    Better than most seasons including last year.

    Very pleased with that, even though we could have won both.

    Yep it's certainly a rarity to get anything at either. We'll be coming away from QPR with points next!!

    Especially as we've come from behind in the matches to really flukey goals.
    Well done, lads. Steady improvement.

    The steady improvement bit is what I'm happy about. More chance of the team staying together and building something really special.

    I think that's a good call. Last season, with a better side, we still blew hot and cold, and in between the good start and an excellent end to the year, didn't we have that run of 1 win in 11 or something like that? Not that we were poor.

    But you're right with this team so far this season, we've slowly settled down and look a decent side. Still some naivety but we've played some really good stuff at times and it's credit to players, management and coaching staff that we've looked so capable. There's some quality in there, and it's starting to look like the improvement could be sustained. Nice and steady does it for me.

    I think we were in a position last year where Conor, Winnall, Watkins, Scowen, Robbo were at the tops of their game. After a poor 18 months in L1 they clicked, and carried that form into the championship.

    This team still haven't clicked, and don't believe that We're seeing the finished article in McCarthy, Potts, McGeehan etc. So perhaps, just perhaps, this team in 18 months will show us what they're all about.

    A few more clever signings in January and I think we have another few exciting years.

    This year will still be hard. Such a tough league with so much money for these lads stepping up straight into it without the 18 months the last squad had to bed in at L1 level.

    All positive for me. But I do clap happy.

    Very pleased with today's performance.

    When Norwich scored from nowhere we looked a bit flat, and I feared the worse, but these lads are made of sterner stuff.

    Happy with the draw, could have been a win but it's another game unbeaten.

    Some great performances from the lads today. Some very positive signs.
