We have benefited ourselves from very late goals this season--Derby H, Bristol City H, WBA H, Millwall A so I have no gripe with the timing of their goal--it balances itself out ovva a season. What I have an issue with is our defending for their winner. Their player picks the ball up near the heyf way line

- he goes past Thomas easily, no tackle, An "old pro" would have "tekken one for the team" at that stage of the game and brought him down, getting booked if need be.
- he goes past Williams as if Williams is towing a truck
- two or three fail to cut the cross out
-their goalscorer unmarked at far post and then the new lad Ludweg turns his back on his shot rather than moving close to get a block in.

We move on.
That is why we need experience as yourself and many others on here have identified for months .

The nuts n bolts of the game , seeing a game out and taking an away point , knowing how to do that , when to commit a foul and take the yellow , game management in a nutshell .

Yes it's harsh having played the better football but this is the championship and a relegation scrap , the better football counts for feck all if naivety throws the point away in the 88th minute .

The Bristol lad bends one in from 25 yards and fair play you take it on the chin but to give a goal away like we did yesterday is quite frankly unnecessary .

Fecking wake up club , smell the coffee and give this HC the tools he needs .

The alternative is another league one campaign with absolutely no guarantees of anything .

Easier to put this right in the next two weeks than face another 46 game dog fight in league one minus the loss of some of our better young players .

If you think Woodrow , Chaplin , Brown and Mowatt want to be at Accrington and Lincoln in a Barnsley shirt next season ....... think again .

Take some replacing will those four with the budget significantly cut even a level lower .
