Well it wasn't great.
Positive is another clean sheet but we need to force things a lot more.
Kelly played well - looks very good in this league. Jones was blocked out for large parts.
Ponticelli from what I saw will only play a bit part in games. Robins wants forwards to work as defensive cover and I think he will need time to work on it
Shows also how misleading stats are - 17 shots on target but only 2 of any real worth.

McNulty never looked like scoring - get him out on loan to get his confidence up

Shot on target can also be misleading to be fair.

Some people need to lighten up. Still 4th in the league and will still be in the play offs at the end of the day, regardless of results.

That’s true enough but I worry that it’ll be Biamou who will lose his place and whilst he didn’t look in it for much of today, he does seem to have built up a good partnership with Duck in comparison to Duck + McNulty

Well yes Kelly and the scramble at the end were the only two real chances - a couple of pass backs as well

Could have been better, but not a bad result for a game that had banana skin written all over the whole broadcast.

I think we all feel he should have brought on Pont earlier.
Give the lad at least twenty minutes, it's not fair on the lad to push him on with ten minutes left.
Anyway a point is a point and we move on to the Wham Stadium, wonder if Andrew Ridgely is playing upfront for them

ive said it before but not scoring from set pieces (excluding penalties for the pedantic!) will be our downfall

Dust ourselves down and move on. It’s league two and terrible games like this are going to happen. Still a point away from home, another clean sheet and unbeaten run continues.
Before the season started I’d have snapped your hand off for 4th and 2 points off top with 12 gone.

Rubbish match
Wasn’t great
Very little in it
First half dire
Second half bit better
Barnet without a few first team era
Had energetic players
Our crowd were terrific
Created more in second half than first
Disappointed haven’t brought home 3 points
Got to thank their GK for keeping them in it
Come away with clean sheet
Missed Duck
We have a couple of strikers who are desperate to score
Wouldn’t say was convinced a goal was coming but convinced we were increasing pressure
Ponticelli had great support from fans and will do him world of good
Lots of positive but won’t be a game people won’t remember
McNulty has played wide for Sheff U before and has had to do defensive work
Not a wide player or winger and I know that
Not done enough to win it but happy enough against Barnet
Another tough game next week. Have a week to work before we go again

If we want to get out of this division via the autos, we have to be more courageous away from home. Would they have held out like that if we'd have gone at them the same way first half? I know most people will be happy overall to win our home games and pick up a point away but to rely on maintaining our home form for the rest of the season is going to be a tough ask.

Ha genius bit of commentary by Clive there that they just played back: "I'm a little bit surprised that McNulty didn't shoot himself there!"

Yeah my bad, cursory glance at the table. I still think it was a cautious performance against a team there for the taking.

Luton and Accrington are playing each other. If Luton win we go above Accrington on goal differenceNo we can be 7th or are they only giving other teams 2 points for a win now .

Awful game but it is a point to add to the total. Going to be plenty of games like this, it's league 2. What we need is to be more clinical in front of goal to turn one point in to three in such matches. The best I can say today is that they all battled and tried ..... That hasn't always been the case in previous seasons. Small steps and plenty of games to come so not disheartened

Well that's their first clean sheet in 11 matches so pretty poor really.

But we should beat sides as poor as this.

We should do but the season is still young and we have plenty of time to get going. I'm confident we will go up in the top 3.

Yep. Agree. Not going to win every game, so if we don't win then surely the next best thing is a draw and a clean sheet.
I am quite happy today. Follow that up with a win and the draw will look all the rosier.
