    Barnsley now down our left, and the cross drifts out for a goal kick. This has the feeling of a long old day.

    Couple.of easy forward passes from Barnsley and two players can take their time to think of a cross. Cross in and thankfully too long. 

    We really can't seem to press or close down at all. Anywhere on the pitch.

    Barnsley down our right, cross into our area but there's no-one there for them so McG collects easily.

    CBT down the left beats his man but JRS is beaten in the air before he can get to the cross.

    Corner… but we don’t score from those 
  • That passage of play just there fees like it was the first time we’ve passed it past a teams press in a long time.

    Long ball from Dobbo to Egbo, who can't beat his man but forces a corner. Morgan to take.

    Well over from Clare but more threatening than most of our set pieces

    Corner short to Fraser, comes to JRS across the edge of the box to Clare, but he spoons over.

  • Clare has had his long shot worldie for the season 
  • A Golfie on the cards perhaps....?
    Please consign that self-promoting expression to the dustbin. It's well past its sell-by-date.
  • Egbo looks good.

    We need to be a bit sharper, we started well until that goal.

    That’s an unbelievable goal ffs
    Funny what happens when you shoot  
    Is the implication here that we don’t shoot? Because we’ve had the 6th most shots in the league so far.
    Perhaps I should have caveated that the shots need to be on target. Morgan the main culprit. CBT not far behind with wasted chances.

    Erk, we pass it around across the back, and get pressed, but win the throw.

    A match thread is probably not the best place for it but re: closing down pot shots from outside the box

    Interesting that Stockley’s tried running in behind about 3 times already. More than he has all season?

    McConnell tries to send the ball forward to CBT but misjudges it and it goes out for a Barnsley goal kick.
  • Absolutely useless. Second to every ball and trapped in our own half apart from punts forward. Can see a big loss here today.

    Egbo looks good.
    Yeah really like the look of him. Strong in possession and gets forward well. He's our only overlapping fullback (apart from Clayden I guess) so it's very important for him to provide width so that JRS can cut inside. 

    Good run there.

    Stockley chest controls the ball, and tries to play JRS forward unsuccessfully but the ref brings it back for a free kick.

    Morgan and Fraser just not in it…
    would like to see Clare and Dobson in midfield when sessegnon is back properly

    Egbo down the right, but his cross evades everyone and away.

    I will do when we start winning games after conceding first. 

    And btw, I didnt coin the phrase. I simply pointed out the fact we hardly ever do. It's about 1 in 60 games now.

    Now CBT down the left, but Barnsley get plenty of men around him and pick the ball off.

    I got my stats muddled. It’s shots on target where we’re 6th.


  • Feel like we’re looking like the better team at the moment. 

    Need to bloody score though.

    I hate to say it again but;

    "Got a horrible feeling we'll be torn a new one as they say.

    Can't seen anything but a loss by at least 2 goals."

    CBT has seen a lot of the ball but has wasted it
