Barnsley at home match day thread

First half thoughts

A very disappointing half overall.

Opening 10 minutes -  both teams were scrappy especially us being unable to string much together going forward. 0n 12 minutes a counter from us which only leads to a corner when AW cross is too easily cut out. TB had a decent shot on 15 minutes after good work from HNM.

Referee not giving many decisions, preferring to let play carry on at every opportunity.

A second corner for us on 17 minutes, as we start to grow into the game, however, like our first corner there was no real threat. Good through ball from HNM which Wells was just unable to get onto.

After 20 minutes neither keeper has needed to make a save. We look reasonably composed at the back. Their central defenders have won everything in the air.

Williams has Barnsley's best chance so far on 23 minutes his shot is saved by DB which led to their first corner.

We are far too easily exposed on 27 minutes following a quick Barnsley throw in and they score.

When, on a couple of occasions, we’ve managed to get into a promising position around their box our decision-making has been poor. Epitomised by AW on 33 minutes when he played a shocking ball when in with a decent chance to set something up.

DB makes another save on 38 minutes and we still haven’t forced a save from their keeper. CP sits up a nice cross which NW fails to get on the end of.

The final five minutes became very open NW was just offside on 40 minutes when well placed. Then on 42 minutes after TK won yet another header and made a good pass NW flicked it to AW who finished well. On the cusp of HT MJ had a good shot saved. THEN IN ADDED TIME AW SLOTS A 2nd following great work from HNW.

However, the score does not take away from a lack lustre half.

HNM, TK and glimpses from TB have been the the better of our players IMO.

Big second half performance needed and the next goal will be crucial.

For a few mins there we looked really good, unfortunately for the other 41 mins we looked like Bristol City. 

It was exactly that. We've played for 4mins here, scored 2 and could have been 3. Barnsley very poor and game for the taking...

Can we build on those 4 mins second half?

Half time summary:

Sod the first 5 minutes @VT05763, its all about the last 5 minutes of the first half! ???

Disjointed first 45....the diamond hasn't worked without the ball, but with the ball, a bit more quality and we rip them apart, their highline unable to cope.

Bloody Andi Weimann - anonymous as a no10 at times watching the bypass him...but you could argue he's there for those goal moments.

The diamond exposed by WBs for Barnsley.  Tanner got to go out wide, and let Kalas have to go man2man, or else its too easy.  Not so bad on other side, and when Pring goes to Britton early they don't have the same joy.

Huge bonus to go in ahead, although I think we took a bit of time to get it sussed.

Fingers crossed second half.

We’ve all doubted them, but that’s a good response. So easy for it to have gone the other way. Really hope this doesn’t come back to bite me on the arse?
 

A difference between this team and LJ's is they do seem to keep fighting better.

At least until second half injury time. ?

Wondering if those fans that left when Barnsley scored wished they hadn't......

 

We can't sit back......need another (possibly 2) to be sure. 

That last 7 mins will raise confidence in the dressing room. 

Just need to get the ball on the floor, do the simple things well and tear them to pieces.  #restarttheseason

Agreed. Controversial I know but I'd be tempted to cash in on Bents to fund some new players . I know that he's saved us many times but I feel that would be balanced by bringing in some quality at the other end of the pitch that would offset the points that he's won and dare I say it, give us some more enjoyable football to watch. We also have a very capable replacement. 

These two goals were good but against a shit defending from Barnsley. If we keep beating the worst teams in the table we will be safe. But even if we win today, with the way our team plays is not a way that really make you sure about our faith. I hope we will be ok this season but for me other ambitions than staying into this league won't come this year.

The board is still trying to create a team and this will take some time. As long as we stay up, bring some players every season we may create a strong group but now we are far from that, and the subs are again.. very inexperienced.

 

Coyr ! Bring us a win finally at home.

Just play football.

Its read easy ?

They aren’t very good.

Agree, Barnsley look utterly hapless defensively. Opportunity to build some confidence, hopefully NP demanding we push on and sure the players will want to, given our one goal lead performances season to date. Some of our (often terrible) play is down to ability, but sure a fair bit is down to confidence. This is a big opportunity to take a step forward.

In their defence, what we were watching was flat out dog shit

Terrible for 38 mins but two goals mask it. Happy days I guess! Barnsley are awful 

Too many of our players not at the races again 

we had moments in those 38 mins....far too easy to say we were terrible.  It was a scrappy game, two teams lacking in confidence.
