Pointon deserves another mention. He’s walked in from the youth team and is head and shoulders above a few of our seasoned pros. He’s not one that needs nursing in; needs to get as much game time as possible.

I wonder if he might be better centrally rather than Walker.

The one proper hit of the ball amongst all our soft shots got us a point there.
But, yeah, it was a decent effort overall. I can't fault the attitude and approach of the last 4 games. Probably fortunate at Wimbledon but hey ho. Overall there's not a lot of goals or loads of actions but the players are enjoying what they're doing now and there's a lot of heart out there
What epitomised it was we were still going for a winner until the 98th minute. Under Leslie he would have reverted to ultra defensive after the equaliser went in and we'd be hanging on for dear life.
Special mention for Gilead putting in some juicy tackles in these recent games. Something else we were totally lacking in.

We’re not talking the same level (yet) but he reminds me of Carbone and of Windass when we were in League 1 - on a different wavelength to everyone else on the pitch. Everything about how he plays suggests he’s bound for the Championship at least.

My favourite thing about Pointon today was how he rattled that wanker McClean. Absolutey bested by a 19 year old.

He's got the balls for it and backs it up with talent.

Walker doesn’t dominate games like he should with his ability and experience, drifts for too much of the game.

Disappointing that we fell for the whole Disney emotion package, which was obvious from the moment Parky spoke up mid-week about what a special club we were. In a totally spontaneous and entirely unchoreographed way he waited until everyone else was out on the pitch to enter and applaud all four stands whilst a huge camera and mike boom followed him- absolutely nauseating- but in our traditional lapdog way, comply we did.

I joined in the applause cos I assumed we were applauding Kev McDonald.

A few years of joy in 20 years of misery. I'll clap like a sea lion
