Should have started with Bednar, we would have been 2 up by half time if we did. Miller just not quite right yet.

Fair play only one goal conceded in first two tough away games. That is a really positive platform to build on and by the sound of it your still playing football. Goals will come just need to go for the jugular in your home games.

Sounds like a good performance. :) gr8 2 get our first point of the season :)
I feel that Mogga is worried about Barnett and has brought in Olsson for the job as he is a better option 2 partner Abdi Meite at the back if anyone else wants 2 comment about this…. feel free. :)

Miller missed a sitter :| not very impressed at all, them are goals strikers dream of

Miller misses again, simple chance results in a should be, simple goal, but were here again with miller.
i think Bednar would possibly better option if we play 4-5-1, have 3 attacking midfields ie, Morrison,Brunt,Kim while, Valero and greening sit back and dictate the game.
