Whilst a draw was a fair result on the balance of play, another winnable home fixture has passed us by.
Personally, I feared the worst looking down the team sheet before the first whistle was even blown. The same midfield combination and no Jon Macken in the sixteen were the notable causes for concern.
We actually played OK for most of the first half, with Paterson finding plenty of space down the right and Jarvis holding the ball up front. That said, we rarely created a chance in open play and with both sides winning their fair share of corners, it became a story of set pieces.
And it was a set piece which saw us take the lead. Paterson's curling ball found Grigg free at the back post to nod us ahead. Whilst we hadn't looked outstanding at this point, we looked solid enough to build on the lead.
Half time came and in the blink of an eye, we were under the cosh. Whether Abbott gave his side the proverbial rocket at half time, or we decided to sit back, we reverted back to being a side who looked capable of conceding at any minute.
Their goal was as good a free kick as you'll see in League One, but Walker also made two wonder saves to keep us in the game.
For me, Smith got things wrong again tactically. Once again, the combination of Taundry and Chambers in midfield failed to give us any cohesion, and whilst Smith did change things by bringing on Peterlin, he shoe-horned Taundry in at right back at Beevers' expense - despite the latter looking comfortable.
Further to the apparent reluctance to take Taundry out of the side, Smith also now has a player in Martin, who isn't deemed good enough to get ahead of Hurst or Nicholls in the pecking order. That to me is a waste of a loan and a waste of money.
We could have played worse today, just as we should have played much, much better. But another 90 minutes showed that we simply don't have the quality or tactical nous to beat mid table sides at home
