What was his reaction to Tomlin
Should have gone for it with them corners in injury time 4 centre half's on the pitch and two 6 foot plus strikers
Today showed massive progress I thought. We wouldn’t have drawn that last year. The back 4 were outstanding and the goalkeeper

Point away v Bradford playing 55 mins with 10men is a decent start.
Heading for the corner was the only sensible option there. Don't forget Heffernan against Arsenal!

Second half they were much improved. Right back & left back were excellent & the keeper solid.
Oliver got in once, Williams won everything in the air today. Outstanding I thought
If we’d put those corners into the box I’d have felt like we’d learned nothing from last season. So many times last year we did part of the job and then capitulated. Putting the ball into the box would’ve given Bradford the last chance to break that they were desperate for after we’d already done the hard work to earn a point in very difficult circumstances. Proud of how organised and disciplined we were yesterday, and of the ‘dark arts’ we had to show to see the game out. McSheffrey and his staff deserve huge credit for that.
