    and failing to see out games - usually only ends one way.

    Early days for our team. We have thrown away 3 points in the last 5 minutes of the last 2 games though and that needs to be stopped pronto

    Weve picked up a point not lost though - glass half full. Sounds like we battered em first half. Need to take our chances and put teams out of sight. We will get the right balance.

    Quick look down the board and a lot of people going over the top again on one result. Up one game down the next and dragon tyke managed it one half to the next today. Get them pills taken Dragon.

    Definitely not battered anyone. Scrappy match livened up by a great goal. Outthought and outplayed second half.

    Ive only listened in on commentary tonight. Will see what hecky makes of it. He normally tells it as it was. Sure he wont be happy if weve given a soft goal away again.

    Deserved result. A draw was fair. A positive. I’m not sure about that. I’d be surprised if there will be 3 worse teams to come to Oakwell this season. Better than losing that’s about it.

    A good indication of who the bottom three are going to be is the goal differences. There are currently five teams who are worse in that respect, Bolton and Burton greatly so.

    How can a point be a positive if you score first?

    Imo we didn't batter them, we were second best and could not see us scoring a second goal in a month of Sundays . We have much to learn

    I suppose a point is a positive when you've played as hopelessly as we did in the second half.

    Cos we didn't even deserve a point.

    That's my theory too. The 3 teams that go down will be those with the 3 worst goal differences after 10 games. That's Bolton, Burton and Sunderland. We'll be ok.

    To say we battered them first half is definitely over doing it. We were solid enough but good teams will batter QPR properly.

    In the second half good teams would have battered us out of sight.

    I'd love you to be right but I wouldn't write off Burton tbh. They'll battle like hell and pick up a few points you don't expect. We'll be down there for sure on evidence so far. Might need 2 or 3 key signings in Jan that the new owners can finance

    When we were defending not passing it on to anyone - no one there ball came back on us .a better team would have siezed oportunity and won .
    Cant play ball out of defence.
    But when we played ball forward we were threatening
