A good point today no doubt, but once more we have seen our efforts all but go to waste. Typical of this league a good away performance has seen us drop a league place or two, sometimes playing in this league is like running through treacle, we seem to be playing to our optimum, getting results, but making little or no headway. Not a reflection of the team but the league.
What i have noticed about this team is that although we are similar to what we were under Hignett, Sweeney seems to be getting that little bit extra or adding that little bit extra, marginal gains
Under Hignett we had a decent amount of possession but we didn't know what to do with it, under Hignett we were quick on the break but when we got into vital areas we didn't know what to do.
Under Sweeney we are more positive when we break and we counter more quickly and with more conviction, we're more penetrative when we do counter. Yes we conceded two today but that was against a top seven side with the best goal difference in this league.
Sweeney's Pools might be Darrell Clarke's Bristol Rovers, who knows!!
If it's not broke, don't fix it.
