    My thoughts exactly - we’re devoid of any energy and confidence to have a go - scared of our own shadow

    I’d consider bringing Jalo on at half time to try some direct running at them…

    *sigh*

    I think we can count ourselves fortunate to only be one down.

    Just so pedestrian and flat. So little energy so little movement.

    Flavell, Roberts and Humphrey’s the brightest but good grief, our play is so painfully slow and lacking in anything resembling a Barnsley team.

    I can at least see some structure to us but I think it’s suicide advancing centre halves so high.

    Is Hourihane being told he’s got to play a back 5? This is now the 6th coach to play this formation.

    McCarthy couldn’t get a game at Swindon last year but now he’s a regular for us. It’s ******* mind numbing.

    A very Darrell like performance. Need to change it up in the second half Conor. Can see Bland getting replaced as he's not really in the game.

    Safe to say Hourihane is firmly now out of the running.

    If some folk thought these players had no idea under Clarke, no words for this.

    Reckon Hourihane would maybe benefit from working with an experienced manager and develop his career that way.

    This team though have forgotten how to win a match end of story or the will to show they want it.

    Do any of these players other than the academy lads care? Utterly downed tools since losing at Charlton 4 weeks ago.

    Exactly. The ref has been woeful but booking mdg was his easiest decision all night.

    Miscontrolled it (shock horror), gave the throw away then laid on the ball to stop them taking it quickly. Petulant, stupid, yellow card all day.

    Yes the ref has let them get away with two near identical challenges to Nwakali’s and looked really inconsistent because of it but this incident was one he got right.

    How much is a season ticket again. I'm very tempted.

    Turned it off. And I NEVER turn it off. Utterly disgraceful. Team has given up, fans have given up, I. Just. Give. Up.

    I mean yes, he obviously is. They all are. Which wouldn't be so much of a problem if we signed players to fit.

    I always come with a little bit of hope
    Looking around at the empty seats plenty of our fans knew what to expect
    Dread to think what these season ticket renewal numbers will be.
