A good away point but did that performance raise more questions than it provided answers? Select your top three, in order.
McBurnie. Handful all game. Love his attitude. Joseph. Looks to be putting himself about this season, ran his socks off. Lundstrum. Takes no prisoners. Thought all the subs looked decent too, all got stuck in and had an impact, Great storming finish by City and a well deserved point. Well done all of them and the travelling 400, been there done that and its no picnic.
Really tough one to call this as i'm kind of inclined to go with prob 2 of the subs in a top 3, thought they changed the game in our favour and last 15-20 we were really on the front foot and could have scored 3 or 4. 1 McBurnie, another goal, good physical presence again, exactly what we were hoping to get from him 2 Ndala, i'm including one sub in the list, v direct and caused them worries nearly every time he got it 3 Giles, 3 crosses today that could have ended up with us scoring from them Kudos to Slater, Gyabi, Destan and Belloumi too, all of them upped our performance when they came on, strength off the bench something we sorely missed last season
McBurnie - Focal point and poacher Joseph - Tireless work in attack and defence Egan - Last gasp equalizer
Thought we deserved the draw . 1. The McBeastman - worked hard , was his usual pest and a well taken goal . 2. Egan - our best defender and the equaliser. 3. Joseph- 100 % effort , plenty of running forward and in defence, unlucky not to get a goal. Well done boys Come on City
McBurnie. Typical whole hearted performance and a proper centre forward goal Giles. A number of dangerous crosses especially for first goal Egan. Critical goal in last minute still have a ‘team’ issue to defending as a disciplined unit, hopefully will get sorted. All the subs made a big impact and one or two worthy of a starting slot next week Very happy with one point deservedly earned in the end
McBurnie - The forward we've needed for years. Giles - Could easily have had 3 assists. Egan - Better than Hughes today and rescued us a point.
McBurnie Egan Giles Great fighting point. Gelhardt played well, Joseph ran his socks off, Coyle played really well except that time he was utterly skinned for pace. Hadji looked ok, Akintola was gash. Subs made a real difference. Slater was on fire and possibly drove us to the victory. Destan looked very good as did Belloumi and Ndola and Gyabi. Promising performance all round.
Well deserved point, the subs definitely made a difference, having said that ; 1. McBurnie - not only for his goal but the tireless work he put in at both ends of the field, not only that you can see him barking out Instructures to those around him, a true leader on the pitch. 2. Ndala - heavily influenced the gane when he came on through his directness 3. Giles - his delivery when going forward provides so much for us, defensively he is shaky, just hoping as he progresses with us he can improve that area, I recall Robbo being very similar, however he was younger. Kudos to Egan and Gyabi who also did their part, Akintola tried but nothing came off for him, while Joseph put in the yards but quality remains an issue with him. And Biggest nod goes to Serj, made the changes that rescued the game for us.
Gelhardt - got us back in the game, almost scored, great feet, works very hard Giles - he was the best attacking option again, was fine defensively, I'm really sure what people expect McBurnie - he's just a threat, and that allows us to move up the pitch, essential to how we play
McBurnie is a pain in the arse to play against. Giles is quality with his delivery. Ndala made the difference.
Giles McBurnie Egan Honourables for Gelhardt, Ndala, Joseph, Akintola and Hadziametovic. Coyle had a good game defending, but we lost a lot of outball dropping Drameh. Was a strange game - they had all the ball and did very little with it.
