A good team display . Bit more clinical in front of goal and we could have won . Showed the strength of the team but also where we can improve with at least 3 additions ( speedy defender , creative midfield and aggressive " on fire " striker ! )

Whew, it was a long journey home, but it was well worth it, with that well deserved point, and truthfully, not one I was expecting. It will be difficult to pinpoint a man of the match, as so many of our lads played well. We could start with Bernd Leno. I had a perfect view of that brilliant save early in the game, and had that gone in, it could have been a far different result. Tete, Iwobi, and Anderson had blinders, and ESR, apart from scoring looked like the player we though we had bought. Unfortunately I thought that Muniz wasn't very good today, and I don't think that losing him,will be a big worry. My thoughts are that we are going to have a reasonable, without being a prolific season, and we should really take our cup matches more seriously. It is however, very unlikely, we will be involved at the bottom, but this season we must beat the lower order teams, something that we failed to do last season.

Does that exclude not beating man untitled today seeing as they're a lower order team as you put it

Yes, in theory at present United are below us in the table, but if they get it right, and unfortunately they probably will, they are still a power unit. We had the luck of the draw so to speak today, with that penalty miss, and in the end we deserved a draw, or more, but they are not exactly Ipswich, or Southampton, that we failed to beat at home last season, which was embarrassing.

Could have been 3-0 after 10 minutes and a very different result, remember, Marco struggles to come up with a plan B if we’re getting tanked. Going to be a long season.

Could have,would have, should have, Paddy, but they didn't score, so that's their fault, and we took advantage of it. Looking at our first three fixtures, I honestly couldn't see us getting a single point, but here we are with two already, and unbeaten as well, so maybe, just maybe, our season will not turn out too bad after all, and with hopefully some new blood coming in, we will be fine again.
