Yes, but we were really poor today. Clearly they are better than us, but when we have the ball, a bad pass is a bad pass and a poor cross is a poor cross.

FT. Positives. Ipswich are out of the top two. That’s all I got.

Appalling cross from Anis.

Huffing and puffing. It’s not that it looks like we will lose, it’s that the score flatters us and when we have had the ball we have been very poor with it.

In fairness, think it has been more even last 20 or so. Not really in any way dominating them, but whilst only one in it, never know.

Starting to squeeze out the odd chance now.

They were better than us at their place. Gave them a game however. Only hope is their pace drops off.

I mean, they are objectively better than us…but we have not made them break sweat for it yet.

Chasing our tails. Not the team to give the ball away to this often.

Right lads, let’s get going second half…oh.

Steady...he can deserve a pint of cider we chip in for to drown his sorrows after they lose...as a decent poster. Not buying his ‘we are rubbish and will most likely lose’ line however.

Knowing us, we will have signed Mick Lynch, RMT.

As somebody who played goalie, this this this. If the player had smashed it in the corner, we would be moaning quite rightly about switching off, how much time he had to line his shot up with space etc. No way a goal up should he have had that much space with minutes to go. It was a bad error by Max then. His shape was to gather the ball up and he got it wrong. He will know that but if you give a player space to shoot stuff can happen. We would have been delighted with a deflected shot winner a couple of minutes later.

Coventry on a great run. Good point before the game, deserved to win. Incredibly frustrating at the end. Should have, could have. Well played for an unexpected point, but bugger me it’s irritating.

That’s my City. It’s the hope that gets you.

What does it mean when we get it in that net thing? In fairness, deserved. Coventry doing that thing where they do very little other than score goals from the chances they get.

Kind of where we are. Not playing badly but not creating great chances, down the other end, 1-0.

Every little helps, as Ivory Coast went through tonight to the next round. Got t9 hang around for a bit longer.

* or Newport.

Maidstone have won an away match against a Championship side before Plymouth have managed it this season.

Interesting how we all see different things. Thought James’s myself was nailed on. Clever to stop a break but absolutely body checked him.

I understand the point, but I think it was deliberate. If he indicates advantage, then he can not bring it back. Thought he was clever to give himself a couple of seconds and if there was no advantage, bring it back. If there was, then he did play advantage a couple of times.

Neither side had many real efforts on target, but all our close ones just missed. Three or four of them, and same for Forest really. Unfair to say it was a game without chances.

Seen much worse 0-0s. Ebbed and flowed, both sides had chances. Is what it is. No lack of effort, sometimes some real skill from us. Close but no cigar. Well played lads.

Game opening up now.
