    Listening on radio Sheffield we are not getting a look in. We dont have a presence or any fire in our bellies This team is diabolical and Heckjys selection is beyond believe.

    It's taken 70 minutes but we've finally had a bit of sustained pressure, which we've obviously not scored during. Point would still be a good result.

    Maybe the game plan was to try weather the storm for as long as possible and hope to have a bit of pressure in the 2nd half. Brentford are the sort of team to come out of the traps and get the first goal then tire. They've lead first in 3 of their last 4, and the only one they won was the game where they didn't score first.

    Little bit of time left.

    I think they worked hard today and deserved the point. An improvement over the last few games.

    When you have gone 5 loses on the bounce an away draw no matter how you have played must come as a great relief.

    A long drive back from London with a point will feel like a huge relief.

    Any team would lack confidence after 5 poor losses on the bounce.

    Credit in spades to the team for grinding that out.

    And with time sounds like a bit of confidence came back. Just unlucky with Barnes effort and Bradshaws miss.

    Pinnock back fit, Isgrove and the unknown quantity Cavare closing in on fitness.

    January just round the corner where a few astute signings could help the whole squad.

    Hecky new contract and takeover next week?

    Amazing what a point can do to lift the mood. Would snap your hand off for another point next week.

    My take on today. Happy with a point.

    Brentford could have been in front several times in the opening minutes. They were better with the ball and quicker to the ball, which we gifted them far too many times.

    Being goalless at halftime was an improvement on previous games.

    Last 15 20 we were much better and Brentford offered little and we could have won the game, but it would have been harsh on Brentford.

    They hammered us first half but lacked a goalscorer. Second half started much the same then we seemed to switch up a gear and really rattled them and had 2-3 near misses. We deserved the point but I’m sure I wasn’t the only one who expected that injury time pressure to turn into a goal for them.
