If we had the 6 points we dropped to Bury and the 5 we dropped to Northampton (although admittedly the single point gained against them was without Pep) we'd be on 61 points, and a win outside the playoffs. Crazy.

Don't forget the 89th minute equaliser for Gillingham and the 87th for Shrewsbury at home and the 95th for Bradford at home.

That's 6 points lossed.

We are frail going into the final 10 minutes. Need to tighten up.
 
Robinson saying we started to play like an U.23 late on - losing our shape and discipline
and got done by Cole and Grigg down the side.

He’s gutted.

And the 93rd min winner for Fleetwood. Just goes to show that when fans talk about promotion or relegation in October is crazy.
 
Acknowledged that performances have improved but it’s a results business. KR record is W1 D1 L4, Scored 5 conceded 9. Defo not the impact we were looking for. Need at least a point at Donny.

Dear oh dear, the only blame her is on clothead. Do you think there is another manager in England that would have done any better? What he's achieved so far is excellent.
 
Adding to that, Faz’s record was nearly the same! Except he played an extra game and won it (not counting tin pot trophy) and W2 D1 L4

Not blaming KR for what he inherited but yes I’m sure other managers could have had a better record than that!
 
Let's get a win at Donny on Saturday and all will be right with the World. Follow that up with a draw or win vs Dale and we can party in Blackburn.

I certainly blame Robinson for playing the useless IBR tonight - I just don’t
understand the thinking. We are in a dog fight so it makes no sense to start with him.
Surely there was a better option? IBR was shocking against Oldham and I never expected
him to darken our door again. Napa would have been a better option.

Doncaster is massive.

Where you getting your statistics from? As you've missed a draw at Scunthorpe or Oldham. What your missing here is the 2 teams we've played that aren't chasing play offs and promotion we've gone and got results against and then Fleetwood we got the customary loss in the 93rd minute (which KR cannot do anything about when it was that good of a goal.)
 
Not for a minute saying I was a Pep advocate but the guys league record was W10 D8 L11 - 38 points from 29 games. Faz 7 points from 7 games, KR 5 points from 6 games. No improvement! In fact a little worse. The delayed decision to appoint is killing us.

Performances have improved you say? That IS exactly the impact we were looking for! What else can you expect him to do? Pick himself to play up front?
 
Of course the strike from McAleny was superb - but we lost our discipline with a minute to go
and got counter attacked three on three.

Tonight we lose our shape again late on and all the hard work counts for nothing.

It’s gutting but we must be more switched on. You don’t get away with it in L1 against
decent front players.

Apologies yeah I missed a draw. Still 1 point per game average. I know we’ve played Shrews, Wigan and Scunny but such disappointing results. No away points at all.

I just hope we aren’t sitting back admiring our improved performances in L2! Results are king.
 
Really gutted we are 5 mins from time and taking risks against such a dangerous team!! Why?! Fleetwood now Wigan. Lost 2 points from losing the ball in silly areas!
 
Pep vs Wigan 0-7
Pep’s last 7 games 7 points I believe.
We deserved a point tonight, no question,but .....
 
...we didn’t. No good having a good game when we come away with zilch. Sorry but that’s the harsh reality.

I imagine you would write a very short match report for tonight then.... 'We lost.' Anything else would be a waste of time I guess.
 
Very easy to focus on how we lost that, but the whole team had run their socks off and mistakes happen when players get tired. One loose pass and that ultimately cost us. On the whole, that was a proper battling performance and we were punished by a side with some excellent players, who were otherwise nullified for the majority of the match.

Canice Carroll was an inspired emergency centre forward choice! Ran until he could barely walk. He will sleep well tonight.

Same grit and determination at Donny and we could be safe before the Rochdale game. Proud of the way Robinson got them playing tonight despite the result.

Expecting a sell out on Saturday according to Offical Twitter. If your planning on going buy soon
 
Sickened at the end.

Wigan were good and dominated the first half, but not great.

Back four looked good. Nelson and Dickie won everything in the air. If he can cope I would certainly keep Nelson in for Saturday. Ricardinho is different gravy.

Looked much better when Carroll went upfront. From about 60 mins - 85 we looked most like scoring.

How is Trevor Kettlw still aloud to referee League One football btw? That ‘foul’ he gave against Carroll on Dunkley was honestly one of the worst decisions I have ever seen.

Bring on Saturday. Fairly optimist after tonight.
