If we were as motivated to address the lack of goal production, as we are proud of our clean sheets ...we’d be walking the league

Grendel · Oct 7, 2017

Well it wasn't great.

Positive is another clean sheet but we need to force things a lot more.

Kelly played well - looks very good in this league. Jones was blocked out for large parts.

Ponticelli from what I saw will only play a bit part in games. Robins wants forwards to work as defensive cover and I think he will need time to work on it

Shows also how misleading stats are - 17 shots on target but only 2 of any real worth.

If McNulty had been off sooner we'd certainly have had more chance.

McNulty never looked like scoring - get him out on loan to get his confidence up

We could drop out of the top 7 later

No we cant

Was better but still a lot of work to do. Our set up was all wrong and looked like we were both happy to settle for a point

Don't know why I bother · Oct 7, 2017

The future after Duck leaves after Christmas

Very misleading BBC shows 10 shots 2 on target????? But keep changing

Shot on target can also be misleading to be fair.

Skyblueweeman · Oct 7, 2017

Some people need to lighten up. Still 4th in the league and will still be in the play offs at the end of the day, regardless of results.

Don't think Nazon will be concerned about losing his place.

That’s true enough but I worry that it’ll be Biamou who will lose his place and whilst he didn’t look in it for much of today, he does seem to have built up a good partnership with Duck in comparison to Duck + McNulty

Well yes Kelly and the scramble at the end were the only two real chances - a couple of pass backs as well

capel & collindridge · Oct 7, 2017

Could have been better, but not a bad result for a game that had banana skin written all over the whole broadcast.

Dazmataz · Oct 7, 2017

Would be nice to see Kwarme Thomas back in the team sometime soon? Anyone know what's happening with him?

The Reverend Skyblue · Oct 7, 2017

I think we all feel he should have brought on Pont earlier.
Give the lad at least twenty minutes, it's not fair on the lad to push him on with ten minutes left.
Anyway a point is a point and we move on to the Wham Stadium, wonder if Andrew Ridgely is playing upfront for them

clint van damme · Oct 7, 2017

ive said it before but not scoring from set pieces (excluding penalties for the pedantic!) will be our downfall

Liquid Gold · Oct 7, 2017

Dust ourselves down and move on. It’s league two and terrible games like this are going to happen. Still a point away from home, another clean sheet and unbeaten run continues.

Before the season started I’d have snapped your hand off for 4th and 2 points off top with 12 gone.

He was on international duty .... hmmmm he never would be

Yep agree

Robins

Rubbish match

Wasn’t great

Very little in it

First half dire

Second half bit better

Barnet without a few first team era

Had energetic players

Our crowd were terrific

Created more in second half than first

Disappointed haven’t brought home 3 points

Got to thank their GK for keeping them in it

Come away with clean sheet

Missed Duck

We have a couple of strikers who are desperate to score

Wouldn’t say was convinced a goal was coming but convinced we were increasing pressure

Ponticelli had great support from fans and will do him world of good

Lots of positive but won’t be a game people won’t remember

McNulty has played wide for Sheff U before and has had to do defensive work

Not a wide player or winger and I know that

Not done enough to win it but happy enough against Barnet

Another tough game next week. Have a week to work before we go again

Esoterica · Oct 7, 2017

If we want to get out of this division via the autos, we have to be more courageous away from home. Would they have held out like that if we'd have gone at them the same way first half? I know most people will be happy overall to win our home games and pick up a point away but to rely on maintaining our home form for the rest of the season is going to be a tough ask.

Nonleagueherewecome · Oct 7, 2017

Ha genius bit of commentary by Clive there that they just played back: "I'm a little bit surprised that McNulty didn't shoot himself there!"

Otis · Oct 7, 2017

Not great and still a worry that on too many occasions we only play well for 45 mins.

Saying that though, another clean sheet, a point and a continuation of the unbeaten run.

Not a bad days work all in all.

Paxman II · Oct 7, 2017

2 points dropped. No punch up front. McNulty can't control or hold a ball up. We were poor for the majority of the game. Hope this is a one off performance and we do much better next game.

larry_david · Oct 7, 2017

Clean sheet, that's all really

Are they giving 4pts for a win to other teams then?

Yeah my bad, cursory glance at the table. I still think it was a cautious performance against a team there for the taking.

No we cant

Somebody beat you to it. I've replied to them, what did you think of the game

covcity4life · Oct 7, 2017

Good defebsive display. Rarely troubled. We control the games. Still need to work on attacking play but i am happy with the away point

Biamou motm. Worked socks off im both boxes ans unlucky not to score

PUSB!

Worst we can be is 6th.

No we can be 7th or are they only giving other teams 2 points for a win now .

Luton and Accrington are playing each other. If Luton win we go above Accrington on goal difference

oldskyblue58 · Oct 7, 2017

Awful game but it is a point to add to the total. Going to be plenty of games like this, it's league 2. What we need is to be more clinical in front of goal to turn one point in to three in such matches. The best I can say today is that they all battled and tried ..... That hasn't always been the case in previous seasons. Small steps and plenty of games to come so not disheartened

Sick Boy · Oct 7, 2017

10 points out of 12 and we still have complaints?!!

Well that's their first clean sheet in 11 matches so pretty poor really.

But we should beat sides as poor as this.

We should do but the season is still young and we have plenty of time to get going. I'm confident we will go up in the top 3.

Yep. Agree. Not going to win every game, so if we don't win then surely the next best thing is a draw and a clean sheet.

I am quite happy today. Follow that up with a win and the draw will look all the rosier.
