0-0 is a very good result, but it is concerning how poor we’ve been on the ball.

In isolation, a good result away at the league leaders.

Other results didn't go our way though. Very much fighting for 6th (5th at a push). Have a feeling Huddersfield might get the second automatic place.

Tremendous defensive performance. Wycombe definitely fluffed their lines but takes nothing away from our bravery and tenacity. Forrester my MOTM. Jones my… umm

Feck it. That'll do. Decent point, in the grand scheme of things. No real questions answered, though.

Well we didn’t score (again) but we also stopped the division’s top scorers - think that’s their first home blank

Forrester motm by a country mile. Not a lot of quality but excellent character and bodies on the line. If you can do that with a patchwork team where is it normally?

Wonderful point away to the league leaders. This was not going to be pretty and I thought Evatt got his tactics right tonight. The team fought to a man. Never intimidated. Proper football game. MoTM .. Williams. That interception in the first half was simply brilliant.

Forester was decent. Showed some of the fight we missed last week. But he played at Stockport and was shite so I dunno.

We weren’t great, midfield especially. I think the only real difference between tonight and Saturday was it wasnt Wigan so we didn’t bottle it. Not sure it answers any questions for me.

Actually fairly astonishing we kept them scoreless with that back line. Forrester close to a 10/10, for me.

Almost like he has a position he's comfortable in.

Santos back next game and this will all be forgotten.

A point's a point and away to the Leaguers leaders looks better than it actually was. Main worry is our inability to score, although their keeper made a couple of timely saves. Neither Collins or McAtee are exactly dangerous up front and our clearances from defence resemble a fairground bingo ball machine running amok.

The point's been made a few times about a muscular lad like Vic being brushed off the ball so easily but it's a fact. Charles never had a chance with the quality of balls going forward and still looked our best strike option. Better service from the defence might give up opportunities up front. Williams really put a shift in all game.

A stay of execution for the pickers and choosers, but we do need a general gee-up.

Unlikely, but Forrester should start at RCB in place of Jones vs Barnsley.

That bullshit booking means Matete is suspended for the Barnsley game.

Really dogged performance, just what the doctor ordered. Incredibly happy with the defensive effort put in tonight.
