    **** games and **** results will happen in a 46 game season. The international break disrupted our rhythm somewhat. Easier to swallow after being on a good run. And we didn't lose.

    Good 1st half. That 2nd half was ****ing dire. Far to much risky play at the back

    Not the end of the world, but showed that if a team is aggressive and gets at us, we can crumble pretty easily too. Disappointing result, but shows what and where we need to work.

    Could have been worse. This time last year a point would have seemed like a win!

    Poor. Should be winning that, and really should be winning it comfortably. Can’t afford too many of these if we’re serious about an auto challenge.

    Real shame to only have two points after playing Rotherham and Huddersfield. Two crap sides and yet we let them into the game, when a second goal would've totally killed them off. They were never scoring twice. At least Leeds have dropped points too, let's just hope the Baggies beat Ipswich, or at least get a point.

    What on earth was that? How can we be that easy to work out that weaker sides can change plans at half time and say - get in their faces - and we don't have the quality to recover? We capitulated in the worst way. Absolutely disgraceful collapse. I don't mean the score, I mean the integrity of our game died.

    And it all comes down to two absolutely toss passes from Bednarek. One in the firs half that I would have been upset to see a toddler make followed by one in the second half that a blind man with one foot could have done better. The one in the first half he had to pull out a worldy tackle to rectify. The second half one swung the entire game's energy in their direction.

    What a pile ****e.

    Just so disappointing, especially as we could've gone 3rd place with a win. Such a contrast to the 1st half. But at least we did not lose and if it makes anyone feel better, the fishy lot down the road lost 4-0 :emoticon-0136-giggl

    At the top end of any league, a draw will always be a bad result unless it denies a rival two points.

    Which is my point. We really need to move on from that mentality that a point is a good result. For years now, it has been that for us. But not this season.

    Why are we f*cking about with it so much at the back? I put the lack of creativity on the players, but that farting around in defence sh*t is all on Martin. The opposition start to read it like a book as the game goes on but we persist with it. Just invites more and more pressure on us. Their goal was a result of this, simple as that.

    Pretty frustrating. The games you think you should win eh! Fair play to Udders.
    Just wish we'd create a bit more when we are on top. I have a feeling that LND will make a difference when he starts to feature more, as he has a bit of everything. Don't know if there was a bit of rustiness after the break etc, but we need to sort the 2nd half out.

    Can't be too upset about it. Yes it's a poor result but we're getting no where near top 2 anyway. That spell of 4 losses put paid to that

    After the 1st half and being 1-nil up that is a **** result. In a normal season you just have to accept these results but with the way Leicester and Ipswich have been that is going to cost us.

    Ipswich should be massively fired up for their game with both us and Leeds dropping points against lower teams

    It wasn't because Sulemana went off though, come on. And he was just as much part of the problem, giving away stupid free kick in a dangerous area. He's not a team player, and his sulking just shows that.

    Much harder to stomach than Rotherham. Rotherham was just a freak. but Huddersfield totally outplayed us second half. Hopefully this acts as a f*cking wake up call; we looked so arrogant with our play, like we just expected them to roll over.
