Pretty average, only really tested the keeper once and that from outside the box

Of course, but Thomas should have come on earlier. He saved us in the last game and his reward is to be left on the bench.

Disappointing. Worst display at home this season. But we still got a point from a very negative Blackpool. Keep your heads up at least not as bad as some of the rubbish we watched last season

Frustrating day but least we got a point and top 2 at start of day lost

However very worried about reda injury. He was excellent again and November will be rocky without him

I've never seen so much time wasting in all my life. We've got to get used to it. Seems teams are scared to come here even off the back of 3 wins.

This time last season we would have celebrated the clean sheet & valuable point as you & I seem to be.

You can tell he's not a goalscorer, in fact apart from the pen, I can't remember him having a shot in the last 2 home games.

I could take that if the rest of his game was good, his touch and hold up play was abysmal today. That said it was outstanding against Shrewsbury so hopefully just a blip

well once again a lot of City fans underestimated the opposition looking at the League table rather than recent form. Sometimes once the game pans out, disappointing performance or not, you sometimes have to be glad that you at least got the point rather than fall for the sucker punch.

I honestly don't think there was once when Fortune got the ball and didn't immediately turn his back to goal.

Not his fault the the midfield was so far away mind.

Ricketts and Stokes played very well, Stokes has improved massively over the summer.

It boggles the mind why Thomas was not brought on. Think TM was out-managed in the second-half.

Think he'd have been our 3rd sub had Reda not got crippled

Disappointing result rather than a poor result IMO. I'll take 1 point over 0 anyday.

A number of players had decent games which is what makes the result a bit frustrating.

Martin was solid, Fleck had a great game, RCC gives the defence a lot of confidence and his willingness to release the ball quickly looking for the counter is excellent, Stokes played very high up the pitch, and we almost played with 3 CB's at times and him as a wingback, and there wasn't much Reda didn't win in the air. He did almost get caught out early in the second half though when he got the wrong side of his man, and the best chance of the game was put wide by Blackpool.

Here's to Tuesday's game when we will bring home all 3 points (you heard it here first )

You have to look at the last 2 games. We would have been delighted had we drawn againt Fleetwood and then beaten Blackpool. 4 points from 2 games.

Well, all we have done is to achieve that but in the opposite order.

Clean sheet and didn't lose. A draw is okay today, especially if we can follow it up with a positive result on Tuesday night.

This is exactly the sort of match we have been losing since we came into league 1, Blackpool weren't a bad side and could have nicked it but our defence is now the most solid it has been since we were relegated.

Reda wins everything in the air, but he gives it straight back to the opposition nearly almost every time. Sometimes he can bring it down and play. He reminds me of a young centre back who's still learning the ropes, he rushes out his back four like a lunatic, gives away silly fouls and just generally isn't very good positionally. But because he heads the ball 35 yards he's a 'beast'. Bollocks.

Rochdale, Swindon and P'Boro left this month. 2x away, 1x home game.

7 points? I think we'll beat Swindon (finally), but I worry vs Rochdale and P'Boro....

We always seems to lose to Rochdale!! I thought we beat Swindon a couple of seasons ago.

Would be very very happy with 5 points from those 3.

Tudgay deserves another shot Tuesday. Played well at Rochdale earlier this season. It's another game undefeated and another clean sheet. Maybe the hangover from England under whatever duty had the effect Mowbray had mentioned previously.

Fortune was dreadful today. Everytime he receives the ball he has no intention of going forward

Yeh up we're not at the same level last season. Why has that upset you,,?
The way we have been playing this season that has been shite. Fortune wasn't great, and when he was okay he had nobody to play it to

What's your argument against what I have to say

It's going to happen. With a young squad, we are going to have off days and we have to accept that. We are going to have moments of brilliance, and we are going to have silly mistakes. Im okay with that if it takes us further forwards

Absolute bullshit

He was great again today and his passing was fine. If he does lose it it's because he's trying to make something happen with riskier pass rather than to Fleck. Sometimes it works sometimes it don't.

Your a joke jug

But at the same time, he rarely had anyone in front of him and at times near him. Kent needed to give him better options when on the Tesco side in the first half.
