Straight down the tunnel, O'Connell on in his place.
Should make the back line interesting. I suspect there'll be a proper plan and structure for the second half given there are only seconds left of the first.
I like that Holden had a word with Miles as they were heading off the pitch. Put his arm around him. They've clearly set out to wind Miles up. And so far it's worked pretty well.
Not that I give a shit but Barnsley will be wondering how they're losing at half time. Midfield really hasn't got a grip with Dobbo having a rare off day. Hoping we improve 2nd half
Don’t mind the shape change. Not sure Holden would’ve done it otherwise, but we needed to change something proactively because Barnsley have had much the better of it despite us leading.
One free header missed and the bar struck twice by them, as well as other dangerous balls into our box and some good saves from AMB. They should have scored at least a couple.
Campbell has a big job on at left wing back now. It didn’t go well last time he played there.
Lucky to get in at 1-0. But unlucky that we've lost our two best fullbacks to injury in the last feckin hour.
Great goal from Campbell, but he's still very raw, and it seems like one in three touches is productive. I wouldn't be surprised if he's sacrificed at halftime for a tactical switch to maybe bring on CBT who has played LWB.
I know that Payne and Fraser playing together isn't ideal, but it should be noted that they combine to win the ball; back at the halfway line, and then Payne plays in Campbell for the goal.
These are the kind of games we'd be losing 1-2 earlier this season.
Ali Maxwell remains unbeaten in how excellent his punditry is.
Thought we were second best to be honest. Losing the midfield battle, and so open in the final third because of it.
Was going to suggest either taking Payne off for Morgan if we wanted to stick 4-3-3, or bring on O’Connell for Campbell and stick JRE up top and go 3-5-2.
Been forced into the latter because we get no luck as a club with injuries.
At least we have a lead to defend, which is going to be some effort second half.
Typical bully team, pushing and shoving but breathe on them and they claim blue murder. Leaburn needs to be careful as he's being closely watched and getting fouled every time. One reaction and this ref will brandish red I think.
Good battling half despite that. Lucky to not be losing as they are quite good!
If we don't run out of steam we have a chance but a reverse golfie looks on the cards to me sadly..
It would be helpful to have the specialist left back in,🤞🤞 with some decent cover that will ensure that players can be eased in / back. Hopefully, with sufficient cover, this will help avoid all these injuries we seem to pick up🤞🤞
I had to throw my phone away from me when I saw Kane get injured. So frustrating. As he walked off he looked to have had a lump on his hamstring, potential hamstring strain, could be a few days, couple of weeks, couple of months depending on the severity.

And Terry, Egbo played on a little bit and walked off and we know how that went.
Campbell @ LWB though is an opportunity for Barnsley to target us second half though
Well done from Holden, just to walk with him for a moment
The three you mention are in decent company

shame kane went off, but hopefully the lad from Blackburn is coming in soon! Avoid chin at all costs!
Bonne for JRS second half and go at them
Unbelievable.

Lucky HT lead, and with Campbell at left wing back, we'll be even more vulnerable down the left

COYA!
Kane had a good debut. So blooming typical that he got injured.
And Ness impressing once again.
