Fair point.

On the whole I agree but I'm not sure you could say WBA were absolutely on top, apart from the last 10 mins of the first half. For 35 mins, it was just two crap teams giving the ball away to each other and running down blind alleys.

We appear to have started this half a little brighter so let's hope that continues....

They were crap. They were still on top. As they were in the second half as well.

We were very lucky to get a point from that. Not that I’m complaining - we’ve been unlucky on more than our fair share of occasions over the past few years.

It just all a bit depressing for me. We just don’t seem to have any real drive and urgency. Coupled with only a very few players who have any quality it’s like watching paint dry at times.

Although Allen is obviously way past his best, the cameo from him showed him finding pockets of space in a way our other midfielders can’t manage. His pace and fitness is understandably way below where it was, but he still has an instinct which others don’t have.

There was a passage in the second half where Key had the ball out wide and level with their box, and Ronald just stood behind him, moving in parallel, not creating any possibility for Key to do anything. It eventually went in to the middle, bounced back to Ronald, who promptly hit a shocking pass and we lost the ball, it summed it all up for me. There is no ability from most of our players to think.

Today we had Eom, Ronald, Peart Harris, Abdullai all have a go out wide. I remember the game against them when we had Dyer, Routledge and Pablo. It makes you want to sob.

Still, those nice cars didn’t buy themselves…

Soton saving themselves for the cup, I see...

Darling and Vigoroux kept us in the game. Should have lost.

I didnt watch it, but a point is a point at the end of a lot of fixtures in a short period. We only have a small squad realistically, so fatigue is natural.

Although we were absolutely sh1te today - that's 3 extra points we've taken in the 90+ minute in the last 2 home games.

Makes a massive change from us throwing points away in the 90+ minutes!!

I’ve just about got the feeling back in my feet and hands.

Darling our best player by a mile with a mention in dispatches for Vig.
Grimes hit more bad passes today than he usually does in a couple of months. Key and Tymon don’t seem to have any idea of what they’re supposed to be doing. Vipotnik has obviously had three Christmas puddings a day for the last 10 days. Eom is pathetically weak and ineffectual.

We stole a point with a real collectors piece, a Joey header. Thankfully it shut the noisy midlanders up.

I need gin.

Poor game. Jammy sub but very well done Joey. Special thanks must be given to MpH who got stuck in to the Baggy who was bullying Abdullai. Shows he does care.

Yes! Showed more commitment in that solitary action than practically anyone else in a white shirt today!

Needs to show those cojones in the tackle..

Managed to pilfer a point in the end. Key looked like he'd been smoking something all game. Grimes' passing was atrocious, nullifying the only reason he is on the pitch every game. Tymon, Ronald, and Cullen were useless. I could probably go on. Bland, uninspiring football with little or no quality; then up pops Joey to blag us a richly undeserved point.

This season cannot end quickly enough for me.

when your my age, youd want it too drag out as much as possible,

Sky highlights didn't show the handball

If its the one in the first half then they showed replays during the coverage - it was one of those if its for you you firmly believe it to be a penalty but if its given against you the referee is totally imcompetent and should never be allowed to officiate again
