    RLB knows it wasnt good enough and is saying as much.

    Good interviews from him and 09 imo

    Maybe Browne struggled coming back to his old club not sure. But it really showed how good Jobe has become and how much he gives us all over the pitch

    Poor but clean sheet and point gained on third. Need to have better control and improve going forward, never felt like we were going to score

    RLB and ONien given great interview. Balanced. Level headed.

    Heckingbottom comes straight out blaming the ref.

    That’s the difference. We’re a team looking to learn and improve rather than assuming something else is the fault

    Unbeaten in the last 7 games.

    If that's a dip in form I will take it

    Ah wey. Point away from home. Will take that. Glad to have seen a bit rotation albeit I don’t think Reg gave them the best chance or got the balance right. No surprise we missed our best and most important player. Mind, whisper it quietly but I’d rather be watching Pierre in that midfield than Browne.

    Heckingbottom is livid with the ref :D

    I'm sorry, but that was a clear push and a penalty on the Connolly 'miss'

    Watson is far more effective on the left - his natural position

    I know, we have done well, but we're gonna be facing a run of tougher away games soon. Itll be interesting how we fair against teams who will expect to beat us at their place.

    also said he kept giving them free kicks against us that weren’t. I thought the ref was really good personally

    Lad in the sky studio saying it's not a red card and pointing out Greenwood altered his run to guarantee a collision

    Heckingbottom fuming with the ref, says nothing about his players trying to con the ref at any given opportunity though. Refs have it hard

    Point away from home and a clean sheet. However 2 points out of 6 available against 2 clubs in the bottom 4 isn't good enough. Players already looking like burnout has settled in which playing every sat, tues is understandable. If it was upto me this international break coming up I'd not let any of them go and make sure they got 2 weeks rest. Hopefully few more options to rotate after the international break too couple coming back from injury.

    Only thing he got wrong was not allowing us to play on when the ball was played out to Isidor after Rigg (I think) was fouled. Other than that he was good.

    Didn't play well and still got a point. Everyone knows we weren't up to our standards but we move on.

    We've played loads of away games recently, hardly make changes and there's the travel too.

    Top of the league and 2 points clear. Get a result on Saturday, rest and recover ready for a massive week after the break.
