    A tough game - we just couldn't play our crisp passing football as they just kicked us to bits and the ref did nowt.

    If I’ve learnt anything over the last year and a bit it is not to judge any of our ‘kids’ too quickly. They are still learning and have been bought in due to their potential. KTF, give them time, watch them flourish.

    Good result. We're going to have games where we can't play as well as we'd like but we dug in and got a result against a tough team with a good home record. Plenty of this team are either just coming back from injury or still finding there feet in the squad. We'll get better over the next few weeks.

    Ref was a joke as usual. Players getting hurt because they haven’t got the balls to give cards out.

    In my opinion that is our first proper goal from a set piece this season.

    Is Cirkin fated to only score when he get wiped out in the process :)

    Seriously though he's me favourite example of the model in place. A lad who should have played more 1st team games for his age who left the comfort of a premier league academy to go and forge a career from league one upwards. Class!

    I know but all of our patterns and phases of play were disrupted and disjointed. Reminded me when we played with no strikers. No outball etc.

    Good result against a team of big bruisers and hoofballers. We had to battle for everything today and we've got something from the game. Not our greatest offensive performance, but we've scored from a set piece and are still right in the mix. OaU

    He needs games for the youth team. His touch and everything is way off.

    Aye. Great example and one of the first to really make the drop down. He is a clas above too.

    Been unlucky with injuries of late.

    Didn’t have to do much but thought Anderson looked solid when he came on. Difficult circumstances to come on to, probably thought he wouldn’t come on and got chucked into that atmosphere on his pro debut.

    Very happy with that against a side that refused to play football, They are the Championship Wycombe. I'd hate to have to watch that every week

    It's his debut and he has hardly trained with the team so he will only get better once he knows what runs to make to help the team. A sign of a good team is getting points when not playing well, we all know we will play better than today

    Great point in the end. Fantastic effort from the lads against a right bunch of ****houses, they should be looked at because their defender is in the back of Cirkin and contributes to his injury. He could have been seriously hurt.

    Magnificent support as always, safe travels home everyone.

    each to there own, for me they should have been cards dished out for persistent fouling, we got kicked all over.
