games is absolutely shocking.

    This season is going the way of last season. We will hang on to 6th place and miss out on the play offs on the final game.

    He's not getting it wrong in the selection anymore, but clearly something is wrong with the coaching. Every player we've got has regressed this season, and our defence is getting worse and wors
    He’s getting wrong for a new reason.... that’s convenient.

    He’s not above criticism, but the defence and injuries have always been the issue

    These players in that line up should never be going two down at home to Swindon. The team is easily play off quality but the results haven't been there for far too long.

    Celebrating a comeback against a team in the relegation zone shows just how far we've fallen and nothing else.
