    Cook shoots across the goal but it goes safely wide.

    Full time 2-2

    A battling away point, hanging on at the end but just about what we deserved.

    Look forward to hearing from anyone who was there.

    Too much excitement for me, but super point against the odds, great for the travelling support

    Looks like we found our big lump up front from an unexpected source. Good away point.

    HA HA HA... Fair enough Captain, but chucking a CB on up top because we have no other forwards really isn't the answer to our striking problems.

    This felt like a win. At 2-1 down and Wiggins going off I could only see us losing. Shame Millwall did the same, but hey-ho.

    I watched two very poor sides tonight.
    I have no idea why the penalty was given.
    We are in a relegation dog fight, you might be.
    Sorry guys we were both terrible.

    I don't think we will be involved in a relegation dogfight. But I can see us slipping down the table.

    I'd be surprised if we were to end up in a relegation dog fight. But then I'd be surprised if we made the play offs without January investment.

    Good point when you consider they took the lead twice and BP was trying out a new formation.

    Agree d@@k

    I think we will finish 14th-17th. A combination of too small a squad, too many injuries to key players, and some rather baffling tactics on occasions <whistle>Those who were there last night- and well done them- say that we were very negative up until Leeds scored.

    Super my old mucka- there is more chance of catching Rupert Murdoch reading the Mirror than us getting in the play offs.

    That's why I'd be surprised!

    From what I saw on Soccer Special I couldnt understand the penalty either... I then saw a picture with Ben-Haim on the floor with the Leeds player in the process of trying to get his shirt off.

    Still think it was fortunate as its a type of penalty that isnt given often enough

    First half we were poor, Leeds were worse. Both times they took the lead they sat back and invited pressure, think we could have won if we had 11 men for the last 10 mins. Happy with a point mind.

    After losing the previous 2 away games, you can probably understand why BP and the players were perhaps a bit more rigid in their approach. It was more important not to lose last night, whatever Leeds position.

    I suspect we will adopt a similar approach come Reading, but against Millwall, BP needs to give the full backs more freedom and take a more open approach. With the two signings it doesn't create much confidence that he will do that, but I'm here to be proved wrong.

    hendersons positioning for the second looked to be really bad.

    2 absolutely terrible teams the first half.

    Second half got better, not sure how you scored 2 goals tbh hoofing it for that little guy to run for was painful to watch.

    Good luck for the rest of the season
