    As these games tick by I think it’s making it easier to see who and where the returning players need to slot in.
    In fairness I think Doyle and McCartan were ok together but aside of Connolly there was little attempt to properly support them.

    Cooke back in for me. Same with Pritchard and Devitt. Donaldson a cert.

    Good point.

    Interesting that those football aristocrats, that we are so inferior to, Crewe - needed a last minute equaliser at Macclesfield. A ground where we were told that a point wasn't good enough for us

    Swindon can afford a bad day, but imagine if we'd lost 2-0 at easily the worst team I've seen this season, Newport

    Could be simply that this is a tough division, with no very weak teams

    However, we need to win at misfiring Mansfield and then we're very much back on track

    You are talking nonsense. Of course a draw away from home against a promotion rival, unbeaten in 13 games is a good result

    How are they in form?

    They're drawing every week, what we just achieved was par for the course.

    #bcafc have had a total of 9 shots on target in their last 5 games gaining 6 points from a possible 15.

    #bcafc have had more than 5 attempts on goal in just 3 games this season.

    12 teams have scored either the same (2) or more amount of goals than #bcafc this current campaign

    After the last 60 minutes on Saturday. Fair play to the players for at least fighting it out at a tough place to visit

    Must now kick on and beat Mansfield

    No away win since october.

    Stat doesn't lie and you don't get promoted with this type of form.

    and the midfielder brought in to score goals and make assists has not played 1 single minute despite being on the bench after injury. Surely at least 15-20 mins in each game minimum, but no Boreyer loves to stifle anyone with any resemblance of creativity.
    Loves a 0-0 our Gary

    I've championed him but tonight he was sloppy with 4/5 simple passes, one that could have cost us a goal.
    But a point from a team on a 14 game unbeaten run I'll take that shame Crewe got a late goal, but still plenty of football to be played before the fat lady sings.

    Typical Bowyer: talks about commitment from both teams, bit unlucky because our one good shot hit the bar.

    Why are we always ruing one or two chances every game, we should be creating much, much more than just a long ranger from Taylor, we have the form striker in the United Kingdom playing for us and not a mention of a chance for him.

    Bowyer just does not get it.

    3 wins in 12.

    No away win since October 12th.

    9 shots on target in our last 5 games.

    And some are happy with that. Beggars belief.

    It isn't a bad result in isolation. What makes it feel like dropped points is the points we've lost in other matches we could/should have won.

    They beat swindon 3-0 on their ground and drew at Exeter Tottenham couldn’t beat them over 90 minutes a draw on a cold Tuesday down there is a very good point

    It is if everytime he gets the ball he either passes it backwards or to the other team. Which means the defenders know he's not going to do shit with the ball, so you have BRE trying to carry it forward, or Mellor simply hoofing it!

    He sucked any sort of attacking energy out of the team tonight, and we know he's capable of better but in his current from, Cooke would be far more preferable.

    Good point away to a promotion rival
    The dropped points against weaker teams make it look not enough
