I don’t really get why conceding late goals is always seen as some sort of unprofessional lack of focus or desire.

Happens all the time to every team, that game was an absolute battle and they were throwing the kitchen sink at us.

Absolutely gutting, but that’s football. Admittedly it does happen to us a lot, which is worrying.

It's happened too often this season. By my count that is the fifth game we've thrown away a lead or a point in the dying minutes. Those points are the difference between playoffs and not come the end of the season.

Then again, on recent viewing we can forget playoffs. We look devoid of ideas and burnt out. I think this would have happened regardless of who was in charge of the team, but Schuey needs to inject some fresh blood into this team to get us going again.

What a loss Galloway has proven to be. Our form has gone off a cliff since.

Happens too often though. Pompey , Wigan. Lincoln (Twice) and now Fleetwood. Cooper caught out again. Great shot stopper but lacks a physical presence. Look how many times he ends up on the floor after a corner or free kick into the area

They shouldn’t have had two shots from the 90th min onwards never mind goals. The substitution, the body language and the tactics showed naivety today. The belief and desire isn’t there. Gutted.

Would like to see that equaliser from another angle. Looked like a foul.

Taken objectively, for long periods in that game, we were 2nd best. Of course, at 3-1 up away, with a few minutes left, 3-3 is going to feel like a defeat. MK won too. We really needed those 3 points.

Their pitch was a shocker, as was the ref - inconsistent decision-making which affected both teams.

Too many late capitulations. The points thrown away in games that we should have managed our way to wins in will see us finish outside the playoffs.

Lost for words on this one. Disastrous sub selection re Camara. Suspect it wont feel better in the morning!
I don't think his replacement, Lewis, touched the ball.

Just watching back the goal, it was an absolutely blatant foul.

As the first header drops, the Fleetwood player dives straight in, leading with his arm high above the head. He missed the ball completely and bundled into Cooper, who then couldn’t get anywhere near the bounce.

Nothing to do with weak defending or goalkeeping from Argyle (at least from the corner onwards) just terrible from the referee.
