Another fantastic 90 minutes from Cullen, who no doubt will play another 90 against Millwall. He is a special talent at our level, and I would not be shocked to see him play in the Premiership next year.
Huge point and totally unexpected considering the changes made to the line up.
I didn't expect us to concede many playing Lockyer, Pearce and Sarr ahead of Phillips - that's a very dependable defensive unit
Unfortunately they've conceded enough prior to the lockdown, thankfully we've now got a dependable midfield back which is helping them out
Means that Bowyer has been able to get us organised in a fashion we've not really seen since October
Totally agree and said this before lockdown. It was never the defence, it was the fact that the midfield just didn’t protect them which was the reason we were conceding so many.

Was saying it till I was blue in the face, it was so clear and obvious
Just hope we dont lose Field now because him and Pratley rotating was one of the key areas in Midfield
I suspect the Field substitution affected Bowyer's plans, as he probably planned for Field to last the 90. A shame Aneke had to go off, as he was really dangerous whereas Green was anonymous in the second half
Good battling performance against a top 6 team, take that point all day long.
This.
Problem is I can't see where a goal for us us coming from. Probably need another 2 wins & that will have to come from the defenders from corners as before because the forwards are pony. Bonne our if his dept. Green is more a winger (even then he's average) & Chuks is powerful but lacks a finish.
Credit to Oshilaja. Gets some stick but I believe that’s the 5th different position he’s played for us this season, and he’s been decent every time. Definitely the type of player you want in the squad.
My mantra for these 9 games is and was “Just don’t Lose” - and it’s working!
Disappointing to see us really sit back and lose complete control , when the changes were made - felt green stayed on too long, and going to a back 5 was suicidal! Could have pushed on had it not been changed - although I understand that Aneke had to go off (although he looks a lot stronger ability wise than Bonne)
Cullen was absolutely immense, especially in the first half. The ball just seemed to stick to Aneke - looked like he would play well with a certain un-named individual. Absurd save yet again from Dils.
Can't remember the last time I was so happy with a 0-0. We don't need to worry about others picking up points if we keep doing the business.
A selection of comments from the match thread ......... all from the same poster - but can you guess who???
Shit a brick. I think my 2-0 win with Bonne & McGeady
scoring has gone up in flames. Shit midfield with no creativity. Will change my
prediction to a 3-0 defeat.
Might need it as the starting 11 is pony.
Lapslie runs about like a headless chicken. No skill &
no creativity
So fucking annoying. Keeps pausing. Havent seem a single
second of the game so far I want my money back.
Green is another 1 footed player
Ffs !!! I dont mind
players shooting.....but Lockyer ??
So much possession, so little threat.
Again.....get up the pitch & then run out of ideas.
Yet another wasted corner. And you're telling me we
practiced that crap.
Being hampered by having Lapslie at RB.
That passage of play sums us up. Doughty breaks away &
stop on the edge of the box. Passes between Cullen, Lapslie & AN other
leads to nothing.
Yet another wasted corner.
They've brought in good dangerous players in Hoillet &
Tomlin. Expect one of them to score
Another wasted cross
Where is everyone...??
Cant sit back
What is Green doing...?
Worse than us.
More weird substitutions. Looks like we are going for 0-0.

However you can't fault the hard work and effort, and it's a great point against a play off chasing side and now 3 straight clean sheets.
Still unbeaten against the top 6 this season.
What has Williams done to upset Bowyer though? Man can't get even a 10 minute cameo these days.

Second Half was our best performance as a defensive unit - Barely gave them a sniff at goal
3 games
7 points
0 conceded
Plenty of rotation so a fresh squad, probably more so than others.
Great re-starts.
Just can't believe that with 6 games to go there is not at least one but usually 2 teams adrift. Mad season.

Concerned with the lack of open play chances / goals, but that’s a worry for another day.
Last season you would have stayed up with 41 points. Going to be a huge going down total this year. Every point is vital
