Our team is set up to counter attack we are at times to slow with the ball when teams are defending and struggle to break them down

They went down to ten on 28 mins. Sharp should have been on at 35mins. I’m not making excuses but if I was a clubs main striker watching that, and seeing a centre half then Sbarra go on before me, and then have to wait until the 70th min to come on my blood would have been boiling.

Poor management cost us, Grant can’t / won’t change the game, and when he does it’s clueless, we were desperate for an overload in their box from 30mins, but he waited until 70mins to do anything about it. Clueless management, with no bottle.
I honestly thought that from 30mins to 45mins we did get at them and we went close on a number of occasions (Bromley-esque). However after 55 minutes we were right off it and that’s when I think GM should have gone for it with the subs he made on 70mins.
We did dominate RiS but apart from Gibson free kick and Street blazing over I can’t remember their keeper needed to do anything. They were there for the taking, a first half goal, or even a goal before 55mins and we’d have gone on to win 3 or 4-1. Allowing them to sit deep and soak up our impotent play for so long handed them the game. If we’d have gone for it we’d have won. A like for like centre half swap at half time is just ridiculously bad management.

Season ticket holder for 30 years darling. If you think that was acceptable today then you’re easily pleased.

Course you are!!

Yes it’s acceptable it’s a game of football involving 2 teams, every week you say it’s unacceptable yet we’re on the bring of automatic promotion, so you can’t be right I’m afraid

What an odd set of fans you’ve got at Donny. 1 point off an automatic promotion place with a game in hand and you’d think you’re staring relegation in the face judging by some of the comments on here. I guarantee that you’d have all taken this position at the start of the season.
Think some of you need a dose of reality.

Speaking of which, back to watching drivel at Hillsborough.

Exactly right

Hardly anything to lose sleep over. There's a reason they have only conceded 31 before today. They're a tough nut to crack.

Your constant negativity went beyond boring about 6 seasons ago

Agree with the OP. Totally inept with poor decision making on and off the pitch. To make it even worse, we shoot ourselves in the foot.

Wow. Constant? Remarkable. You’ll struggle to find much on here this season. Only called out shite like Clifton and Sbarra. Very little on the team really. But if you want your blood pressure to cloud your judgement then so be it. It’s not good for you. Let it go flower.

No doubt about it, we’re impotent against teams who ‘sit’. Not an attribute to take into the play-off’s!

What a terrible way to look at things and also wrong, I'm.pretty sure we beat Carlisle 2 weeks ago.

It's a great point today actually much better for us than them for sure.  But we absolutely need points from the next 2 this is the season now.

Again today it became a game we didn't want thanks to the sendings off. We started fairly well but surely McGrath and Anderson is the way to go?  Wood just doesn't look fit.

We need 80 points to get 3rd spot, maybe even less than that.
Our current form will get us to that, all this pissing and whining is ridiculous

We’ve comfortably beaten most teams that sit, it’s the better sides we struggle against.

Can someone please enlighten me - what does S’Barra bring to our play?

Partly answered today when Kelly came on (JS is not the worst midfielder we have). Also, anyone seen Crew? Has he gone back to Leeds?

Crew was was there today Alan, saw him walking around the ground. I was amazed when Sbarra came on, I genuinely don't see what Grant thought bringing him on, I'm not one for criticising players, but his introduction offered us absolutely nothing against the 10 men, he can't unlock a defence, no intelligent runs or find pockets of space, just receiving the ball with his back to goal & giving balls square or back. Just don't get it.

A post started by a clueless idiot and a host full of other clueless idiots contributing.
Get a grip!
People talking like we’re in a relegation battle rather than on the brink of automatic promotion
Unbelievable
We were  up against 10 men for a large part of the game and the players looked clueless as to how to open up with an extra player going forward !! No crosses no shots playing long balls into nobodies instead of moving the ball around the pitch and asking Wimbledon to chance the play more  , but what do we do nothing different until Sharp gets his marching orders ..

Last week Sbarra came on at 0-0 and we won 2-0 with one of the goals being made from him, so made sense to me to try that again.
It’s a good result, we’re in a better position than we were this morning yet it’s so negative on here. It’s crazy

This is not a whine and it's not about form. It's about a relection of the performance today and how the players and the manager didn't do the right things, the simple things at the right time and lost our patience (not just Billy's stupidity).

When u go down to ten men you don’t lose a player from the defence and you just sit in. So it’s far from easy to break a team down that has 8-9 players behind the ball

Watch the game back on player. We were dominant after they scored. Second half we fell apart. Weird.

IMO i think Grant should have brought Joe Ironside on kept Street on for his pace and put the two wingers back to their favoured sides,  get to the by - line and put crosses in instead of cutting inside which clearly wasn't working their defence knew what both Moly and Gibbo were going to do and it was easy to defend, sorry but dropped points down to Grant's tactics

you’re not ok lad. Imagine being on holiday enjoying a drink or whatever you’re doing and you’re sat on your phone trolling someone on the t’internet, who went to the game in the flesh, for having an opinion on it that nearly everyone else shares. You must be having a pretty shit time.
You seem to go toe to toe with someone every week. It’s not rational. Get some help for that anger. It’s good to talk.

Are you on the wind up, I never said it wasn't a good point, & my point stands the Sbarra substitution was a pointless one, he wasn't the answer against 10 men. Your comment regarding he made one last week, you mean the one where the keeper should thrown his hat on it, never mind parry it. I knew you wouldn't be long dissing other posters comments & opinions on the game with your petty little insults.

And obviously Wimbledon and Notts haven’t gained on us.
Not all bad, but we have to win Tuesday.
