Without FF we are very static and workman like, particularly when certain players don't turn up. Bannan did feck all except that bit of magic in the last second. Why can't he show the same spark throughout the 90?

 

We can't cope with physical teams, Preston sussed us out inside the first 10 and we were very lucky to come away with a point.

 

Palmer may not be excellent but he's better than Hunt and was dealing with McGeady well. Hunt came on and was at fault for their goal, bizarre decision from Carlos.

 

Nuhiu is only good for seeing a game out in the last 10 minutes, simply not good enough.

 

Reach had a terrible game but made up for it.

 

Loovens and Lees need to be more decisive and simply better on the ball when coming out from the back. We could really do with spending the money we've got on a top centre half, Lees and Loovens are good but against physical sides like that I think they sometimes struggle.

 

Unreal point in the end.

No point spunking money on a defence that is one of the best in the league. Our problem is putting games to bed either through missed chances or a distinct lack of them. We score more goals we

need to worry less about defence. Next season is the time to address that with new right and left backs and a centre back.

Bannan was excellent until we changed tactics for the second half. Easily our best player up to then.

Keiran Lee, after Hutchinson is our most important player. Today we missed his energy in the middle and just couldn't get control of the game.

 

As always, without Forestieri we lose that spark. And without Hooper, we often miss that killer instinct infront of goal. 

 

We got off lightly today, with our rivals dropping points too. So, a point does look a much better result. It's just a shame we couldn't fully punish them.

 

We did play badly today. There is no defending that fact. We were awful. But you take 3 important players out of ANY of our rival teams and they'd struggle against anyone in this division. We have strength in depth, but it's never easy to adapt to losing the heart you build your team around. 

 

Onwards and upwards. We've got some huge games coming up!

Was delighted to come away with a point, Preston are a decent side. Would have taken a point before hand coming off the back of the result on Boxing Day. It would have been nice to take advantage and ****** all 3 but after putting in such an abject performance, we should all be jumping for joy with he point we have.

 

On to Monday, 3 points here and will have been fantastic points haul from the festive games.

Gameplan seemed to be punt it to Fletcher & Nuhiu for most of the first half. Dogger.

 

Thought we were disjointed and relied on playing the ball backwards too much. 

 

Need more movement and more creativity. More than anything else we need Fessi, Lee and Hooper on the pitch.

 

McManaman is a good signing and should be an upgrade on Wallace.

 I think it's been clear what we need for a while. A spark from midfield or out wide which hopefully Mcmanaman addresses and ideally some pace and strength up front if we can't get the likes of Rhodes.

 

I do think we have been in this league long enough to know that games like this, Rotherham and Barnsley are just games you need to get through by hook or crook. 

 

That was one of the worst performances I've seen and we looked lost and frustrated. But we continue to take points and we are arguably at our weakest at the moment.

I think Bannan was our only player creating anything for most of the game

Problem being from our own half.
