I've been one for positivity on the board in these tricky periods, but today was honestly quite inexcusable. Scoring both sides of the whistle to bring ourselves back into the game & then take control of it...and we just capitulated in the final half hour.
It does make you wonder about our mentality considering we're coming up to 2 years since we won from behind. And when you have the skipper of the team, the absolute leader giving away goals for fun like that...it's abysmal. I thought Derby might have finally been the turn of the side's mentality and we'd once again be able to nullify the threats and take control of the games, but we just let Wrexham keep at us for the whole 90, you never once felt like we were going to see it out after they got their third. I don't trust us at all to take our two games in hand seeing the way we are going about games at the minute. I dread to think how the playoffs might be if we're in them and go a goal down, either in the semis or at Wembley.
Full credit to them though, they pressed us high and worked incredibly hard, at times it was like they had 15 men on the pitch. Took their chances well and all.
We NEED a bounce back from this, with an ok away game on Tuesday night to put it right and then a run of three home's. 10/12 should be the absolute minimum if we are serious about catching Boro and Cov.
The silver lining was Boro's 0-0 but a pretty dreadful day other than that. Onwards and upwards.
I think I'm going to log off before we start seeing the McKenna out comments come through. [Post edited 21 Feb 17:06]

The alarm bell for me is the lack of leadership on the pitch. When something goes wrong, it goes horrifically wrong. There is no one to put their foot on the ball, calm things down and allow a reset. We spiral out of control instead. |  |

A big Morsy-shaped hole. |  |

Agreed, it's very alarming. When you think back to 23/24, every time we'd concede or go a goal down there was always a Morsy or Chappers putting the ball right back on the centre spot and offering encouragement. Our heads just go down now. | | | |

I thought we may have fixed it today. 1-0 and 2-1 down, but came back to 3-2 up. And then came the collapse after the equaliser. | |

That's the captains job. Problem is our captain is a major contributor to when things go wrong. |  | | |

When we went 3-2 I would have liked at that point to make a change to a 3 man midfield and really stop how Wrexham had been playing through us. Just shut things down a lot more. Take our perseverance and good fortune to be ahead again and then make it very difficult.
Instead just carried on in open / kamikaze style. |  | | |

Agreed, and with all of the OP as well. A very weak squad mentally. |  | | |

O'Shea was shocking today, looking at him play I know why now he has featured for THREE relegated teams in his career. Mentally weak + pure Kamikaze defending. | | | |
