So annoying, not one shot on target that I can recall. Awful midfield, it should be two or three for them, but for people making up for other's mistakes.

Annoying is putting it mildly. 

Regardless what has gone before this has been pretty disgraceful.  Honestly can't see us stepping it up now and getting back on it.

That side hasn't won since December

Today, they could have won 3 or 4-0

We didn't even force a save from the keeper until the 87th minute!

The only thing they can do, to make up for this is to beat Cheltenham and Lincoln convincingly.

Earlier in the season when we played sides that put 11 men behind the ball, we battered sides down the wings, put balls into the box and scored. The attacking play today was worse than Sunday league!

Nothing like that at all today.

Easily the worst performance this season and hopefully that's the last of it.

An absolute disgrace of a "performance" by the entire squad and Moore's lack of a Plan B showing through

We deserved absolutely nothing, really should have lost 3 Nil

A classic game of thinking it was won before kick off, underestimating the opposition and not being able to change it when needed

The loss of Byers and Windass doesn't help but that was about poor mentality ourside v excellent mentality there's 

Both Ipswich and Barnsley now firmly in the top 2 picture, and with momentum as well

Got what we deserved, absolutely nothing, we carry on like this & we'll bottle automatics at this rate, that today was nothing short of shambolic.

We've well & truly bottled that today, some of those players on that pitch need to look hard in the mirror & see if they can hack being at a club that demands getting out this division.

Agreed, injuries and the lack of recruitment in January has done us.

It was a gamble to keep it simple but the last few games has shown us up in terms of the lack of depth in certain areas, and without a doubt, off of the back of this performance, certain players should not be featuring for us again

I think this has been our worst performance since we have been in League One.

We have lost 1-0 to a side who have picked up 3 points in the last 16. And it should have been more, they’ve missed two sitters while haven’t worked the goal keeper and we were outworked.

To many players didn’t put the shift in today. Bakinson, Adeniran were dreadful. Iorfa really poor, Smith really poor.

Is the pressure getting to us? I don’t think so, but the least you can do is match the oppositions work rate and we didn’t do that.

Still in our hands, but Tuesday and Saturday are now absolute must wins. Ipswich and Plymouth are rolling teams over with ease.

THIS. If come the end of next week, we've pulled 7 points from 15 rather than the 1 from 9 we currently have. It'll be a little less nervy!

We will lose v Cheltenham - the attitude of this side will crack under the pressure sadly.

If we look back the actual performances haven't been great since Plymouth at home, finally it is coming home to roost.

Simply don't get why we didn't go 4 4 2 at HT to wrest control of the game higher up the pitch

The crossing quality all game was abject. Smith and Gregory were not great but got zero service.

Well thats rubbish to start

If the performances in this division at Charlton and Portsmouth weren't great, then what were they?

We could be playing today and both those sides still wouldn't have scored

I’ll be interested to know if Wilks was left out for tactics or fitness. We needed an other option to change it.

That’s as poor as it gets.

Their commitment won it for them.

Sky pundits slagging Iorfa for their goal. He should have closed them down but he just wasn’t positive enough probably why he got hooked. Struggling to think of any decent chance’s apart for the one Gregory and Smith went for.

Time for teams and fans to stick together. Yes that was rubbish but not a time for implosion please.

But equally smiling and simply carry on would not do any favours

The least we expect is energy, commitment and a bit of fight. That was sadly lacking compared to Tuesday night

I don't concur that the January transfer window would have been ground breaking. The players we apparently could have signed are invariably brilliant - well until they get on the pitch

Just feels like we thought we could turn up and win today, without having to apply ourselves. 

I agree with that AND we didn’t seem to have a clue on how to create chances. Not starting Vaulks and Bannan was a mistake even if DM did want to to give players a rest. Take them off at 60mins, not the other way round.

Wilks has been a real disappointment, I would rather see Cadamarteri on the bench.

They were OK performances for a team going for promotion but not great 

To me we have had too many borderline games where it could go either way and now we find ourselves on the wrong side

Agree on that, the attitude stank today

When Milton Keynes came to Hillsborough and took the lead twice against us, we swarmed all over them and scored 5. 

That same attitude should have applied after going a goal behind. 

Felt like I was watching a team managed by Jos Luhakay/Garry Monk/Tony Pulis/Alan Irvine/Gary Megson today.

No such thing as momentum in football ffs

Did we have momentum going in to the Barnsley game?

It's on the day. What's gone before has no bearing
