Is a very poor take on that game and ignores a complete Pandora's box of problems. We were ruddy awful......

Oh give over. Rotherham threw the kitchen sink at us. They had nothing to lose. Fair play to them. We were out on our feet after a gruelling game on a sticky pitch at Swansea. Give our players credit for sticking with it. Could have sulked for a 3-3 but no, we found a way.
Games coming thick and fast, don't over analyse. We have 69 points with a quarter of the season to play. Sunderland finished sixth with that last season. |  | | |

Wednesday away, Saturday away, Tuesday home, 9 points.
Performance was admittedly rough tonight, but win when you’re playing badly is a positive. I wouldn’t want to be in the post game analysis of that one as a player though.
I do think we looked tired in this one which is no surprise. |  | | |

45 minutes of the worst we've arguably been in over 2 years doesn't constitute a pandora's box of problems. It means we had a very poor half of football and can put it right again in 4 days' time. |  | | |

We’re all emotional at times, but wow. I get that it’s hard to process a win that feels like a loss but tell us more about the box of problems, please |  |

Jesus wept.
You can guarantee we will be miles better than that on Saturday. Have we ever had back to back poor performances under McKenna? | | | |

It’s the business end of the season where the prizes are there to be taken. It doesn’t matter how you win, just win.
Who remembers and frets over the Port Vale game last season? Nobody because we ground out a win and it proved crucial. Who’s to say three points from ‘ruddy awful’ won’t prove just as crucial?
Should we have buried these Millwall style? Of course. But sport isn’t like that. If it was, where’s the fun? |  | | |

QPR and Stoke? But there were mitigating circumstances. And neither were as bad as tonight. | |

We were poor defensively but we were actually pretty clinical going forwards.
3 wins on the spin is class. Let's keep pushing. |  |

I'm don't agree we have a "Pandora's box" of problems but I think the last three games have been in the top five of our worst performances of the season across 90 minutes. OK, against Millwall we didn't really have to try. But Swansea and Rotherham offer a slight concern to me as, even though we're picking up points, it's a case of falling on the right side of fine margins, which cannot last.
For the most part, we were playing better during the 'run' than now but not getting the result. Now it feels like the performances have dropped off but we're getting the rub of the green. The luck won't last. We might have to fight past Birmingham on fumes, then hopefully the week's gap will serve us well.
I think I'm actually happy Maidstone knocked us out of the FA Cup now. I wouldn't have fancied a trip to Coventry next week. | |

Jesus Christ, let's not overreact, yeah?
Never heard so much OTT garbage. It's a bad game, one which has been rare over the past 18 months or so. Log off, go to bed, sleep on it and re-evaluate your opinion in a few days. |  |

Two away trips and a home game in 6 days at this stage in a tough season, and we won them all. Forget the performance we got the points, is exactly what you should do.
Only 3 teams have managed to beat us and we have lost the least games of any club in the league. After playing a level below 9 months ago.
That is not a Pandora's box of problems under any perspective. | | | |

To not be able to cope with long balls just pumped into the box is pretty poor defending at this level.... | | | |

Most of the Championship failed to cope with just that from Luton last year. That’s why they’re £100m rich this year.
When done well with the right players, the hoof is still an effective tactic, regardless of how unbearable to watch it is. | | | |

Obviously most teams can cope with it otherwise Rotherham wouldn't be in the relegation zone...... | | | |

FFS pandoras box of problems. Give over you wipe.
Yes we were poor tonight, but we won and we have 69 points from 33 games....yes a real pandora's box of problems.
I despair the thought process of some of our fans sometimes |  |

We won and they’re still bottom.
Leeds and Southampton struggled against them - a couple of draws as indeed we did at their place. Norwich, Cov and Middlesbrough even managed to lose to them. It happens. | | | |

In the cold light of day maybe "Pandora's box" was a little OTT but there's no getting away from the fact that the same old defensive problems keep rearing their ugly head and we don't appear to be learning.
Love the club, love the players, love KM and co. but my nerves are frazzled.

Well, yes, nobody is going to argue that getting out of jail on the 5th minute of added time isn't causing us stress. For some of us of a certain age, watching this team is a significant health issue with stress and adrenaline. As you say, the defending has much to do with this.
Cause of death 'heart attack brought on by Ipswich Town Football Club inability to defend' might be on my DC. | | | |
