There has to be a strong change of approach this half. Hope to hear it, but somehow I think that we're way from being out of the wood. We have tough games to come still, and need a collective development.
Back on now. Chirpy Barnsley camp. Two subs made, we kick off, solly on right, not to yann, but an offside. dervite off for Cort 9booking?), and dale off for Cousins...interesting. Barnsley corner.
All those saying he has to make changes at half time.
Just to be aware the changes on offer are two players dropped for two performances so far, and two kids.
The minimum you should get from the kids though is a bit of bloody enthusiasm.
The midfield is clearly a very weak link, to me it seems obvious that we have to play with a fith man in there at the moment at least until Jacko is fit and the team has a bit of confidence.
Not that bothered who gets pulled off up front but Cousins has to come on to try and help us a) win the ball and b) retain it.
If we get a foothold in the game but no goal them would be the time to throw Sordell and/or Pigott on.
People will think it's a negative move but sometimes you have to go back to the start before you can go forward s again.
We have to grind out a point here somehow.
As I type that Cousins it's on for Stephens and Cort for Dervite. Let's hope Powell knows more than me (highly likely)
"I don't care what happens in the board room, I'm only interested in performances on the pitch"
Like it not the two are linked and we are now seeing the consequences of not refreshing the squad.
Powell wanted and we bid for Quinn and Aluko last summer. We couldn't get either so both went to Hull and Hull went up.
This summer we missed out on Judge.
Still, this games not up yet.

Bit early in the season for 'I told you so' don't you think?
Nope.........I said we would be relegated this season and nothing I have seen or heard over the last 3 games has made me want to change my mind. As a squad we are weaker than last season and we could have easily gone down then. You aren't going to win games if you don't create chances for the strikers or have a shot.
Thats it golfie. Then we turn it around and you can say 'i am glad i was wrong' cop out and people can say 'what a big man you are admitting you were wrong'.
Obviously not at the performance but delighted Cousins is getting this bigger run-out. Based on last week I'm surprised Dervite has come off rather than Morro though.
Cort in, we are 442. calum, but Barnsley come away, solly defends, cousins, solly, looks for church, tykes clear, we get it, but no options. we get no time, Barnsley attack, solly there, cross to far post nowhere, but they come again, we defend and break, cousins to church our throw. their crowd well up.
solly to yann...losses it...barnsley attack through dagnal....cross comes in....bransley keep ball...and they coem again...gower tackles and sends to church....but too long

This is not good!
But you can't stand still in football and you need to back your manager.
Even Powell was warning that we wouldnt do so well this year as he more than anyone realised that.
I still think we have a core of decent players and some good kids. We'll be OK if we can get them all fit.
But the "we finished 9th so TJ is a hero" bullshit will now stop.

We have a throw, wiggy to calum, cross, and now solly, ball out for a Barnsley throw.
Gower needs to up his game as well. very negative footballer.
