Just shows what you can achieve when you setup to be stubborn, don't have any passengers jogging about (Pereira) and have a bit of luck...

I was a tad disappointed by the lack of ambition to even try and snatch something 2nd half. After Austin came on, we just couldn't get out. At least Grant - despite not being able to trap a bag of sand - was an outball.

But it's a point gained that I didn't think was possible.

I was so angry at the end, on the one occasion that we did get out with numbers when Krovi was fouled by Ake, that Krovi didn't take the quick free kick to Gallagher who was busting his guts to try and win the game for us seeing that we had a 3 on 3 with a quick free kick. Unfortunately the dead heads Krovi and Austin were so satisfied with 1 point that they were oblivious that we actually had a chance to go at City's goal.

But despite that, obviously chuffed overall. Just hope Slav learns that the extra man in midfield is far more useful than the extra man at the back.

Some excellent performances today, namely O'Shea and Ajayi. I also thought that Phillips and Grady also put a real shift in. Double whammy with Grady in that he was one of the 2 players who were willing to put their foot on the ball, along with Sawyers, to occasionally alleviate the pressure. That didn't go unnoticed with me.

But the man of the match goes to Johnstone, who I've been critical of in the past, but was very good at everything tonight from shot stopping to getting off his line early.

Overall, let's hope we see that commitment over and over again, not just against the top sides.
