That’s why 82% possession means nothing with no end product. Thrown the game away.

subs on now when its all too late

With the latest subs, everyone looks a bit confused where they are playing

It’s like Tuesday, Burton have had two attempts on goal, 2 goals. FFS

All over.
Very disappointing.

Completely threw that away. Just infuriating.

So much control of the game, good lead at HT
Couldn't take advantage of hitting them on the break second half
Another awful sloppy error to turn the game with the equaliser

Injuries and suspension accepted, this game still showed why promotion to the championship would do us no favours this season.
Not ready yet, but next season, maybe?

Totally agree.

So disappointing - chance to get really close to teams above us. Soteriou went back to missing instead of scoring, but good to see Sanders back. Sounds as though Forde needs a week off, it's been a tiring schedule for the youngster. Big game next week!

That’s a properly disappointing result. That should have been three straight wins that would have taken us to within 2 points of the playoffs, ffs. Instead we’ve got 3 points instead of 9.

once again we concede straight after a double substitution.
Would the coaching staff "get the rag out" and tell the players to concentrate better at this time !

Richie partly to blame. We were under the cosh all second half. I couldn't believe he didnt make a change. I know he hasn't got a fully fit bench but we were getting deeper and deeper. Doesn't help when you goalie cocks up twice for both goals.

Let’s all sit back , enjoy the rest of the season, and see where it takes us, in reality talk of the playoffs was just that. Up the O’s

Seeing Jordan Graham on the stream just reminds me what we were missing. He came in and was a bit more direct and continued to put in crosses.

Today whether it’s coming from upstairs or if it’s a confidence thing but we seemed to be frightened to lose possession. No good having the ball all game, you have to do something with it. If Burton didn’t just show us that I don’t know what will. Threw that away. So disappointing.

Tbf much like the Barnsley game it turns on the first mistake / goal. Conceding sloppy set pieces after is frustrating but you can't gift L1 sides a free goal.

Well done Burton, RW was clueless

Tbf you could see how shattered they were. Even the subs didn’t look up to speed. I think RW could have acted earlier but our schedule has been crazy, with a thin squad. Burton didn’t play in the week and it showed

The Brown suspension was one missing player too far today along with all our injury woes I think

Unbelievable, Ritchie is clueless all of a sudden?
2 losses on 10 games, beating Portsmouth & Bolton in that run aswell, wins manager of the month & we lose a game & he's clueless.
There's only one person who is clueless & it's the embarrassing Muppet above.

I agree and anyway this season was only about consolidating ourselves at this level .I've always seen the benchmark for League One safety as 52 points therefore we only need four more points and we've achieved our main objective .
