8 from me got the team playing good attacking football, unlucky to go 1 down then even more bad luck to go 2 down but there's a bit of fight and spirit in the team now and we deservedly came back to earn a draw, on another day with players taking their chances we'd have won this game but at he same time in week gone by we'd have crumbled and lost 3-0. Gouranga.  |

I’ve been his biggest critic but credit where it’s due he got the formation and line-up right today (assuming Burger didn’t have a 90 in him) and he deserves credit for resisting the urge to just throw Ennis on when Mmae got injured.
Hopefully he has the bollocks to stick with this approach for the rest of the season.

Thought he set the team up perfectly and we started well and should've been 2 or 3 goals ahead. Made the right subs as well at the right time, though being 2-0 down he had no choice. Wasn't a fan of Haks being in the starting 11 though

Difficult to see anything he did wrong today. Brave team selection, should have been at least two up before they scored, no players hiding just making safe passes and when we went 2 down nobody threw in the towel. Substitutes all improved us though at the time he made them I questioned some - Stevens off, Campbell and Vidigal.
I have to say his disciplining of Mmaee and handling of Hoever after Coventry has improved both and to have Vidigal and Campbell come on and perform as they did shows good man management of players who have been on the very fringes of the team for weeks.

8. Picked a good 11. Great team effort today. Shame we conceded the two goals that we did. Really pleased we got a draw, although if we took our chances today we could of been out of sight. More progress and another welcome point. Onto the next..

9. Best we’ve played at home for a long time.
We should have been out of sight before their first goal, which is out of the manager’s hands.
Really enjoyed today. Even got the sore throat to show for it.

He won us the penalty, clattered one of their players in midfield, and if I’m not mistaken was hassling their keeper on a lost cause at the final whistle. Not his day in terms of goalmouth action but he didn’t look disinterested to me. |

9 has enabled the players to play without the nerves usually associated with a relegation battle. Our form has been great since we dropped into the bottom 3 and that takes a lot of bottle and good man management. SJW's support has obviously helped too.

9 or 10 for me. Set everything up perfectly, we were never static or slow in possession. Good line up, good subs and absolutely hammered them truth be told, just two pieces of bad defending meant we didn’t win it.

Shuey isn't the guy to take us to the next level and it will probs be groundhog day come November/December next season but credit where it's due. He's finally played the home starting xi we all wanted to see. I'll give him 9. Hak, Junho, Mae and The Manhoef all on the pitch together. Bit of class ❤️
Shame we weren't playing that front 4 a few months ago.

I don’t agree with the booing of Campbell previously but he’s not had a good game or done anything of note for what seems a lifetime. His bags are packed and to me it looks like he can’t wait to leave. The penalty was from ridiculous reckless challenge in the box. Granted Ennis has so far lacked quality but you can’t knock his work rate. Campbell has the quality just doesn’t seem to want to use it and has never had the work rate. |

He worked hard enough today stamina is his issue I agree but he made a positive difference today . I think he needs a run of games but probably too late now |

9.
Walked away frustrated that we didn't win the game and I couldn't believe we were 2 down at the time, as we were good value for being 2 up at least ourselves.
A very balanced line up and some very good attacking football, which made a team comfortably in the play offs look like a lower midtable side.
They weren't booed off at 1 nil which proves some of the managers comments last week about it were stupid and uncalled for, as we are as fair as they come if we see a damn good performance regardless of the scoreline. Which that was yesterday.
Hopefully now he sees this and uses it going forwards.

Granted Ennis has so far lacked quality but you can’t knock his work rate. Campbell has the quality just doesn’t seem to want to use it and has never had the work rate. If you watch the extended highlights on the highlights thread two things stood out to me. One was his chasing down their keeper at the very end which I previously mentioned, and the other was when our first goal went in how he celebrated but also sprinted to get the ball so the game could restart quickly. I agree that his output has been frustratingly low recently, although in part I put that down to Schumacher’s unwillingness to use him in his best position as a wide forward. But I do think the allegations that he’s downed tools and doesn’t give a shit any more are unfair. |

At least Campbell can play football It’s a load of bollocks that Campbell was disinterested from the usual blinkered culprits. He was so disinterested that he replaced our best player on the day and improved us. He wasn’t brilliant but he improved the team and that’s what you want from a sub. He pushed them further back and they didn’t like it. |

Bit of class ❤️ Shame we weren't playing that front 4 a few months ago. Maybe the teams fitness levels didn't allow for us to keep attacking game after game a few months ago and although we started ok under Schuey maybe the players were showing signs of fatigue which is why we started losing games. He reigned it in and a few months later we are starting do it a little more again maybe because fitness levels have improved to a more sustainable level. Schuey is doing a fairly decent job in my eyes, he's getting performances out of the whole squad and he's doing it with players that aren't his. We are also putting in dominant performances against teams near the top of the league home and away. If he's learning anything he's learning quickly because he is certainly getting a reaction and we look like we are improving and becoming more of a team. |

Good line up, good subs and absolutely hammered them truth be told, just two pieces of bad defending meant we didn’t win it. Agreed. When we set up positively we are so much better. I have struggled to make up my mind on the manager as his selections and tactics have been inconsistent, almost random but, to be fair to him, he seems to be finding his way. Given he is an inexperienced manager we have to accept he needs time. |

Good line up, we don't know what the issue was with Burger. Haks and Million were taking players on, something we've missed. Can't blame SS for the missed chances. We could have blown them away today. We've played 2 play off or there about teams in the last 3 and outplayed them both. 5 from 9 points in tricky enough fixtures and performances deserved more. Hudders don't think we did enough to win.
We're more top 10 than relegation form at the minute as the form table shows but obviously you have to do it over a slog of a season.
Don't think we're too far off being an ok side
I think losing Pearson turned out to be a bit of a blessing. Played it quick through the midfield again and were opening them up easily at times. I think in junho and Million we've made 2 really exciting signings.

I think as Ipswich have shown with Chaplain, you don't need a top drawer striker at this level. A player who has been around the houses at this level and will get you a dozen or so goals and take those chances we missed today
If we'd have signed him in the summer I doubt many would have been popping open the Superdrug Lambrini, a bit like when we signed Cresswell.
Is about now, you can sign Prem players when you get there.
Baffles when some slate Bamford, a player who has constantly outscored anyone we have at this level. He misses chances but scores a hell of a lot more than anyone we've had in a long time. The kind of players who get you out of this horrible league
