Jose

I thought in real time he was off so didn’t get carried away when it went. What a moment to just be taken away. The thought of getting to the premier league and dealing with that gets less appealing by the week.

I’m sure I read a story that they were taking 7,000.

Is that right ?

BBC says so. Can’t beat being part of a massive support like that.  

That’s how you finish Sykes. 

Great finish and great scenes amongst that amazing travelling support.

Do you mean Atkinson or Naismith?

Naismith

Atkinson?

Who knows how he is going to return. Robert’s has the shirt for now that’s for sure. 
 

@Mr Popodopolous For some reason I’ve got it in my head we won’t see him again. 

Got forward to good effect too. I do wonder if Manning will persist with a back three next season with Vyner, Dickie and Roberts.

Exactly what I was saying about performances over results at the moment. I’d rather see that today than a repeat off last week and winning 1-0. Encouraging.

Twice we should have beat them this season. Been awful in both games. Another example of not having to be world beaters to trouble the top 6. 
 

Good performance but poor in front of goal.

The standard of officiating is beyond a joke.

Any reason their new shiny stand is empty this evening? 

I thought there were a couple of times where we were dispossessed in own half and luckily got a free kick from minimal if any contact.

Is this really how pathetically reactionary we are going to be now? One disappointing draw after a decent run of form and a 5-0 win in midweek?

I was Manning out when we on an extended poor run. But our form has been much improved over the past few weeks. We are a mid-table squad doing mid-table things. Will we win games we don’t expect to and lose some we expect to win. Our league position is about par for the squad.

We can’t constantly keep changing manager without really strong justification. Right now I don’t think that strong justification is there, and Manning needs time - and the summer - to see what he can really do.

You’ve said reactionary? Perhaps he’s had that opinion for a while and three positive results may not have changed his mind. So in fact you have “ reacted “ after three decent performances. 
 

For the record I don’t care enough either way. Do I think he is good enough? No. Do I think his football is any good? No. 
Do I think the idiots above are more of a problem? Absolutely.

Can’t wait for more of the same next season.

Nope. I wouldn’t be surprised if Jack Hunt had cost more.

Compared to the quality of left backs we’ve had we really have struggled in that position for as long as I can remember. 

And people still think LJ did a decent job . 
 

There is no way we spent that on McCrorie ( I assume that’s who you meant) 

I’d rather see a performance than a point to be honest. I see no signs that the football will get any better. Grabbing a lucky point against a team on an atrocious run just papers over some major cracks in my opinion.

It hasn't been great but conditions have been a big factor in that.

Easy excuse. Sunderland have managed. 
 

If it’s really windy, here’s a ******* idea, pass the ball on the deck. Not rocket science.

Desire…….i see none of it.

They have 2nd half if you're actually watching it.

And still look a lot better than we do. 
 

This team has lost 7 of their last 8. Their last game 5-1 and we’ve barely laid a glove. 
 

Pathetic……and that sums it up

So passive and slow. Manningball can **** off. 

This is getting silly now.

Roberts on for them, top quality player that.

Amazingly hasn’t scored all season……..

Twine giving it away rather than get tackled

Seen nothing from him that would make me want to spend half the amount Burnley want from him.
