Win at Birmingham and it will be a decent point

Exciting game of football. Would love to say I enjoyed it but it was difficult to. Great spirit to at least partially stop the rot but that's a plaster over the problems. Kudos to Sheaf and Vik who stood out for us. Massive concerns about the defence - not a lot said here about Doyle but he worried me all night and hardy won a header. Shame Robins didn't go for it when we were on top but think we'll all take a point and hope for further improvement at the weekend.

They really weren’t - they got turned inside and out by a fairly average team at this level

As a standalone performance it was ok. Looked better defensively after Rose went off.

Leaving Allen on was a total mystery. We had control of the game, Palmer or Waghorn would have been infinitely more useful breaking them down than the headless chicken.

Better second half from us but two poor sides

I don't think that's fair... We are a decent side with a crucial injury we can't afford and owners who have thrown us under the bus.

It's all relative.

Take the point. The second half was the most we had looked like us all season apart from Sunderland. Defended much better, looked better balanced.

Allen is not a Championship player.

Think Doyle and Panzo are just as iffy defensively as Rose, but much better in the air and with the ball, we might have been forced into our best back three.

How? It was "their throw"?

Well, he chose to mouth off to the ref and the ref decided to book him for it. As the ball was out of play at the time, it remained their throw-in.

I honestly wouldn’t be pissed off if MR fucked off now, his refusal to use the subs is just baffling and fucks me off!

Not sure it is, they were wide open and we were happy to sit back for the point.

No changes given the lack of match fitness is odd to say the least. Is he trying to get them fit?

Yep. I maintain we won't go down, but we need wins sooner rather than later.

That'll do nicely after the start we made.

Played well and showed some of the balloons on here up nicely.

Yes we are three points behind where Andy Thorn was in 2011 after the same number of games it’s party time

We could have won, but given they should have had a pen, I think that is a good point tbh,

Predominately based on the second half there’s positives to build on.

Crazy decision not to make subs, and a bizarre selection to start, but it’s not time for MR to go.

Granted he didn't have all but one away but yes bottom on 2 points is no cause for celebration

How many of those were home games? We have to make some allowance for that, although should have more than 2 points at this stage regardless.

It depends on your perspective really. A point is fine, I would have taken it before the game.

When you watch the match though, they really weren't very good and we could and should have been able to put them to the sword. I'm a bit frustrated we didn't go for it, and the lack of substitutions is just really strange. Still, it isn't the worst result in the world and as others have said if we can beat Blues then it will be looked on in a more positive light.

Can we gather enough money between us to make a bid from a made up club for Allen in January?

On about the 6th replay yes it certainly looked it.

Even the Luton commentator (who was about as one sided as I've heard) said it was impossible to tell on the first 4 angles he'd seen of it but then changed his tune to "blatant, stonewall having seen it from behind the goal"... I'm not sure what people think referees eyes are made of?

He's a very effective League 1 player and if you offered him to the top half clubs you'd surely get a few offers
