Here’s how some fans reacted:

@Capt_Fishpaste: Think Amad was very good on the ball today. Liability when we are under pressure though. Definitely needs to engage more with the defensive side of the game.

@martin_wigham: Looked so much more threatening in that second half when Simms came on the pitch. Take a point but feel we could have won. Hopefully get Simms in from the start on Wednesday!

@joshmontage656: Second half was much better with Simms back as well

@ste_king1: Excellent second half performance. Should have come away with all three points. Simms made a difference when he came on as did Michut

@OutSide_TheBox2: Sunderland have ticked over nicely without Stewart and Simms considering. A useful point today at Luton. Once they’re back and up and running no doubt #SAFC will move further up the table

@ElliottSAFC: At least this ref was been consistent. He was useless for both sides

@Ian_Crow3: Deserved point. Amad lively, made stuff happen. Such a difference having Simms there, a ST occupying defenders and Mowbray made smart subs who got us going forward. Encouraging fight to come from behind after that chaotic Burnley game. Onto Huddersfield next

@PeterJWhalen7: Decent point away from home. Another point on the board and great to have Ellis Simms back.

@NightwingSAFC: Referees lost total control

@cadburyegginc: Probably the better side. Although not too much in it. Simms gives us a whole different dimension. Hard working, as it has been all season. Point away from home is always good.

@nicholaswilso11: Would have taken a point before the game. Sloppy to concede before half time but second half was much much better, keeps the points ticking over
