Missed our goal because internet went off but good battling performance and they are an in form team hmmm they have a good counter but we more than matched them WITH 10 MEN well done the lads PUSB

Nope just 1

Great result after the sending off, but now 3 more games without Willis.

Only 1 game isn't it unless classed as a really bad foul or whatever it's called sorry a tad inebriated

 

[stevefloyd]

Ok I am pissed

 

[Littlewood CCFC]

It was very very soft, I can see why he's angry about it to be fair but the ref wanted to even it up after the Red (which was a sending off)

I dont think it was a sending off at all, the strikers touch was very heavy and the ball was clearly running through to burge.

 

[Liquid Gold]

A 1-1 before the game id have probably taken. A 1-1 with us spending a lot of time with 10 men definitely. It still feels like we could have set up differently and taken the initiative though.

 

[stevefloyd]

Have to say Ponti battled well when he came on

 

[sw88]

As soon as Willis went off I’d have taken a point

I’m glad that the team that have a little fight in them turned up rather than the one we’ve seen the last three league games

Always nice getting a result which clearly upsets the opposition manager too, especially when that manager is Evans

JCH put himself about well and I’m glad he got a goal. Not convinced it was a penalty but overall we deserved a point and that was the only way we were scoring

Bar Haynes’ effort which actually led to the corner which we won the pen from, I’m not sure we created many openings

Roll on tuesday

To be honest, and I’ve only watched ifollow on a phone in a Berlin pub, it looked like they just tangled legs while Burge already had the ball

 

[stevefloyd]

Never realised it was a pen we had

 

[mark82]

Hi all, been out for the day without any internet. On the face of it seems a decent result with 10 men for most the game, albeit not what we really needed. Leaves us needing to go pretty much unbeaten now though to reach the automatics I would think. Seems like yet another season of disappointment. Typical City I suppose.

How was the performance? When I saw the team sheet before I went out looked like we were setting up with the same negative tactics that have been our downfall all year. Did we at least have a go or were we just making every effort not to lose as usual?

Seemed like we got some promising positions but gave away the ball very quickly. Some smarter decision making in the opposition half would have gone a long way today.

Ok not a pen fuck me good job spell checks on

 

[fernandopartridge]

Well done boys. Well deserved point and responded well to the sending off. We managed the game well after the equaliser.

Eine. Bloody English

 

[higgs]

Reality check, we should be safe in autos not a distance from playoffs.

It is what it is

Robins

Started off brightly

Brightest we’ve been in a while

Tried to nullify them

One ball caught us out

Willis caught out on back foot and Rose was always going to go down under slightest of touches

Spoke at HT we need to stay in it

Penalty stuck away brilliantly and we deserved a point

Magnificent quality showed in second half

Take the point and we move on

Could prove to be a massive point

We have to be on the front foot and show desire

Have to go out without fear

Should give us a real confidence boost

Haven’t spoke with Willis yet but we know we shouldn’t get caught out like that

They tried to catch us out with pace

Hamilton’s pace caught us out at times

Kept them out well with 10 men.

Deserved a point

Their threat was down their left so had to make the change to get balance right

Hyam has some game time after only just dropping back out the team

Need to make sure we have a goal threat

All against a side flying st the top of the league

Coped with everything they through at us

Testament to the players

Attacked with a decent amount of quality

Thank gully one of the chances were converted

JCH didn’t get involved in the ridiculous antics

Rediculous antics on the touch line

JCH given us everything

Looks a threat

Want to build on this

Manner of result I really pleasing

Few unhappy voices in terms of outputs

Need to get on with job in hand

Great point

Terrific performance

We’ll have plenty of confidence

 

[sw88]

Doyle on 9 yellows. 1 away from a 2 game ban

 

[lifeskyblue]

Cheers for that sw. I think that could prove the most valuable point of season.

I take it all back great result with 10 men

 

[skybluepm2]

Terrific result. Dogged performance, 3 points would’ve been a certainty if we’d had XI men for 90 minutes. Lots of positives today, I only hope we can build on this on Tuesday. Glad we shut those horrible tossers up, awful little town which is an absolute nightmare to get to. SBA in fine voice, really proud of the boys tonight. Buzzing. On to Wycombe!!

 

[Fergusons_Beard]

Could well be the turning point of the season.

Especially if we win on Tuesday.

Proud to be a Skyblue and proud to have been in that away end with our terrific supporters.

Btw Evans refused to shake Robins hand at the end and a massive indicator what a dickhead he is.

Robins held his cool and a massive indicator what a great man our manager is.

Really did manage Evans well today.

He’s an embarrassing excuse of a human being. Will be interested to hear his interview. Sour grapes will surely be on the menu.

 

[sw88]

Doyle;
That lad goes down with a bit of wind (talking about Rose) :emoji_smile:

 

[skybluepm2]

Doyle’s interview. Brilliant. ‘A gust of wind and that guy falls over’. great to have him back today!

 

[Otis]

Great point today.

Forget about what we were seeking pre match. From being 1-0 down and down to 10 men to then pull out a draw is commendable.

 

[stupot07]

Great point, it stops the rot, let's hope its the catalyst to kickstart the season.

Bottom 8 doing us a huge favour vs top 10 today.

 

[chiefdave]

Decent point, especially considering the sending off. Next 2 games are huge. Can't afford to lose midweek. If we manage that and then get a win next Saturday the gap should close right up.

They certainly chalked up a few % today!
