Is it coincedence that Mossy wasn't involved

I thought at the back we did well the three center backs kept their shape which helps when you know your 2 full backs will be where they should be. Hunter did well at Right Wing back and a couple of times tried to get forward and get the ball in the box and generally had a good game.

In the first 20mins we played well but neither teams really had any clear cut chances until just before half time there was a goal mouth scramble which we should have put in.

Attacking wise especially in the second half we didn't create much and I can see why Jevons and Craney came off good to see Sammy making subs with 15 mins to go.

The last 15 minuites were a bit hairy as Rotherham were camped in our 18 yard box at times and had quite a few corners but our defence stood firm and look solid.

Overall we looked a lot more solid and I would say a draw was a fair result as it was a very tight game. I would play the same team next week as the defence seemed to be a lot more confident and assured today.

Really chuffed with keeping a clean sheet and the defence deserved it.

third bottom playing top of the league away - I say positive!

I think today's result was very good considering Rotherham were at the top of the league and we all know what problems we have. I cant wait for next saturdays game. god only knows what the score will be ??????

Even though i predicted a defeat today i am very happy to be proved wrong - in my opinion one of the best results away since coming into league (last three games against chesterfield,rochdale and rotherham taken three points so not far from turning it round) - 3 established league clubs and tough fixtures so we are competing just need that first win

We played for the draw today, and the lads looks satisfied with a point... bring on Notts !

playing Hunter as a right full/wing back was a surprize to me but a good tactical decision an awareness by the management that a certain player needed replacing !.



but 1- 1 against top of the league is good! but we are 3rd from bottom and id like us to get the fuck out of there

0 - 0

Well deserved point against top of the table team, i didn't see much difference quality wise between us and them.
Defence did a good job and seemed more in control than of late, so all in all happy with a point today and has been previously said we are not that far away from that first win, next Saturday maybe?????

I'm sure it will improve once we get our first win, we are unbeaten in 4 so it's not like we are getting beat every week, we just need to win games.

yeah am steaming, but a clean sheet is a absolute bonus and will hopefully give our defenders the confidence they had last season, a reassuring reminder

no we didnt sorry but disagree
we deserved a point possibly more and certainly nothing less
they tested barry only once from close range all game
we did same with warrington
two good sides cancelling each other out me thinks
good shape to our side
mullin and hunter the picks for me but we were solid throughout
no way did we come for the draw
like chesterfield on another day we could even have had three
add that to the points dropped against Rochdale Macc and Hereford and just maybe we would be sitting in the top seven not the bottom three
cant wait for the millionaires next week
much better today

If we didn't go for the draw then I can't understand why we had 10 men behind the ball throughout the game

A clean sheet.

Unbeaten again.

These draws will count when we start winning. Keep the faith. We will have a good season. Trust in the team!

Next two games are real toughies. The Sven machine rolls in next weekend closely followed by our Neanderthal cousins from Bratfud. Two really tough games. If we get two or more points out of them, happy days and then we can get going!

The table is worth jack at this time in the season, as anyone who has any sense knows. It is where we are in May that counts.

Well I just won the clean sheet predictions, everyone else went for 0

0-0 is a good result against a top of the leage side not losing any goals is a huge bonus lets now hope we can convert these draws into wins

If we had been near the top of the League we would have been shouting from the rooftops with a 0.0 Good to see that the tactics had been worked on and subs were made with time to spare. Their fans were inconsolable after the game and are hoping to get their management sorted out quickly. The banter walking down the concourse was quite tasty at times

Thanks for the hospitality


And thanks to Keith and his family for the flag ~ top bloke (has'nt missed an away game for 3 years) and see you back at ours


Anyway all in all a very enjoyable day ~ apart from the wasp doing the backstroke
