About time we won here, a few glasses of turps in Sheffield en route. 1-2

Edited October 7, 20187 yr by Biggish Dave

I’d of settled for that 20mins ago, the main thing is not losing at clubs like that

Good point but please Parky no more 3-5-2 and we must start winning out  home games.

A point away , suppose we should be happy with that .....Need to get some points on the board these next 2 home games.

A draw away to one of our relegation rivals denying them a win.

Good to hear doige get his first as he seems like a confident player from what i have seen but still finding his feet
 

Please for the lad well done 

home form needs addressing 

said id take a point 

Our next few games are winnable.

Cracking finish, and good work from Donaldson to win the ball and a none too shabby pass to Doidge either. Well done Parky for changing it up - he can’t be accused of not going for it with us finishing with such an attacking line up.

Great finish that.

Going off the highlights it looks like we could have easily lost that.

A point away is never a bad thing - roll on Wednesday night.

Should be looking to pick 4 points up from next two 

Decent save from the keeper for the pen. 

Am I the only one thinking Alnwick should have done better for theirs?

I think Alnwick is in wrong position

Aye

No reason we can't beat forest but they draw a lot so would be happy enough with a point given our shaky home form, but we have to be beating the likes of hull at home if we don't want to flirt with the bottom three

Let us not pretend otherwise.

Two awful teams.

They were better than us.

We were lucky to get a point.

Had that finished 1-0 everyone would be 

rightly furious.

The first half was a joke.

Agree but score pen and we win 2-1 and with a midfield as bad as any in the championship.

Which part of the first half was a joke? They scored as many as we did, we saw plenty of the ball, played the much heralded two up top and hit the post for good measure?

It was a League 1 quality game for me but we've shown we can be better than that.

Interesting to see Iles confirm Oztumer was simply left out today, not injured. Not even warranting a place on the bench? Bit much that.

Oztumer wouldn’t of affected that game today. In fact I don’t think many midfielders in the world would of, our midfield was bypassed for the entire game. I honestly can’t remember us stringing more than 5 passes together and if we carry on like that we’re in big trouble. 

 On a positive note, Donaldson was inpressive and Doidge took his goal well. Surely only a matter of time before he gets a run of games.

Exactly.  Papered over the cracks with a draw.  We should be going to teams like this and having a good go.  First half was garbage.  First 10 of the second half ok, then crap until last 10. My god, they weren't great, so who are we actually going to have a go at ??

 

the worry is, we go a goal down and don't really look like getting back in it and overall we just don't look like scoring.

 

our set pieces today when we had a chance to get the ball in the box were terrible, what do we work on during the week?  Is it that hard to swing a ball into the box ??

Spot on. It was terrible from us. When we say 2 awful teams it's like saying Barcelona and Sheff Utd are both good teams.

Not sure why you think there is no reason we can't beat forest. They dont lose away games (1 all season), we don't score goals at home. I'd take a point all day long.

You can't take a view on today without taking account of missing that pen

We were better than them and should've won

Our goal is fantastic and hopefully gives doidge a massive boost 

I agree about our goal and the pen is a key aspect to the game, but they attacked us at will for long periods and always looked dangerous.  They hit the bar and miss at least 2 point blank headers.  So in my view, we were not better than them.

A point is a reasonable result here as their home record is decent. We could do with a good home win next week though.
