We did, Gyo's 1v1. And we beat him once (shame about the defender on the line though).

I think of all the games this season to be pissed off about tonight isn't one

It's a good point tbf but just felt it was there for the taking. Decent defending but still getting away with it a bit. As confidence grows we will only get better. Gyokeres should have scored, and that would have been that. Not to be. Dabo, Palmer both out of gas, and Allen a 60 minute man. Sheaf much better tonight. Another away point, can't complain at that.

Our midfield was knackered, maybe a couple of changes before 180 mins could have helped?

I've long since given up on MR using the bench effectively.

Frustrated. Not pissed off. Big difference

Apart from Sheafs yellow. Only baffling thing with the ref was he let defenders get away with so much. As soon as Gyo or palmer did the same he gave a foul.

Apart from that one of the better refs we have had

That is my main criticism we don’t shoot enough, we get in decent positions outside the box but tend to go out wide always worth the odd dig at goal.

Sounded like Palmer had a great game.

Gyokeres can be greedy which is frustrating at times, but also think he'd lose his edge if he wasn't

Just flicked onto the Blackburn game. Red blows for a penalty just as Bradley Dack is about to pop the ball into an empty net. Blackburn miss the penalty. That is shit refereeing.

A distinction without a difference. Draw away, win at home

By the time he came on we were sitting so deep it would have been detrimental to over-press.

He did absolutely fine. The whole lazy & not pressing is a myth anyway but, like others, it is a stigma now.

This is the other thing with the lack of subs. We were content with how the game was going, making changes to that can have a negative impact just as easily as a positive one.

He covers loads of ground did Saturday too but his passing which is normally a strength of his is off at the moment.

Take that.

Second best most of the game and game seemed to pass Allen in particular by. Sheaf was better but still not where he should be. Palmer trying too hard at times Gyokeres being too selfish at times. To be fair to Godden he didn’t do much but could have had two or three if his teammates could release a ball.

Dabo was poor positional again, no coincidence everything came down his side. But the midfield was far far too narrow and allowing overlaps on the wingbacks all game.

I think it is the lack of tackling with Sheaf which seems odd. This time last year he was winning the ball so much more

Not a dreadful point, and good to keep up the run of clean sheet.

We’ll be blowing out our arses after about half an hour vs Burnley though.

Applies to both teams, we were conceding lots of space as it was.

What an absolute crock of crap that was! Yes, we were missing Adam Scott but that was garbage, a very poor Championship game.
We'll forget that one eh?

Perhaps with Hamer out he’s instructed to be a bit less positive but I agree he was better last season.

They shaded first
We shaded second
Vik’s one on one curse strikes again
A point is a fair result and I think we’re happier than them.
3 clean sheets in a row. Defence is sorted, let’s get Hamer and Cal back and we’ll push up the table.

For the love of god… get this prat off CWR slagging Walker off. Walker had 8 mins and was trying to get involved … can’t do a lot in that time. Time to rest Matty

I'm fairly sure that was tactical.
With Weimann & Semenyo both looking to play between the lines we could easily have been caught out centrally. By forcing them wide it restricted them to essentially tossing the ball into the box for 5'7" Nakhi Wells.

I would say it'd be interesting to hear Robins' thoughts on it but I highly doubt CWR are competent enough to pursue that kind of questioning.
