    Very fair words from Ian Evatt on sky just now.

    Not a shred of the usual arrogance and aggression. Humble, and complimentary of the team and Disco.

    Sounds like he’s given his boys a bollocking for their second half showing too.

    Fair play, gone up a notch in my estimation. From a low starting point, but still.

    Thinking the same. Actually seemed like an honest interview.

    Yeah, interesting he said we were good at capitalising on their mistakes, when you look at the gifted goals and penalty we’ve given them over the 2 games

    He was humble and honest, I didn’t disagree with what he had to say at all. I’ll admit that was a surprise.

    I haven't heard it, but yeah that pleasantly surprises me if Evatt has given us credit like that.

    Sign of a good manager that. Having a go at the players for what they did wrong, instead of just being happy at getting through. That's the standard he sets and expects from his players.

    He looked like he made a point of shaking every barnsley players hand. Fair play. They have a bit of an edge (call it sh!thousery if you like) to them but no doubt they are effective and have some players who can play.
