[Grendel]

Interesting hearing the away commentators view on Biamou. Thought he was a handful all game.

Not really he’s useless and his found a partner that’s as useless - for a big player physically he’s so poor at using his body weight - he and Gyorkes was like watching two Bob Latchfords - when he was 35 it was turgid stuff

Guess a point isn't the end of the world, especially after the red card. But yet again it feels like a missed opportunity. As always it's ourselves making basic mistakes that cost us, and then missing so many chances. Should have been three points today, they were there for the taking.

 

[fernandopartridge]

He got a lot of criticism first half but Hyam was decent second half tbf to him

 

[Grendel]

Well done Hyam on a good second half after a terrible first.

I don't want to see Gyokeres again.

Hyam is ooor too slow and out of position and will always cost goals

 

[cc84cov]

Really?

100% offers more than Gyo

 

[no_loyalty]

A decent point in the end, did well to hold on for the last 8 minutes.

 

[Frostie]

Only a point behind Huddersfield now

 

[cc84cov]

Hyam is ooor too slow and out of position and will always cost goals

Still got caught flat footed he’s far too slow but will keep his place as osti is out

 

[cc84cov]

Only a point behind Huddersfield now

They play Brum Tuesday 0-0 would be nice

 

[mark82]

Huddersfield look to be in serious trouble. We need to get ahead of them ASAP. I was hoping today but that should be an aim for us, get above and stay above. They’re awful.

We really should be ahead of them by now.

 

[Frostie]

That’s a fair point. Davies got suspended for similar in L2 playoffs.

Not sure we'd want their captain & only decent CB suspended for games against our relegation rivals though.

I know you don't like him but he was good second half.

 

[Frostie]

We really should be ahead of them by now.

But for their freak battering of Swansea we would be

 

[DazzleTommyDazzle]

Bristol City beat Swansea 3-1 away. Puts into perspective our efforts, Swansea not playing well.

According to the BBC website, Swansea were all over them and Bristol only had 3 shots in the game,

 

[cov donkey kick]

It's another piont and the Yorkshire teams both lost so a good result.

 

[Grendel]

I know you don't like him but he was good second half.

Its not a case of not liking him he has been culpable for a lot of goals and will carry on doing so

 

[covcity4life]

March is huge. We need to win two out of 5. Minimum

 

[oscillatewildly]

Will begrudgingly take that point - more bouyed by other results to be honest. Well, I say 'bouyed', I'm in hysterics at Wendies result!

 

[Deleted member 9744]

Its not a case of not liking him he has been culpable for a lot of goals and will carry on doing so

As I say he was terrible first half. But he was good in the second.

 

[Marty]

100% offers more than Gyo

I'm sat at home at offer more, Baka is a complete waster, been given chance after chance and fails to take everyone.

 

[Liquid Gold]

I’ll happily get fucked over by Boro and Luton if it means we can get 2 wins and a draw against the other three.

Al said and done we’re coming out of Feb a lot better than we thought we would. We’ll stay up but we need to improve over the summer as we should already be mid table without the comedy errors.

 

[Frostie]

According to the BBC website, Swansea were all over them and Bristol only had 3 shots in the game,

Yep.
One goal was direct from a corner, another deflected in after charging down the keeper. Freak result.

 

[Evo1883]

A hefty portion of our remaining fixtures are against sides in the bottom half

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

Sam Macallum motm.

Did well today

 

[robbiethemole]

That must be the final nail in Shipley's coffin, totally anonymous in the first half and never heard his name after the shot he had

 

[Deleted member 9744]

Not a big Baka fan but I'd far rather see him than Gyokeres

 

[cc84cov]

That must be the final nail in Shipley's coffin, totally anonymous in the first half and never heard his name after the shot he had

And hyam he’s bamby on ice

 

[CCFCSteve]

Huddersfield have been dragged in to this now

How did they beat Swansea 4-1 !

 

[jordan210]

Need to win when the play the teams around us. That’s what will save a team this season

 

[Frostie]

As I say he was terrible first half. But he was good in the second.

He was much better in the 2nd half yes but it's been a recurring theme from him throughout the season. At what point do we accept that he's just not up to it?

 

[procdoc]

Didn’t watch or follow this thread. Happy with the point. Would have took it before kick off

 

[fernandopartridge]

Really?

Yes, he can control the ball in under a dozen touches, doesn't get knocked about by lightweight defenders, does actually head towards goal at times.

 

[Johhny Blue]

Anyone else think Ositgard would make a good centre forward?

Been saying that all season. And Da Costa is a winger

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

That must be the final nail in Shipley's coffin, totally anonymous in the first half and never heard his name after the shot he had

He did help set up the equaliser with a neat ball to Sam McC - just saying....

 

[oscillatewildly]

Not a big Baka fan but I'd far rather see him than Gyokeres

By a very slight margin.
