Yep, thought Philogene was gonna create havoc early on but had nullified him almost completely by the end of the gameThought McCann was brilliant today followed closely by Storey who had his best game for years.

Storey was outstanding for me, as were all the players today.
Loving this more positive style that were seeing now and we could, just could be in with a shout come the end of the season.
Hull were a very good side and do deserve to be up there but I bet they wont have many tougher games than today.

Draw probably the right result but could have snatched it but was vital we didn't lose.
Playing better football & can't knock the effort, still in with a shout.
Thought Ali was excellent today, with mentions to Browne & Lindsay.

Definitely poor on the ball but thought he was immense in defence. Read virtually everythingWho gave out MOTM today? Lindsay? He kept passing the ball back to them. Thought he was really poor on the ball.
McCann, absolutely immense. Best I’ve seen him in ages.
Think we need a result midweek with Hull having Brum.

Meh. Putting us in difficult positions because he keeps booting the ball back to the opposition is an issue for me.
There were many points where he was defending issues he had created!
I thought that was a good game and a thoroughly decent performance.
Both sides had their chances but I don't think either were likely to win it so a point a piece is a very fair result.
Defence was excellent and McCann outstanding.
What I've seen over the past month or so has been far, far better than what I witnessed previously.

Was a must not lose game for sure.
Need to be winning v likes of Stoke and Rotherham at Deepdale to take play off fight to final day.
Look at all the bottom teams winning now (bar Rotherham) so no one in the play off race will have an easy game v a bottom eight team in the run in so will be even more random results than usual at championship level.
Just need to get to 70 points with still a game or two left and see what happens....

Holmes for Mads though, Lowe does like to hook him. They're chalk and cheese footballers HC. I saw it as settling, which I found disappointing as I believe in keeping our best players on the pitch, it gives us more chance of winning games.Mads has been superb of late, he wasn't today. Wasn't having a bad game by any means, but the change made sense, didn't cost us and could have paid off. Safety tactics?? There was only one team looking to win the match in the closing stages.
Got me lucky necklace on, so 3 points is ours.
I'm willing to pay your match ticket and bus fare on Wednesday night to Southampton (get home at 5:00am on Thursday) 😉

I didn't say he had parked the bus, more so settling for the draw.It was a tricky situation for Lowe. If we'd lost we'd have been 6 points behind 6th. He didn't park the bus though.

What happened so lots near end of halfThey've now kicked him out, finally.
Hull came for a point and got it, their playing it out from the back tactic confused me tohugh, you could see early on it was putting them under pressure, shame we couldnt take advantage of it.
Not seen a replay but looked a blatant pen in the 2nd half, but other than that, we could still be playing now and it would still be 0-0

Would of taken a point today but felt we prob should of won. Ref as always in this league is a joke another clean sheet which is obviously decent and Saints will be difficult but think we could get something. Least we didn't lose to another side near us.

Pleased that we kept the front three quiet, Storey fared well against Philogene apart from a little spell.
I feel like we could have gone for it a bit more with the press on goal kicks, suicide football from them.
Credit to the manager for the positive play and turning some people's opinions around, like him or not he's now doing a good job.
Nice to see us in the ascendency for the majority of the second half for once, just no way through, Greaves for them was excellent, Coyle is decent too.

He was superb today.McCann all day for me should have been MOM.
Not many negatives to pull from that. Very enjoyable game of football
A clear MOM.
From what I saw of the clip before it was taken down, he was mocking disabled fans/disability.What happened so lots near end of half
Thankfully it seems the authorities saw the clip and took action eventually.
