Well to be honest I think this could be a big point come the seasons end. Disappointing not to win but I feared all week we'd lose this one 8)
2014 will be our year !!

I'll take the point, we looked a bit nervy, and plymouth played above the level that their league position suggests, they looked pretty organised.

Westwood at fault for the goal unfortunately, came out for the cross at the free kick and got nowhere near it. Mcindoe's goal was probably another keeper error, he really should of kept that out, but i'm not complaining.

Anyone know about the halt time subs? Gunnar was getting lumps hit out of him in the middle, injury possibly?

Point gained. Could have been all three had the late chance(s) gone in, but they didn't. Beating Cardiff is more important than beating Plymouth.

Indeed it is! And regarding Gunnarrsson-he was just shit-not injured.

I think so, as there was still a lot of positives. If anything it was irony - we've played worse recently and picked up three points. It's disappointing to only draw with a team in the relegation places but it's by no means the ends of the world. The unbeaten run is still going so the momentum is still there.

Cardiff is a much bigger game as they're competing with us so if I could only win one of Plymouth or Cardiff, it'd be Cardiff.

I was half listening to Colemans post match interview and believe he said Gunnarson was injured. He said Wright was taken off because he's one yellow away from a two game suspension... :?

Gunnarson has looked injured for some time now.
He needs a rest but unfortunately it is central midfield where we have the fewest options.
Point gained for me in a dull match we easily could have lost.

Points lost for me. They're second from the bottom and we are at home. We should have beaten them to keep the pressure on Blackpool, Cardiff and Leceister. I have no complaints about the result though. We looked lethargic in the first-half and once again left it to late for Eastwood to do any damage.

think we need at least 10 points from the next 5 games just to keep in touch, so its not going to be easy to say the least 8)

I thought we should have won really, it felt like two points dropped rather than one gained.

Westwood will get the blame for their goal, but I have no idea what Wright was doing to give the freekick away - it looked like he tried to punch the ball! Him and Gunnarsson were rubbish so it was good to see Coleman make the changes straight away. I agree with Des on Eastwood though - he should have been on 10 minutes earlier. Morrison was my MotM.

Drawing with Plymouth will probably have provided a bit of a reality check - just in time for the 'proper' fixtures.

Agreed, but in light of both Blackpool and Cardiff losing we haven't lost ground.
Next two matches are critical particulary Baaadiff.

I would have taken Baker off with 15 mins to go. He'd run himself into the ground.

2 Points lost for me. All the other results went our way again. If we had of won we would of been above Blackpool and level with druids. It makes the Barrrdiff game a must win now as sooner or later the teams around us will start winning again.

That said none of us thought we would be anywhere near the playoffs at the turn of the year so we have done well to be in mixer with 10 games left. I think we will need 70 points for the playoffs so thats 2 points a game until the end of the season.
