Fair play to Rooney for making the changes at half time, a great second half performance.

I can’t understand why it took another 45 mins like that to actually realise we don’t work with Bird and Shinnie sitting deep though.

Also hopeful now that Sibley will get his chance to start which he more than deserves. Right now we need players who can create something out of nothing and he is one of them.

If CKR is injured and Gregory not allowed to play on Saturday, who is up top? Please not Waghorn!!!

Brilliant point..brilliant 2nd half..reading some on here we have the worst team and worst manager in our history apparently..

Give the players credit.. give the manager credit..who knows maybe he gave them the full hairdryer at HT (even though he doesn't need one) and they came out 2nd half to prove their worth..

Whatever.. we were a joy to watch 2nd half..long may it continue..

Well what a turnaround in performance that was. 3 at the back made us look so much more solid (should never have changed it after a cleansheet and Millwall creating nothing against it), Mengi's pace helps massively and means our wing backs can attack more and offer width, also meaning with can give our forward(s) more support. Also, how much more vocal were we 2nd half, both the players & the bench.

Much better from Sibley, not just because of his goal but he turned and ran at them rather than easy lay offs backwards or sideways, although playing centrally suits him so much more. Like how Roberts played a clever ball inside for the goal rather than the simple pass out wide to Byrne.

Such a big point considering the results for Coventry & Rotherham tonight.

Only concern is CKR may miss Sat and Gregory isnt eligible to play.

Play like we did 1st half we will be in trouble, play like we didnt 2nd half we will be fine.

I am so, so delighted we elected to hire a manager with 0 experience alongside half the management team that got us to the bottom of the league.

Seriously, what a great idea that was. 

You were saying that was an awful idea just before we won 5 on the trot with Bielik in midfield. You've managed to stay quiet long enough until half-time of a game we came back and drew 2-2 in.

5 game drawing streak?

I don't think we can say if its crap its Rooneys fault, if its good its mac to be praised. let Rooney have both the criticism and the praise.

First half they could have had 4, we were so bad and both goals from bad defensive mistakes.

Second half, change of system, change of players, greater tempo.

Dunno mate,to go from one style of football to another and have a complete attitude change in the same match doesn't happen that often.....it does ring a bell.

Brentford can count themselves lucky to be going home with a point.

We absolutely gave them a shoeing second half. 5 more minutes and they'd have caved in. Too many 'top' sides in this division built on sand. No substance to them. 

In fairness we can count ourselves lucky that we were only two down at half time. Should have been dead and buried by then!
