We're a newly promoted team holding off one of the big six while a ref tried his hardest to give them the game.

We made a few mistakes, but going toe-t-toe with the big guns is good to see.

We can't win them all and we were strapped by lack of attacking options.

I've defended arronson in the past but he was pretty poor today. Gave the ball away too many times.

Bogle RW and JJ RB if James/ Gnonto aren't played.

Yes it was another frustrating game we SHOULD have won. But you know? That we're even talking about how we should have won against the top dogs is some place to be. Certainly beats getting steamrolled in every game.

Agree Mo, Brendan was poor esp after the break.
I said to the Mrs to put Bogle right wing and Justin at RB .
Don’t think Struijk covered himself in glory either, time to get Bijol a start.
Yes we’ve arguably been the best team in the last 2 games but ultimately we’ve taken 1 point from 6.
Individual mistakes get punished at this level.

Struijk not at fault for 2nd goal, it was Gudmonsson who messed up.
Two unlucky deflections today. His passing was a lot better than last game.
Bijol has only played once and was poor, hopefully when needed that wasn't a fair reflection of his ability.

Best thing is we are talking fine margins. While that is frustrating that is promising and makes me think we are not relegation fodder.

I remeber not too long ago when we was getting thrashed every week and the margined were far from fine, that’s when we need to worry.

Dave you said that to your Mrs. I’ve been harping on here for weeks now about moving JB into right advanced position and JJ into right back. Clearly DF doesn’t read our posts. I like pascal but was he just unlucky not blocking both or one of their goals, or is it that he is lacking in agility and speed? Am I the only one who thinks Rodon missed a complete sitter? I know that the keeper came out flapping, but keep your eye on the ball and it’s an open goal. Same with DCL’s missed chances last week, if we give opposition those chances, including Rodon’s missed header today, they always seem to put them away.

Absolutely MoT, frustrating, but we are holding our own against some very good teams (excluding the Arsenal game)
