    So, we've "worked our socks off" and "applaud the team for coming away with a point".

    This is how low we've become.

    Dogged, defensive effort.....

    Was always going to be tough at Newcastle. It was Newcastle we were playing, right?

    Only real positive to take from these last two games is it must surely underline to Bowyer, Rhodes and Rupp that more investment is needed if we want a top 7 challenge

    Presumably he is a Sunday League manager because he adds no value to the commentary. Oh for the return of Gary Jones or Wayne Jacobs.

    This is the trouble when your midfield is garbage. That’s the missing piece of the puzzle.

    Either the first two games gives GB the ammo to convince SR to to back him to bring the players into play 433 or we go with 442. We looked dangerous the last 15 minutes. I'll take the pelters from my opinion on Anderson because he was poor again today, on the other hand Gibson looks like he has something to me, cuts out some of the tricks and flicks he tries that aren't needed and I think he will develop into a player.

    Posted the same at half time but Henley is on the wrong side, makes it quite difficult for us IMO. Put Doyle on the bench and let Donaldson and Vaughan play together, they showed they are clever in the last 15.

    Lots to work on.

    The word from the first 2 games is ‘frustrated’. And it lays with bowyer.

    I saw the line up before Cambridge and thought Henley at left back in a 433 would Leave us short on width down the left. Doyle at 10 seemed strange. And Anderson playing with Scannell on the bench makes no sense.

    We need more quality. But even with what we’ve got, 442 with Gibson and Scannell wide, and Devine and Palmer in the middle makes more sense. And we improved after those changes.

    How much money can we keep throwing at it?? We have a good enough squad. We aren't playing the right system.

    Much as I may have predicted a DRAW ......... Let's learn from this.
    MUCH as I was perhaps joking about McCartan being a 'deadball specialist' ......... Can we please keep PALMER well away from these ? He's utter schitt ! Really, he is.
    A point maybe more than we deserved, and BOWYER needs to improve ..... Vastly !!

    Why does Devine make sense. Done norhing for 2 years, and not good enough.

    Im with Fordy, puzzling that Anderson and Devine were offered contracts. Even more puzzling that we are allowing Colville to mess us about for 3 months
