We gave them far too much space around in that pocket between the 18yard box and centre circle. The goal came from that, but to be fair it was a fantastic finish,bent into the far corner.

Who'd be a football manager???

I would say the reaction is based on frustration at our league position relative to today’s performance more than the fact we managed a good point against the was League leaders. A point on its own merit is good achievement and could have been 3, but in the context of our season we are now looking to win every game to get out of the relegation as soon as possible, again if we only draw with Blackburn people will be criticising but in reality that would also be a good result, and most other teams in the league would be happy with that. It’s not getting a point from today that will get us relegated.HC Green":3ghcyww4 said:What a reaction when we draw against the only unbeaten team in League 1.

If we had replaced Fltcher with Blissett, he could have occupied their defence, rather than shifting an ineffective Jervis who is no threat in the middle on his own. As it was, with 20 minutes plus to play, we conceded possession, and tried to hang on. It seemed inevitable that they would score. We need 3 points and these very negative tactics have cost us 2 points that could be vital at the end of the season

I don't think anyone is complaining about the result. It is how we got to the result.

Our deep positioning invited them on to us not the substitution. It's uncomfortable to watch but they weren't carving out any real chances and the goal came from distance as was ours.
It's disappointing to have conceded the equaliser but I'll take the positives out of today. It seems the bandwagon against adams has the momentum so it will take a miracle for people to change their view but today was a successful day at the office in my opinion
