Let's just chuck it all at Gift Orban and reap the rewards

We shouldn't really be looking at anyone. We're setting a crazy pace at the front. Even with Saints and Leeds in great form, we've got nothing to worry about.

They manmarked us well. Often Hermansen had no options as he was closed down. Faes being right-footed on the left side didn't help either.

How do 'we seem to think' that?

Well at least you don't deny it's a shiitake

He's simply been integral to our performances and style this season. Did you just ignore his quarterback pass to KDH first half which sent the latter through one on one?

The ref was letting the game flow reasonably well first half, but then cracked down excessively at the beginning of the second only to completely refrain from any decision from the Harness decision onwards. Very bizarre and inconsistent refereeing performance, which understandably frustrated both teams.

Disagree. To "deserve" a point in my book, you need to have been unlucky with your finishing or faced some exceptional defending/goalkeeping. But Hermansen only had a couple of routine saves from long range all game. They were blunt in attack, much like most of the Championship.

Yes it was a pen. Tough luck for us. Harness' first yellow was very soft which maybe balances it out a bit. But those two decision along with the equaliser definitely shows they were fortunate. I really don't think they could've complained if that finished 1-0, despite McKenna's biased post match comments.

I thought Chaplin looked a handful and they worked ever so hard, probably the hardest working team in the league. It's not often we've been outpossessed for an entire half and they didn't wilt even during the end of the game, so fair dues. Huffing and puffing with a bit of quality and belief can get you far.

I actually thought both sides showed just how good their physical shape is. Constant pressing and good concentration levels for 90 minutes. Yes, we lost momentum with the subs, but overall it felt like a good battle between the two strongest sides.

I thought he looked OK. Also, there's mitigating circumstances here.

Yeah, they put us under pressure second half, but they should have had at least one red card, a penalty against them, while they hardly troubled Hermansen all game. "Deserved", my hairy donkey!

He has to get a rest. He's virtually playing every minute and we cannot risk injury to him with Wilf soon out for up to a month. They've marked the double pivot tightly. Him and Ricaedo rarely in a position to receive the ball. Except a stray pass or two, I think he's been par for the course really. He was pretty dreadful first half. If that had been McAteer he would probably have been hauled at HT. He's doing a great job defensively 2nd half though admittedly, even if his contribution going forward has been lacking a bit. Shame about his poor connection on the volley early in the 2nd half, it sat up nicely for him too.

KDH has been doing lungbusting runs all evening. His passing hasn't been perfect, but he is ALWAYS in the box looking to get on the end of things. Fantastic energy.
