FT 2-2, blinking frustrating to get caught with an equaliser in the 93rd minute, BUT good display overall.

More than frustrating when it happens almost every week though isn’t it. A fundamental problem that clearly Pearson nor the rest of his coaching staff can sort out.

Solid point, Bentley should do better clearing for the penalty and that pass shouldn't be going through before the flick on to Reach to put it in, but other than those two individual errors I thought the defence were very good today.

Punished by two mistakes and when you're down there you can't get away with those.

I'm at a loss as to what you do about a group of players that are apparently so mentally weak. Other than replace them, which we are in no position to do.

It's such a habit now that I see no reason why it would change. The forwards must be sick and tired of being expected to score at least 3 goals a game.

Sounds like we were much improved today despite the meltdown on here. 

We were, it was a decent performance and pretty solid at the back. They’ve had two shots, both went in

Ignore the meltdown, half of them probably haven’t watched the game just seen the score, and time of the goal, and rushed to their computer / phone

There have been occasions on which our game management has been poor, but there’s also been more than our fair share of bad luck in these injury time goals. It’s almost like the planets have aligned. 

I don’t believe it’s bad luck at all. You make your own luck

I don't know the numbers, but I reckon the points we've dropped due to conceding in added time this season would have us close to the play offs.

 

We have dropped six points overall this season due to goals scored after 75 minutes. Here it is:

Home to Blackpool - 2 points

Away to Forest Green Rovers - meaning a penalty shoot out which we lost 6-5

Home to Luton - 2 points

Away to QPR + 2 points

Home to Fulham + 1 point

Away at Peterborough + 2 points

Home to Forest - 3 points

Away to Coventry - 1 point

Home to Blackburn - 2 points

Away to Hull - 0 points (both teams scored beyond 75 minutes)

Home to QPR - 1 point

Home to Millwall +2 points

Away to Swansea - 2 points

Home to Coventry - 2 points

Away to Blackburn + 2 points

Home to WBA - 0 points (both teams scored beyond 75 minutes)

Gonna disagree with most on here who are throwing there toys out of the pram, we played well and we mighty unlucky to concede right at the end a lucky deflected ball through latched onto by there player. if ball goes anywhere else we clear the ball its just how are luck is going this season... lets be honest we would have taken a point from today and that's what we got, yes we were winning and should have held on but its another point toward safety and a very welcome point...

WBA to be fairly got a soft pen and scored late on otherwise we could of won that game (we are not getting any luck this season keeping fingers crossed its due us next season)... a much better performance and something to build upon...

Looking at the replay, James caught on his heels when might have been able to intercept the pass and Pring (who otherwise played really well) loses the runner. Tough to take, but good performance and win would not have been undeserved.

Why do people feel the need to find a scapegoat  when we concede? From where I was sitting, it was a really good bit of play by them.

Really feel gutted for Weimann, that should of been the winner. Great finish.

If I was him I'd be asking my teammates if they might consider doing their jobs so he doesn't have to carry them. Though less politely than that.

What about beyond 85 minutes?

As NP said when he first came, there is no quick fix.

Given some recent performances I think a draw with WBA is creditable.  Thought we would lose.

If the club stick by NP and listen to him we might just be able in two seasons time to look a bit more like the real deal.  But will Pearson be listened to and his advice taken? That is the big question

This is what Pearson has been saying to many players losing a player nobody can knock Pearson for individual mistakes happens to often. Points a point and against West brom I'd take it.

If we scored that goal it’s fair to say we wouldn’t be talking about bad defending. It was a good goal

Good performance on the whole today and we got more from the game than I thought we would. Weimann’s finish was class and worthy of winning any game. Gutted by the last-minute goal, but at least it wasn’t predictable.

it’s not toys out of pram, just bored of the huge individual errors and weak as piss mindset.

Anyway, season almost done ?

I think we can all agree it was nothing to do with “coaching” today. Nobody “coaches” the goalkeeper to throw a right cross in a players face or to lose their man in injury time. Defending corners was something we did improve today.
