The goals as it looked to me from the highlights

1. Keeper made a complete mess of it but likewise Stones completely left his man allowing him to tap in. Wiseman also stood aimlessly wandering around the 6 yard box marking nobody.

2.Etuhu? and Dawson totally failed to close down Bridge. Presumably Etuhu should have been making at least an half hearted attempt to stand within 50 yards of him in the first place? Keeper made no attempt to save it despite having 6 hours between the ball being kicked and it going in the back of the net. Wiseman had failed to mark his man too, if the keeper had parried it out or it came off the post he had allowed their player an easy tap in. terrible marking

3. Totally failed to mark the winger allowing him to put an easy ball across. 4 Barnsley players in and around the 18 yard box and yet they were able to score. Foster got the wrong side of the player and was unable to put the tackle in. Wiseman for the third goal in a row was in a world of his own, 6 yards away from the nearest player. The ref gets closer to players than this guy does.

4. Stones showed his inexperience and lack of strength by failing to put a challenge in allowing the ball to be put across. foster forgot what marking was and allowed a free header and Wiseman, though closer to a player this time, forgot that he's supposed to stop the ball and allowed it to go inches past his body.

5. Cywka backing off allowed their player to put an untroubled inch perfect pass through to the winder who had acres of space because Hassell had (wrongly in my opinion) moved over to cover when it became obvious that Cywka wasn't going to bother tackling. Should have stayed closer to his own man instead of trying to bail the midfielders out. 3 barnsley defenders in the box and not one even attempted to stop the ball or put a challenge in. Again the keeper didn't move. Wiseman presumably has a low immune system causing him to try to avoid any kind of physical contact with other human beings just in case he catches something.

 

Wiseman has now been at fault 3 of the last 8 goals shipped, add to that he was a fault for the 1st Rochdale goal either, yet every week he gets to start. Yesterday we had on the bench 3 capable Central defenders in Cranie, Hassell and Collins yet what baffles me he gets picked. Also vs Rochdale we had 2 capable natural Lb on the bench with Goldbourne and Collins. What does Wiseman do to get picked??? I think he isn't cut out to defend at this level.

Cut our losses time

Just looks like a good team taking on a poor team to me. And the good team ripping the poor team to pieces.

 

Having read that I am left thinking of this:



On the Bridge goal, I think the shot went past a defenders foot (or 2) didn't it (could be wrong, only seen them once)? The keeper was probably expecting it to be dealt with so was very late even thinking about reacting, probably couldn't believe it hadn't been stopped. I am in no way defending the keeper like, he does look bobbins, but so do our 2 CB's.

 

Dawson stood and gawped at Bridge.

 

Not like him, often looks a red card liability.

 

Which three? On the flipside i'd blame Gonzalez for at least four of the goals we've conceeded this week and would go as far as to say Preece wouldn't have let them in. This week he's conceeded three goals in his own six yard box and a tame long range effort.
