    Battling display

    Shaky at times , especially first half , but battled on and could have sneaked it .

    Second clean sheet at home aswell. I'd keep Eastwood in until he does anything wrong. That's two brilliant displays vrs them. Gaining 2 valuable points. And that's exactly what they are, 2 valuable points against a very decent side at this level. Duffy looked poor, time for Kilgalon. He is a better centre half.
    We looked much better when Cairney came on. I thought Conway had an excellent second half.

    Like Bowyer said afterwards, we played very very well at Bolton the other day, much better than today, but we where unlucky. Far too many quickly jump on the bandwagon of doom. That doesn't help. Happy with a good all round performance, big crowd (from them) and a good game.

    The players played for 90 minutes, makes a massive difference. Could have easily lost it if the ref knew what a penalty looked like and if Eastwood hadn't been outstanding, but then they made 2 very good goalmouth clearences too. After they sqandered their chances late on, there was a decent chance of nicking it. Best performance in a long time, in terms of not shutting down for any period in the game. Looks like the Space Raiders worked Champs

    I always fancy us more in the tougher games. Remember, Brentford, Ipswich, Norwich, Watford etc all have to come here in the second half of the season. I did think we started slowly today, but got better. Duffy worried me, he has gone off the boil badly since I last saw him play live. But the space invaders clearly worked. GB's best buy this season

    What a fantastic result and performance today. You've been playing well for a while (namely the Liverpool game) without the results. Sadly good performances count for nothing, if you don't get the results. They don't do a league table for playing well each week, they do - as we all know - a league table showing results. And that's all that counts. Well played the Clarets.

    Yes a battling display ..they pissed all over us for twenty mins then we finally came to life ..
