From the Yorkshire Post, pretty much echoing thoughts expressed on here Wretched was a fair word to describe Barnsley, in truth. A side who give you a chance at the back and are one-paced and predictable in midfield - currently without the goals of Adam Phillips to help them along - and ponderous in attack, Barnsley have problems. On the evidence of Saturday, it was they who looked like a team who had lost seven of their previous eight matches and were struggling with confidence and form issues and not Huddersfield. The Reds’ previous few games weren’t much better either. Darrell Clarke muttered the same things about his side afterwards; loose, sloppy, no attacking flow. He is nowhere nearer to knowing his best 11 and is still searching for answers. After this latest instalment, he will be scrambling around all over the place. He is also equally conscious of starting to repeat himself.
My Huddersfield supporting mate said the same really. “Not what you’d expect from a Barnsley team” said he, but tbf, we rarely show up there. Our record there is very poor.
