I agree. I meant us as fans with “take a point away” and I’m one of the worst offenders with that mentality.

I get your point but like BSB said it's true for some away games but not today's imo

Might have to accept that there'll be games where Eccles alongside Grimes is gonna be what we need instead of Torp. I can see Eccles starting a fair few games once he's fit especially away from home.

 

[Shannerz]

But the game was there.

I agree with that; we weren't at our best, and if we had have been, we could have won.

But it's still a good point against a team that have got some extremely dangerous players at this level.

 

[David O'Day]

Does this mean we retain the "M69 cup"?

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

We played well for a good amount of the game so I’m not annoyed about it. They had the better chances. But the game was there to win. Not many will go there this season and do that.

We made a lot of poor decisions in and around the box for sure, but they had the better chances as you say. I think it’s a hard earned point and we move on.

 

[SkyblueTexan]

Wright could have won it. Let’s see what his injury is now.

Is he injured?

 

[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

I will regret saying this knowing my luck, but Rushworth looking good so far

And relax, Rushy is settling in nicely.

 

[hill83]

Happy to slightly wind back on 2 points dropped. But I did say if we are serious this season. Not many will turn up at Leicester and do what we did today.

 

[Liquid Gold]

Our backline looks better with the addition of Woolfenden.

I know he hasn't played but having the quality on the bench has scared the mistakes out of those on the pitch.

 

[Skyblue Bangkok]

He seemed fine after when he walked onto the pitch at the end

Just wish he was a bit more clinical at times.

 

[Tommo1993]

Point is alright but they looked more likely I think. Not much in it though.

 

[Nick]

He was given offside

Should have done much better with the one he put wide.

Although their striker had 4 working days to put it in the corner.

 

[theskyisthelimit]

Any word on emc injury? Hopefully he's back for brum gane

Think Lampard said it was a small injury and hopefully back next week

Offer fuck all going forwards and settle for a point? Game was there to be won

Wright had a good chance, bta another air kick.

 

[mmttww]

Offered fuck all going forwards today, is no one else pissed off at the lack if hunger going forwards?

No. We got the same number of points today as we did vs. Norwich. Football is a weird, low-scoring game. It's a 46 game season and we've had a better start with more consistency than the last two seasons.

 

[Tommo1993]

…and I’d rather have Simms than Ayew any day

Our keeper got m.o.m on sky.
I think our manager will be happier than there's with a point.
Especially with EMC being out injured and leaving us a bit unbalanced down our left side, which allowed Fatawu to have too much influence.

Don’t forget they are a parachute team though. We should have just bent over and taken it first minute.

 

[DT-R]

Plenty to be positive about.
•Clean sheet.
•Still not lost (can we be the invincibles)
•Kept a very, very good teams chances to pretty much shots from outside the box.
•Eccles and Simms both looked good after coming on.
•Rushworth MOM. Hopefully this is the turning point and confidence booster he needed.
•A point away from home (win your home games and draw away)

Not so good though,
• A fair few looked knackered today. And our bench was used only as a last option. Still our lack of depth is concerning
•Still silly individual errors happening across the pitch. Stray passes, poor positioning, and lack of urgency at play for a fair few today!

On the whole, more to be positive about than negative so a good point on the road.

Be nice to win a game again soon. Great to still be unbeaten but only 2 wins from the games we’ve had feels a tad disappointing.

Feel like I’m being overly harsh this season but it just really feels like there is an autos place up for grabs so setting high standards as I think we have the ability to grab it.

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Hamstring

 

[HadjiChippo]

We have to be realistic, you just have to look at how they stayed strong as they made subs, and were able to make like for like changes bringing on some really decent players, whilst we run our starters into the ground before we make subs.

We have a starting 11 that can rival almost anyone in this league on their day, but scratch the surface and we’re a little short in attacking depth on these tight playoff 6 pointers, especially with injuries. The quality drop off is pretty large.

 

[Grendel]

Should have done much better with the one he put wide.

Although their striker had 4 working days to put it in the corner.

The difference between him and simms is in reality it wasn’t easy at all and Simms would have either not got a shot in or ballooned it out the ground.

If haji gets injured we are fucked

 

[mmttww]

and if you wanna measure progress, we were sh*t away from home last season. Lots of signs we've put that behind us. Last season we lose that game. No doubt in my mind.

I agree. But do we wait until next season before we are allowed to be annoyed with drawing an away game we could have won? Even the massive parachute boys Leicester.

This in spades. We showed plenty of metal.

people forget they are a very good side still!

take point and move on.

 

[mark82]

We didn't deserve anything more than a draw.

Agree. Think we were fortunate to get that to be honest.

 

[wingy]

No falling over and getting the physios on from our boy's and only 4minutes injury time

 

[bigfatronssba]

Best defensive performance of the season so far

 

[Winny the Bish]

Take the point and run lads.

 

[duffer]

I'm not unhappy with that, we played some decent stuff, kept at it, and managed the last fifteen pretty well without having to pull a Norwich to survive.

Could've been better, but could also definitely have been worse. Well earned point, imho.

 

[fernandopartridge]

It wasn't really though, we couldn't go gung ho as Leicester looked dangerous on the break away. We didn't look as fluid because of that, and we missed EMC who takes up good positions to create space for others.

 

[mmttww]

do we wait until next season before we are allowed to be annoyed with drawing an away game we could have won?

No, but we're six games in. I'm glad we've made a solid start. Today's probably the toughest test we've had so far and we came out of it with a well earned point that we'd not have managed last season.

and if we're around where we are now in Jan, I'm expecting we'll pick up a Torp or Grimes level player, maybe two if we don't recall either Obikwu or Raphael, and keep rumbling. Feeling chilled atm.

 

[mark82]

If we are serious this season that’s 2 points dropped. Had enough of take a point away.

In isolation, decent point. Too many draws though - it's still dropping points and we've done it in 4 of 6 games. We need to start winning some of these.
