Sounds dull as dish water, ref sounds like another clown, did nit figure us tonwin this.  Hope we have not thrown in the towel already cis Dack's gone off.

  Wigan making it look easy.

Tight Tony focusing on us not conceding. 

Hopefully we nick this

I believe "disjointed" is the accepted euphemism

[USABlue]

Williams can't head for toffee can he?

Well you could use it to describe Shane Duffy's pass to give Huddersfield an equaliser.

At least he’s proving he can assist as well as score o.g.’s! 

Would love a player with his enthusiasm right now though! 

[AdamRochina]

This is dire. No creativity at all.. need a moment of magic from someone ..

Let’s hope Tight Tony loosens up a bit second half, as this is as bad as Groundhog Gary

This is a pretty typical performance under Mowbray, but normally we have Dack on the pitch to do something special. Time for somebody else to step up. 

[USABlue]

One might think we were the team with nothing to play for.  What is wrong with this lot.  

[Roverthechimp]

Should have scored.

[USABlue]

Oh dear oh dear.

[AdamRochina]

No penalty ..the Graham misses glorious chance damn we needed that

Agreed, we are(were) first in the league, at home, against a time we should comfortable beat. Let’s take it to them and boost the goal difference. 

It’s got to be nerves or a shite game plan.

I need a drink

[Tom]

Appalling half from us, nowhere near good enough or enough desire shown, absolutely bizarre given our league status 

[Bigdoggsteel]

Ah, we always play better in the second half. Concerning we will need to do it without the main man though 

[Wing Wizard Windy Miller]

Well.

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

Much more needed this second half..not up to standard.

[skous18]

The best thing if we go up is that we wont have to play southend next year (y)

[Wing Wizard Windy Miller]

Game for Whittingham to earn his corn.  Need someone in the middle to put their foot on it and pick a pass.   Hook either Evans or Smallwood

[davulsukur]

Just got in. Why did Dack go off?

[Doaksie]

I think it's acknowledged as the season end approaches, the tension rises and the performances are harder to grind out as that pressure affects those split second decisions. Still confident we will have that little moment of class to edge over the line in this one though. 

[Exiled in Toronto]

They’ve had us figured out so far. Close our defenders down so they just punt it forwards, give away no free kicks in Charlie range, and focus on the hapless Williams and the non tackling back Armstrong. The only half decent thing so far has been the Conway/Bennett combo on the right. Payne is still looking like someone playing in the Blackburn Schools final.

You know how we’ve been saying that every match is a cup final? Someone needs to tell the players
