Ipswich v Barnsley match day thread

We're off.

 

Today's positives imho.
Collins played very well...2 top saves...one very late on.
Williams...only place he can play...and did well.
Anderson...take a bow.
Connell..no pace but good application and choice of pass.
Thomas....proved me wrong and and important player. Picks the ball up...runs at teams...and tracks back
Finally a good second half performance "battling barnsley" never so apt.
Hope for same next week.

 

I'm not saying this because of his goal, as I have stated it earlier, but I don't think Styles has been anywhere near as bad this season, as many on here seem to think. Opinions, eh!

 

Happy with a point in the fact we’ll hopefully take confidence from it and get something at Hillsborough.
Early season prediction is first two spots will go to Ipswich , Fowls, Pompey or Peterborough imo , can’t see Derby taking one tbh .
So if we can get to play offs who Knows it’s anybody a in those , long shot and some ways to go but if we do ok in Transfer windows it’s possible .
One or two players need to step up in performance and confidence ,
Oduor offers nothing to our team imo .

 

He was good today , but the criticism about him was justified.
He should be stand out in this league, he as shown today against the top of the league team He can compete.

 

Imho (I like styles) but up to his goal...I thought his body language was shocking.
Fair play though...well done him.

 

Both there goals came down our left for the first goal there player just strolled by him but a great header for his goal.

 

Styles has/is taking some unfair stick in my view.He was the best player on the pitch at Derby,played well against Cheltenham and Bristol Rovers.He's a young lad still finding his potential.Unfortunately for us he'll find it at a bigger club than Barnsley.

 

I agree with this.

Just because he got picked for Hungary , many consider him to have morphed into something he is not.

He is not a central midfield player.

Back where he belongs, he has looked OK.

He is probably championship pedigree wide left side. He has played like the Styles we know the last few games. But doesn't have the same nous around him as before. Nor has he the same organisation, yet.

 

I'm always shocked when Collins gets stick, he makes the odd mistake, but so does Alisson & Ederson. Kept us in it today, especially at the end - fantastic saves.

On a side note, and I'd hate saying this about an opposition player because I hate time wasting, but he really really really wastes time quite excellently!

 

Defence needs a lot of work after letting in eight goals in a week. We'd have taken a point there today but we need to start winning away.

 

I'm pleased with us battling back twice against the league leaders. Were we incapable of getting ourselves back into games, then some folk would complain. It seems, at times, there are people who will always find something to belly ache over, steadfastly refusing to acknowledge anything positive.
'Twas ever thus.

 

They can moan, i am way more happy than pissed off about todays performance and result.

 

Well done Barnsley F C, great result, just what we needed, great turnout and well done to the fans who braved the journey, and cost's, C,O,Y,R,

 

Same ? I want MORE ! lol.

 

We were crap against Wycombe once they'd scored. 0-3 eventually.

You expect us to concede 2 goals when we play Ipswich away? Expect? Is that your assessment of the team and your coach?

8 goals conceded in 3 games and you think that's hyberbole?

Give DB3 a break. He's wrong most of the time. Not this time.

 

Collins put to bed any question of who should be in the nets. The team did pretty well I thought as a whole though our forwards still don’t offer enough threat. But let’s celebrate a good point

 

That's a lot of away draws.
