Was a point a good result yesterday?

[1973_Blade]

After all the discussions about the performance yesterday a simple question.

 

[Slugger]

Under the circumstances (10 men) definitely yes

 

[moDtheGod]

I'd have taken it before the game, plus the ten men situation - definite "yes".

 

[Highbury_Blade]

Would have been happy with a point before the game with 11 men, so ecstatic that we held on for a draw, considering the pressure Simmo was coming under towards the end.

Having said that, Cardiff weren't great so, had we stayed with 11 men, I would have hoped we could have got another and won it.

 

[Fiery Blade]

Albeit Cardiff were very poor, a point with 10 men which included both Monty and Quinn is excellent -

Shouldn't this be in 'Same old same old'


Oh and yes

 

[Fiery Blade]

Shouldn't this be in 'Same old same old'


and yes

No Boo Answered the question a point was excellent and I would have taken that before the match but Cardiff were poor and we would have been disappointed if 'The boot was on the other foot' and we would have drawn v Cardiff at home after they had a guy sent off after 30 minutes!

Good point, good performance from ertl and simmo - good start to the season - i would have taken that with 11 men before kick off so 10 men for most of the game shows were going to have something about us this season. lets push on from here!

Are we capable of pushing on from here - I have not seen anything that fills me with optimism!

 

[LouTheBlade]

Simple question, simple answer - YES

Both before the game and in retrospect.

We held out with 10 men for an hour against one of the best sides in the division away from home.

I would suggest that having not assembled our entire squad yet and the fact that we still have 23 home games to play..........we look as if we are more than capable of pushing on from here. The ability is there but we have to go out and do it! Sunday's result was good starting point.

 

[Grecian2000]

Having taken 11/5 for the draw I thought it was an excellent result.

 

[SotonBlade]

Good point in my opinion. Thought Ertl did very well to say he was out of position. i expect a totally different back four in the next game though!

 

[JJ Sefton]

I was pretty happy with it.

 

[Zinedine]

I was happy with it, it was like the same tie last season. We got hammerd for alot of the match and dealt with it in a way 90% of other teams wouldn't be capable of doing. Good way to start the season in terms of the result.

We played well and seemed to gain more momentum as we went along up to the sending off

 

[DuncDisorderly]

I've said yes, but actually that is only in the context of the sending off. If Lowton had stayed on the field, I think we were shaping up for a nice opening day win...

 

[holmfirthblade]

I would have taken a point before the game, I was hoping for more when I saw the Cardiff sub's bench but after the sending off a point was a great result.
