Hell of an improvement! Changed tactics slightly, moved rose out wide away from the centre half who had owned him the first half. Still struggled to impose his self on the game but won a few headers. Heart of a lion presence of tigger. Needs to get some roids in him and bulk up. Diggers had a cameo of about 30 minutes where he looked useful otherwise he was very anonymous. Jennings goal was a banana which did the keeper. Equaliser came from rose bottling an arial challenge. Scotland's goal came from a first time Jennings ball square some twinkle toed magic before placing it in the corner. Leeds second came from the left back getting done cracking ball in and a free header. The third for Leeds from a corner right through the box to the back post for a tap in. The third for barnsley from a Jennings free kick keeper parried and tangs put it in. The winner came from RNLs best bit of the game cracking free kick. Overall barnsley were very lucky to win. More composure in the final third and Leeds would have been out of sight. In extra time alone barnsley keeper made up teem saves. Player ratings? Goal keeper... Shot stopping good, distribution fairly decent, handling and control of his box a bit iffy. Left back... Caught out time and time again. Right back... Not as bad as the left back but still got caught out. Bobby... Leeds had a pace merchant up front who no body got close to, bobby got exposed more than once having to cover the right back. However, as a centre half he was fairly solid. Tangs... Rusty for sixty minutes but grew into the game. Very vocal. RNL.. Hot and cold constantly drifted in and out oft he game Jennings.. Seemed to lack confidence initially but after a solo run in the first half his pecker was up. The overwhelming majority of the good things barnsley did came through him. Diggers... Anonymous first half, what he did do was poor, seemed very lethargic like he had spent all day ont nest. Perked up second half then faded again. The number 8 .. Unit. Always wanted the ball. Very rare he lost it. Looked to get on the front foot and attacked, tracked back. Faded second half. Scotland... Sunday league player until he gets within sight oft he goal then he always looks like scoring or creating a scoring opportunity for someone else. Rose... Piss poor first half. Better second out wide and his shadow on the bench. Still not impressed. Coffee ... More of a presence than rose. Excellent first touch however, didn't do much of note. The replacement for rose and for the unit were both tidy players but no trees were uprooted.
He impressed me, especially going forward. I thought Nyatanga was poor, first half especially. Jennings was the star in the second half. RNL did flit in and out but when on the ball he was quality. Thought he and DJ linked well. Agree on Jason. Looked toss until he got it in the danger areas. Rose, I agree, hit and miss. The number 8 put himself about but looked very raw, gave so much room and ball away. Digby was anonymous for most of it. Hassell I thought was poor. Keeper did oreight in general. Patterson was decent. Cofie has great technique. If I've forgot anyone, tough ****. My view was from my front room watching a **** stream. So feel free to ignore it. You Reds etc.
I'd have thought Dagnall would've played with him not getting in the squad at the minute? Can see him being loaned out.
