My MOTM was Joe Bennett

I really don’t see what Hoilett and Murphy offer.

Murphy although not on the pitch long seemed he couldn’t be arsed.

The amount of times Tomlin was in a good position and nobody passed to him was unbelievable.

Much better performance 2nd half and a very even game throughout

Slightly better in second half draw fair result neither team deserved to win that

No but can see why they are low in goals scored 1 shot near end on target! All the stats fairly equal so draw fair result.

That team has potential. We looked so much better at the back. Get a decent striker in January and a proper midfielder we will make the playoffs

Ned, over all a fair result

Yes it was better, the defence coped with Ayew, Routledge and Brewster, they are the type of players that have previously been causing our back four problems.
