The subbing off of Moncur again looks an odd decision now.

No pressure from Hunt on the cross.

Happe and Beckles both marking the same striker.

No midfielder tracking back with the goal scorer.

Nothing to do with taking Moncur off, everything to do with taking El Miz off.

I meant more generally, in keeping control of possession.

Beckles heads a James free kick off the top of the bar.

They’ve hardly been in our box, aside from the equaliser…

RW is in danger of overthinking things imo. The obvious sub today was Pratley on a yellow. A midfield of Clay, Pratley and Brown won't win you anything.

Has that feeling of the players thinking job done once Smyth scores that worldie. Can't coast through games like that.

Most definitely two points dropped today.

This game was completely in our grasp, and it’s disappointing that we could manage a pretty meek comeback effort from Donny and stay on top.

Snatched a draw out of the mouth of victory. Off the top but a game in hand. O's have really got to start taking all these chances and putting them away.

Got to take our chances but I’d have taken a point away at donny before the game.

Sounds like sloppy defending has cost us again.

Or you could say our attackers are letting us down. Defence can’t be expected to keep a clean sheet every week…

This is what’s so disappointing . It’s the same as last week . We were the better team but complacency is creeping in at the back .

Definitely need to take more of our chances when we’re so dominant in games .

We need to stick the ball in the net more. Not many goals lately and we've paid the price.

Yep Donny's goal wouldn't have mattered if we had been 3-0 up.

Let’s put it in perspective we have dropped 7 points out of 12 games who wouldn’t have taken that looking at pre season results. If Stevenage are above us at end of season I’ll start supporting Salford. 😳🤪😜
