If they try to sit back and defend their lead we can get something out of this game. I’ve certainly not given up hope. The only problem is we could get caught on the break.

Brum doing a first class job of running the clock down.

We’ve been so poor for the whole game . Bit of a pattern of dropping form over the last few league games since we came vs k from that international break.

That’s 2 for Harness both made by Scarlett. ⚽️⚽️

It looks like McKenna has undone Rooney in the second half. What a turnaround this has been.

Went to post and the damn thing crashed. It's 2 - 2 now, we've scored again and Harness with it. Sense of relief above all else.

I'd rather play it safe now than risk a third for them or go for a winner ourselves. Just couldn't bear to lose now that's we're level again. Hate these tight uncertain finishes. A point now would be satisfactory. Go to time.

As good point considering how poorly we’ve played. Brum ran out of steam but bloody hell we aren’t playing well are we .

Also , I was harsh in Scarlett. That was the most effective he’s played for us

OMG that is like a win, incredible comeback which wouldn't have happened without the substitutions so well done KM, Harness has looked excellent every time he's come on this season and I'm so pleased for him

I wanted Four points from these Two games and we are back on course. It's games like today that will make the difference cus in years gone by that is a,defeat all day long.

Well, of course much preferred to win but cannot doubt Kieran's decisions nor the never say die from Town

Getting a result like been said before when not at your best is sign of a great team

Well we have been behind few times this season yet we still get something. Awful conditions, played crap still getting a point. How good is Harness now also?

Finished 2-2 BUT Kieran should have made those changes in the 60-minute mark, not 70+, When will he listen to me :x But 2-2 is a bloody good comeback, and I can see who will be deselected for our next match, that defence has got to be changed Clarke p*ss poor wolfie needs to buck his ideas up Tuanzebe needs proper game time now so Burgess or Wolfie needs benching.

we got to be upbeat because the team saved it late on, came from a two goal reverse and took a point away.

Would have wanted the victory obviously, Leicester defeat and two extra points for us would have been ideal but you take what you can and try not to overthink things. Can't remember last time the team lost on the road in league, may have been Oxford in the fog but seems so far back hard to recollect certain details.

Join in with game analysis and highlights and things at a later time. Right now just relief we saved it and got another point for the promotion challenge. Harness is proving a usual addition for sure.

MOTM?


Think I’d go for Harness. Hard to pick any of the players that played the majority of the game.

Looking back we’ve got 7 points from our last three league games , when we really haven’t hit any great heights . Need reinforcements in Jan but a very hard Dec to get through b4 then …

I would say 2 max is what is needed Liz, but we need to push out a few as well either sell or loan out, and also we have some great young talent Bagott is pushing for a start in defence maybe alongside Tuanzebe could be an ideal partnership, we have enough in midfield and strikers
