I didn't manage to get back for the match yesterday and wasn't able to listen to it on the radio either so I relied on reading through my twitter feed and scanning the posts on here to get an understanding of how we played.
I must say, the match highlights - which, I accept, may have been edited to show us in a better light - seem to suggest we played a lot better than people on here and twitter made out. I can understand the frustration of not being able to beat a part-time club at home in the sort of form that we've been showing, but there's no doubt that the effort was there.
All in all, it looked like we played well and deserved the three points but were unlucky due to some dogged defending from Braintree.

Exactly my thoughts (I was there). I don't think the highlights were especially biased.

Braintree did offer very little to be fair, if we were allowed to have a flowing game instead of being blown up for everything then I firmly believe it'd been a different game.

To be fair, the game wasn't able to flow because there were so many serious injuries to Braintree's players The ref had no option but to stop the action each time one of their players went to ground and remained motionless on the ground... It looked as if some of the injuries sustained might have been life threatening so there was little else that could be done other than us all pray these guys pulled through once the ref had halted play

Personal favourite was when the guy went down, looked up and saw the game wasn't going to be stopped so he clutched his head!? The got up clutching his shoulder. Then we had to settle for a contested bounce up!

Regarding that contested drop-ball, did anyone else notice that Thanoj simply didn't have a clue what he should do? He didn't back up Disley, but just stood to one side expecting the ball might be passed to him! These young whippersnappers obviously don't understand the hack-fest that a proper drop-ball can become.

We didn't play that well but if we'd won 3 or 4-1 it wouldn't have been unfair.

I tend to agree with this....the chances we had after we equalised in any other game would have / should have been converted and we'd have take all three points Out of interest I was talking to a Hull fan this morning (I work over there) who asked how we did....I told him about our disappointing 1-1 draw and he told me about their happiness and relief with their own 1-1 draw I suppose it's because on the one hand we see it as 2 points dropped and they see it as 1 point gained that makes football the interesting game it is...the old glass half empty / half full syndrome

What I don't get is WHY they bothered. Why timewaste and cheat to grind out a point ? It's not like they're going for the playoffs or in a relegation battle. So they can say "Oooh look we got 4 points out of 6" ? Woppee-effing dooo ! Midtable mother-pluckers.

just watched the highlights,
How we can claim there player was offside is beyond me ? there player is playing it out to the wing and ends up going in a different direction.
the Centre backs need to hold there hand up for not playing on, they seemed to stand there with there hands up, and Mckeown just stood there. Shocking.
i know them highlights are biased. but we looked ok. not great, but we created some decent chances. hearn seemed to get cancelled out by there defenders all game.
I DID NOT GO TO THE GAME, I WAS WORKING, SO I AM SAYING THIS BY JUST LOOKING AT THE HIGHLIGHTS
