Well actually we improved that record last season.

1 game into the season and you're slagging Jones off already? :roll:

We did everything but win it in the second half. Rae and Drinkwater are too similar but obviously numbers dictated today. More upset that we couldn't break down the ten men than the actual result itself.

If it wasnt for Simonsen it would of been four or five!

I thought DJ pulled a tactical masterstroke bringing on McCormack for Rae and moving Whittingham to the centre.

I was extremely happy with the performance over the last 30 minutes and considering our disrupted pre-season it was a very good point gained.

Exact same story when we played them at home last season. Simonsen was on loan to them and kept them in the game.

I think we played well. The strikers were playing too deep, but I'm sure that will stop when Koumas and McPhail are fit.

Ross needs to do some more running on the treadmill I think though. Also thought Jay pulled out of some tackles too mind.

For feck sake get over it. Its the first game of the season after a shite organised pre season against a 'hoofball' playing and 'timewasting' side I felt City worked their bollocks off even though there were some cock ups but whats new with us or anyone other team for that matter.

Completely agree, when Whitts drops deep in the center he can pick passes out from anywhere, its how we scored. He just needs a few yards on the ball and he will pick apart any team in this league. Him and Koumas in the same 11 is gunna be frightening.

I agree, I thought first half we we still in pre season mode, last 1/2 hr of second was much more more like it. Whittingham up the middle was a masterstroke. I know we had the extra man but it looked like he was enjoying the freedom.

Took us an hour to get 1 shot on target.

We were terrible yesterday until Whitts went into the centre.

But most people I spoke to before the game said they'd be happy with the draw. This club doesn't have a hunger for success and that's why it will evade us.

We should have won end of! chance after chance 2nd half! and a disallowed goal. Lets hope that popping whits in through the center has given Jones food for thought!!! because other teams will not be prepared for that.
