Great result.  Thought the entire team played well and we had our chances to win it. 
Thought Swift played really well, especially first half. Second half I thought Grant was excellent.

Keeper has ONE save to make all game and it's a routine save but he costs us.

Was it because of the supposed handball?

There centre half just decided to kick one of ours after the whistle, very very silly.

Fantastic result.

Everyone excellent save for the ever awful Diangana and the shocker of a keeper

First half we played better then 2nd.

But that was a cracking performance, more than matched Burnley on their own turf.

Unlucky not to win it with Johnstone shot.

Diakite was immense tonight. Swift excellent for me too.

Styles and Heggem their usual 7-7.5/10

Expecting more from Armstrong, it will come though

Great point overall

Still a very good point with Coventry and Bristol City losing.

Definitely worth the point. Played well, but especially before the Wildsmith error. We were never quite the same after that, but still could have won it.

Armstrong scuffed a good chance, Price went close and MJ was unlucky hitting the bar.

And Mowbray’s team selection worked out well, though Diangana - yet again - was a passenger.

A very good night’s work overall though, and maintains a nice little unbeaten run.

Bristol got a last minute equaliser unfortunately.

Well we have played all the footballing titans in this division twice each now and us with different managers none of them are really anything but marginally better than us at the very most.

Everyone was decent tonight apart from Wildsmith and Grady for me.

Diakite is another underrated gem for me.  Sign him up longer.

Based on how results went tonight that was a really good point, i just can't help be annoyed at that Wildsmith error because they didn't really look like scoring at all.

I noticed the ball was spinning for the Wildsmith mistake, only just seen on the replay it takes a deflection.

It does but you got to parry or punch it if you can't control it. Poor decision

Totally - there was no excuse for not just catching that.  It was a routine save.

Great point. Expected them to be way better than that or maybe it was our efforts which made them look not so good. Some really great performances. Styles, Diakite, Swift , Grant.

Wildsmith is a huge concern. I fear that Mowbray will stick with him and not want to change it with only 9 games to go and it could well cost us.

Did anyone else notice Molumby trying to get involved in the melee at the end and Mowbray sternly telling him to go away?  ;D ;D

7 defeats in 37 and unbeaten against all the teams above us. We're a tough nut to crack in this division. Would love to see us turn the screw in the run in and convert some of these draws into wins.

Shout out to Swift. V good performance.

He should really have pushed it clear if he couldn’t handle it. He did the worst thing possible.

I was very surprised Mowbray favoured him above Griffiths given the rave reviews from Bristol Rovers.

The one thing I would say, having tried to be a keeper myself, is that mistakes in that position are magnified and costly. Strikers miss chances and defenders miss tackles, but they are often forgiven and forgotten. Armstrong, for example, should have done far better with his chance tonight.

But it was a very bad mistake by Wildsmith and changed the momentum of the game. No way of sugar coating it. A very poor piece of goalkeeping.
