But…..showing spirit and dominance in parts of games. Looking threatening from some areas. Had a very tough opening 4 games.

Looking like a play off team at the moment.

Next 4 pretty tough as well, the fixture computer hasn't been kind.

Not a horrible result.

However the elephant will remain in the room until January at least.

Hard to be disappointed being 2-0 down and getting away with a draw but the obvious deficiencies will cost, Lennon doesn’t sound up to it. Hopefully Mullin is back next week as it’s not just his goals we’ll be missing, the same midfield has played the last 2 games and the same result of a non dominant display so hopefully changes will be made for next week.

We’ve got a very difficult first 10 fixtures and a new team. Just need to keep pace with leaders then push on.

Midfield needs addressing surly parkinson knows this

Agree in the whole but I dont get this attitude regarding the long throws. I've read and heard a few people saying they are a waste. Can't agree. I can agree we haven't benefited from them to date. In fact, seems today we went one down straight from a throw but thats counter attack. Could have happened from a corner or free kick into box. Have heard many people moan when we take a short corner stating its a wasted opportunity to het ball in box so why waste the opportunity with a throw. A bit of tweaking and accuracy we have a real asset. Other than that,we blew hot and cold today. French,another good performance. Think we missed PMs contribution but Angus popped up so cant knock him. A point away at Southend I honestly believe is a point gained not two lost.

1 win in 4, with Grimsby, Dagenham and Stockport to come after Woking. Some serious work needs to go into this 3-5-2, because we keep getting picked off and those sides will have a field day.

Difficult test, despite Southend's home form they sounded well up for it, as most teams will be when Wxm come to town. We can't expect too much too soon, with 10 new signings having to bed in and like last season we need to get the back 5 settled asap to get some consistency, but another difficult away test navigated. Hopefully, Brisley isnt far away if Lennon's game time is having to be managed. Big difference we have the fire power now to get a result in these sort of tests. Definitely a point gained.

Yes mate,one in four but zero losses with three away games and one at home to a very decent free scoring County team.
