I don’t think it’s that there are players not putting in the effort, to me it looks like the team selections seem to always have a little curve ball in there and consequently there is part of the cog in the gameplay that is missing, ie gaps in positioning or understanding where a team mate is, or should have been, or where a pass will be directed to. That could quickly be identified and fixed but MA just seems reluctant to change anything in the first half. Second half sometimes sees things turned around but not necessarily for the full 45 minutes, depending upon what further changes are made as the game goes on.blackpool72 said:Regardless of the result the very least I expect each game is that the players put in a decent shift and play like it matters.
Unfortunately half the time some of our players play as if they are only putting in the minimum effort required.
This pisses me off enormously, Unfortunately I can't see it changing with some of the dross we have at the moment.
The January transfer window can't come soon enough.1 -
This lot, with a couple of obvious exceptions don't give a shit.
3-1 May scores for us.0 -
A must win but will lose. I believe this with every fibre of my being, and will abandon reading the football related threads on here for a while when we do. 3-0 to the Tykes!soapy_jones said:This lot, with a couple of obvious exceptions don't give a shit.

In the unlikely event that we should win, I'll eat a large helping of humble pie, or have a few mince pies. I'm not fussy.0 -
Hate playing at Oakwell, I never feel confident1
-
This is when we typically get a 0-1 away win to surprise us, right?1

Going with 3-1 too. Putting my money on btts0

1-5 to Charlton. Hector hat trick from a hat trick of corners.4

2 wins in our last 10 league games at Oakwell. 28 years ago today - Robinson and Newton 2-1
and the 6-0 win back in April 20132 -
I see what you're saying and I don't disagree, at the same time, you will have noticed that we have 30-40 minute spells where the players up their aggression, attitude and their amount of running and show we can take control of games. But in the other halves and periods, that desire drops off dramatically. I think it's lacking players who hate losing and will bust a guy all 90 minutes, and a lack of bravery to get on the ball.letthegoodtimesroll said:

Cant see how we can win this,bearing in mind we will have to score at least 3.0

The 6-0 was a good day, we were queueing up at the end, we could have had more.shirty5 said:2 wins in our last 10 league games at Oakwell. 28 years ago today - Robinson and Newton 2-1

Expecting a 3-0 reverse...and May to get injured. All this talk of beating Ralph Allen's record, no chance IMO. Other players not bothering as now waiting to see who still has a first team slot after January's major transfer window action (we hope...). Happy Xmas all!1

Thank God Rylah is out, poor kid was nowhere near0

2-2 and we throw away the 2-1 lead making it feel like a loss. Here and it is sunny and 13c. Seen one women just wearing her leggings and a crop top - hard as nails 🥴1

Surely Kanu had earned his start after the impact he made last week. Why recall him from loan only to bring an ineffective loanee back from the dead to play in his place?0
-
How he keeps picking Fraser the Fraud over Louie Watson is baffling. Fraser is toilet, yet Apples keeps picking him. Utterly bizarre2
-
Why does Fraser keep getting put back next to Dobson. He can’t play that role, it never works but we keep doing it0

We’ve not won a league game with Fraser in that role? Why do we keep trying something that obviously doesn’t work. We’ve won plenty with Watson there. I’d play them all together but Watson definitely shouldn’t be the one missing out0

With the 19 game worry about 5 yellow card suspension gone, hoping for the players on 4 yellows to step up0

Indeed, just the crap nickname like many others given to our players and staffOff_it said:2 -
Agreed. If players are pulling out of tackles or changing their game to avoid a one match ban, then they shouldn’t be on the pitch.shirty5 said:

I agree, May is a different type of player, just enjoys playing, although some of his first yellow cards were for silly reasonsshirty5 said:
