Did we hear from him last week after the brilliant win? If we did I don?t recall.

Point won, not great performance, on another day Walsall could have scored 5.

Agree, we will probably finish about mid table. Think next season there needs to be a cull of players within the squad who just aren?t cut out for this league, and bring in better players, especially up front, with pace and directness.

I?ve asked you before to name them, but you don?t care to reply. Perhaps you might now.

Watched this today on tv in France. Pretty poor performance, I agree. Two things stood out for me. First Dobra was wholly ineffective and it?s beyond me how he lasted the 90. Second, why on earth is the pitch watered to the degree that there were puddles on the surface and the ball left a trail of spray when our defenders attempted to clear? I simply don?t understand the logic.

There's only 2 ways misery guts gordon would be positive, one is if we wired his low hanging fruit to the mains, I'll let you guess the other one but it involves a blood test2!

[Westbars Spireite]

Very strange game. We were dreadful for all but about 15 minutes. Happy to take a point and forget about it.

[Exharboroughspireite]

That was a really good test22. What a good side they are. Physical, but not hoof ball. 352 suits them well and what a good player Lowe is. Fair play to cook changing it around as we certainly needed to beat their 3 in the middle. A good game and we won?t play much better sides than that

Was also very surprised Dobra lasted the 90, he seemed to revert to how he was when he first arrived, diving around and throwing his hands in the air at the slightest2 touch.

I'll take that today though, they'll be right up there mostly due to Lowe but they played some good stuff

[spireitetoo]

Jeez that was bad, square pegs and all, mandy at RB with a RB sat on bench, banks in the 10 with Madden sat on bench, then banks naylor switched, Thompson, no just no, bring back Boot, Dunkley did nowt but Boot it out for 30 mins, ...I'm certainly happier with a point than they are.

[Painted Wagon]

How are Walsall top of the league. We made them look good, that first half was dire.Dunkley did not look bothered at all, negative body language. Makes you wonder how we can be so different in one week

[Siberian Spireite]

They deserved a point more than we did today. A performance which has eroded my expectations for where we'll finish, as they were tough, savvy opposition.

I think we?re in a good place to t challenge for a top 7 place

7 points from bottom, 5 points from top spot - good goal difference.

All to play for but improvement needed ?

[jack bauer]

the thrills and spills of football hey. a really tough game against a good side, one of the boldest substitution sequences you will ever see and how it worked to get us back into the game. entertaining afternoon, not 3 points but we remain unbeaten at home and i'll be amazed if we have to work harder for a point than that.

When will we ever give another team credit; they were solid at the back; tidy in midfield and with no. 7 running off the CF were dangerous. Their weak link was the GK and we only had 2 shots on target.

[Hibbo98]

Got away with one there, were really struggling to find a combination that works at home. Thought they were very good though. Very well balanced and their 3 midfielders were excellent, never gave us a sniff.

[warfey is a spireite]

Grigg might as well stayed at home,

[OneDecentLester]

Tough old game today. Walsall will be in and around the promotion picture, absolutely huge side, even bigger than Vale which takes something. But they were so organised too, looked to me a side that does all the basics very well which normally results in a successful season.

That?s the first home draw weve had that I look at as a hard earned point gained, rather than 2 points dropped. 5 points out of this week is a decent return IMO because Donny (A), Bromley (A) & Walsall (H) is as tough a run of games as you?ll get at this level for different reasons.

Slap them smug ****s from Nottingham next week and it?ll be a very nice return from the 4 games.

[Blue roan lily]

To be fair I thought it was a decent game of football with Walsall coming to take the 3 points home
We played ok in parts but happy with a point and unbeaten in 3

Closer up, at pitch level it looked more like the finishing straight at Doncaster Racecourse- deep divots told the story. Not the proverbial billiard table.
Its alright folks saying it was the same for both sides, but shouldnt it be set up to play to our strengths - our passing game?

Agree is it so hard for our fans to admit that they were a very strong, fast, direct and skillful side with a lot of experience and were in L1 last season. We held them to a draw so well done lads you did us proud

[Lincs Spireite]

First 60 we were like a rabbit in headlights. Thet were clearly the better team, fortunately that changed after our 4 subs. Then it became more even and could have gone either way. Why was the pitch overwatered ? You could see spray every time we played it on the floor, slowing the ball down a lot.

I'm more annoyed that we didn't work their keeper enough after he shipped 6 other day.
Another give away was his 'crisp packet' hands for DJ's goal. Should have peppered him
