Anyone have a stat on how much of the ball we had? Lads looked morr comfortable with it today then I have seen in a long time away from the 'Bok (last game I saw us away was at Sheffield). There second goal looked a real scramble but they hadn't threatened previous and didn't look like winning afterwards.

Despite that goal in the first half I thought Warnock did well to keep Ince quiet and Knight rose to his tole as Captain. Going forward we look good if not yet great. Eagles better on the right, Petrov enigmatic as usual and Lee can hopefully take some confidence from his goal and push on back to where he was beforr his brrak. NGog worked hard but not given much service.

A reasonable result, especially away from home, but we need to get the home form as close to perfection if we're to go up automatically this year.

Played well enough. Should have seen it out. Fullbacks both roasted today but Ince and Phillips are both good players.

Midfield battled hard, still think that Andrews looks great in the holding role.

Our fans are thick as feck. Moaning when we keep the ball and build slowly, then also moaning when we launch it forwards.

We are miles better than we were under the clueless clown. Is that 1 defeat in 6 since he left? It's a start. Beat Barnsley at home next week and 8 points from 4 games will be excellent!

The number of draws and losses this season after being in the lead is not acceptable

Forest H 2 2 after being in lead 2 1
Crawley A Lost 2 1 after being in lead 1 0
Hull A Lost 3 1 after being in lead 1 0
Leeds H 2 2 after being in lead 2 1
Wolves A 2 2 after being in lead 1 0
Boro A Lost 2 1 after being in lead 1 0
Blackpool A 2 2 after being in lead twice 1 0 and 2 1.

If we want to get anywhere this season, DF needs to make this his priority.
We're fine going forward, but attitudes need to change it's not coincidence that we concede so many when in front.

according to ye BBC - it was exactly 50:50

Dougie says..

"It was a fantastic game of football, between two teams who wanted to win.

"We were in the lead twice and it was disappointing to concede, but over the 90 minutes, I felt a draw was a fair result.

"I thought we played some fantastic stuff attacking-wise and defended quite well.

"They never really cut us open that much so it was very pleasing from that aspect, and to get a couple of goals is also pleasing."

fantastic, fantastic, pleasing and pleasing with a hint of disappointing and fair

Just got back in after ninety minutes sat on my hands with my gob shut in the home end. Their fans were increasingly nervous and frustrated. Ince excepted, they aren't a good team and given that he is apparently already lined up for OT in either January or next season, I can't see them challenging this year.

First half we looked calm, assured and steady on the ball. We used possession well and kept the ball, moving it quickly and keeping the pressure on. There was a yawning chasm between their centre backs which we exploited for the first goal, but after that we never managed to pick the right pass, despite N'Gog making the right runs. Their goal was a peach of a strike, but he ran with the ball from just inside his own half with no challenge. Poor midfield play for me.

The second half, we looked increasingly under pressure, yet never looked much in danger. I'd need to see their second goal again but it looked like we had chances to clear it and Spearing (?) left his post. Seemed like we had a couple of chances to win it at the end, but to be honest, I'm happy with a point and it gives us a base to push on from. 5 points from the last 3 matches is a good return in anyone's book.

Knight was the MOTM for me, again.

[bobo the clown]

Early days...points fine. We'd deffo of lost under Coyle. I'm hanging my hat on that, no matter what the pedant says. Shame we shiped equalisers twice but this is a massive mess for the Dougster to sort. Incremental improvements.

Interesting no Butterfield!

we'd definitely have lost if Butterfield had played....

Certain to. The guy must be 120 by now !

I like the fact he seems to be following the same games as us. Sounded like we defended quite well overall but switched off twice.Shouldnt need freedman to tell players to be sharp after we've scored.At least you get the feeling the goals will be analysed and learned from rather than put down to bad luck.

I could have sworn after we scored the first Dougie called two players over to the bench for a quick word. Maybe along the lines of 'don't get carried away' (purely guessing ofc)...shame it didn't work!

Agreed

Under coyle it would be down to bad luck, injuries, decisions, god but under freedman you get the impression he'll work on the mistakes in training

Hoe does fantastic rate against teriffic?

I'm a little unsure...

The header back across goal was the problem. Totally unmarked player from a free kick.

I'm sure "fantastic" is a very much upgraded and more competent version of "terrific"!

[TKIZ!]

Bit gutted about it being a draw but still have the optimism. 3 games unbeaten (alright it's a win and two draws) but it's certainly something to build on

[officer_dibble]

Fcuk me. Just realised Kevin Phillips didn't score!

[keveh]

How did Ngog do?

[bobo the clown]

Reasonably OK, as a one-off result, but the trouble is Cptn. Chaos left us in such poor shape we need wins not draws.

[Bijou Bob]

Just a quick something I'm ashamed to say that I forgot to say earlier;

If you were there today then fair play to you. The fans today were amazing, never stopped singing. The bouncey thing looked fantastic from the other side of the stadium

[NiceHotCuppaTea]

As you walk in you see signs saying 'Please do not jump up and down' etc...

Felt like the beginning of a Final Destination film.

Got to say, Burys ground is better than that Piss poor shed of a stadium!
