I’m actually happy with that. Still in it at half time.. how many times could we say that this season.
There seems to be a more no nonsense approach which makes us seem more solid

Anything happened?

We should have had a pen.in the first half.

0-0 HT, **** me I’m bored.

It's actually not a bad game.Little skill but fast moving.

Their keeper literally shoved Hopper over two handed. Penalty all day long and right in front of the ref too

100% a penalty, not the hardest push ever but stil a clear two handed push
Looked a great save by oxley earlier, sprinting to the edge of his area——— yes those not there oxley coming off f his line quickly and with purpose

Very frustrating when you factor in the soft bloody penalty they got in the reverse fixture!

**** on the pitch, **** off the pitch but you can not fault the fans still putting up with it.

Hats off to all of those still going!

Not so much putting up, more like glossing over!
That's the great thing about British football: loyalty knows no bounds.
Americans don't get that as 'franchises' change hands for the biggest bucks.

Agreed, still think our fans that attend week in week out deserve a medal. Watching grass grow would be far more entertaining and less stressful.

Hopper and Humphrys can’t buy a goal at the minute.

And people keep saying we don't need any new strikers ?!?

So many bad choices from the ref. He was going for his card when he realised he'd already booked Danns so changed his mind. Danns kicked the ball away virtually the whole length of the pitch too
