We need to be more ruthless, at the end of his months loan get ollie Hulbert back and give him a chance, he scores goals. Not sure a youngster with no league experience is the answer. If Thomas is hoping to be a Championship player then he should be taking similar chances at this level. Still can't understand how Salford had a 3 v 2 when they scored with just 9 men on the pitch. I suppose they just threw caution to the wind as they had nothing to lose. It only takes one player to score regardless of how many you have on the pitch.

Give it a rest already. You’re boring Me boring. You are the same as RD only show your head when things go wrong. Too against Barton to have any balanced views imo

We hardly have a plethora of number 9 options. Get him back in the first team squad - he would be a good option off the bench. Probably would have buried one of those chances tonight too! Which one of Hulbert or Phillips would you have on the bench? Hulbert.

The only belter is the one having a pop at someone for having the audacity to say that drawing against 9 men, having spent 50 minutes playing 10 is pathetic. You're an absolute weapon ffs 😂😂😂 We scored a legit 2nd goal ffs. If that is allowed as it should do we all go to bed much happier Quick check of the score says 1-1. So no, not sure it was legit. Of course you are correct. We'd all have gone to bed happy if we had won 8-0 too. Point is we didn't. We Drew 1-1 against 9 men, having played 10 men for 50 minutes. Look, I'm not calling for Barton's head. Not saying we won't still go up. Not saying we're sh**. I'm saying drawing with 9 men is pathetic. Not really sure how anyone can disagree with that but - even if you somehow can - I'm astonished you disagree with it so strongly you feel the need to call me up on it? The reality is, you're calling me out on it because it's me - anyone else and it would have gone unchecked. IMO drawing with 9 mine is pathetic. If that warrants abuse, so be it. But I'm standing by that opinion.

That poor officiating for the ‘offside’ Pitman goal actually makes me angry at this level. It’s like playing Sunday league where the opposition sub runs the line. Thats the problem when you have a striker with as much pace as Pitman does.

One lapse at the back has cost us, I can't believe we've been so nieve to allow a 3 v 2 with 9 men, absolutely criminal defending. Pitmans goal should have stood but we really shouldn't have been in that situation to start with. As frustrating as that was there are plenty of positives, yes we should dominate v 10 men and we absolutely shouldn't be conceding as we did but up until the first red we'd played them off the park. Prior to the game a draw probably wouldn't have been a bad result but that'd 2 points thrown away. We simply have to learn to kill teams off, Barrow, Colchester, Tranmere & tonight realistically we could and possibly should be 6-8 points better off.

Then suddenly have time immediately after they equalise?...you belter. The only belter is the one having a pop at someone for having the audacity to say that drawing against 9 men, having spent 50 minutes playing 10 is pathetic. You're an absolute weapon ffs 😂😂😂 It's hardly pathetic, just bl00dy annoying if you watched the match, after we let Salford score with their only chance of the second half. As ever there's a complete over reaction on here, if we win on Saturday the same players will suddenly become hero's again.

In my opinion the injuries to Belshaw / Grant / Crowd massively interrupted our momentum, and I thought being Pitman on wasn't good I thought Collins had a good game, we need energy up too imo. We need goal scorers and Pitman is our only natural goal scorer. Right decision to bring him on and should have given us the winner - if it hadn’t been for the lino.

The main difference between the two half’s was that we reverted to 3 at the back after the break, why I don’t understand, maybe there was a good reason but to me having a back four we look more confident.-

So frustrating. First half probably the best performance of the season. Played some great football and the only criticism would be that we failed to get the 2nd and 3rd goal our play deserved. Second half was disappointing in comparison considering they were down to 10. However, we still looked far more likely to get the second goal of the game and created a number of chances we really should have put away. The really annoying period for me was the lengthy period of injury time when they were down to 9. From that position we should never be throwing the lead away and how their striker was afforded so much space when we had 2 extra men is quite frankly shocking. Plenty of positives to take from the game but it's hard to focus on them at the moment when we've clearly thrown 2 points away.
We obviously should have taken the game out of the officials hands but surely their No.9 should have been sent off for that high challenge on Belshaw and was booked for another incident soon after. He shouldn't have been on the pitch to flick the ball on to their goalscorer. Add to that, it looks like Pitman's goal was clearly onside and you'd have to say the officials have cost us the win. As I said, we gave them the opportunity to change the game by not getting the second goal but it still adds to the frustration.

On a separate note - think the League table on BBC website is incorrect regarding our place in the table. Not sure how we could be below Salford at the start of the game, draw, and then be two places above them? Ah well ….at least we are still in the League…..🤪

No surprise you only show your head when things go wrong Absolute nonsense you clown. Suggest your read back after Oxford. I'm not even bashing Barton, just saying drawing with 9 men is pathetic. If you think otherwise then I've nothing left to say to you you belter. To be fair, it was a sh**e result when we played so much of the game against 10, and then 9 men, and were initially so dominant. Nothing wrong with what RD posted that I can see (and we’ve butted heads before over Barton), so I think you’re being a bit OTT there, LMW.

Linos were terrible. Offside wrong and failure to flag in time got Belshaw a nutting.
On the plus side I thought, for a second, Barton was going to attack the Salford bench and the ref calmed him down.
We should have won this, but we are starting to look like a decent side, which we didnt at first, meaning there was always the fear that JB didnt know what he was doing.

But I'm standing by that opinion. We conceded a goal to one defensive mistake, it's hardly pathetic, for 89 minutes we dominated the game from start to finish, that was probably our best away performance, apart from the goal, since DC's team lost its way.

And to be fair, Assante, their scorer looked good all evening and when he got the ball in a good position he threatened. I’m surprised his danger even in a team of 9 wasn’t picked up. UTG!

I appreciate historically I've been very anti-Barton, but just to be clear I'm not having a dig here. Even if I was the most Pro-Barton fan or not, I'd still be saying that was pathetic. I'm sure Barton thinks the same! And again, not saying we're sh*t - not saying we won't go up. Just taking this in isolation and saying drawing against 9 was pathetic. But anyway, it is what it is - we go again.
