Happy with that so far. Just wish Cole and Norwood would get a bit more involved considering how much we've got in and round their box.
Our 2 strikers definitely our weakness tonight. Both been poor so far. Be good to see the new lads get a chance if they don’t improve after half time.
Hes been really poor of late, unfortunately. I agree with you I can see him losing his spot for a while soon
Cole looks lost as usual. No impact, no muscle, no competing for balls, his only chance was a simple lift over the keeper and he fluffed it
Our defence still looking very vulnerable to the ball over the top , we need the ball to stick upfront more although the pitch ain’t the best and Cole offering nothing again.
Centre half, on loan from Burnley. Was announced with the team news against Charlton when we unexpectedly named him as a substitute. Been on loan at Bristol Rovers. Joey Barton basically thinks he's ****. Set up Norwood's overhead kick against Accrington. That's his Barnsley career pre this evening.
Surely, SURELY Duff can see what we can all see. That pathetic effort to get on the end of a great ball by Cole just summed him up. Ok, he's scored a few goals for us but his head's not in the right place or something. Not enough confidence to go in where there is a 50/50 chance of beating the keeper to it and scoring an easy tap in. I really want to see what these two new strikers can do.
Good performance so far. Our momentum was killed by the injury stoppages, but we've made the breakthrough which is the main thing. Think I'd look at getting Shaw on for the last half hour. Someone with a bit of height and pace up front to try and stop the ball coming back.
Cole looks like a tall, awkward,uncoordinated teenager trying to control a penny floater on the beach. Strange player. Sometimes looks ok and some of his finishing is very good. Yet he currently looks like someone who has never played football before.
Imho deserve to be in front...they look dangerous in bits. However we look great until we get it to the front two! Cole out of sorts at the minute...Norwood limited. That said we are set up well and really should be further in front. I'd like to see the new strikers around 60 mins and the midfielder with 15 to go. Well played overall.
Yeah, on the few occasions they’ve got forward a couple of times they’ve managed to find space in and around the box. I think if we can get the ball to stick up front for longer we can get more here
Was on a season long loan at Bristol Rovers. We pinched him and Barton made out they wanted shut of him anyway even though he was a first team regular. Since he's joined us Bristol Rovers have let in five goals in a game and he's scored for us.
