First things first: the Bolton game was an abomination. The second half capitulation in particular was a disgrace.
But in the matches before that, we've dropped 8 points due to individual errors, not from absolutely woeful team performances:
Morecambe - Woolfenden howler (2 points dropped)
Burton - Fraser misses a penalty and then we give away a late penalty (3 points dropped)
Cheltenham - Bonne misses from 1 inch out to go 2-0 up (1 point dropped)
MK Dons - Evans howler (2 points dropped)
I would even argue in the Bolton game that, if KVY doesn't make a ridiculous challenge for their penalty and Bonne doesn't miss the target when unmarked from 10 yards out just before half-time, we go in 3-1 up rather than 2-3 down.
Of course we haven't gelled as quickly as we all hoped, and the midfield pair in particular need to learn their roles fast. But individual errors like the ones I've mentioned have nothing to do with a new team not gelling. Without these individual errors, we'd be on 11 points and just outside the play-off spots. |  | | |  |

How about the individual errors from our opposition that allowed us to score our goals? Can you take those into account and redo the league? |  |

Take away the oggy, and their player falling over trying to challenge burns, and we score nil on Saturday.
Of course there have been errors, it's division 3 ffs.
The way we are setting the team up at the moment has massive issues, regardless of errors. |  |

He used to do a lot of that when people were pointing out that Lambert was crap, but people ignored it because he did good pressers and once bought them a warm, not-very-fizzy lager.
And beyond. when even Dollers had worked out that Lambert was crap. [Post edited 13 Sep 2021 14:28]

You could tell a similar story about most football matches.
I think it's fair to say that prior to Saturday we could feel a little hard done by in terms of results. We'd had (marginally) more of the play and more of the chances in all 5 games we'd played and been punished heavily for every mistake with some unusually efficient opposition finishing. Being able to marginally outplay bottom half teams isn't anywhere near the standard we'll need to reach eventually, but yeah we probably merited more points.
Saturday was a team unravelling. |  |

Probably more. It must be even harder to track your winger when you've got a bag of spanners slung over your shoulder. |  |

This. It's not just 'individual errors' now, it's starting to look like 'inadequate coaching', particularly give that we've just had two weeks to work on ironing out basic, daft errors. | |

Bit of a so what?
Without 3 individual defensive errors, Leeds would have drawn 0-0 with Liverpool yesterday.
Joe Royle used to say that every goal ever conceded is down to one or more individual errors.
In cricket, no batsman would ever get out without having made an individual error. In golf, every shot above par is down to individual error etc etc |  | | |

Guys, if we'd simply have won all our games 3-0, we'd be top of the league!

We tried 'keep changing the side and hoping for the best' under Lambert... | |

There's a lot of comparing apples to oranges here.
Of course 90% of goals conceded have a defensive error somewhere.
But I'm talking about the howlers from Woolfenden and Evans (literally directly assisting goals to the opposition) and Bonne missing an open goal from less than a metre out. Those three incidents are very different to poor defensive positioning or a missed header etc... | | | |

Maybe if we scored more goals and weren’t conceding 2+ per game, then individual errors wouldn’t be so pivotal… |  |

What about all the structural failings? Five goals conceded from set pieces versus Cheltenham, MK and Wimbledon. Or the defence totally melting away having been caught out (Morecombe, Burton and several times last Saturday).
We're a mess defensively and thinking it's just about individuals is being blindly optimistic. |  |
