Very frustrating today

Yet another frustrating day down at Oakwell and in my opinion Mr Johnson needs to hold his hand up and take the blame here. Yet again we flood the midfield and dominate possession, but yet we lack options and fail to threaten in the final third.
We have a good young group of players. But we lack experience, leadership and direction. And if game plan is not working change it, we need to have a plan B. It seems to me that we are trying to over complicate things. Back to basics please LJ.

Winnall strength is his pace and movement but today he looked static and was isolated as lone striker. He needs support up there. I fear that if LJ persists with lone striker the fans will turn on him as many did Wilson. We have Striking options available but fail to utilise them. Why sign Smith, Jackson and White if we don't play them.

I also cannot understand how Davies is not starting games. Townsend does not fill me with confidence. And could have done better with both goals conceded today. Davies has been superb for us. He had a shaky start to his reds career but then came back and commanded No.1 spot. I hope to see him back in goal for next few games.

Roberts has a great start to Reds career, gets MOTM against Everton, and its reported that we recieved a £1m bid from Birmingham. And hasn't played since? Many saying its him or Naytanga, but I feel you have to play your best XI. And that would include Roberts, in 3-5-2.

Lots of odd decisions, and none that have not paid off!

 

Great post and lots of sensible points
