Has Hunty been told how many games his ban will be for yet?

5 points from 21. Unacceptable.

It is starting to look that way. Next game is very important for Hunt's future.

We should be doing better. Today was tough but defeats to teams like Wimbledon and throwing away 2 points at Wycombe are unacceptable

Beds will be wet undoubtedly.

But decent effort away against top team while trying to piece together and gel our own.

We’ve lost again. Other teams are also trying to piece together and gel inc Barnsley

Back in the bottom 4 (21st) but with a home v Northampton in hand over the two teams above.

Pretty much the result everyone expected, we came close to making it level a few times. Just too many soft goals conceded. But we are scoring more, so there is that.

At the end of the day, a 1 goal away defeat to a side going well and expected to challenge at the top end of the table is not a bad result.

Burns looks oxf*rd, which is worrying, but he's also not been very good, and will surely be out as soon as O'Connor is fit regardless. Camara looked in trouble too.

Goals to get off the mark in the league from Kyerewaa and Marriott, which is good. Ehibhatiomhan back, also good.

Just got to get that press right, and find a way to deal with the stodgy lack of pace at the back, which lets teams get in behind us all too often.

Away, against a team at the top, after no defeats in 3.

Couhig can't sack Hunt because he will have to spend money to buy Ainsworth out of his contract. :D

We lost , again , the score flattered us , we're in the relegation zone, we're managed by a manager who is clearly out of his depth, the club should do something now to stop the rot , or we're stuffed , the players apart from Wing look shot of confidence and inspiration

I’ve given up on this season already sadly. We won’t go down but I can’t see is troubling the top 6 now

Bit peed off with it all tbh. We shouldn’t be satisfied with only losing by 1 to bloody Barnsley

Its becoming frustrating, we are in League 1 FFS and we aren't even any good. I can't see this being turned around anytime soon...

I’d have a lot more interest and patience if we were using more Academy kids tbh. Only Ahmed starting and cameos from Kelvin, Camara and Dorsett today. Doubt the latter 3 will start next game either

The manager and coaches aren't any good, most of these players are proven in league 1

Any defeat to a similar sized club who are a promotion rival should not be accepted by anybody. We have too many fans with a tinpot mentality.

It's not about today, we've been poor all season and continuously concede goals that are of Sunday league level. Gibbs clearly is a huge miss but it's exposed that Hunt is just not a very good manager. He's an incredible bloke and remains a legend but he should stand aside.

Getting really fed up with the bedwetting whiners on here. As Mick and Tim said in BBCRB before the match we lost most of our best players in January and June and the replacements are not as good. We have played a likely top 6 side away today and run them close. Give Hunt a chance to build a team. Defence is the main problem as Burns /Williams are a huge downgrade on Bindon/Mbengue. We are likely to concede more than we did last time, which is why I said in the summer that mid table will be a good result this season. I cannot believe so many of you expected top 6.
