Two days later - A point won or 2 lost

[MFBias]

I was buzzing after the game, it seems most of you were disappointed?

[Happy Arthur]

I felt 4 points was the absolute minimum after 10 games, so I'm pleased with a point after the way it went.

This was initially 2 points lost. However due to injuries to Sakho & McArthur a point a piece looked a reasonable outcome.
However from being 0-2 down at half time you would have said a point apiece would be a good result but the pasting we gave West Ham in the second half it ended up being 2 points lost!

Irrespective of whether you dislike a ‘negative mindset’ the truth is that we didn’t turn up for 45 minutes and blew our chance of 3 points in that period. Conceding the initiative has cost us plenty this season and needs to be eradicated if we are to stay up. So that’s a negative. Yes the fightback was stirring stuff but we only had ourself to blame for having to settle for point against poor opposition.

In the context of the game then of course you are pleased to get a point after being 0-2 down.

However, in the context of our season it was another precious 2 points dropped.

2 points denied West Ham, and that was so much more important than the 1 point we gained.

[GreatGonzo]

Both.

Overall we should have won that game, were the better team, had the better chances etc etc so 2 points lost.

However on 95 minutes we were 2-1 down and staring defeat in the face, so 1 point gained.

[MFBias]

Yes we could consider every game as two/three points lost, but ultimately in injury time at 2-1 we would have all been delighted with a point... which is what happened.

[The EEEAAAGGGLLLEEE!!!]

I see it as a point won. If we can continue as we have over the last three games for the rest of the season ie win, lose, draw, it will see us finish on slightly over 40 points and almost guarantees safety.

Was more than happy on the day, but have a nagging feeling we'll regret this result as the season wears on. We need some wins on the board soon, or the huge task we currently face will begin to look insurmountable. If we ever reached that stage, I fear things may crumble very quickly.

[MFBias]

I would understand if we were two up and gave up in the 97th minute that it could be considered two points lost but it is quite opposite.
