If your team selection hands the initiative to the opposition then 9 times out of 10 they will take it.

Luckily their finishing didn't finish us.

Clean sheet is good, away point always welcome but this is their first draw, having lost eight of the previous eleven. No problems really with that other than we never put them under any pressure and we have forgotten how to score. Hartlepool gone back to their 1-1 draws again i see. We look weak in midfield and not able to dominate the pattern of play. Still 10th though, so not too bad all in all.

The most sensible and honest post about this result. Forget their past results, a point and a clean sheet away from home is always a decent outcome.

It's not the result that's worrying. It's what, 5 games without a goal in open play now?

I cant help but think a point away in league two is a good result regardless.

people who are content/happy/not miffed with failing to score a goal against a side who have not won at home this season, have lost 8 out of 12, have the worst goal difference in our league, had pre match protests by their supporters and by all accounts went on to dominate us need to raise their expectations.

I do not expect us to win every game, i expect this season to be a bit of a learning curve but post  match Hurst again spoke of "Davies looked ok and made that side solid, he asked Ben if he would play there" ...we will go to places where we need to pick a solid team as the opposition merit but today we needed to have something to beat a team...no pace in midfield, no width, lack of service to the front and big holes in the centre of the park. Wrong team Paul end of.  

As for securing a clean sheet ....they have scored one League goal at home this fkin season and that was in August...hardly an acheivement in that context.

A look at the league table would suggest that, but it's ages since we played well, controlled a game or even looked a goal threat..

Sorry but I thought I was reading about an England performance.

Think GTFC would have beaten Malta today

Think Rooney was preoccupied with his tax bill and lingard Henderson Walcott were hopeless
