No-one on the commentators knows who scored - Caton, Willoughby? But who cares?

FT 2-2. Got away with that. We really need to sort this home form out but fair play for digging in and not losing. 15 unbeaten?

Dreadful performance at home again. Starting to think we should just aim for 7th in the league as at least we’d be away every playoff game. Too many players not at the races today. Another issue which is becoming ever more evident is that we have no width in attack as we don’t play wingers. Fair enough being tight away from home as that is working really well for us but at home we should be playing with more width. Stephenson didn’t exactly set the world alight when he came on but he did provide a bit of width to the attack which helped us out massively

Absolute miracle we got a point there. We need to try something different at home, we're easy to play against

Absolutely awful performance there, after all the talk in the run up about us offering something different at home, we’ve served up the worst display of the season.
Yet - somehow grabbed a point to keep us rolling. Although 4 points from 4 with 3 of them games vs bottom 6 teams isn’t good enough.
Not into singling anyone out as I think everyone was shite in parts today but credit to the lads for coming back, shows we’ve got something about us.
If this is our Christmas / Jan bad patch then we need to snap out of it next game or we’re going to be fighting for 6/7th.

Just papering over the cracks here for me, we should have lost the last three games and were lucky to draw the Telford away. Game was crying out for Stephenson out wide. Effective when he came on, same with Murray. We were getting the ball wider, we were causing them issues. How much we rely on Weeks is alarming too. Lynch offered nothing but bad passes.
We as a team need to get nastier, put in hard tackles.
Rescued a point but I think a loss would have done us better. Unbeaten record gone, start from scratch
Can them little bastards behind the goal stop throwing shite onto the pitch too, that will end up costing us in fines

poor performance strange management decisions, Murray comes on takes most of the free kicks and corners ,so why did he not start if that's his quality, things need to change fast.

A very disjointed performance, I dont know the situation with injuries but I think for the first time callum may just of got his line up tactics ect wrong ,we just didn't look a threat untill the last 10 mins. I'm sure he will learn a lot from that game so let's go again next week

I'm not sure how (other teams' games in hand aside for a sec) we're still 4 points off 1st. As others have said, we just didn't look up for it or show up until very late in the game. Playing both Caton and Dudley with Kurt didn't work, Caton hasn't been as effective since his loan was extended and Dudley has been a bit of a passenger since his run of form earlier this season.
The addition of Stephenson in the 2nd half definitely helped, we were very narrow until then. Was surprised that Thomas didn't come on too. Hopefully we can start to use Stephenson as an impact sub again, he looked sharp. It's scary how much we missed Weeks and Roberts today.

I seen one today thrown at a Curzon player when he was at the by line about to cut back. Our stewards are worse than chocolate teapots. It’s not far off one of our own fans smashing their faces in because we know an opposition player is going to get hit soon and go down. Club needs to clamp down.

Awful performance. Not interested in hearing Cal say how great the squad is again this week and what pluck they had to get us to a draw - I want to hear from him about how he is going to break this run of draws and get us back to winning ways. If we want to win this league/get promoted we need to know how to win without Dec Weeks or Kev Roberts playing. So many anonymous players today. Far too much play with our backs to goal in the final third.

How and why devine never gets a bad thing said about him is beyond me, never passes forward and rarely puts a tackle in, couldn't control ball in first halfstood on it instead and nearly fell over, 2nd half his air shots totally missing the ball had me falling off my seat with laughter, the worst out of a poor team performance today, totally stole a point today, much improvement needed next week or sadly the great crowds we been getting will slowly disappear

Seen it a couple of weeks back when little bastard runs on the pitch and the stewards grabbed him put him back in the stands, then all his tribe are kicking off at the stewards saying he's only a kid etc. Can't win sadly. Personally I think taking them out back and turning the CCTV off is the best methord

I've just watched callums interview didnt realize so many of the players were out injured and with weeks ban that performance can be explained

Game changed when we brought Dudley off and brought Stephenson on. Thought we were far too slow on the ball majority the game
They was there for the taking and it’s games like this we need to be winning.

I did worry Calum might have made a bit of a rod for his own back with those comments. Looks great if it's followed up with a win and a good performance, less so if it's more of the same or worse. Let's put these last few games down as "picking up points on off-days" and start the year playing as we know we can next Saturday.

Not great but to be fair it was noticeable how we were trying to get the ball forward quicker and did have some decent chances I thought. The goals we conceded were poor though and we completely lost our way in the time between going behind and half time.
Not many standout performers, Burke did well to get through the game after being out for so long, Murray was lively when he came on bouncing back from a few poor outings as well. Probably say Morgan was best in my opinion and topped it off with the run and assist for the equaliser. Would really like to see Thomas get more of a chance.

Bern and Jonno had a great home record by overloading teams out wide... wingers both sides, full backs providing an overlap. We've got the players to do it already - Thomas and Coates/Morgan right, Stephenson and Brown left. What's to lose giving it a go?

We can't stretch teams. We also seem reluctant to put the ball "in an area" and gamble until we're chasing the game but we look much more dangerous when we do.

Not sure why Thomas was ever brought to the club, can’t have started more than a couple of games. I can understand the diamond away from home and it’s got us some great results, but at home it’s too easy to defend against. Last season we had Apter come in and give us a new lease of life, we need player of that ilk to come in, someone that wants the ball out wide and run at tired defences.

This was always going to be a difficult game. Curzon have only conceded a few more than ourselves and looked a very organised team. The performance today showed a lack of strong central midfielder and a target man upfront. Not sure if we won an offensive header throughout the 90 minutes. Thought Caron showed plenty of work, I know he’s young but didn’t deliver that final ball. Good to see Stephenson get some game time although no target for a wide man to cross in to. Performance wise we have to improve, you cannot criticise the effort but there has to be more creativity within the set up. We are lucky to still be in the playoff places but if we don’t start to get a few wins then we will be playing catch up.

Lack of width in the new 'brave' formation. But no surprise that both goals were ultimately scored from crosses. Wake up Cal and use wide players at home. Surely Stevo and=or Thomas must start in these sort of games.
I reckon that was the worst performance of the season. Relieved to get a point.

Missing some players today and it showed. First half we were awful. Midfield diamond totally innefective. Burke looked lost, Dudley lacked effort,Lynch just ran into trouble and Devine didn’t look interested. Pushed the fullbacks up first 15 minutes but no joy. Second half we were a bit livelier through Murray and Stevenson. But we are kidding ourselves about playoffs because we lack basic skills of trapping the ball and passing accurately at pace. So many unforced errors whilst receiving the ball and passing it- Curzon were bang average but at least did more of the basics right. The manager might have plans and systems but the players we have are unable to deliver. Caton up front- young lad but not good enough for this league. Don’t like the 3 front men 30 yards apart either. Get two in the middle and some width to deliver the ball. Nice unbeaten record but we need more- the manager has got a good spirit in the squad but needs more quality to go further - get rid of some of the deadwood.

Every single game them little dickheads throw stuff on and at their players. I seen one today thrown at a Curzon player when he was at the by line about to cut back. Our stewards are worse than chocolate teapots. It’s not far off one of our own fans smashing their faces in because we know an opposition player is going to get hit soon and go down. Club needs to clamp down. Seen it a couple of weeks back when little bastard runs on the pitch and the stewards grabbed him put him back in the stands, then all his tribe are kicking off at the stewards saying he's only a kid etc. Can't win sadly. Personally I think taking them out back and turning the CCTV off is the best methord So stupid gets threw stuff at the lino when he was checking the nets just before the second half. Bizarre behaviour.
