    Excellent performance and a pity we didn't get the 3 points as I think we edged it overall. As mentioned, there were quality performances all across the park but have to say the centre-halves did an excellent job keeping top quality strikers very quiet. And our centre-midfield pairing provided the perfect combination of intensity in ball-winning and distribution: some of the through balls to Derek (who led the line very well and kept showing for it so kept getting it, good to see) from midfield were absolutely top notch and we were only inches away from unlocking their defence quite a few times.

    It showed what we've known all season - on our day we can match anyone in this league. So we just need to make each match day our day.

    indeed, weve drawn with first and second and truth be told, we should have beaten both of them. after that, weve dropped points in 4 games that should never have happened and if we were to play all 4 games again, im sure wed pick up 8 or 9 points at least.

    Two stupid defeats to Full Irish and Dargle and late goals in both games against Dell has been 8 stupid points that we should never have dropped.

    I thought boards were by far and away the better side first half, creating decent opportunities, much clearer than those given away and defending very well in numbers before halftime, especially from corners. I don't think they won a single header from their own corner all game.

    It was a more even second half, neither side had great chances and yet both sides could've won it. At least no 5-1 collapses or 4-6 madness :p

    It's two points dropped. That performance deserved a win and there is no sweetening that up. Darren was exceptional in midfield, having Jack in there allows Darren to play. That has been the difference in our turn around in form. We are a solid unit these past few games. Best center midfield in the division along with the best right back.

    Yeah, we played very well for large parts. Once they scored they piled forward but we dealt with it pretty well and could have got the win with Daves shot at the end

    6 inches away from VICTORY!!!!!!................................should have played me in :#)
