Looked a bit tired today and Swansea aren't a bad side at all. Getting Chair back is going to be a massive boost and Sanderson could be a really useful addition. Dykes is bound to find some form sooner or later and you never know who we might pick up before transfer deadline. No need to panic after a 0-0 draw. | | | |

Extremely Rational on 22:27 - Jan 25 with 2855 views | slmrstid | Bloke who sits in front of us was moaning at Warburton, saying he's a poor manager who had learned nothing from the weekend. The recent form seems to pass him by. He's been like this for years, I just ignore him when he goes off on one, havent really got the energy for the argument! | | | |
Extremely Rational on 22:31 - Jan 25 with 2813 views | EmpireStateRanger | I was probably the most negative person in the match thread, but do agree that the sky isn't falling. Like I said, much rather this than conceding late like Bristol City at home or Peterborough away. | | | |

The bloke in front of you sounds like a right mug. Some people seem to think it's so easy. Usually people who've never played much football themselves. | | | |
Extremely Rational on 22:39 - Jan 25 with 2726 views | Sharpy36 | Get Chair back, we should be back to firing on all cylinders. Our one creative players is getting marked/tackled or fouled out of the game and we need that other outlet. | |

100% this. You can't double mark both Chair and Willock. Also Chair will be raring to go if he's just been warming the bench. | | | | Login to get fewer ads
Extremely Rational on 23:08 - Jan 25 with 2547 views | wokingrs | Bald headed bloke in block V of the Ellerslie constantly slags off the team at the top of his voice. Seems to almost want us to lose to prove himself right. Has been doing it for years and completely gets on our nerves. | | | |

Extremely Rational on 23:28 - Jan 25 with 2365 views | kensalriser | I didn't think we played any less well than the Cov game, we just couldn't get going and the chances didn't go our way. 0-0 had to happen sooner or later. Think we would have won that with Chair though. | |

It might have been cold in west London Ned but I can assure its nothing like whats outside my window . -6 degrees expected overnight with wind chills making it feel like -25 to 30 .I will be adding an extra blanket and hoping the heating system does not blow up . I will gladly take that point we earned tonight it keeps momentum ticking along | | | |
Extremely Rational on 07:30 - Jan 26 with 1959 views | traininvain | Bigger picture. 13pts out of a possible 15pts. And without Chair. Safe to say we’d have taken that at the end of December. Personally, I thought we’d be lucky to remain in the playoffs and instead we’re challenging for automatics. Very pleased to be wrong! Hopefully we’ll get back to winning ways on Saturday. | | | |

This. Disappointing performance and result last night by not then end of the world. A bit of composure from Dykes and we would’ve won the game. Just need to batter the fakes on Saturday. COYRs!!! | |

Someone behind me was screaming "get tighter" as we tried to close down their players in the erm 85th minute! | | | |
Extremely Rational on 11:17 - Jan 26 with 1637 views | NorthantsHoop | In the cold light of day last night's result although not a win we were expecting it does keep us on a good unbeaten run of results. Unbeaten in last 6 games with 3 away wins on the bounce, progressed to FA Cup 4th round and beaten a top 6 rival not bad at all. | | | |

around me in JU most of the angst seemed to be towards the ref and letting Swansea do pretty much whatever they liked physically. Some of the treatment of Willock was ridiculous. Not necessarily dangerous but just continuous. | | | |

To be fair I've shouted a lot of old nonsense at football matches over the years, especially in the nervy last 5 minutes. | | | |

Well it is the one thing that most teams in the league are better than us at. We still allow countless free crosses into the box, but for much of this season it’s gone unpunished. Next time you watch a live match back listen for Warburton screaming “to the ball” throughout the game. We did it much better last night bar Willock, who just isn’t part of our press. I know he does so much more, but if he could just add that little thing to his game we’d force more mistakes with the extra man | | | |

This was when the ball was in their (Swansea's) half and we had 3 players closing down, OK lets ignore the obvious fact that no one is going to close down with same intensity in minute 85 as they do in minute 8, 3 or more players all rush in, one pass and we have only 5 or 6 players left 'in the game' There's a lot more to football at this level than 'getting tighter', 'moving a bit quicker' and 'running around a lot' - I'm sure many of you younger types could do all 3, but not sure you would improve the team much! | | | |
