Happy with the draw but that was a terrible goal to give up. Just lazy from Izzo.

The conceded goal was farcical. And probably the type of goal which lifts the opposition and demoralises the conceding team.

United deserved the half time lead, but in the final analysis City probably deserved a point.

I just don't get how Shay Harrison can bring a player down from behind like he did in the first half, nowhere near the ball, and what I thought was a red didn't even get a yellow. And absolutely no comment from the commentary box.

But the conceded goal.... it was comical.

Crap, looks like Mileusnic has done an ACL.
Unfortunately I agree.
Is The Birdman on loan to the Reds?

It’s very early days but the new number 9 failed to inspire me. Also I think we are leading the league for dumbarse goals. Izzo does a lot of great work but his distribution of the ball is very average.

Crap, looks like Mileusnic has done an ACL. Hope not as bad as it looks.
Ankle apparently, but it did look like a knee

Also, unlike Jack I liked some things I saw from Jordy. Big, strong and laid the ball off nicely to his teammates. Had a poor touch at times but thatll improve with game time.

The one thing about these injuries is it will give chances to kids like Armiento and D'Arrigo.

Liked him BUT if that is as good as his first touch gets then we are in strife.

Confident it's not though as he can bag a couple goals in the next 3 games.

Blackwood is such a frustrating player to watch.
At times he reminds me of a donkey, no offense to donkeys.
Should have scored that, but hes been our best thus far.

Blackwood channelling his inner Carrusca with those turns.

Game over.

They haven't had many chances but have made the most of them.

Dominate possession but smashed on the scoreboard.

No subs used?
Hmm yeah about that need for a defender.....
