Horrible performance, but another point and still undefeated. Win at home draw away is the way to go. Pears my MotM (who could’ve thunk it) with Beck a close second untill the red card. Need to just forget this game and move forwards. Felt pretty sure we were going to lose even before the card, but here we are with one point. Onwards and upwards.

[imy9]

Good point away from home.

we are unbeaten and have kept two CS in the last two.

performance was dire but we would lose games like this last year- take a point and move on.

[Forever Blue]

Pears was excellent, full credit to the lad

[booth]

Worst league performance so far.

Osmajic - post-match ban?

Before the game would have taken a point. More disappointing the lack of chances created especially when a man up. On the flip side, could see us losing that in the last couple of seasons. Getting a point when not playing well is a step in the right direction and it's back to back clean sheets. 

[AAK]

Poor performance, really lacklustre, lacked quality, pretty shit.  However we got a draw. I have the mark Hughes feeling with eustace. In that i mean. You'll have to beat us, to beat us.

How can the linesman 1 yard away staring directly at that not see what happened. He’s literally staring at the two of them when you see the wide angle. 

Pure incompetence and Eustace should come out raging about it 

[SpaceBarSlam]

Well, Pears finally having some competition seems to have fired a rocket up his arse so that's something to take from a pretty dire performance. So laborious.

[Devon Rover]

Pears was very good today. Beyond that, there wasn't a lot to be pleased about. We seemed really clueless going forward and never looked like threatening to score. A lot of work needed and time for some switches of personnel. Dolan and Hedges should be options from the bench. Baker is a square peg in a round hole unless coming in for Travis or Sondre. We've got a lot that's encouraging but that fluency in the final third was a long way off, today.

Shit game we were well off it the referee an absolute fucking joke at times but still unbeaten drawing away and winning at home plenty would give there right arm for RTID

A point is a point away from home but by christ we looked laboured and lacking ideas against a poor Nob End team.

Lets get this out of the way and on to Qpr..QUICK!!

[den]

Physically weak in midfield and upfront. Too easily brushed off the ball.

[joey_big_nose]

Really poor game quality wise... So disappointing we did so little with the extra man. Happens so much... The key thing is to make sure you get the balance right in midfield to use the ball and make the right passes but we didn't do that... Even when we brought Wieman and Cantwell on.

I'd rather he spent more time being concerned about our complete inability to create anything of note 11v11 or 10v11.

Pears MotM

Definitely, he was superb

[BankEnd Rover]

Working so couldn’t watch…Sounds like an awful game.

However a clean sheet and still unbeaten…Still had a gut feeling that Preston would have nicked it even with 10.

Ref hasn’t actually got much wrong, reds both obvious but he’s missed the other red for the bite but not easy to spot 

He's got A LOT wrong. Carter, Pickering and Cantwell booked for nothing for a start.

Got to be a lengthy ban surely. Suarez got 4 months.

[doctorryan]

The ref set the tone with his crap early on (I would like to have seen a replay of the possible penalty) in a match that was already going to be full of mucking around & nonsense. Of course things got out of hand, so we'll just take the point & move on. 

  Dolan was a little unlucky.

Dolan is shit, always has been.

We dont deserve anything at all to be honest. Pears was exceptional today, our best Rovers player. Ohashi second. The rest are just not good enough. Against 10 men, we played like we are the team with 10 men. Players and manager need to look at themselves especially Eustace. He had a half time talk and a whole half to beat 10 men. And we almost lost the game if not for Pear's saves.

Give over - they were routine saves.

For once he looked like a professional GK - if he lets a couple of pot shots from range and a tame header from a corner in you'd be livid. He did his job.

They created nothing, we created nothing. It was a turgid game of football far too early in the day. You take the point and move on - the season is a grind, you can't be at the top of your game each week.

[waynerovers]

Would have been nice to win but ultimately we didn't play well and we're still unbeaten after 6 games. We'd have all taken that at start of season

Carter and Cantwell did nothing wrong. Pickering showed spirit and gets punished.

Yet another ref pleb who's never played the game but loves the cameras.
