Unlucky up to now. Though we couldn't half do with Billy or Matt Done being able to hold the ball up just now & then. It's as if it's a bar of soap.
 

Been the better team in my opinion, looked good going forward, especially Freeman who id written off so fair play to him.

Would hate to be Basham when Wilder sees that video of him not jumping.
 
If the wall had jumped and Dack struck it low...

But either way the wall either needs to jump or stand, not a mixture.
 
Freeman the diving twat!

How about stay on your feet and stick the ball in the back of the net?
 
Playing well - think Basham is doing a good job. Billy seems to be doing a better job this second half. Think Clarke for Sharp seems sensible.
 
Thank fuck for that, thought we were the better team and deserved the win. Bloody hell what Id do to have Dack in our team.
 

Made up with that, still a lot of work to do, but three points in a comeback, that'll do me

Great free kick though. Surprised how little pressure you put on us. We're always liable to cave in like last year.
 
Deserved win,good solid away performance and loads more to come..Freeman MoM.
 
Really good comeback – and a deserved 3 points.

My individual ratings as follows...

Moore 7.5/10 – impressive. Bailed us out in the opening minutes with an excellent save 1-on-1. Distribution was reasonable too – rolling out to defenders where possible. Came a long way to try and claim a ball late on, dropping it in a Long-esque fashion that luckily wasn't punished. Looked generally very confident though.

Freeman 7.5/10 – has remodelled his look to give him the appearance of Monty, and showed Monty-esque work rate up the right all game. Defending was a little flaky at times, but he got himself into some great positions – most notably for the goal.

Lafferty 6/10 – looked better than Hussey, but didn't impress to be honest. Looked a little like Aidy White – hopefully he will improve.

Wilson 6/10 – probably the poorest of the back three, though not dreadful by any means. Seemed to be the culprit of our shakier moments.

Wright 7/10 – he had a shaky first few minutes and was bailed out by Moore early on. But aside from that, I thought he was quite solid and calm.

McConnell 7.5/10 – very good I thought, not just defensively but powering forward too

Basham 7.5/10 – very good performance, perhaps better in a three. Helped ensure we were on the front foot

Coutts 8/10 – MOTM. As a Coutts critics, I was surprised by the effort. If he plays like that consistently, he has a place in this squad.

Duffy 5/10 – thought he had a bit of a stinker. Nothing seemed to go right for him – consistently poor delivery, passes misplaced, one decent shot, many poor shots. Slowed the game down a lot when quick thinking was required. Alongside Coutts, he looked the sluggish one. Surprised the Scougall change didn't happen earlier

Done 6/10 – lots of effort, but for me looked a bit lost. But was involved in the equaliser to be fair.

Sharp 7/10 – should have scored a couple more, but gets some credit for setting up the equaliser and scoring the winner (cue "oh it was only a penalty" comments). Not at his best, and could have been subbed – luckily he wasn't.

Subs
Ebanks-Landell – began with a foul and a terrible cross. A few headers alongside that.
Clarke – should have scored with the one opportunity he had. Less lumped at him after he came on than I expected (and welcomed)
Scougall – perhaps should have come on 15/20 mins earlier for Duffy, not really on long enough to be involved

Was a perfect free kick for our goal, defensively we are a shadow of the team we were at this point last season with our last clean sheet being the game against yourselves at bramall lane last season

A good summary but I would never use the final sub 20-25 minutes before the end when you're on top and earning at least a very good point.

If someone gets injured we're unnecessarily down to ten men and struggling to hold on. If Moore gets sent off or injured we've an outfield player in goal and probably screwed.

I thought taking Wilson off was unnecessary to be honest unless it was enforced. It reduced our other options.

Note to self. When following match on here and it gets to full time, check name of poster before slinging shovel down garden in disgust.

    Agree Coutts MOTM, a bit of a feel of the Spackman era about that today...
 

Wanted to post in "match reaction" but can't, so, THANK FUCK FOR THAT!!!
