Same old Barnsley, playing awful in a 6 pointer. Will probably beat Stoke & Fulham now. It’s the Barnsley way.
Think Poya has to take the blame, he’s so fking negative,probably scares them to death instead of firing them up before sending them out to play. ‘Caution’ is his middle name!
I don’t see the tactics being any different. That’s my point. We rush to criticise Poya but the players need to be held to account on this one. Simple errors not helping our cause at all.
Six vs. Five in our favour when Derby had the ball then. Bassi finds a Derby shirt and the attack ends. Sums up why moves have broken down or not even started.
Poya didn’t tell Brittain to be awful for the second goal. Or Mads to pass straight to Derby for that chance. That’s a penalty surely?!?! It isn’t and wasn’t.
I think there is a significant shift to a more defensive approach today but I agree the players are completely off it which isn't helping.
Thing is, he wasn’t negative/cautious Against QPR, Hull and Boro and we looked good for most part in all of those games. The players have to take responsibility as well here. To concede in the first minute of the 2nd half today is down to them
I don’t see it personally but it looks that way from how Derby have dominated. The width of their setup has stifled us completely. Combine that with not putting four passes together, having a midfielder walking a tightrope, and we’ve just not stamped any authority on the game.
Brittain's been way off the pace. And very poor defending for their second - looked completely off balance.
I honestly think he bottles it in certain games though, rather than pumping them up he sets them up in a similar way but emphasises caution
Not Blaming Poya too much for this but it’s baffling how the players are so poor Definitely missing Williams but that doesn’t explain why we can’t pass to each other. Only half the team seem awake
