    You're in luck this season then, because Captain Safety has managed 7 away draws.

    The consequence is that we've the 14th best away form in the league!

    CELEBRATE GOOD TIMES, COME ON!

    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.

    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.

    Who says anyone's "happy with that"? Some of us are happy with our position and respect this division, plus feel that given the disruptive nature of injuries to key players - there is no reason for the doom and gloom merchants

    Unfortunately, as all the teams in the race have noticed, there are no easy games. More fool you, if you thought we were should 'tearing up' this league

    Incidentally, I was as pissed off as you probably was at 1655hrs on Saturday

    The problem with Reeves is he has to do 2 or 3 pirouettes with the ball before he does anything just to say look at me I'm Jakes Reeves. Gets dispossessed countless times. Can see why Hopkin wasn't keen.

    Taken in total isolation and not looking at the actual performance, the result of a draw against a top eight club away from home, is acceptable.

    However it is the poor home form, and the crap results against lower end clubs away, which is really costing us. Losing at Creepy, drawing against Scunthorpe, drawing at both Carlisle and Leyton Orient, and drawing at against Salford at home, have cost us a lot of points, roughly 7-10 points lost in those matches alone.

    So it is all about perspective and balance. Somehow (given other teams are not putting runs together), we are still in the top six. Unbelievable Jeff!!!!

    I have but I'm only using using the Cambridge and Forest Green matches so we were averaging no goals a game.

    That's how it works right?

    Alternatively, if you want the truth, we'd scored 20 goals during Claytons 14 appearances this season.

    This nutter did a Tuesday night at Colchester about 5 years ago, we lost 2-0(Brad Jones in goal)...turned out to be a bit of a watershed for Parky (remember plenty calling for his head afterwards...19th in League), but we then got Kyle Reid back on loan and made the play offs!...so there is hope.

    Not played badly first half.
    If we come out fired up, Devitt Pritchard off the bench, should win.

    Mellor and Reeves need rockets to just go forward. Everytime they receive it they never even look forwards.


    Need to get Mcgee signed up. Great on the ball and very front footed.


    Mccartan not had a bad half contrary to the Radio Leeds comments. Dropped deep and tried to move the ball around.
    Taylor remains pointless.

    Connolly really has no end product does he?! Everytime he gets in a dangerous area I get no thought that something will come of it.

    Both CMs have been shite.

    50/50 game both teams look poor. They remind me of England in a low key friendly passing it side to side for the sake of it.

    End the game now and just give both teams a bloody point.

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

    Is it me but looks a lack of confidence/belief within the playing personnel?

    They drew with Crawley, Stevenage and Morecambe just recently - that's what we're happy with? The same as those sides?

    Says it all that you're picking out games from 4 months ago to illustrate what a great point it is.
