From another atrocious game of "football".

We'll be happier with the point as they were the better side. The difference being that they weren't that clinical and we scored from a moment of magic from McAtee. Their goal was a carbon copy of the one we conceded at Southampton and another unmarked player scores against us, which happens with alarming regularity.

I don't know what our players do in training, but it isn't controlling the ball and passing to a team mate. We can't string together enough passes to put together an attacking move more than a handful of times in a game and we constantly give the ball back to the opposition.

Lloyd ran his nuts off and got nothing from the ref again, but the rest were mediocre. The best player on the pitch was their No2 Norman.

Fed up of going to BP and watching such poor fare game after game.

At risk of upsetting a few, I can’t honestly see what Holohan brings to the team. His first four passes lost possession. Emmanuel had his worst game for the club and yet, but for one dreadful piece of marking (same culprit), we’d have got three points.

Obviously McAtee MoM for the one bit of quality in the game.

Not sure anyone comes out of that with much praise. Our first thought, even when not under pressure, seemed to be to just lump it forward, half of the time blind. At the beginning of the season, we were actually playing some good passing football, now we can't string 3 passes together.

Strangely, Smith improved us when he came on and made more passes and was more progressive than anyone else.

Unfortunately Efete was at fault for their goal, as he was for Southampton's, which is pretty poor.

After finally watching an entertaining game against Northampton it’s back to same old at home. Just utter rubbish, could hardly string two passes together. A great goal from McAtee was the only positive point of the evening, although I guess we didn’t lose.

I’m not one to usually moan about the referee but although there was no big decisions I can’t recall a decision going in towns favour. Worst of the season.

The Southampton goal Efete sees the danger late tries to get to the back post but Waterfall literally pushes him the other way as he turned, watch it on slowmo.

With the best will in the world, the ref was a long way from the worst this season.

Agree with all that and regards Norman, if he played like that most weeks, would love him here

I’ve never seen the ball in the air so much in 40 odd years of watching town, they simply can’t be bothered to take a touch and look for a pass. FairPlay to Macca and Lloyd who kept plugging away

Dreadful
We will be in big trouble if we give the ball away as much at Brighton
