Throwing away points from yet ANOTHER winning position is without doubt embarrassing and shameful....

fair bit of hysteria on here
stand back and realise a 1-1 draw v Bradford is not the end of the World
we are piss poor, we know that but every point is a bonus right now
with every game TM see the problems more clearly and can go about putting it right
33 points still to play for girls

No, you're right. Sorry! I am proud of this team, my club, the players, their performances, their league position, our beautiful home and our fantastic owners. I don't know what I was thinking. It's almost like I forgot that we can nick the odd win at the last minute or how some of our players can roast a free kick in the top corner from nothing. No - we have reasons to be proud AND positive.

I would have settled for a point before kick off tonight - a step in the right direction.
Yes, and Mowbray's form is improving.
I didn't go but it sounds like we created chances which surely is a bonus compared to where we were. Mowbray hasn't been allowed to bring his coaches on board and I've heard that is about to change so I'm sure things will improve more once this happens.
Someone pointed out that there is 33 points left to play for and we've got 5 of the 19 we needed to stay up, we're starting to create chances so I reckon we'll just scrape it. Let's give TM a little time and support and I'm sure he'll deliver.

Not a bad point tonight, considering no one else played tonight we gained a point on all our rivals.
We need wins quickly though, I'm concerned we can't seem to play for more than 45 mins. We completely run out of steam after 60 minutes whereas Bradford were only getting stronger.

No worries!
Normally I'd always be campaigning for 3 points, but I'll take 1 where we can get it against oppositions like tonight's

Good to hear Mowbray being honest in his post match interview even if he will probably get an early warning about being critical towards the ref.
Makes me wonder if he's going to look for a keeper as although he didn't want to be overly critical of Burge he did highlight the way tonight's goal was conceded again!!
Be interesting to see if he finds a keeper with a bit of experience which Pressley stated wasn't out there.

I'm gonna stick up for Burge a bit here.
Saturday he was given dogs abuse for being beaten on the walls side with people saying he was too far over, today he tries to correct that and is then beaten on the opposite side and criticised again (which is a point I made on Saturday after the free kick)
That said I would welcome an experienced keeper but I don't think Burge is as shit as people make out, he would probably benefit from a loan at a L2 team.

First game tonight for a while and I could see an improvement. Small but none the less an improvement. The reason it's been a while is because I've struggled for motivation because the last game I was at (Swindon) we were so poor it was painful. I have to say despite I think we probably could /should have won tonight I'm feeling a little more optimistic again so I'll be at the Doncaster game. Hopefully it we get some good performances in the next few games we might get some more bums on seats.
Much better performance compared to Saturday. first half we were excellent and showed the will to win and desire that we were missing, only downside apart from the referee seeming to miss countless incidents and the Bradford goalscorer putting his foot through the advertising board was Proschwitz missing that late sitter.

Just got back ... yes 2 points dropped for me ,wasnt the best game but we created the clearer chances and shouldve scored 4 . We missed 3 sitters .
The distribution from the back is still terrible , websters lightweight header leading to martins needless foul basically cost us 3 points .
Happy but dissapointed at the same time

It's still concerning me that we are running out of steam late on. MK, Port Vale and Bradford have all pinned us back second half recently.
You can say fair enough on MK as they are a good side but Port Vale and Bradford are both pretty average and we just seem to wilt and the energy levels completely disappear in the second half whilst the opposition have just been getting stronger.

Positives:
1) Its the best I have seen Tudgay play, TM seems to have lighted a fire in him. He was all over the pitch and created a few decent chances.
2) Nouble worked harder than he has previously, albeit to the detriment of his decision making.
3) We missed three sitters. While that in itself is not great, when was the last time we could moan about missing three genuinely golden chances such as those.

Its the worse conversion rate in the division, seems to tie in with what I've been saying that are second half performances for whatever reason have been absolutely pathetic lately.
Disappointed to come away with just a point on the balance of the chances we created - The chance for the BFG (big fucking German) was the one to win it for us. We were excellent in the first half, in the second I thought that Phillips and O'Brien being forced off interrupted our flow.
Free-kick for their goal was an unnecessary one to give away, it was an ugly tackle from Martin, so he shares the part-blame with Burge for the free-kick going in. Fair play to Burge for bouncing back and keeping out the Hanson header though, it was a superb stop. It was about the only save he had to make all game.
Whilst we can yak on about an improvement in performance, which it was, Pressley was getting slated about it being a results business and over the course of the past 7 days we've picked up 1 point out of 9 which isn't going to be good enough to keep us in this league.

You can never day fair enough about Franchise FC, in the same way you can never say fair enough about RFC Franchise playing at the Ricoh.
