We looked so much more dangerous with Shaw and forde on at the end. Oh well our annual defeat to Barnsley away was to be expected. Griffith's our man of the match by a mile. What a keeper. Did you see Shaw just stand and watch one of their players stroll in to the box, just after he came on? |

Some good, bad and average performance today. Top keeper. Had Promise scored it would have been a standout performance, led the line fantastically at times holding off 4 defenders. Sotiriou looked lightweight and ineffective but scored a strikers goal. Good to have options on the bench.
Midfield didn’t shine today, McCormick ok but did nothing to retain his place, Grant at times loose with the ball and Garret long passing was poor. Thomas had a terrible first touch. Good to see Shaw get a debut, looked confident and very neat.
As soon as they attacked Bilongo for the winning goal confidence that he would prevent the cross had eroded , he does remind me a little too much of Hoole plays well for 60 minutes not strong enough.
The fact that a draw feels a little disappointing suggests we are improving. Which after 10minutes I would not have said.

What's that got to do with looking a lot more dangerous going forward when he was on? He did more as an attacking threat in his 10 mins than McCormick and ward did all game. |

Disappointing result, but not a million miles away. Love to know what game you watched. Should have been 3/4 down after 15 mins. Another game of 30% possession, hardly any shots on target, a keeper to thank to keep goals conceded under 5 against a team that haven’t won at home for 6 months The happy clappers seem to watch different games to the rest of us, with away games coming up at Posh & Huddersfield you do wonder how long the board are prepared to accept MT losing every away game. |

No he didn’t he picked up the ball in his own half because Barnsley had sat in and played it to a blue shirt. That’s not being dangerous at all. It’s flattering to deceive! And as has been pointed out he did exactly the same as v Tottenham and it should’ve been 3-1! |

Midfield 3 far too disjointed at times and absolutely not enough quality on the ball there, compare that with Barnsley midfield. That was the only difference for me.

I agree but they have been all season and all pre season so why is anyone surprised yet people still back their inclusion like somethings going to suddenly change! |

MT will be given time as long as he keeps winning at home. Today we could have taken a point, Sinclair and Promise had clear cut chances. |

Any difference from when he played with us before? No, not at all which makes it all the more surprising, however I was prepared to have a clean slate each pre season but I’ve seen nothing other than someone chasing crisp packets in the wind. Same here , looked good when he first arrived simply because he ran about a lot in a very poor side. Kofi should start ahead of him every time |

He did get beaten, but he was had 3 players to think about. He's young and still learning. I'm not sure why you keep signalling out a young player, when all players make mistakes. A side that makes 16 new signings, will take time to settle. Especially when most of those players are young players, signed with a view to the future. Won 2, lost 2 drew 1. More than most of us were expecting at this stage. |

The most one sided close game you’ll see. We had two shots on target and one was the goal that was gifted. I make that Griffiths been out MoM in 4 out of 5 games? Did you actually watch the game. First 20 minutes yes. After that pretty even, and we probably looked the better team for the 1st part on the 2nd half. I know their’s rose coloured glasses, but give a little respect to the team. Not just criticism. |

Well it’s Taylor’s team. I thought at times we looked like a headless chicken. Midfield poor. Thought Wilson was our MOM. Promise never gave up. Macca should be shipped out. On the whole very average and at best mid table. UTG And that will be fine this season, and then push on next season when our team will be one season wiser. Recruitment looks good. |

I said last season this manager is going to take us up. If we took our chances could have won that. Most confident I’ve been in a manager since John wards first spell with us. Great attacking football great signings that club south of river, this time next season be above you UTG

He picked up the ball in his own half drove forwards and passed to a man in a blue shirt. More than any of the other midfielders did all game. Hence the comment we looked more dangerous when he was on the pitch. It's like dealing with shi*heads this. |

Fortunate to be level at ht we really seemed to struggle with anything that came into our box. Our midfield struggled to get to grips with theirs but we still had moments where we just needed a bit more quality in the final 3rd.
Much better 2nd half, we seemed to limit them to a lot less and had Promise scored his chance we might have been taking about a very different result.
I do think there's a lot more to come from this team attacking wise, not sure if that makes me a happy clapper or even what one of those is but if having a bit of confidence that this side has potential to be a very decent one at this level then guilty
