Some daft drivel as always with some of them thinking they deserved to tonk us 3 or 4 nil, but our good performance did at least get through to some of them: "This is woeful. We are AT HOME against a tier 3 side." "Rubbish so far. Being outfought and out footballed." "Premier league striker outpaced by league one centre half." "Looking good for a 0-1 which I already have a bet on." "I wonder what are team is worth v theirs and the salary differences ?" "Won’t see a better taken penalty than that. Got out of jail after this performance though" "I think it was cruel on Barnsley" "We weren't at our best, but all respect to Barnsley they put in a good performance and it was an unfortunate way for them to lose." "2 League One sides evenly balanced, and I'm not joking" "Phook me ,we deserved phook all from this game" "Barnsley have the best defence in League 1, so know how to sit back and make it difficult for the other team. Just 18 goals conceded in 25 games. They were never going to just roll over and let us win 3 or 4-0. But we got the job done." "That was absolutely dismal today. Fair do's we were disjointed because of all the changes but to get outfootballed at home to a League 1 outfit is poor however people try and dress it up." "and it wasnt exactly a reserve team we put out. many of them should/could start in the prem. we were outfootballed and lucky to scrape a win. a reply would have seen us exit the comp" "48% possession against a league 1 side at home is disappointing. We moved the ball at an excruciating slow pace. Still, job done thankfully" "Against a league one side I expected us to be a lot better than that." "they were looking the more likely to win it as the game wore on."
Strange one about us knowing how to sit back though. That's the exact opposite to how we play, and why we have the lions share of possession in most games. Credit to Burnley today. We never had a shot on target all game. That's a real rarity.
My old work mate today who’s a die hard Blackburn fan says we should have literally murdered them today. I thought he was being ridiculous and told him it was just a game. He put the phone down on me. Hope he doesn’t quote you for your extension, he seems in a terrible mood
