Well done the boys. Thought it was going to go on forever.
A better performance with just one point to show for it.
Three on Saturday will be okay for us as long as we can keep 11 on the pitch.

Woeful.
Cannot look at that as a good point.

I actually disagree with that it’s not a good point. On Saturday it was woeful but considering Duane has managed to put us in trouble for seemingly no reason, it was probably a good point tonight

Could have been 3-0 at halftime but as usual we cannot score.
Only chance of the second half was the pen.
We actually played better with Duane off the pitch.
Olly sat on the bench for 90 mins is a crime, he’s the only player with some flair we have and he’s being massively wasted under Pennock.

Cheers Duane.

Absolute waste of a signing
Blokes a complete liability and his best days were clearly behind him so why sign him?!
Because we have nobody at the club who knows anything about modern day recruitment. We're relying on Pennock who has been out of the country for a number of years and Burman is probably still involved which says it all.

A draw against the mighty Potters Bar is considered a good result nowadays.

We're 3 points off relegation in the Isthmian league for christ sake. Give your heads a wobble. Yes Duane has let us down but it doesnt change the fact we are where we are in the league. We've slipped up too many times already

If I was in charge I'd be seriously considering terminating DOA's contact after a second sending off

He should be gone, total waste of space.

He could have really injured the number five the way he left his foot in, the guy was down for 5 minutes for treatment.

First booking was stupid the second he should have known better!

Also, our only goal was a penalty.
No open play goal, again.

Potters Bar another very mediocre team who only came into the game after DOA’s ridiculous lunge by the corner flag. Positives tonight were that we put way more passes together than Saturday as well as creating a few good chances in the first half, but why can’t we hit the target? The keeper made one good save with his foot just before half time, but other than that it was collecting crosses and palming out corners. No real graft for him tonight. He did get fingertips to Carruthers’ penalty, but fair play to Samir for keeping his composure with a decent spot kick having not had a particularly good game up to that point.

So fail to win on Saturday and it will be 11 (eleven) weeks without a league win. Extraordinary.

Strange feeling tonight as it's another game i've left feeling disappointed but this time for a different reason, because we haven't won.
Much the better side first half, got in to some good positions and created five clear cut chances but failed to take one, really frustrating.
Second half the game turned on it's head with Duane's second needless yellow card, both cards were totally unnecessary and at the time we all feared how the game would turn out. However we deservedly got ourselves in front with Samir's penalty but then Potters Bar put us under some pressure and got the equaliser. The lads as always worked hard and we steadied things up and came away with a point but in reality, were it not for the needless red card it was a game we all felt we would have won.

An improved performance from Saturday which in all honesty was not going to be hard, but this was better and in isolation a decent enough performance. But we still need additions imo as we are still short in certain positions.

I though Tyler did well when he came on and was composed and good in possession, something which i feel we have been missing.
MOTM between Callum and Michael for me, but went for Michael as he showed a "competitive" edge to his game when needed.

As for Duane, he's only got himself to blame and I'm not sure where he goes form here?

Can't see the point in having Yussuf if we don't know if he'll be available or not, absolutely pointless imo especially as we have Olly and Eddie who along with Callum are decent options.
