Went to the game today and I must say that our midfielders were shocking. In recent weeks we have played well as a team and deserved to be in the position we are in but today was just a wasted journey. Austin is not a leader nor a captain, yes he gets stuck in but his awareness and capabilities on the ball are not upto the standards of any quality centre midfielder in this league. Barnsley were first to every ball today and had much more desire and I guess they are our bogey team so in conclusion just a day to forget. I'd take 4 points from our next 2 games all day long and I'm sure any realist would. Not guna be too down as our form upto now has been good and the formation works really well for us a team so fingers crossed playoffs 2014 here we come.

Bit drastic mate.

A point from a bad performance is good. Don't go slagging off players for one bad performance.

And we move up one place!

I think an odd bad performance is acceptable especially when we keep a clean sheet and move up a place. Austin has been and is one of our best players who had an off day. Let's keep this in perspective.

I'm not slagging any players off for one bad performance but it's a player as a whole, he clearly isn't a technically gifted footballer or a leader.

Keep this in perspective scoops? Are you real? Firstly we was lucky to get a point, we played bottom of the league at home in front of 31,000 and the best player on the pitch was a 31 year old central midfielder who's spent most of his career in non-league football and our captain makes him look like a world beater.

Austin is more of a bully player. Exactly the type of player we need in the midfield . He needs to shoot less maybe from 20 yards out at most . 1 thing he needs to do is practice his short passing which I think he has too heavy a touch . He's good at long passing though. For me Austin just needs to concentrate on clearing up in front of defence and have mowatt furthest midfielder forward .for me I would give zaliukas the captain dutys but that might have to wait until the new season . Wouldn't want to upset anyone.

The difference of opinion here is about glass half full and glass half empty. In my opinion this was a useful point, a good clean sheet and an extra place gained in the table. We would have lost this game last year. It was not about playing bottom of the league, it was about a local derby when the form book always goes out of the window, it was about new manager syndrome, bogey team syndrome call it whatever. Obviously we should have won but these games happen and I think there are positives to be drawn from it. We could easily have scored 4 or 5 and on another day we probably would but we just need to accept it and move on and not overreact in the same way we shouldn't overreact if we beat Blackpool 5-0.
