Fook mey, how we’ve not won that is up there with the best of mysteries. Angus Gunn couldn’t stop a parked car when in loan to us yet he’s their MOTM today.
Another outstanding performance today but for the goals. We’ll done Stoke and AN.

Yeah the referee made that a much shitter watch. A step down from recent performances but still a big improvement from the 5-at-the-back nightmare.
Now to watch England get raped by a bunch of egg chasing leprechauns.

Missed too many easy chances. The Smallbone one was the easiest of the lot. Had the whole goal to aim at from a few yards out, no pressure at all, hits it straight at the keeper

This league really is shit .
Norwich are 7th FFS !
A better version of Brown and we win that easily.
Special mention to the officials who were appalling.
4 unbeaten though and we haven't managed that often especially against teams above us and going for promotion.

Antother good performance against a team going for the playoffs. Definitely 2 points dropped though, but another game undefeated. Think our lack of attacking options on the bench cost us. If the young striker on the bench can't get a chance when Brown puts in a performance like that then there is no point putting him on the bench.

Should have won that. Can't knock us as we really went for it and the players give their all and that's all we can ask. Thing that let us down was our finishing, particularly Brown who should have had at least two. On the whole though it's a million times better than what we've watched since we've come down. Go again boys next game.

A decent performance, never stopped pressing and on another day we would have won. We really need a centre forward who puts chances like we had away more often than not. well played apart from the goal scoring department. How many sitters are Brown and Smallbone going to miss.

Howard-Wilkinson is an attacking midfielder isn't he? That is why Brown played the whole game.

So you'd move our most influential midfielder up top in place of Brown cos he's having a bit of a shitter, when we have a young forward on the bench? Can't imagine that having a positive affect on the young lad tbh and also Brown, thank God your not the manager🤦🏼♂️😂 Also my sub would have been Fox off for the striker lad, brown to RF, Hoever to RB and Sterling to LB. So dismantling the whole team😂😂😂 fucking helllllllll

I hate this ref more than I hate Gunn Small man’s syndrome added to the fact that he is a genuinely horrendous decision maker. Stealing a living.

I feel a bit deflated that we’ve not won that today. Which goes to show how far we’ve come since the January transfer window. 2 months ago we have take a point each against Boro and Norwich but it almost feels like we’re the ones who’ve dropped points in what have been completely dominating and polished displays.

We’re improving and playing well though I think we were poorer for not having Hoever at LB not that Fox put a foot wrong. Fair play to Gunn he was excellent today and looked twice the goalie he was for us. Ref was diabolical and ruined the game as a spectical buying every dive from them. Hate to target players and he’s a trier but we have to get an upgrade on Brown he just isn’t good enough. Hard work can only get you so far at this level. MOTM Campbell who was excellent again. Special mention also to Sterling and Tzunabe. .

Performance fantastic again, you can’t take into account some of our finishing (brown) everything he touched was shit today it felt, but put himself about. We definitely need a new striker next season.
Well done AN again.

My take
1 Another outstanding performance 2 Some really useful learning and underlining of known points , Brown isnt a centre forward but Neil knows that , Hoever better right back than further forward actually think he is better on the right than sterling . Brown is fine right of front three as his tucking in give Hoever space 3 We did miss Gayle clever movement if not finishing 4 Axel is a monster different league to the rest of the championship
We are making fantastic progress now keeping as many as we can is the summer objective as is finding a couple of forwards , Smallbone player of the season
what Angus gunns career beed was Jacob Brown as a centre forward .
Great performance and last few games should be entertaining and fingers cursed we can do some really clever business in the summer using our fiscal muscle with Brains not just brawn great credit to JC , AN and RM for the tire around couldn’t see it myself but they have Done brilliantly

Played well there, unlucky lads - just needed to be more clinical.
Can't really complain too much with the goals we've been scoring lately, just didn't quite happen for us.

Played really well and should have won easily, just lacked that cutting edge in terms of putting the ball in net. Keeper made some incredible saves that were borderline strange due to his positioning and how he had to adjust. Onwards and upwards Some real improvement again and I will continue to eat humble pie gladly International break now to regroup and go again

A really positive thing about how we are playing is that I think it is a lot clearer exactly what positions we need to improve. We seem to have an identity and Neil and the players know exactly how we want to play and that makes it a lot easier when recruiting.
Hopefully we can sign Pearson as I think it is very hard to find that kind of player.

Shows how far we've come when we are rightly disappointed with a draw against Norwich. I think second half we ran out of steam a little, the Boro game took its toil I think. Brown had one of his god damn awful days and sadly nearly all the chances fell to him.. The bench today showed how thin on the ground we are at present. All in all we are definitely heading in the right direction..CF could be the most crucial signing of the summer.

The fans of about eighteen teams in this division should be pissed off that they're not challenging for the title. It's epically gash.

What a difference a real decent striker would make to this team. Brown was truly awful today and just no options to bring him off. I even wondered whether Baker coming on for him was an option. At least Baker can find the net when presented with golden opportunities.
