    We were poor today and no player had a good game. So we have to pick ourselves up and go again against Huddersfield.

    I agree with Badger we've been crap for a few weeks now but Reading drew and we've only lost a point so it's not the end of the world. We need to beat Rotherham next Saturday n' take it from there.

    Are you saying that Man City v Chelsea was a worse game of football than Coventry v Barnsley ?

    On any level?

    Why can't we play tiki-taka, and demolish all opponents, on our budget of 37p?

    It's disgraceful.

    Not many teams do overcome teams that outplay, outfight and outthink them...

    There have been 4/5 games where it's been beyond awful to watch, mainly 1st half . That first half as bad as any.

    Teams that have not been able to cope with how we play and seeing our results. chancing over the top breakaways to get behind our defence.

    We are Seeing it more often, now we are at the business end of the season. I'm expecting much of the same against udders and rovrum.

    Too many players off it, think we’ve frozen under the expectation today. Moan all you like, let’s get back to square passing and being patted on the head after yet another defeat.

    The other one who can’t cope with us being contenders will no doubts be along to agree with you soon. That’s if he’s not strolling around some London **** hole heron spotting. Or bemoaning having to come home to Barnsley to look after his ill mother.

    A poster who names himself after one of the worst players to turn out for Barnsley is best ignored

    Most teams in this league have far far better players than we do. They also pay these guys more than we can afford....several factors have contributed to us achieving our points total so far...they have been well documented.
    Today a well organised team, matched our work rate and out manovred us. The one key element here is work rate.....not many have done that thus far....in fact many even change their tactics to play against us. Today cov had the gameplay and matched our work rate...well done them.

    I'm absolutely gutted that we lost today, but we've lost our first away game since 19th January and lost our first away game to a team outside the top 6, since the end of November.

    Move onto the next game, we can come back from this. Val won't allow this performance to happen again, I'm positive

    but we really haven't though SD. Before today only 1 defeat in 16. Smashed all the other records. Just had an off day and lost to a team fighting to stay in the division. They've done to us what we did to Forest and Brentford last season. **** happens, we'll have better performances and results against better teams

    We were just beaten by a better team today. All credit to Coventry. Now is really not the time to start panicking or start questioning how we got into this position. The players have been brilliant all season and they have the chance to quickly pick themselves up in mid week.

    Have you been hibernating for 3 months Badger ? :D:D
    While you've been asleep we've been beating all comers good and bad. Hence 4points clear in the playoffs and records being broken.

    From an enjoyment perspective I was more entertained today watching Coventry act relentless for the first 20 minutes to a level we’ve not seen against us before. Followed by us not quite getting it right but getting decent balls in to the box, pressurising, etc.

    Compare that to the last 30 minutes yesterday where the only excitement was a couple of Chelsea breakaways at pace but then 30/40 minutes of Citeh just playing five yard passes and not creating anything of note or throwing the kitchen sink at it.

    Please note I said enjoyment/entertainment and not quality. Don’t attempt to portray that in a different light.
