    Barton thinks they were favourites and they were the better side. Yet wasn’t it their keeper booked for time wasting and falling on the ball all the time to guarantee their draw. And running the ball in the corner. Aye Joey just what favourites should do! Waste time at every opportunity!!

    Weird really as I’m fairly happy with a point. McGeouch looks miles away from the player I thought we were getting mind. Struggled with touch and passing. He was out played by Cattermole by some distance! Hope it’s just rustiness

    Cattermole and Loovens were excellent with their tackling today.

    Having watched the highlights I think we just about deserved the win actually, we created chances all game and were unlucky that more than one didn't cross the line. Top penalty save from McLaughlin because he didn't just guess the right direction he moved his hands downwards midair to stop it going underneath. I like his pre penalty routine too he looks huge, might put a few off.

    I thought in the absence of Maguire and Oviedo our set pieces were poor but when Honeyman started taking them they were more dangerous, nothing fancy just consistently curling them into the middle.

    Their number 22 Hunter was a thorn in our side, little turd of a player cheating his way through the game so no doubt a favourite of Bartons but he was good at it and had some quality.

    Little twat wasn't he - the number 4 as well - he reffed most of the game.

    Evans looks a player mind - wish we'd signed him. Way above the level he's currently playing - proper target man and good on the ball too with a good brain. Wyke looks well away from that but is still recovering from injury so hopefully he'll get there
