The most depressing thing about days like today is not the performance which was awful but the fans reaction to it. 
Promotion is won over a season. At Bristol we looked like a promotion team. This day we looked bottom half. That’s why overreacting to either game is ridiculous. But the “pitchforks out” reaction after every game we lose is just soooo tedious and it’s always the same people.

So we lost a game, remain second four points clear with the team below having a game in hand.
some or even all the teams below will have bad days and drop points. It’s how football works.

Some people want to fire the manager. I’m just thankful we have a sensible owner.

It's a confidence boost to them, yes. But momentum? I wouldn't say so. Bolton have won 2 in their last 7, Barnsley 1 in their last 4, Peterborough lost their last game. Peterborough possibly have "momentum" in their form before losing to Portsmouth, but the form of the other two is hardly brilliant.
It would be a massive up-turn in form for any side to win all of their remaining games. For Bolton that's 7 in a row and for Posh/Barnsley it's 8 in a row. They haven't done that all season, it'll take a massive effort to pull that out of the bag now. For example, Bolton have won 7 league games this year. They've played 16. If they go on to win 7 in a row now then fair enough, they deserve it.
It's really frustrating that we haven't taken this opportunity, but we haven't thrown anything away yet. We still have it in our hands, and whilst we still may bottle it, turning on the players and the manager at this stage, would just ruin any remaining chance we do have.

It's interesting to see how a lot of people are now suggesting 3 at the back rather than a back 4 that people have been saying is how we should be lining up. I've liked the idea of having a back 3. It allows us more players to attack, but gives us 5 at the back when defending. 
Big game today. No complacency please. We have to be professional and get the job done and not assume it's 3 points in the bank. Northampton will likely raise their game against us. 
COYR! 

I was reflecting on the squad the other day and concluded that the overwhelming majority of the squad has positively contributed to our successes this season.
The notable exceptions were Embleton (who looked decent then picked up a season-ending injury), and Blackett-Taylor, who has suffered from some niggly injuries and hasn't had any significant game time.
Even John-Jules scored a couple of important goals, not least the only goal for three points away at Port Vale.
Credit surely goes to PW for this. 

What’s stranger is for you to pick up on Warne’s asking the fans to back the team and enjoy the ride of the next 9 games as a pre-cursor to failure.
We’re second (outright now without the caveat of games in hand others were keen to point out before), have as many wins as Pompey, have the best goal difference in the league on account of having the joint second best goals conceded and fourth best goals for, have players seemingly in form, have players coming back from injury to strengthen the squad for the run in, have just won two games on the bounce 3-0 following a mini slump, and you’re picking on how things are worded in press conferences?! 
 

We’ve won 2 on the bounce with an aggregate score of 6-0 and gone clear in 2nd, even if others win their games in hand.  We’re now back to psychoanalysing everything Warne and his staff say.  You couldn’t make it up!!

That's just your interpretation of what he said. To me, he was merely stating some "home" truths : at this stage of the season, the fans can help to lift the team when they're struggling (as they have done at times recently) by vocal encouragement; understand that the players are doing everything they can to win promotion and get behind them; we're in a great position now so let's all push together. I heard nothing that suggested he was trying to deflect blame in the event we failed.
I think some of our fans are just looking for excuses to feel offended now.
 

Paul warne ,,,,,,,, the man is doing a ducking good job , clowes ,,,,,,, spot on to go down the route he went on bringing him in 

We are second in the table and lost away to a team two places below us. A little perspective would not go amiss. No one likes losing but it’s a part of football. This criticism of Warne goes far beyond opinions about tactics. The uber critics surface after every set back and moan like spoilt brats. Many of the comments are just aimed in one direction and ignore every other aspect of professional team sport where the margins between success and failure are wafer thin. 

We have great crowds every week which rarely drop below 26k (and mostly well above) despite "the football".
If its were going to drop off,it's taking a long time,he's been here nearly two seasons.
The doommongers and anti warne brigade live in their own world on this forum,I'd be surprised if many actually go the games.

Lovely to have you back Royetta. Also lovely to see you reinvigorated by yesterday's loss too.

Two things I hate about losing. 
 
1 Well obviously we’ve lost, got no points, the table doesn’t look quite as good and the weekend feels a bit of a downer. 
 
2 The oh so predictable comments from the Warne Haters who all know better cos of their vast experience playing in the Sunday league or on Xbox. 

Alternatively you could stay away.
