Good point, would have taken that at the start. Biamou looked leggy and off the pace. Subs were an odd decision but at least it is one more point than I expected from this run of games.

Hardly, our striker is not effective at this level and we missed a couple of excellent headed chances.
HOpe the players can stay confident and take the positives out of that even if some of our fan base think we are now nailed on for relegation

The chances missed defy belief some of them

Daylight robbery Watford getting a point they didn’t turn up, let them off the hook big time.

100%. Our fanbase is appalling sometimes.

We've just bossed one of the best teams in the division, it was basically a Premier League side vs a League One side & but for missing some very decent chances we'd have won the game.

Ohare man of the match
Another point towards safety we a a decent striker short of being a very good team

Gonna add Ostigard. To big 3.
The big 4! Hamer, James, Ohare. Osti.

Ohare motm. Followed by James.

You won't watch too many better 0-0s.

Held on well at the end. Marosi a big save. And thank the woodwork, about time someone else hit it!

Should have won, better than Watford but the sky commentators just go on about how poor Watford are instead of how well we managed the game , more luck required .

And who is this maroshi guy ?

If you can't see that the players put in a shift, tried to win against a good team, and that it's a decent point, you need to have a word with yourself, or a reality check. I was proud of that performance. James' positional play is excellent and Da Costa looks to be a big plus.

Solid performance from the team, Robins despite this forum having a semi meltdown didn't get it wrong at all today... We once again missed the chances to win the game... But we played well

Nope, agree. Only other option was Gyokeres for Biamou, but Hamer did look shot and O'Hare had ran himself into the ground.

He took off O'hare and Hamer who were our two best players.

Really max one it was behind him still should have scored

hyam ducked rather than volley it in and then didn’t direct it

Hardly defy belief

We have just outplayed the team in fourth. Our best two chances unfortunately fell to Hyam, and he failed to take them.

I absolutely would have taken a point before kick off but watching the game there's only one team who should be content with it.

So you think the substitutions and timing of them was good do you?

Hamer was fantastic for 70 mins then just went to shit and could barely run, didn't look injured, just knackered.

It isn't, this is part of the problem.

What is on paper and what happens on the pitch are two entirely different things.

Games are dynamic and this mentality that we should be start stuck to be where we are is a bit silly.

If you genuinely think that they were our best players then that's your opinion, albeit a baffling one. For me Østigård & James were miles better.

Hamer had one of his poorer games & looked absolutely shattered, wasn't surprised he went off. I'd have probably hooked Allen or Biamou rather than O'Hare but hey ho.

Don't know why he took O'Hare off but Hamer was fucked.
To be fair to Shipley he didn't put a foot wrong in our half though equally he didn't put a foot right in their half.

Talking about the Penalty chance now. It maybe could've been but think they rarely give those.

In that case stop worrying about opposition teams. More often than not they turn out to be not very good!

If you would have made different changes than the manager, then why do you get so upset when other people also state that? Especially when most people are in a consensus that his changes come too late and are often strange.

Your approach is baffling.
