Made me hungry now but250 miles is a long way even for quality food!

I know it’s stating the obvious but the degree of”meltdown”, if indeed it happens, will be dependent on the actual result and performance.
We, as supporters, shouldn’t be taken any game for granted least of all away games. Oxford are on a poor run of form (who better to help them end that than Derby?) but they did beat Ipswich as recently as January.
If we let another two goal lead slip I won’t be happy but, on the other hand, if we play well but end up only drawing (due to misfortune or a poor referee decision) I’ll probably be much closer to disappointed than meltdown. Hopefully, any degree of disappointment will be tempered by Burton doing us a favour (and Cheltenham but that feels very unlikely).
Whatever the outcome, I certainly won’t be amongst those putting pressure on PW.

Too true!
M Bargo was our worst manager since T Docherty!
 

The benefit of last night's loss to Plymouth is that it puts us out of our misery. The automatic places are gone. We need to dust ourselves down and regroup. The focus should be on securing a playoff spot, finding the right team to win the playoffs and ensuring we peak at the end of the season in terms of fitness and form. There are 11 games left in the main season; we hope there will be 3 more.
The table looks as if it has a top 4 from where the autos will be decided, with the remaining 2 places coming from the next 4. Our mini league is Bolton, us, Wycombe and Peterborough. 
We are starting to look tired. Should we bring more rotation to the team now, rather than relying on the same small core? For instance, should we widen the starting group to sometimes include Rooney, Davies, Thommo, Springett? And also Chester with him seemingly close to fitness?
Should we change tack to Warne's preferred 3-5-2 and see if we can make it work for the run-in? Or do we stick with the current formation but have different players in the various positions?
What other changes might we consider, especially considering how poor our record has been against the top teams, who we will eventually need to beat in the playoffs if we're to get promoted? And for anyone who says this season was a free fit and we'll be better next year, remember we lose a whole load of our best players if we don't go up next season - yours is a ridiculous attitude.
When we hoped for automatics, every game was a must win and there was no room for experimentation. Now we have a little breathing space, meaning this is the moment to take stock and find the optimal strategy to secure a place in the playoffs, and then win them.

EOMF again!

Maybe a little tired but nowhere near Warne Out!

100% agree.

This should not be an issue. The ability to referee is not about gender it is about ability and the referee did a good job last night. There will always be contentious decisions because there are 20,000 + biased referees in the stands which adds to the enjoyment and emotion of the game. Hopefully the gender of the referee will be immaterial in the years to come.

The ref was an unsung her tonight though!

Dobbin having an excellent game definitely not a twits performance
