Looks like I'm in the minority on here tonight, l thought we played well, how we went in behind at half time I'll never know. They had 4 shots on target in the first half and 30 odd percent possession, they hit us with a few sucker punches. If we were playing **** and losing I'd be worried but we're doing ok.
Two games we've dominated possession and not won either. We are becoming too slow and predictable with the ball. We started off well but defended like amateurs. Then we compounded it by having both midfielders coming a yard from the centre halves to receive the ball. Then we carry on playing it about at the back until we give a penalty however soft away.
I agree to an extent, but we've been playing ok before and not getting results. We did it under Hill and Flitcroft, decent performances but ultimately losing games. Now I know we're better than that now, we've got a better team, better manager and on the whole our results have been decent enough. But this is a cruel league and playing half decent but not getting the just deserts can see you in trouble so very quickly. We really ened a win soon to get everyone's head up again. I'm not worried yet because I know what this side is capable of. But I will be soon. Re the passing, who knows? Logical thinking may point to the change in coaching staff. I don't mind dominating possession, but it has to be higher up the field. Our emphasis on forward passing and attacking momentum seems to have disapated recently.
We've just played two of the three worse teams I've seen at Oakwell this season and got one point to show for it. Worrying times indeed and be worse still after tomorrow.
