Nathan Trott:

“We're certainly feeling positive." Nathan reflected. "I think there are a lot of good things we can take from the game today, and a lot of things that we can do better. There were encouraging moments that we can look through. Everyone is really sure of what their jobs are on the pitch, and it looks good.

"We're a bit disappointed that we couldn't win, but as the games go on we're getting a lot more confident. I think we had chances, we were a bit unlucky - I think we hit the post about three times. We’re getting our chances in front of goal, and I think in other games we would score two or three.

"I think the good signs are that even when we go behind, we still have that mentality to go ahead and try and win the game - especially ending the game as well as we did, putting a lot of pressure on teams and really making them work for a point. Hopefully in the coming games we’ll be able to improve that and get the first win."

“This is what Brian [Barry-Murphy] wants from us, and this is what he knows that we're capable of doing. No matter how the game goes, this is how we're going to play - this is our identity.”

We don't care who we're playing, it could be anyone. This is how we got to the Championship in the first place, so why stop now? The only thing we can improve is how we finish off games. We'll look to improve that.”

"Today was an okay game for me. Obviously in the Championship you're going to get a lot of crosses, it's direct. A lot of teams will target me in the box, so it's up to me to be a presence and help the guys out whenever I can.

"It's always nice for a keeper to have a big moment, saving a 1v1 and keeping us in the game, getting an important point at home, so I'm really happy."

Made some good saves but that's all I rate him at he's to relaxed at times he looks like he's melting he's that chilled, his distribution is not good half the time on longer passes but we play out from the back more than anything so shorter balls for him most the time.

Him and Bagan for there goal cost us lastnight although could go won 5 or 6 -1. One minute he starts coming then, then goes back, the starts to moves as it he's going forward again then goes back, send it so many times . Bagan was looking at him and he's looking at Bagan after it went in, he baffles me at times just command the ball , run and get the bloody thing. Same as crosses he's rooted to his line 90 percent of the time but does the odd punch if its 2 yards from his line off a corner coming in. Great shot stopper but to thats it for me, although if he had it all he would t be here let's be honest

I think he's excellent.

His punching at corners annoys me slightly but that's the modern way I think.

Maybe if we had a goalkeeper coach..........

Really annoying maistake, they played well apart from that but between them they cost us a goal, persoanlly I think Trott was more at fault for that one and could have come out and taken the ball.

A great save later, though, when the player was through one-on-one.

It was 50/50 Trott should have come yes but when he didn't Bagan was dithering trying to shield the ball back to him you've just got to make a clearance at that point.... Very frustrating as those two had been the most solid and consistent, it seems like all our defensive players are determined to throw a goal away

He's a good keeper and always fancy him to save in 1 ion 1 situation but he should have come for that ball, very soft goal to concede.
