First half was awful, looked like we were there just to make up the numbers, 2nd we came looked a different team, then after 15-20 mins, went back to how we were 1st half.
Cant remember us having a single shot on target. Bursik rescued us a point, really pleased for the kid, will do his confidence a world of good.
Our subs injected nothing into the game. Just carried on way we were.
I'll give MON a 4, was only going to be one winner if there was to be one and it wasn't us.

A steady 7...
With the injurys we've got, and the players who are half fit...we got the result we needed.
The manner is going to frustrate some, but an away point is always good.

Lots of mitigation - but (and I know XG is not everyone's cup of tea) our Expected Goals was 0.16, and it seems to be almost impossible to get that low. Just had a quick look and that seems to be our worst match in regard to attacking threat carried for at least 5 years (I got bored checking beyond that far back!) From a brief scan of our last 5 years of games, the only comparable total with that seems to be TP's Sheff Weds against us earlier this year www.infogol.net/en/team/stoke-city/165

Unfortunately, having watched Verlinden in the Under-23s a few times this Season, he’s nowhere near fit enough to play in the first team. He suffered a terrible injury and, at the moment, he is finding it difficult to beat a man and get decent crosses in. He needs a few more reserve games under his belt. If everyone was fit, I doubt that he would be in the match day squad yet. This. I have no idea where this sudden fanfare has come from with Verlinden. He’s done nothing in his career yet to justify this kind of hype. I wonder how many times the fans clamouring for his inclusion have actually seen him play? Because he's the next cab on the rank and morons see him as the answer to made up questions in their tiny minds. They like to think they know football but really should stick to stacking shelves.
