Hard though when our bench is so weak, we can only do like for like subs or switch to 2 up front. That said I don't get why Giles has become persona non grata

I felt we could’ve done more down the left, it mostly always feel we make our subs ten or fifteen minutes too late.

I would have loved us to nick that. But happy with a point and a clean sheet against a team who dont concede and are difficult to beat.

We were a bit rocky at times and put our keeper in a couple of difficult situations first half.

We created a few chances and bit of a mixed bag over all. But another clean sheet is an improvement on our opening games.

Disappointed with a point there. Stoke were nothing to be feared and we gave them way more credit than they deserved. Should have won.
Swansea were more to be feared and we beat them...they sit second

good point tho and clean sheet I’ll take 3 points against Preston tho but my money is on 0-0 our goals have dried up

They just took over the game and we had no answer, delighted we haven't lost that

We always seem to tire on the hour. Another reason I don’t like the “contain them until 75 mins” strategy we’ve adopted this season. Giles and one of Baka and Biamou would’ve given us an out ball earlier.

Don’t get me wrong I’m happy with the point. Just always feel a sense of “what if” when it comes to our use of subs.

I can understand why Giles didnt cone on as mcallum was defending well

Maybe shoukd be more gung ho but every point is vital and I can understand why Robins doesn't wanna take any risks

We were slightly better first half , they were second half. Fair point and we’re 7 clear of Rotherham , who although have 2 games in hand have still got to win them. Much rather have points on the board. Was atleast more entertaining than the other 0-0 we have had.

Take the point and move on. We could have given them more of a game with better changes but they could and maybe should have been out of site.

It's not as though we're not creating chances but we really need some more composure when we get close to goal, people look afraid to have a crack except Hamer and Godden

We've lost 8 games in 21. Think I'd have taken that when the season started. Looking pretty solid at the back now, which is a massive improvement on the first 6/7 games. It's not pretty, but we are holding our own in a division that we could only dream of a few seasons ago. Every point is a bonus and good for confidence. When you actually look at some of our squad quality (Lg1 & Lg 2 players) it's a real achievement. MR has a plan and sticking to it. MG looks a much better option up front so when fit again, he'll nick a few which could swing a tight game.

We drew against Swansea. We didn’t beat them.

Good point well earned, if quite fortunate. Bit of a shit watch second half as we looked promising going forward in the first.

We got away with a few and gave some sloppy chances away pissing around with it at the back.

Sheaf, Allen, Hamer and COH all played well. MCallum the worst of the starters.

Id be putting Bapaga on ahead of Baka who, if we are honest, has no future at the club.

Would have took a point before the game. A team with even a tiny bit more quality would’ve beaten them 2/3-0, but that’s where we are at with these players. On to a winnable game at Preston.
