Big shout out to Bunn for keeping us in the game today at times.

We need to look at our system very carefully though, we seem to just invite pressure onto ourselves in the last 20 minutes, and that''s absolutely got to change.

As for the rest though, we played decently in spells, and created enough to win the game - just the same problem as usual, not converting our chances. I think I heard someone say one goal in about 12 games for Holt or something like that, that''s terrible!

Have to say what a signing Camp''s been. Since he signed Bunn has up''d his game and thought he had a great game.

The cameo appearance by Becchio was ok. Won a couple of flick on''s and was unlucky not to win a pen. I know you can''t judge a player being on the pitch for 10 mins i feel he has enough about him to do well.

[King Klose 0]

Fantastic point really. The ref was abysmal.

[Pyro Pete 1,893]

Good day for goalkeepers. Bunn made some crucial saves, as did Cesar.Today highlighted how poor we are at passing the ball in midfield. Doesn''t matter who you have up front if your can''t get the ball to them.

What a total simpleton you are!

Great fighting point. Garrido needs a rest, every other defender was immense along with BJ because the ball just keeps coming back.

The commentators said Holt looked half a stone heavier than last season and this must be true. He is working really hard all over the pitch but hasn''t taken care of himself, he just cannot get away from his defender.

im sorry, how many points is that from the last 9 games ?they BARELY managed to grab a point against the team rooted to the bottom of the table today, under the cosh for pretty much the entire second half, its awful

[Rolf Harris 31]

Is Hughton Nigel Worthington 2.0, too conservative?

[King Klose 0]

Simpleton? I think the word is s c u m mer

[Herman 9,756]

F me that was a stressful second half. He really needs to sort out his use of subs. Glad we hung on for point though. That will hurt them more than us methinks.

[unique 435]

I thought Tettey had a terrific game for the most part, and gave the ball away far less often than others.

[WesHoolahansDefendant 0]

Johnson''s great until he gets the ball.

Hughton doesn''t have a clue.

Take the point though

Take the point though[/quote]His distribution has improved considerably since last season.He plays lofted balls over the full-backs into the channels with accuracy, and his short to medium range passing has been zipping along nicely as well.I just wish he''d let fly a little bit more often when he gets the ball 25+ yards out.

Better point from us than them.

Could have gone either way. Possibly more them.

Argee with the camp signing making bunn a different goalkeeper

You would think after watching us away from home this season people would have got used to Hughton playing for the draw but apparently not. Its not pretty, and I don''t particularly like it but it does look like its going to keep us up.

[JF 694]

Happy with the point but not happy with the performance of the management team. Match after match we end up under the cosh defending for our lives for the majority of the 2nd half and nothing is ever done about it, no subs or tactical changes to try to stop the onslaught, it''s just a case of stick with it and hope it comes off.

[AJ 1,218]

totally agree JF - it''s like Hootaan only has one team he likes to play, and one game plan. If that fails it''s just a case of weathering the storm.

That has GOT to change, and is absolutely half the reason we''re in a downward spiral. Injuries have forced him away from his one strategy, so we struggle

[BarclayCanary (Former HDDH) 0]

I am happy with a point would have liked to have seen Becchio a bit earlier.

Not bad considering the players they brought in and it keeps them at the bottom still

[BarclayCanary (Former HDDH) 0]

someone said in reponse to my fuck sake bunn comment and then nice save bunn that it sums the pinkun up, how does it I was pissed off Bunn gave away a pen and then made a superb save.

I think he has came on leaps and bounds

[Gnasher 0]

I''ll take a point but very disappointed. Hughton is really trying my patience with his pathetic use of subs.

Thought Johnson was awful today, couldn''t pass for toffee, so many wasteful punts to no one and wasn''t making an impact on the QPR midfield.

Kudos to Bunn for improving last couple of games though don''t like the fact we don''t ever play it short from the keeper anymore, think its impacted on our play long term.

never fails to amaze how people seem to read things that havnt actually been writteni didnt say anything about being the worst team in premiership history did ilets see how things stand after the rest of the games today. its appalling to watch, and if you think that was a point won by anything other than hanging for dear life then youre sorely mistaken, it wasnt a good point, it wasnt a good performance, we just scraped a point hanging on against a rubbish team with 3 or 4 new players in their starting line up that have never played together beforeCant score, manager has no plan B (even with his new "superstar" championship signing), happy to try and snatch a point. its absolute tosh. even eadie acknowledged too many people are clinging onto the points scored from the ten game run and reminded everyone about what happened last time.

I didn''t (luckily?) see the game but the bottom line was we wanted to deny QPR a win, and did that. Switching to two up front much earlier might have worked and produced a winner, or might have seen us under more pressure and so beaten. But - given that we now have Becchio - I would say that if we are drawing 0-0 or 1-1 with Fulham next Saturday with 30 minutes to go then Hughton should be more adventurous and go for the win.

[macdougalls perm 0]

Any point away from home in the premiership is a decent point. Simple as that.

And I really don''t see how we were lucky?!
