    Actually yesterday I was a lot worse, just couldn't see us being disciplined enough to nick a tight win or with enough quality to get a couple of goals up. But today the sun is shining, Osti returns and I hope Godden being back, even on the bench, is both the boost to the team and the kick up...

    He reminds me of a keeper that has played 5 a side all his life and then gets put in a full size goal.

    Hamer

    Hamer is one of the few players that we have that is always looking to move the ball forward, and quickly too. You can see when he and James are on the pitch together that their understanding is on a different level with the way they play little 1-2s and change the angles. He has looked a bit...

    McFadzean is a massive issue for me. Although he was the best of the defenders tonight individually, he drags the whole team so deep. He did for most of last season too but teams didn't have the quality to make it count, or at least we had the relative quality to get away with it.

    That 25 million pound finish from Bolasie at the end when he was clean through, how can we compete?!

    He annoys me when he stands there in the corner of his technical area with his hands in his pockets. And I know it's ridiculous and means nothing, but sometimes I just want to see him screaming and waving his arms about to keep the players going.

    I can't tell whether we are knackered or just content with the point.

    That would need 47,520 minutes of added time so it's unlikely we'll get that even if Robins uses all 5 subs.

    I reckon if Hamer wasn't a pro footballer he'd be 110kg. Half Maradona, half fat Ronaldo.

    Biamou, McCallum and Rose were great for the first 30 mins but that last 15 was poor. Kelly's strengths are also negated somewhat when both teams are playing longer football. We're essentially only playing with one wing back, because Dabo is nothing like his normal adventurous self and McCallum...

    Rose was beaten staggeringly easy on the line there

    Burgesque that was from Wilson. Start to go, stop, retreat to line, jump into own net.

    Hamer knocks a million quid off his price tag every time he gives away one of these silly fouls around our own box. That's his 3rd one today already and he's down to 172 million now.

    Walker and O'Hare are running on to Biamou's attempts to control the ball superbly tonight.

    We should get 4 points for the win today if we can out-longball a Warnock team!

    Look at the holding on McFadz during that goal!
