Anyone still think Davey is the man for the job?

That was fooking shocking.

Worst performance I've seen in a long time.

 

Nearly as bad as Cardiff at home nt

 

time to go /poo

 

At least he made substitutions early enough to make a difference this time. nt

 

Yes he is

Shocking? we played well in patches, bad ref, not getting the rub of the green, star player had a mare - how the **** is that the managers fault you slack lovely person?

 

Yes, if the job is to get us relegated. nt

 

Heh heh. You had me for a minute there. nt

 

bad referee I agree

How he let Muller stay on the pitch after he took out their striker who was through on goal is beyond me. Some might say that he was going away from goal but he was taking evasive action to get around a reckless dive at his feet. last man, no keeper between him and the goal. red card.

 

he did what he always does

we're behind so he puts three strikers on. it's worked once in two years that I can remember.

 

I've seen players sent off for that

but

1. The attacker pushed the ball away from goal first and a defender was getting back.
2. The only contact from the keepr was the attacker catching Muller's arm as he jumped over him, it wasn't a clear cut bringing down of the player.

I thought the ref got it right there.

However, look at the attack we had just proior to that when header straight at their keeper.....clear push n teh back of our forward.

 

it was souza that was taken out by their player in the box, and later on fossie was manhandles to the ground, straight in front of the useless ref who gave them the free kick!!!!!!!!!
even the commentators said it should have been the other way, but we were pretty usless and overun in midfield, how many times have we seen that in the last couple of years??????

 

foster wasnt manhandled to the ground

BOTH players were pulling and pushing each other and foster pulled their player on top of him while he was pushing him down it wasn't a foul in either direction as both players were at fault.

More specifically, it wasn't a foul because the pulling and pushing started before the free kick was taken and was shown on sky at the time but the commentators missed it until the replay.

 

the defender was getting back but he wasn't back and whether the player was on the floor when he was he was brought down by the last man or whether he was jumping when the last man brought him down is irrelevant, he was still taken down by the last player and denied an obvious goalscoring opportunity (no keeper and no defenders in front of him) so it was a red.

At the other end we still got a shot off, shame our ***** strikers don't know how to hit the net.

 

2 wins from 11 Davey Out before its too late.... nt

 

We were lucky.

The ref bottled making a big decision in front of the cameras. "Getting back" doesn't count as "back" - the striker still had two yards on our last man, and regardless of the type of contact, there was definite contact. He may have pushed the ball slightly away from goal but it was minimal - it's not as though he was heading towards the corner flag or anything. A couple of strides he'd have caught up with the ball and knocked it in with yards to spare. Luckily he made the most of the contact, and that may have helped our cause, but it was a definite sending off.

 

Selective hearing there mate.

The commentators said that it was almost impossible to decide who was manhandling who so couldn't see how the ref came to such a clear cut decision, but I can't remember anyone saying it was a foul on Foster.

 

I don't remember the Hume incident so can't comment on that sorry, but the Foster one was definetly not a penalty, the sky replay's showed that both players were equally to blame, as did the live feed that showed fosters arms around the defender and the defenders arms around foster before the freekick was taken.

 

Sorry but although it would have been a harsh penalty there player was the agressor and to blame nt

 

I've though for some time that what Barnsley needs is a few years of stability with the same manager and after initial reservations about sacking Richie thought Davey was the man, particularly in light of last seasons cup heroics.

BUT Yesterday's performance was a shocker and Davey's team selection and tactics left much to be desired.

1. The midfield he picked don't have a decent tackle between them. They were all over the place and even when we had the ball promptly gave it back to Palace. Anderson looked as if he didn't give a monkey's, Deveney and Leon are just not good enough, JCR the only one worth his place.

2. The "Front 2" were really a front one with Hume doing all the work. Whats the point of having a strike pair that you punt the ball up to, (straight over your "ball playing midfield"), and the five foot one goes for the headers and the bigger man looks to run through? Hume was trying to win headers against 2 six footers FFS! Please send Rigters back, I'd rather see one of our academy lads given a go and I can't see where Macken or Odejayi would have been any worse.

3. The organisation at set pieces, particularly when we had a corner was appalling, we were in more danger of giving a goal away when we had a corner than when they did!

I reckon Davey's got one game to save his job.....COME ON YOU REDS!!
