Changing the subject from ifs & buts re. performances, what a great goal from Vik got on the rough end of a cross prepared to get hurt and powered a header in. Hasn’t been the best at high crosses but if he adds that string to his bow what a player we’ll have on our books

Vik, Godden, Hamer, Eccles and Bidwell all looked dead on their feet at the end

Hopefully they get a few days off in the week!

Substitutions early proved a shrewd decision,did feel walker for godden should have happened same time ,just my opinion,felt that opening 20 minutes was our chance to add another goal as they were not at our level.Move on to Blackpool as playoffs fading fast but another unbeaten game will be great.
Great to see sheaf who was superb 2nd half.

Suppose once they get dropped back to Ryton, they've then got to go back from there.

Thriught we were better team and should have win. Credit to robins for making the half time subs. Made a big difference.

We need to score more. Thought godden should have come off.

We can still reach 79 PTS but yeah playoffs looking bit tougher than a few hours ago.

Still unbeaten though. Let's remain positive.

Can't really blame a paper thin squad when your forwards are both dead on their feet and we've missed 5 good chances, all while leaving Walker on the bench. Considering Robins was a striker himself and must understand how confidence affects a strikers game, his treatment of Walker has been very rough. Scores in consecutive games, dropped. Finally get another goal, unused sub for 2 games.

Above all this I can't help but keep zoning in on how good McNally is. We definitely need to make a punt to sign him if we can. He's top drawer at this level and still young.

Surely There attacker is offside when the ball gets put into the middle before the deflection.

Well even though I was convinced we wouldn't get to the play offs that result still stings the morning after.
Never say never but I think that's our chances done now.
Still been a decent season all things considered.

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.

I didn’t expect us to make the playoffs and think it would have been overachieving but I am a bit annoyed we have dropped 4 points in the last two games. Shows how close we are I guess.

In a nutshell the squad is too small. But really it has been for years

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.

I’m quite surprised because MR has been much more proactive with subs recently but last night we were just waiting for them to equalise.

They battled and got stuck in (unlike Huddersfield), Think if the pitch had been better, we'd have won.

Just been on the Wigan forum, and should have realised we had no chance, due to an unfair advantage, that I'd not spotted during the game....


If you listen to Shaun's after match comments he explained why he took Christ off and the other substitutions. He said Christ had a great first half but he needed to open the game up as a draw is no good to us now and he wanted us to go for it which is fair enough in my book

Not a classic last night, weather didn’t help. I thought they were sharper than us first half and felt sorry for Maguire going off at HT as I thought he did okay. What do I know though as Sheaf changed the game and we were much better second half.
We really need to put our chances away though. Goddan should have scored first half and Hammer at the end. Overall I think a draw was a fair result.

Another game where an unlucky deflection leads to a goal against us.
We are running out of games for the luck to even out and turn in our favour

Watching the goal again, if I'm to criticise JWE for the Sunderland goal the same applies to Bidwell for last night. He was flat footed and slow to get to Nyamby

McNally could have headed the clearance better too.

But he's been class so harsh to focus on it for too long.

Look no game is easy. We will win a game we expected to lose at some point. Let's just try get back to winning ways on weekend

If that is the case, then Robins should of used the squad more last night. We have a 2 week break after Saturday which should give the team the rest they need. Wilson Esbrand, Rose and Walker should of all started, and we should of given rests to Bidwell, Hamer, Vik and Doyle. McGuire looked alright for 45 but was then replaced, he should of taken Godden off for Sheaf, and stuck McGuire behind Vik.

Disappointing result. We let them back in the game after we'd scored and the crowd actually started making some noise. McFadz couldn't do much about the deflection. Shame Hamer couldn't do more with the chance right at the end there.

I hate the M6.

What a shit drive home after the game. Got in at 1.50 this morning.
As for the game, missed chances again cost us the points.
i thought the ht subs made a big difference.
BNC gave us some drive and width and sheaf offered more control in the middle.
Pitch was awful. It looked like players were struggling with it.
Like others have said it was crying out for Walker for the last 10-15 minutes.
