It always is when we play Wednesday. We haven't won against them for 7 years.

at least hull conceded four tonight and the arse stayed tight and didn't let anything in, that will take their goal difference down a bit, we're still in this title race!!

In that case, it's a tad difficult to maintain your view that he made a mistake.
Wednesday were extremely confident at the back, with nice defensive one touch passes. Thay had a little go at us from time to time, but basically ;parked the bus, and were timewasting from early first half (the keeper especially).
The ref and linos were dire. Random decision generators.
Wee DID look quite confident tonight, and our game was mired mainly by the usual dithering in midfield (with no Kayal, I mean), and a stand out stinker from Stevens and later on, a Dunk classic (a backpass to the keeper, from near the half way line, went out for a corner, FFS - albeit other than that he looked assured)
What with all that and the weather, I'd take the point and move on.

It was a tactical mistake, the same as Cardiff away. Albeit less costly. Still a mistake.

You know the exact condition of Kayal's groin injury? Care to elaborate?
And the answer to the inevitable 'why was he on the bench, then?' is that the bench is a ludicrous size these days, and he's probably good at firing up the others on the bench, maintaining morale etc. Plenty of useful room for him on the bench. And hopefully, now, he will start the next game

Was that the worst ref we have ever had at the amex. When was the back pass rule abolished. Why didn't we get a foul for any of the tackles from behind in the first half yet in the second every minor thing they got a free kick. And why did he give a Nazi salute every time he blew his whistle.

On the radio they are saying no penetration
What went wrong? we don`t have a decent striker not one, not the teams fault .

Except when we beat them 3-0 in the first amex season or was it the second
I have a horrible feeling we will look back on this season as the one that got away. Massive unbeaten run for the first half, then dire for 5 weeks, then back on song (including a nice pair of 4-0's) but then unable to build any momentum. You have to win games like tonight if you want to go up.

How many chances did they miss tonight then?

Not from where I was watching. Neither side deserved the full quota tonight. A share of the spoils was the right result for me.

Not a shot on target not one, promotion without strikers don`t think so

Yes, I know that. I can read the match stats too. The question was, how many chances did they have which they failed to convert. Care to tell us?
Ok, purely my view on it.
The night started with a flat pint of Harveys, and ended pretty flat.
Sheffield's defence looked solid, as did ours, Bannon was allowed a free run because Sidwell looked and played like a loan player on a good wage, at the end of a career at a club that he has no affection/allegiance or heart for. We lacked creativity, pace and guile tonight. A point was all we deserved imo.
The clubs in and around the play off positions did not fair well, but the pleasure of Boro losing is put into perspective when they have won one and lost one where as we have drawn two, which means they have picked up 3 points from two games and we have picked up 2 points. Boring Hull now have a couple of games in hand and Burnley have pulled away.
We must beat Burnley at home and Boro away and hope they slip up as well against other sides. Still all to play for but we must turn draws into wins.

No, Middlesbrough have a game more to play. We cannot make up the points on Burnley, and Hull and Middlesbrough have more games than us to play.
We have run out of road to catch top 2
I didn't realise that a 2 point gap to 2nd place in the table meant that it was mathematically impossible to make up that difference especially when there are still 10 games to go and 30 points up for grabs
Games in hand don't guarantee points, and their having more points than we do now also doesn't mean that we can't catch them up. Anything can happen and nothing has been decided

Wasn't at the game. So if they were doubling up on our wingers every time, were our full backs not overlapping ? Who was doubling up ? That should have created space for others, did we not that ? Or was it just a shite day at the office? Seems a world away from the Leeds thumping
