Decent point away from home. Onwards and upwards!

A very valuable point in the end, after losing the midfield with the changes.

Yes probably right I forgot about him to be honest. Definitely closer to Vik in style than Walker and Godden

Great result but the change in formation nearly killed us!! Strange from MR that one as we were controlling the game easily. There was nothing wrong with a 0-0. Really no need to go for it. Just play the same and hope you can nick one. The jury is no longer out on Walker. He's fucking pony

Draw a fair result in the end. All went wrong when we changed our shape, that one has to go on the management team making that decision. Mcfadz and Moore absolutely fantastic at the end

Hopefully this answers the 2 up top being more attacking argument. Lose the midfield battle and it doesn’t matter if you’ve got 5 stikers. And we are losing the midfield battle.

Gyokeres and Godden would have been. Almost lost patience with walker on that

Will take that point.

Comfortable first half and the changes swung things in their favour. Not too bothered about going to two up front but think he should have just brought Godden on alongside Gyok for abit to see how it went and keep that ability to hold the ball. Godden and Walker together means he was going to have to keep two up top for the rest of the game even if it didn't work out. Then we didn't give them any service.

Sheaf being taken off was a bit odd.

Look to Brum and hopefully three points.

Would have took a point before kick off, think we should have beaten these, they looked poor and we didn't create much.

Godden and Kelly for Allen and Hamer (only due to the yellow) would’ve been my subs.

Edit: a point away from home is always great so this is not a criticism.

I am shocked, shocked I tell you, that a midfield pairing of Allen and Kelly wasn’t able to dominate the midfield in the last 10/15 minutes of the game. I understand why you’d take Hamer off, but we didn’t really compete after that.

Robins has a few questions to answer there. Again taking off our focal point away leads to us handing control of the game.

Gyokeres, Hamer and Sheaf were the best players on the pitch, madness taking them all off if there’s not a good reason.

Robins will be pleased with defensive performance but will be scratching head re the two up top

Walker and Godden has never worked together and the game has turned against us every time we’ve subbed them on together. Really bizarre decision from Robins.

We got very deep as a team there again, it had as much of an impact as the subs for me. When your 2 deep midfielders are picking the ball up so close to their own box then you're never going to play the type of football to supply 2 goalscorers playing without a target man.

Just Kelly for Hamer, then possibly Godden for Gyokeres in the last 10 mins. I wouldn't have gone 2 up top given we were in total control of the midfield with the box.

I think for those that don't rate Hamer or/and Sheaf, just look at us when they went off. A disjointed mess.

Taking Sheaf off was madness too. He was having a great game and taking his height out of the equation contributed to the ball coming back at us.

I think that also goes for people that think Kelly is of vital importance.

The guy is a legend but we've got better there now.

Overall the defence was really solid. Its obvious in January we have to recruit a bit more of attacking talent. Walker Im starting to think needs a loan out, and we have no back up to O'hare

It wasn’t bizarre, bringing them on is a genuine attacking option. Bringing Liam Kelly to play upfront you could class as bizarre

It’s small margins but it was a penalty on o hare he drew the foul but there was contact in the box and convert that we’d have won

Gyokeres still not 100-%
Would have taken Allen off not Hamer and we always go to shit when sheaf goes off

I do wonder whether he Allen and Walker some minutes and if so they’ve done nothing to push theit place in the starting 11 for me

Also Ohare definitely fouled for pen he just went down late. Never a yellow card dive for me. Happy to not give it if he thinks it’s not enough contact but not a yellow

Impressive first half performance and a point away from home. Sheaf really looks like his kicking on now he's a had a little run in the team.

Don't think the formation change worked but we still held out for a point. Hopefully that should give the lads a boost and we start building on our away performances

Must have Brum on his mind. Gyokeres is still feeling his ankle I guess. Hamer was on a tightrope after his yellow. Can't really explain Sheaf though.

For me he should have put on Godden 10 mins earlier up to with Vik. Try knick it
