We needed Sheaf for the height, but imo he breaks our fluidity.

Doesn't 4th make us a top-6 side?

“by some distance”

 

[mark82]

Only seen one poster say that.

Yep, think that was me and I'm still happy with a point away from home.

Same result West Brom got against these.

 

[Skybluefaz]

Same record as Fulham after 8 games. Impressive.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Disappointed is different to thinking we're better than we are. It's a good point, but I'm disappointed because we could've gone second with a win. Doesn't mean I'm not happy.

We had some great chances again for definite, but they were very dangerous going forward too and will probably be a bit disappointed too. If it weren't our 3rd game of the week perhaps we'd have nicked it

Waghorn for Godden for me.

You wanted Waghorn to come on to replace Godden then you to come on to replace Waghorn?

 

[PVA]

Good performance that, think we just shaded it overall.

 

[Perryccfc]

Don’t get me wrong it’s a good point away to them, tough place to go. But I thought last 20 minutes they were there for the taking.

never mind. Onwards and upwards PUSB.

Thought he played well. But I know what you mean, he’s doesn’t move about like Allen and it looks like he slows the play a bit. Different type of player though, decent range of passing today.

We looked a bit tired I thought, Gyo especially and then with to O'Hare going off we lost a lot of impetus

Changes needed making 10 minutes earlier I think

People saying they are disappointed?

We did beat them both times last season, one time easily, that's why.

Anyway, good game that.

Don't think it helps when you play on a Wednesday. Although think they played Wednesday too.

 

[Tommo1993]

Yeah I’m happy with a point. I’m trying not to be disappointed because I led myself down a stupid, naive path of thinking we’d win again.

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Also even more importantly we are 29 points away from safety

7/9 from these fixtures is a top return in any case. On to Peterborough who've had a cracking result today

No Godden for me (by request of the missus) then Waghorn for Godden to get her back.

Was Kane good today hopefully a better option than dacosta for us

Did he get injured again?

Guessing tactical as it shows at 45mins (replaced by Ntcham - former Celtic player?)

Needs more sharpness really but it'll come

 

[kg82]

I’m well drunk, but all I was thinking was how better we were than them everywhere on the pitch. Their goal was lucky. I’ll take the away point though.
As an aside, I thought Sheaf was fucking brilliant. We’ve got an absolutely brilliant squad.

Did ok and yes an immeasurably better option than DaCosta. Although so is my Nan tbf.

He's not Dabo but nobody is.

Some good some not so good. Still should have a number of games and a couple of months to get used to our style and intensity.

I'm not sure if he was under instruction or if maybe he was trying to conserve energy but there was quite a few occasions in the second half where he just didn't get forward enough.

Did OK overall though

 

[Evo1883]

Solid point overall .. looked tired at the end the break between now and Friday will do us good

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Averaging 2 points a game, on for 92 points

Played more like a RB and that stunted us going forward a bit IMO. One decent cross so hopefully he’s got it in him but wasn’t impressed today, can’t see him getting in the side with a fully fit squad.

Looked solid in defence I thought

Conversely a lot of their best play came down our left, first half certainly, and so you might argue he’s a good defender.

My lad wanted us to go for Ntcham, he was on a free i think

 

[Ccfcisparks]

I’d imagine he’d be on higher than our highest paid player

 

[Paxman II]

Most other results went in our favour today and we could well have won today, but somehow failed to connect on a winner that would have been deserved. They came through the middle too often where we tactically Kelly would have cut that out. Apart from that and a couple of man mountain players in their side, I never felt we would lose. Thought we were more likely to get a winner. Kane for me looks well out of his depth in this team. Hope he improves. Missing Dabo for sure. Salter great at times. Godden was looking likely to score. Gyokeres is something else. Thought Sheaf was good at times. Right player against this Milwall side, but he does need some shooting boots.
This is a great start, and I can only see us continuing in the same way.

Thought we took the second half to Millwall we got into a number of good positions on the bye line but we’re wasteful with the crosses across the goal, hit too hard or behind our incoming players thought we could have won but a draw away from home not to be sniffed at.

Looked at their disallowed goal again and Smith was definitely offside when the cross was sent in not sure of the rules nowadays but I assume the lino flagged because he was interfering with play, it’s one of them don’t think we would have been moaning had it been given.

 

[no_loyalty]

A decent point today, a fairly even game I thought, although we looked the more likely to win it in the last 10 minutes.
