Can’t believe the crying and outrage about losing a dead rubber 14:26 - Apr 16 with 4156 viewsSitfcB

That many expected us to lose anyway (again)

To a team fighting for automatic promotion.

The season died after Cambridge at home.

Chill.

Similar attitude to the players seemingly - who cares?

Indeed.
Have enjoyed young Baggott's debut performance. Not all doom and gloom is it.

We have no village green, or a shop. It's very, very quiet. I can walk to the pub.

Because we aren't playing youngsters. This is the side that many preach will be here next season and its been painful how owned we've been by them.

KM hasn't shown in this game the same as some others that he has an idea of how to change the flow of a game if its not us in control.

People don't like to dicuss football unless it's positive, that's a shame but that doesn't mean things can't be said because it's seem as a dead game. It's not. It's a competitive fixture playing our best lineup.

It’s only a dead rubber because if the ineptitude through throughout the season. The fact we are still doing it should attract criticism shouldn’t it?

Maybe we just give them a free pass and a pat on the back and hope they play better next year?

TBH we need to stop making these excuses for them. The simple fact is, whether a must-win or a dead rubber, it isn’t good enough. Same old story for many a year.

Temper your expectations chaps.

People said the same under Cook when we were putting in poor performances at the end of last year, look how that turned out. It’s a pattern that has emerged through the last couple of months and it needs to change or we won’t be going anywhere.

But certain players still have a point to prove it they want to be part of the squad next season, but they didn't play like it did they?

It’s not the losing, it’s the performance. This second half has been no better than Cook’s attempt against Rotherham earlier in the season.

It was wrong PC got a free pass

It's wrong KM gets moaned about....

Which is it. Either a free pass is allowed for all managers or all rightly get discussed on their overall performance.

Team fighting for automatic promotion v team not playing for anything, was always going to be the case. I was surprised it wasn’t like it in the first half.

I’d say if you’re contributing towards someone earning around £8000 a week, you’re entitled to expect them to put in a shift for 90 minutes.
I don’t mind mistakes but the apathy in this last 20 minutes isn’t great

We haven’t laid a glove on them since going behind.

Very poor

Ah if only someone told Cambridge that you’re not allowed to beat teams going for promotion when you have nothing to play for yourselves.

The best thing about it is that maybe we won't have to play them next season.

But we have been second best to Rotherham for several seasons now. It is exactly this sort of team we need to learn to beat 7 or 8 times out of 10.

And then there is Paul Warne too.

At least we are not 9th.

Not seen any poster trying to justify the poor 2nd half.

Baggott's performance was encouraging though.

What’s your excuse for Cambridge? Team with nothing to play for supposedly should give up aga8nst a side going for the play offs. Instead…

We haven’t been going for promotion at any point this season. Even had we beaten Cambridge it was still going to be a long shot.
