Excellent performance and result.

First half, we defended stubbornly but didn't really get the balance right as it was purely rear guard action. Unfortunately, the our one lapse was punished with real quality.

Second half I thought we were very good. Equally stubborn, but carrying a threat on the break. Grew into the game and always looked capable of getting that goal back. Made a defensive lapse at the end after equalising, but luckily Johnstone was in top form to preserve the point.

I think that has to go down as the best performance of the season, when you consider Liverpool have turned everyone over at home.

When I saw the team, I didn't think we were capable of getting anything except a spanking. But it seems Sam has really drilled the lads on the training ground this week. Everyone seemed to know their job and even the players who you don't associate with defending really put a shift in. Sawyers was tackling, Grady busting a gut to get back and help Gibbs, while Phillips looked like a different player in the middle.

2 big games to come at home against Leeds and Arsenal. Could really do with following this performance up with 4 points to start believing.
