Done well to hold on. Dont like the time wasting so early on. Think Duff would have made changes earlier than he did if he trusted his bench. Cant wait for a couple of injured players to return
That wasn't a four bookings to nill match. Not when Oxford were chasing the game for the vast majority of it. Dunno where eight minutes came from and he found another two on top of that.
Great win but that last 20 mi it’s was an absolute disgrace. We’re playing Oxford United ffs, I don’t expect to be shithouse time wasting against them.
I don't like trying to see the game out near the corner flag when there's 8 minutes (which was actually over 10 minutes) added by the dodgy referee.
I'm all for punishing time wasting etc, but I think 10 minutes were added on there. Thankfully they weren't good enough to take advantage of it.
Whilst I'm happy with the 3 points and first 70 minutes. It would have served us right had they equalised. I hate the kicking of the ball away, feigning of injury, and total wasting of time. 10 minutes we tried to play in the corner flag It's ****. I hate it when other teams do it, and hate it more when we do it
Good player though Elliott Moore. Been banging on about him for years https://barnsleyfc.org.uk/threads/jack-tucker-gillingham-defender.286447/#post-2399055 https://barnsleyfc.org.uk/threads/oxford-v-wycombe.292997/page-3#post-2505432 https://barnsleyfc.org.uk/threads/summer-transfers.313410/#post-2935823
Me too mate. But there lies the problem, other teams do it constantly, especially in this league, and get away with absolute murder. The benefit far outweighs the negatives. Hate it but I'd rather us do it than not if other teams do it. Fairs fair....
Seems to be a common thread, world beaters for the first 15 minutes then awful for the remainder. Yes we got the two goals but we were dreadful. Our passing to feet vanished and we were over reliant on our defenders seeing us through. BUT I will take the three points, no prob.
Then why is he still playing for a team barely half-way up the league? It was a unchallenged free header, fair play he scored, but hardly a worldie
I think wer getting a name for it now and ref's have us down as a time wasting /shithousing side. see loads of kicking ball away etc in all games but he had his card ready and shown the minit we did it..can't afford suspensions for this..time to cut it out.
If you’re happy with that last 20 mins then I’d say you’re on the wrong forum, go and watch Athersley Rec if you think that’s acceptable.
The scale of shithousery was awful. With the way the game was going, we wouldn't have won without it. I'm not sure I'm overly comfortable winning in that manner. Overall we deserved the win, but the way we've seen it out has left a bit of a bitter taste.
My problem is not necessarily the 4 bookings we received, but a lack of bookings on their side. That 2 handed shove on Watters near the end for example was a yellow card all day, but nothing from the ref
Completely missed the point. It was the 'teams like Oxford' part of your post that I disagreed with. Very Wednesday.
Wow we made that hard work . How many times did they just kick it over our entire defence for a one on one . Collins was a disaster waiting to happen tonight . Massive improvement required for satuday . But we got the 3 points and that’s all that matters .
