What I don't understand about yesterday

That's the one Kev.
Curtis.
Oh yes.

 

If we're talking last minute capitulations then being 3 nil up at home to Ipswich and drawing was pretty special!

 

Had there been another couple of minutes in that game, we'd have lost it. Never seen a side go in t'neck like we did that day.

 

What about being 3-0 at home to Exeter losing 4-3 ,2-0 up at Bradford P A and losing 7-2.

 

I thought they tried their best and did the right things but were just absolutely **** at football.

 

Never top that. We were absolutely cruising in that.

Similar against the same club in 2011, when we were 2-0 up at half time then got done 5-3.

Proper Barnsley.

 

Keith Brown. The personification of evil.

 

Tried to head it back to Kevin Miller but he mis timed it and it ran straight into the path of Bent.

 

It's a Keith thing.

 

Thank goodness, then, that we haven't had that many Keiths playing for, or managing, us.

 

There was no reason to go gung ho or safety first. Just play the game that had worked second half. The worst thing you can do in football is over complicate things. What we ended up doing was half the team playing a safety first style & the forwards & wingers going for it. There was no reason to change things. Maybe an experienced head or two out there would've helped it's hard to say but there's a real trend of us losing the plot when playing against 10 men

 

It was probably the wrong decision, wasn't it. Well, it was definitely the wrong decision, in hindsight. I suspect the management and players might have learned from that mistake.

But it's time to get behind them. Massive week ahead.

 

It's not as though trying to score a third is the same as going gung ho and throwing bodies forward to leave ourselves exposed at the back. All we needed to do was actually try and test the keeper, play our football in their half and threaten rather than pass it round our back four and hold it in the corner when we did get it forward. With 15 minutes to go! We could have done that and stayed solid, left the full backs back etc.

It's alright saying going for a goal to make it secure would have left us open. But we did try to see the game out and nadsed it up anyway. Very different to the Sheffield United situation. We were at home against a relegated team who have conceded 100 goals, with 10 men and a 5 foot nowt forward in goal.

It can still come down to goal difference and it was the best opportunity we'd had all year to try and increase our tally. Very very naive in my opinion, just hope we don't pay for it and Hecky can lift the lads.

 

You should ask my son!

I am a moaner, I know it but I can't change it. Wait till you've watched em for over 50 years and see what it does to you lol

 

Obviously we dont learn,
Chesterfield was almost a carbon copy although they did look as though they wanted to come out of their half.
