    Played very well, just nothing to show for it.

    Weird to say isn’t it!!! I hear “Flanagan playing well”… I simply can’t fathom how it can be our Flanagan!! Long may it continue

    Enjoyable first half. Loving the way we are playing, just need to take our chances. We are creating plenty so I expect that to continue. When they tire later I expect Broadhead and Pritchard will come on.

    Playing well apart from finishing. Game should be boxed off already really. Don't normally get 3 one on ones in a first half. Then to put none of them away etc.

    Hopefully we get early goal second half.

    I fancy Broadhead to come on against tired legs in the second half and score the winner

    I’m worried. We’ve played very well but I think they’ll come out firing second half. We need to up our game first 10 definitely

    Broadhead would have scored 2 in that first half, how Mcgeady missed THAT chance i will never know, cracking game though let's see what Pritchard can do before it is too late.

    We are playing some lovely football. Dan Neil is a lovely footballer with a great eye for a pass. Could be the sort of player that dictates our game this season.

    Played well first half. I would've bet my house that McGeady would've buried that chance. Decent football just need to get the final third sorted out

    McGeady has been woeful. Apart from the miss he has give more away than contributed.

    Played well and to not be ahead is criminal. Just hope it doesnt come back to bite us on the arse in the 2nd half. I dont think it will.

    How nice is it for the club to be able to promote him and give him the minutes he needs, rather than some has been that’ll never get better or change. Long may it continue

    I like McGeady but that was a poor miss.

    Neil has some great vision

    I always find that Gooch frustrates me

    Disagree. Twice he’s covered at the back when we’ve potentially been exposed. Offered little up front though

    Neil looks so at home in this league, got some great vision and can pick a pass.

    Keep creating chances and one will go in, but there is no room for error against this well drilled side. Still settle for a draw tbh., but we should really be ahead on that first half display.

    Still think he has a bit to learn “off the ball” but agree totally. Looks a player

    I think you're right, the timing is everything.
