Interesting fixturesnext weekend.
Hull - Derby.
Us - Birmingham
Cardiff - Burnley.

Reading, Wednesday and Middlesbrough all away.

Yes very interesting, but let's just hope for a Brighton win, the rest will look after themselves and not everyone can gain 3 points. Exciting times.

Very good performance - took the pace out of the game well and controlled it. Stopped them playing. With the squad available to us that was one hell of a performance

Good performance. Was glad to hear the final whistle after the Burnley chances in the last 10 mins. Overall, we looked the better team. We looked far more dynamic.

If we'd had LuaLua playing, I think we could've beaten Burnley.

The performance was well earned draw but I would like to see Rosenior and Bruno given a licence to push on a bit. You could tell that they had been told not to get ahead of March and Murphy both of whom were doubled up on by Burnley wide mine dropping back to cover them.

Two sides cancelled each other out pretty much. Build up was much too slow but we do keep the ball very well.

Respectfully disagreeing with that. Our "dynamism" today seemed to be passing it around at the back before hoofing it up field. Or, sometimes for a bit of variation, getting it out wide and cutting inside and then going back and hoofing it up field.

Whereas Burnley had players making runs, overlaps, getting to every second ball.

That was a hard point well earned, no more and no less.

Agree with you on KLL though, we're desperately missing his speed and willingness to run at people.

DH's record as thread starter has taken a bit of a hit from a run of 6 draws in 9 games for him. He has dropped to joint third in the table with Hyperion with a 50% win rate/2pt per game average. (just above him on goals per game)

Top is marty_McFly with an astounding 100% win rate, followed by Stoneham Park with a strong 66.7% win rate. Stoneham Park also has the best goals per game average

Job done similar to Sheffield Wednesday, Hughton certainly knows how to set this team up

My god have you seen this quote from Ernest on CH..............At the start of the season Ernest's default quote on CH was ''HE IS A DULLARD' Have you been won over Enest ?

A decent performance. Credit to Greer who did really well for the 90, Rosenior and Bruno too. Thought March was rubbish today, it's like he is either brilliant or awful. I think we are one decent striker away from winning games like this.

A decent point overall though.
Can someone buy March some boots with studs? Seemed a bit like he was on ice half the match

To go away to Burnley with their home form and dominate the ball for such large spells of the game with our injury list is remarkable and shows why now people need to sit up and start taking us seriously

We faded a bit second half but with lack of quality on the bench was always going to be hard to push on at the end.

Exciting times

Not just March though is it? So many of our players keep falling over, way more than the opponents. Annoys the daylights out of me.

people talk about needing all these 1% gains to be winners...You'd think they would focus on some basics too....Imagine how good we'd be if we could stand up as well!

Excellent point away from home against a team in form . I agree about our players slipping over , really annoys me at the Amex when you would think the players would know the pitch by now , and yet after 5 mins they are slipping all over the place , perhaps they ought to get some proper boots , you know , the ones with studs in .
Oh it was never a penalty , if every challenge like that was given , there would be at least 6 pens a match !
