    Most would be happy with a draw away at Barnsley, we need to win though. Been a fairly even game I think. They’ve had more intent going forward but we’ve stood firm so far.kaz coming on

    I would make allowances for the wind tonight. There has been an improvement in the previous couple of games.

    I'm quite happy. More important we didn't lose than actually win. Especially as we were away. Live to fight another day

    we were lucky not to lose woeful again today. and that scoring run had to end here, it will be the play offs now sadly. No idea how to play the ball into grigg or for any player for that matter, Power had the best chance. Should have made changes earlier.

    Still keeping up the pressure, but we needed more than two draws from those two games, to really pile the pressure on, but still played well tonight baring the strikers who were a bit flat.

    I didn't see the game but I think Ross should have done more with his subs. Hume and Sterling on with enough time to actually do something.

    Exactly, but you can also say, and I am sure some will, that a point was priority, but this second half was a huge chance to snatch a win, and we blew it.

    Delighted.

    Portsmouth and Charlton are putting a strong finish to their seasons and we must do the same, I honestly do not relish the play offs, but we might have to do it the hard way by the looks of it, still some twists and turns ahead methinks.

    It was but those subs wouldn't have been a big change in strategy just some fresh legs on.

    Still in touching distance of Barnsley so it was an ok result. I just think if you've got subs and you're not looking like scoring you should make use of them.
