I like that team!

Im suprised Sweeney has been left out - he was one of our best players on Tuesday according to Radio Somerset. Sounds like he was running a lot over 120 minutes so maybe a well deserved rest.

I just cant get away with Hery he is either good or crap no inbetween
glad miller and asamoah getting a start

Sweeney would be in my team every week but as said covered every blade of grass over 120 mins other night

Mansfield 0 Luton 1, Exeter 1 Accrington 1

Wycombe/Orient would do us a favour if it results in a draw... Notts County need to pull their fingers out though...

Sounds like were missing loads of chances

Two points lost through our forwards losing their sharpness. Failure to finish teams off is going to cost us any chance of promotion.

Main problem was we sat back after we scored instead of going for a second goal.

Very unlucky today, a hat-full of good chances in the second half.

Kennedy could have been MOM if he hadn't given up after 15 mins..............

Really disappointed with that, if we have aspirations of the playoffs we need to bury them games, Jabo and Ellis missed sitters. Gilliead is dangerous but we really need something else if we want to seriously push for promotion.

Positives: Defence were sound, Ellis excellent again.

Despite a point, I'd be really worried if I were York at the minute. Apart from Olivier they're got nowt.

Dicker was my MOTM . Thought he was excellent.

Second vote for Dicker. Great break up and link up play, wish the crowd would stop urging him to shoot...

Should have put the game to bed long before their equaliser.

Ditto was surprised they gave it to Ellis........Dicker was everywhere putting in tackles and laying things off after coming out with the ball. Best I`ve seen him for a while.

You could see how the game was going and I feared they would score eventually, shame about the two misses, clear cut chances we missed. Not complaining too much but we need to get back to clinical ways

Dicker was great, thought hery did well too.

Should have been two or three up by half time. Sat back second half and tired and got what we deserved, a shame really cost we dominated first half. Pitch seemed quite bobbly and slow.

If we are to stand a chance of being in with a chance of promotion we need to get back to being lethal in front of goal, that's four points lost over the last couple of games through missed chances. We need Jabo and Wyke to get back to their best asap.

Although we missed some great chances I thought York deserved a point on the balance of play, I've seen far worse sides at BP this season. Just seen their goal on SSN and it's hard to see how it creeped in. We need to shift the ball quicker, too many times we held on to it far too long, the decision making was poor today.

Thought Ellis was MOM, Dicker and Kennedy ran him very close though. Gillesphey and Asamoah were poor. Annoying that we've dropped 4 points against bottom of the league this season, could be crucial.

Not sure where you're coming from here mate, one thing you can't accuse Kennedy of is giving up.

I'm still struggling to explain how jabo headed wide from 3 yards out

Agree about Hery,i don't see what he brings to the team,no end product whatsoever.

Totally agree with all that Frank.

We needed a quick second after the opening goal and they would've been heads down and caved in. Sadly we let them back into the game by overplaying it. It's always been the way though whoever has been in charge that we try to walk the ball in instead of players trying their luck from outside the box. I thought York were poor but hung on in there and how many times was their keeper outstretched really ,you could probably count on one hand.

Not clinical enough and as has already been said dropping four points to a side who is bottom of the league is not going to get you promotion. I commented in the first half that if we didn't put them away eventually they'll bag an equaliser.

Dicker head&shoulders; above everyone else for me,how he's at this level God knows. Ellis has been our best player for a month and is improving all the time. Gillesphey looked lost at times, not sure if he's unfamiliar with WB role but he looked at times whether he didn't know if to stick or twist. Miss of the season by Jabo, it looked particularly bad sitting in the East Stand.

At least we didn't lose and maybe we're saving the goals for Everton.

One of the texts on the radio saying it was disgraceful, how about an overreaction. Even a couple of York fans said we should've won 3-0.

Not to mention they could well possibly of been down to 9 (missed their lad hitting the ref)

Grainger was a big miss today especially 2nd half when he started tinkering............hopefully he`s back in and raring for next week

well, after another midweek game lasting another 120mins + penalties and with 6 changes to the starting line up, I think a draw was a good result. i'm gutted we drew the game due to a lot of missed chances but it could so easily have been a loss thinking back to Newport.

A draw a good result at home against the worst team in the football league? I dont think the 6 changes they made weakened the team - if anything it was a stronger team.

I thought in that last half hour we badly missed Joyce.

Dicker was good with his passing, but they were running off our midfielders with ease towards the end. We needed someone in there with a bit of tenacity to get stuck in and win the ball before they got into our defensive third. The lack of this caused us to drop too deep for my liking. I thought maybe the new guy from QPR could have been introduced to help see it out.

i know my opinion seems bizarre, but Newport were without a win before they played us.....so they were also the worst team at the time.
