Now the dust has settled after a very good point last night, does anyone else think the first goal could have been avoided?
I've watched it a few times and I think Darlow hesitated and didn't commit to coming out and sliding to the ball., had he rushed out and slid to the ball.
I don't want to dampen a great point, but both goals IMO could have been totally avoided.
But we'll done lads.

Said same in match chat Dougie
He had a poor game last night for sure
Just so happy we got such a crucial point.

Agree Chris. Very happy with a point. Even though it was a poor performance. We were outplayed for 80% of the game. But to be expected For once early subs and they worked. The boys hung on to the draw. Well done.

Think your been over critical on the lad . John Newsome said the same on Radio Leeds but he also said you've only got a nano second to react!

A few of us watching thought Darlow hesitated, as has Perri on a couple of occasions. As good as Chelsea were, the penalty they got was a total brain fart by Bijol. At the end of the day, a great unexpected point. On to Brum now, let's also get a Cup run going with a win.

Their 1st was a good goal from a good player. Maybe if he'd been marked by a quicker player than Bornauw it could"ve been stopped but sometimes you just have to say well done to them. 2nd was a totally avoidable mistake by Bijol. Subs were timely and correct and when we went from 5;3:2 to 4:4:2 it was a different game, ok they were still a threat, but not able to come forward in such numbers, and we took full advantage of the few chances we created.
Oh, and Estevao should've seen red for his atrocious 'tackle' on Rodon.

Not sure about 1st goal avoidable but the penalty from Bijol certainly was, I’d be focussing on that . Awful play from him Z infuriating.
