What a frustrating performance. Should have finished that off. Would have expected Godden to have taken at least one of his chances. Walker should have replaced him at some point.
On the plus side, Sheaf looked sharp.

Wigan scrapping for their lives. Yeah but absolutely none of it was of any good quality. Like Saturday, we were so disjointed and crap on the ball.

Who knew we’d miss Allen as much as we do.

They pissed all over us first half. They forced a good goal.

Very disappointing result, we should have had enough to beat the bottom team,

TBF, we'll probably beat Blackpool on Saturday after they won 6-1 tonight.

He's a bit rusty at the moment if Gyok had missed some of those he'd be strung up. Can't think of a chance Gyok had apart from the goal.

Much too early to say the season is over - I just hope the players aren’t that defeatist with nine games to go.

Play off hunt pretty much gone after these two results, but for what Robins has had to work with this season it's been a fantastic effort. Just another case where we're left wondering what might have been without a wafer thin squad.

Such a frustrating game. Godden and Vik looked dead on their feet last twenty, what’s Walker got to do for some minutes?

Sheaf made such a difference. We need to cut this habit of dropping deep after we take the lead.

I can’t believe we didn’t make a sub in the 15-20 before they equalised. We looked dead on our feet.

Watch us lose to Blackpool now too, 2 points from a possible 9 against 3 lower half teams

We still had enough chances to win it.

Poor really. Poor tactics first half cost us.

If we started with the team most of recommended ie 2nd half. Then we would have won that.

One look at the table and it's clear it's over. Blackburn win and we are so far behind we may as well give Moore a game.

Dabo turned up late to Ryton apparently. Rocked up just as the coach was pulling away, he tried chasing the bus down but ended up pulling his hamstring. Double whammy.

Win 7 of our last 9 and more than often than not, that’s enough points to finish in the top six.

Not saying it’s likely but it’s surely preferable to try rather than just give up in mid-March?

Most frustrating seeing Luton probably make the play offs second season running because they can make better use of similar funds. That said it shouldn't take away from how Robins has performed under very challenging circumstances.

I'd pay for your season ticket next season if we won 7 out of 9. Never happening.

Goddens USP is scoring. Its seemingly been previously accepted that as long as he scores we can live with him not offering much else.

But a) it seems to take him more chances to score now and b) if we want to be in the promotion hunt we cannot carry a player like that.

Can still be used in a super sub type role, but not a consistent Championship starter imo.

It was the last 2 and the next 1 that would define the rest of season and I think we’re done. Still a miracle after the start tbf

The disapointment was we turned a 90 minute opportunity into a 45 minute one.

But we still had opportunities to win it.

Wigan worked their socks off tonight and deserved a point.

Still plenty of points to go for so keep the faith because other teams will fuck up too.

How frustrating. Honestly expected them to fold and us to score a couple more after the goal. Fair play both sides though, it was a proper slog.

BNC….. what a shoddy cameo. Didn’t beat a man once and his delivery was woeful. Thought he’d been improving of late but that was dogpiss. Godden has to do better with that chance toward the end, weak foot or not.

Thought Wigan looked better than bottom of the league, and their manager made attacking substitutions, they were a bit of a handful. The real issue, as Robins said earlier in the week, is that we don’t score enough goals. The possession we had for the first 30 minutes of the second half should have enabled us to score again and put the game beyond them. It did cry out for fresh legs up top.

Made worse by the fact he's injured every 5 mins.

As I said, I am not too disappointed. Mind, I had given up on the playoffs some time ago, so maybe that's why I am not as frustrated as others on here.

We should have won the game and it took a very unlucky deflection to rob us of all 3 points.

I certainly wouldn’t. Absolutely horrendous player.

For the past 3/4 games I’ve refrained from posting my thoughts on him in the hope that he may come good once he ‘beds in’ or may at least contributes positively in some manner…. Yet, he hasn’t.

Offers no threat offensively, no cover in defence and loses the ball constantly. Dabo and Burroughs in this position are just fine for me. Send this gangly clown back to Arsenal’s 23’s.

We're not going to do that if we can't beat dross like Wigan, you can't just drop off like we did and the manager has got to recognise it much quicker. He as per a few occasions just watched it happen. We needed some impetus but just dropped back further and further.

As some have alluded to hear. Godden is not sharp enough. When we were on top we should buried this team.

Eccles criminal not put Vik through for an easy chance.
