Certainly an enjoyable game to watch but in my opinion we gifted Slough 2 points. Two goals ahead and not looking too troubled. Concede a goal and panic seemed to set in. Seems to happen quite regularly where we seem to lose it when under pressure as can't keep hold of the ball and just to give it straight back to the opposition when we do get it. Don't understand the comment regarding no one to bring on. Also could someone clarify why we only had 4 subs, and 1 of those a goalkeeper, when Campbell, Allen and Felix were at the ground? I was told all 3 played for Park on Saturday so doesn't suggest they are injuried. Again on Saturday didn't have a full bench so why were all 3 playing for Park?

Very enjoyable game but to give away a 3-1 lead is just plain crazy after all we're not Liverpool. The other worrying thing is that Sandell got booked again( that's two in two games) at this rate he will be suspended again come the new year. I hope Mark factors this into his search for a Griff replacement.

Joiner, I think I've worked out the goalkeeper on the bench stuff, after all with no Griff we would have not keeper cover. It looked like Slough didn't have cover or surely their keeper would have been subbed as he was clearly struggling.

Unbelievable 3 -1 up and we kept giving away cheap throw ins, why not put a player standing in front of the person taking the throw in, like a person standing in front of the keeper at corners. The lad from Dorchester, Mateus, was an ideal time to give him 20 minutes at the end when we were coasting it, for a tired Fergie or Pook, but no plan B was forthcoming. Due to no plan B, we threw the game away. 4 subs and one was a keeper, strange when others are fit, allegedly. However it was a good game and Slough wanted the win playing 3 up front. Bit concerned about the cheap yellow cards some of the players are getting, totally needless some of them. Frustrating to say the least.

The silence from Collier on his twitter account is telling. Normally at least a sentence after the game.
On a more positive note - fantastic penalty save by Chitty without which I suspect we would have lost all the points

Very disappointed with the second half performance, I feel like we were lucky to not have lost the game towards the end at our own fault, with them having a good penalty well saved and their striker missing a free header from 2 yards. Don't understand the bench situation and why Nuno isn't playing when he's fit and Allen who has done well in recent games, and probably a good game to bring Ryan too with his energy. Nevertheless a game that we should have won, looked like we lacked experience as no one took control and man managed the game to see the 3 points, Horgan for pooky in the second half would of done it. Anyway onwards and upwards, we go again Saturday, come on boys!

Collier on twitter at 9am this morning.

Hugely encouraging that we can put 3 past 2nd place, but sadly a reflection our defensive record, which is the worst of the top 5. My spy at the game tells me he wasn't comfortable even we'd gone 3 up.
A valuable point non the less and we need to make sure we dont have too many slip ups against clubs at the wrong end of the table.
Hopefully that is a valid opinion!

Should have asked us for tips on how to beat them

I'm no expert, but not letting in 2 goals while 3-1 up might have done the trick!
