Thoughts on the game

A poor Swansea and a ref who didnt keep giving free kicks every time a player fell to the floor plus the number of chances we created should have equalled a win.
I also didnt realise how slight Simoes was. Not sure whether he will cope in the first team tbh.
Feeling slightly underwhelmed if I'm honest but it wasnt a loss.

 

I thought the ref was ok to be honest, seen a lot worse. Disappointed with the chances missed, especially in the first half. Don’t think being slight will affect how Simeon’s copes in the first team, he can sure strike a ball.

 

Thought we played well and overall the better team today
An "A" for effort
Well done reds...nice to have 3 important players back.

 

You've been Mrs positive after some shocking performances and well deserved hidings. We're the better side against a team gunning for promotion, we secure a well deserved draw that, but for some profligate finishing by McGeehan, could easily have been victory, and suddenly you've lost your mojo. What gives?

 

I thought the ref was probably the best we’ve had at Oakwell all season. He was a touch pedantic over the placement of our free kicks but nothing to complain about really.

First half, and in particular the first 20 minutes, were very good and give me some hope that we can at least compete in this league. We just need to start taking our chances.

No win but at least a point against a team that are third in the league. Can’t grumble too much I suppose, particularly as we’ve all done enough of that lately.

 

I hope you're right but if he gets bundled off the ball easily he may not get chance to score. Just an observation as he wasnt on long enough to see really.

 

We’ve had slender players make big impacts before. It will have been a good experience for him today he should be well chomping at the bit for more

 

I think the slow start Swansea had was more down to their coach being stuck in Traffic at Hoyland Common - presume they stayed overnight at Tankersley. Took a good 20 mins to loosen up.

 

Happy to see an improved team performance, with not so many unforced errors. Enjoyed the game overall

 

I take it you are too young to have seen Martin Bullock

 

I was just going to put he same thing !

 

I thought he was the best referee we’ve had for a long time.

 

Yes nothing to do at all how we played.

 

Yes we started well, but you could see they weren’t at the races to start with

 

Mick Butler was Will o the wisp he did ok

 

What about Mido?

 

Should’ve gone to Specsavers

 

Thought we played well but need to be better in both boxes. We'll pick up draws and the occasional win at home, but can't see it being enough unless we can improve...

 

That’s the worry is when we do play half decent it’s still not enough in this league to get us a win . Hope I’m wrong but still expecting a thrashing at the Baggies on Tuesday.

 

It’s rarely been a happy hunting ground for us, and as positive as I try to be, a point would be a fantastic result, but I do fear this result.
