The midfield seems to be incapable of stringing passes together. keep giving the ball away. referee penalising perfect tackles doesn't help
We looked good until we scored, then I think we’ve been very complacent and have finally been punished. Probably doesn’t help that Oakwell has been like a morgue, even when we scored. Oh, and another atrocious ref that has given Plymouth everything he can. Some perplexing decisions, such as booking Dougall for pushing a Plymouth player out of why when trying to take a free kick, but not booking either of the Plymouth players who kicked the ball away and then still preceded to stop us trying to take a quick free kick. MOTM was Pinnilos before he went off, and I have no idea why it took us 5 minutes to get a replacement on. Had Dougall not been playing left back he’d have got a tackle in. Moncur on for Adebayejo for me, who has done absolutely nothing.
Ridiculous as usual from us, when in these sort of games against so called poor teams who we should be expected to beat, we just dont do it and dont look like we care most of the time either. How many times have we gifted a team their first win of the season, or their first win of some sorts for a long time etc. ?
I thought their striker seemed to do everything right, apart from the obvious - score. There's acres of space on Plymouth's left-hand side. We need to get Cavare' running and crossing on that side second half I think. Potts in midfield may help to redress the midfield issues we are having. Still think we can win this.
There is absolutely nothing more Barnsley than us losing at home to a side on a horrific run and with most of their first team missing. It's what we do.
He might read it, but he might not also understand a singe word of it lol. But I hope he does, and I hope he can do something about this, our disgusting attitude over the years in these sort of matches. Look we're not the only team to do this are we, but its still an absolute disgrace every time we do it. A poor team have made a massive long journey up to our place tonight, and they are low on confidence and without a win etc. And what do we do, we gift them the chance of winning even though we have taken the lead against them.
