[Razzle Dazzle Dean Gordon]

Not a great result but hopefully the clean sheet and absence of any massive bollocks being dropped will boost our confidence at the back a bit.

0/1 from our run of ‘winnable’ games

Dangerous mentality having "Winnable" games.

 

[fernandopartridge]

Get your quids on Wycombe to beat Brentford by 3

It's been 3 points for a win for 40 years or so mate

 

[covcity4life]

So much doom and gloom on here

I am happy with that performance. Played some lovely stuff st times.

Yes we didn't make enough chances but it wasn't atrocious in any way.

Could be a valuable point. Looking forward to next game. It's good signs to be better team most games. Results will come

 

[ccfcway]

Full time 0-0

1 chin on target

 

[rockdude101]

It’s a point gained in the end they had the better chances

Tells you all about our chances! A point against a relegation rival like Birmingham will not save us.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Juke let us off big time. If they gave him a partner it would've been all over.

 

[Cov kid 55]

Ok, it was poor, but I don’t think the tactic was bad. We know we are conceding too many goals, so to try to keep it tight for 70 mins and then change up to try and win it was right. I think we should have taken Dabo off earlier and brought Giles on, which would have improved our attacking options. To say we had a number of players off the pace tonight (Dabo, Shipley, McCallum, O’Hare) and still managed to keep a clean sheet, shows that the tactic worked. Plus, of course, a fantastic save by Marosi.

 

[clint van damme]

Juke should've had a hattrick tonight

But he didn't even get 1 so fuck him.

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

Minutes into Dabo, Kelly and a point are the biggest pluses. No obvious injuries picked up. Take that and forget the rest!

 

[Frostie]

Not a great result but hopefully the clean sheet and absence of any massive bollocks being dropped will boost our confidence at the back a bit.

We didn't look any more secure though & that's against a relatively poor side. Jutkiewicz could have had a hat-trick

 

[Sky_Blue_Dreamer]

For all the 'defensive solidity' we conceded 3 gilt edged chances yet created nothing. It stops the rot but was very disappointing. Fair chance we'll be in the bottom 3 this weekend if not bottom.

Could argue our most valuable player was Jukebox. Should've had at least two.

 

[HuckerbyDublinWhelan]

pros: clean sheet, no reds, no penalties.
cons: dire game of football

 

[fernandopartridge]

For all the clowns who go on about Sheaf being a liability, we missed his ability to go two ways when he went off. I like Kelly but he's nowhere near as dynamic.

 

[Liquid Gold]

What a shocker that the opposition had the better chances. That must be, what, the 12th time this season?

Lovely stuff to be in the bottom 3 this weekend

 

[Johhny Blue]

Juke should've had a hattrick tonight

And Max according to Grendel

 

[Liquid Gold]

Apart from when we allowed 4 free headers in the box, played the man through but he fell over and changed things making things worse? Yeah no bollocks dropped.

 

[JulianDarbyFTW]

You enjoyed that

Yep. I like the way we play football. I'd rather watch our style of play every week than Birmingham's.

 

[Il Pirata]

Ok so a draw is disapointing. But a clean sheet almost seems like 3 points. The turning of a corner can be slow.

Hopefully not as slow as Kelly's movement on the field tonight.

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Yep. I like the way we play football. I'd rather watch our style of play every week than Birmingham's.

Their style has yielded more chances tonight and also more points this season

Sad thing is it will make your weekend

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

But he didn't even get 1 so fuck him.

No but the point is this 'so much tighter with a back 4' is only there because the oppo missed sitters. We were still making the same mistakes.

 

[matesx]

Where are the wins coming from?

That was shit

 

[Briles]

Clean sheet much needed.

 

[Liquid Gold]

Minutes into Dabo, Kelly and a point are the biggest pluses. No obvious injuries picked up. Take that and forget the rest!

Unfortunately we can’t forget a track record of threatening fuck all on the opposition’s goal and being unable to change games.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Sad thing is it will make your weekend

More sarcy bollocks I'm saying I want more ambitious football and you're sat there praising Jackett ball

 

[AOM]

This tit on CWR saying he's buzzing with a 0-0 result and we should send "Callum from Norwich" back.

Same bloke who said losing to Middlesbrough was a good result

Most ofnsitters were when we changed back to 3?

@covcity4life probably

 

[Monners]

A good point. Made sure we kept it tight. Walker looked good. Marosi did well.

The system we started with doesn’t suit us, but I understand why he did it - make sure we don’t lose.

 

[Liquid Gold]

Sad thing is it will make your weekend

Actually sounds like it’s pissing him off as opposed to him skipping along ignoring yet another shit result thinking it’s going to turn around at some undetermined point.

 

[Johhny Blue]

It's been 3 points for a win for 40 years or so mate

They must have slipped that in while I wasn’t looking

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Juke's free header wasn't and we were giving the ball away for fun in our own third first half

I'm sure if I look back through previous match threads you'll be moaning about goals conceded.
