    I'd fancy Jobe on penalties to be fair.

    Aouchiche - but he’d have to be on the pitch to take it.

    Truthfully I don't think he'll get much game time when everyone's fit

    I was critical of O9 recently as thought his performances had dropped but he was class tonight

    Got such a weird feeling at the minute as totally gutted but also so proud

    We can do this... i am believing it might just be our yr

    Me too. Had the confidence and presence. I said to my mate with Wilson's first one it's a miss. He doesn't really strike it clean consistently.

    Second one was in his head and why he shouldn't havnt been absolutely no where near it. Last minute and a repeat of the first. Christ, what a silly choice.

    Yet another game that shows were every bit as good as the rest of these teams, mind. Love these lads.

    So it would seem, appreciate feelings are running high, but after a quiet week they soon jump out the woodwork

    He should never have took the second penalty but if Regis is brilliant at the Psychological side of the game then use it to galvanise these lads and we go on to piss the league. Chin up fellas. We could have come away with nothing but we played well and were arguably the better team against supposedly one of the better teams in the league

    You'll have heard the old expression 'pot calling the kettle black' <doh>

    That was a magnificent performance against a team you've been praising ...

    ... just for once can't you avoid being straight on stating the blindingly obvious and repeating it over and over again.

    Sorry, but you're so bloody predictable when we haven't won.

    O'Nien MOTM by the way ... a real leader and brave as can be.

    I don't mind Wilson putting it in the same place for the second pen, in hindsight obviously anywhere but there but it's a tricky one trying to figure out how to psyche out the keeper when he's already saved one.

    It was a better pen than the first, it's not like he skied it or put it wide. Credit to the keeper as much as he was being an arse.

    I do actually think a draw was a fair result mind on the balance of play.

    gutted it wasn’t more but still delighted with the point, and as important, taking two points off Burnley.

    Misses 2 penalties and a smashes a 1v1 wide.. all 3 chances he hit the ball as hard as he could. No composure whatsoever. I’m not saying he deserves to be sent packing I’m just making the point that the data you referred to is bollocks on this one and our fans are quick to write off other strikers goals because they’re against easier teams or from penalties but as we’ve just seen no “goal” is a given. If we’re to go up we need him to be taking easy chances. I don’t want him scoring volleys from impossible angles on the edge of the box I want him burying sitters :emoticon-0102-bigsm

    The match going fans know the craic, rousing Wilson chant at end.

    **** the X ****ers and such. Wilson will get a massive applause next game we know this.

    09 was very good tonight mate I agree. One of our better players, maybe MOTM.

    And they are a bunch of kids in comparison and cost a fraction of Leeds, Burnley and Sheff Utd.

    Wilson played well again imo and he was absolutely devastated at the end there! Not going to slag him off, maybe someone else should have stepped up for the 2nd but did any of them offer?
