    Did Gent just get booked for asking for a card as well after that dive?

    Heart was in my mouth then, thought he'd conned ref. Blatant dive though, glad he got carded.

    Why was Gent giving dissent when the attacker had just been booked for diving? Silly annoying bookings. He'll mistime one of his sliding challenges and get sent off now.

    Yep, I've only seen him miss one. A joy to watch.

    100%. Makes midfield look calmer and more measured.

    Nwakali moves the ball very fast doesn't piss around and lovely ball to o keffe for the goal.

    Watters needs to score he has had chances hope he can get one 2nd half.

    Crawley still in this need to finish the game off.

    we are a considerably better side with him on the pitch, the running he does on and off the ball goes unnoticed by most but for 60/70 mins he runs them ragged and chips in with assists look at phillips goal against Wrexham

    Decent first half. We should have had more. Fair play to Crawley for making it an entertaining match. We need to put it to bed in the second half. Would love Watters to get one.

    When was the last time we tanned someone at Oakwell? Must've been the Port Vale 7-0 at the start of last season? Feel like we might have beaten someone 3-0 soon after but can't recall who.

    Don't get me wrong, I'm fully aware of our home form and would be delighted if it finished 1-0 - but would be the icing on the cake for us to go on and win comfortably for once.

    He doesn’t play that role tbf. He chases everything down and helps create. Can’t fault him currently.

    Apparently he’s also one of the best finishers in the club - just doesn’t seem to get in them positions, as again, the team doesn’t set up for it.

    I'm in the West stand lower and the lino on this side is having a mare, that said its been worth the admission fee to see Nkwali, superb talent at this level.

    we'll get at least one goal in second half from them dicking around at the back

    We need a ‘fox in the box’ striker our strikers are allways too wide or deep,

    Imho...We have done ok and played well in patches.
    Still crying out (as we lnow) for a striker to finish stuff off.
    They are a ot better than when we played them earlier in the season but I still feel we need a proper high press on their back line.
    I can still see them scoring too...so we are going to need another.
    Earl, MDG, Russell and of course Nwakali all played well.

    Picking a goal of the month is very hard at the moment with just about every one we score being an absolute cracker

    "Right lads, let's defend this lead. Eleven men behind the ball..."

    Joking of course but they'd better not start playing defensively.
