Was going to go for Vita as he did little wrong on the left or the right - but despite a relatively quiet overall game I’ve had to go for Quina for the one bit of quality, and probably the five or ten minutes after that
Bassi - never stopped running all night. Subbed for Cole who looked like he was running through treacle. The warning signs were there as Cole did the same last home game v Middlesboro. Cole should have never been near the first team after the Middlesboro game.
I didnt think quinna was great last night apart from one of the best goals ive seen at oakwell in a long time. Collins helik or vita for me.
Yep and for me too. Far too many crosses came into our box last night and he (and Mads) was immense in repelling them. He dominated in the air, stepped in to intercept or get a foot in. After some poor games, he's recovered his form more recently imo.
Mads for me, just ahead of Helik because of the couple of accurate long range cross fields passes that set up attacks. Notable mention for Bassi.
I enjoyed the second half. The first half was drab and I was buying some Pullman coaches on Ebay. However, I found the second half really engrossing. I thought we played as well as we could. That's why it was so gutting to chuck two points away. The lads put a shift in nothing more. Bassi and Quina didn't stop running. Vita looked good and Kitching looked like last seasons Brittain. Lots of huff but no end product. I never knew Brittain was on the pitch. Bigger passenger than Cole. That said, Styles was pushing him close. One thing I'll say about Styles is he grew into the game. Brittain did fc uk all.
I’m surprised at the votes for Quina. Fantastic goal aside thought it was easily his worst performance for us.
Headless Chicken. I thought he was guilty of not releasing the ball quickly enough on a couple of occasions. The one where he was "fouled" he could easily have squared or shot. The one in the first half he could have shot low across the keeper if he'd taken it first time.
Brittain missed stopping the ball from going out right near where I was sat. The frustration was clear to see on his face. Think he's trying too hard and it's just not going for him right now. Hopefully he relaxes a little bit and things start to come off for him again.
Hope you're right but he's got to get a lot tighter when he's defending. Last night he was yards away from the winger, backpedalling into his own box giving himself no chance of even blocking it.
