    Luke has been great today but I’d argue that we’re missing our best two centre halves.

    Love to see us going a bit more direct at times, mix it up a little bit

    Great run and great pass by Hume (I think).

    Soft if that was a foul against naz, big centre half getting bodied like that got to be stronger

    Absolutely buzzing to see the Roberts we were all desperate to keep last summer, as opposed to the one we had last season.

    Like a new signing, a really ****ing good one, if he is back on it.

    I've seen enough to be cautiously optimistic, ship some squad fillers, sign a striker and if there's anyone available of a similar quality to Browne we're on our way.

    Free header for Hjelde, straight at the keeper

    The nice thing about the closing stages of this game is that it is demonstrating that we can take a few of the players who looked so disjointed against Bradford and we can drop them into our first XI and suddenly they can look perfectly capable of contributing. Funny, that!

    I think we've been decent second half.

    This is it. Massive difference playing 4 or 5 of them together to having them in and out.

    Hjelde should’ve scored.

    AA starts LCM for me. He’s a brilliant football. Adds another X factor player in the team and most importantly in the middle of the park

    a creative midfielder makes a good team a great team. Having him on Clarke side is going to take an extra man away and cause problems. I absolutely love him

    FT. Very good performance imo. Some nice attacking play and an aggressive high press. Lots to like about that. Glad we got the equaliser, we didn't deserve to lose it.
