Good point in the end, and but for a moment of madness from McMahon should surely have ben three.
We started really brightly, and Miller finished nicely after a terrible piece of defending by his marker. They then buzzed about to no great effect and our second was scored point blank by Murphy after great work on the right by Miller.
We then missed a gilt edged chance to make it three before McMahon was sent off. I think he was angry at the way the referee conducted a drop ball just moments before, but he simply can't lose his cool like that. Even then, had we hung on until half time I think we would have been OK. But once again we failed to clear our lines and Parker scored from close in.
The second half was one way traffic, and after making several splendid saves it was galling for Lewis to shovel in the equaliser from the corner. After that, they had plenty of ball but struggled to fashion a decent chance. In truth, they are pretty poor, especially at the back. On a different night, we would probably have won comfortably
Good support in terms of noise and numbers - maybe 500/600 there in total.

I was thinking it might get up to maybe 700 swelled in part by DJ Campbell and his mates. | | | |

Just got in from the match & to be honest that was the best performance I've seen from pool this season .
Deservedly 2-0 up & should have been 3 . Then a moment of McMahon madness followed by a quick goal that should have been cleared .
Second Half was Alamo stuff , attack v Defence . We seemed to let them have the ball out wide & did little to stop the cross , but when the ball got in the box the team to a man defended gallantly conceding what must be close to a record number of corners . Lewis made several outstanding saves & then it looked like a corner went straight in at the near post(?).
We had no out ball at all second half & didn't win any second ball when we did find our man .
At the end of the day 1 point isn't much use to us , we NEED wins !! but given the the red card it was a well earned point & the players looked gutted with only the one | | | |

For those who didn't go what changed from Saturday - anyone give us a lowdown of the player's performances? | |

Very good support considering our situation going into the game, and Saturday's performance. Nearly spilt my red wine when we went 2 nil up.......it sounded like we were playing with a confidence we haven't shown all season. long may it last.
Thanks for the report  | |

They were poor? They had 77% of the possession which seems rather a lot. | |

Possession means nothing if you don't do anything with it.
We allowed them to get wide and put crosses in which we then dealt with relatively comfortably.
They didn't make the most of the opportunity of playing against 10 men, so to that extent they weren't that good. | | | |

They were a poor team. Very few players if any stood out as classy. I think it's safe to say that the likes of Ruiz and Rodallega are playing within themselves. | |
| We got Bogdanovic, Oyston got very rich |

I can use that title aswell, stayed overnight and arrived home a while ago.
After a few pre game scoops, at a ridiculously overpriced South London Boozer, I decided to not bother with the food when I saw Scotch Eggs at £5, Soup at £6 and Sausage and Mash at £12. Instead I waited till I goit to the Cottage and had one of their wonderful Cottage Pies at £4.50.
As for the game, Robbie has it about right. We doiminated Fulham at the beginning of the game and it looks as though Lee Clark has pumped some belief into the players, I just hope it wasn't a one off. We should really have been three up before the fateful red card and then it was a backs to the wall game. I didn't see the offence, but have to take other's word for it and if true it was a stupid thing to do particulalry right in front of the ref. We should remember that Fulham was, last season, playing in the Premier league and to keep them down to two goals with ten men, for most of the game, was a gargantuan task that the team handled well.
The ref made some very strange decisions and I was sure on a couple of occasions gave Fulham advantages they didn't deserve. On looking at the footage I'm sure Lewis was pushed for their second goal and he did remonstrate with the ref, but to no avail.
Three points would have been excellent, but, I suppose a draw away from home has to be accepted.
I went back to the hotel happy and decided to have a nightcap before retiring. Five Pounds flaming ten for a pint. Now I know why I like the North of England.  | |
