Genuinely, Nudge - I find that bizarre. Apart from our inability to hit the target, we've played really well today. The pace with which we sweep forward is a joy to watch. I know it's all about opinions, but I'm genuinely baffled that anyone could deem that first half 'bad' or, even worse, 'abysmal'.
Maybe you should get down oakwell and give stendel a few tips. Not sure how it's shocking only one team in it untill the sending off even then we were still going forward. Pinnock saved us at end granted but not sure how it was shocking as you say.
We aren't playing in this league for the benefit of other teams to roll over and have us win. We've been the better team first half, which for years whenever we've played away has been hard to regularly say.
Our overall play has been good, possession wise it's like a home game. Poor final ball though, as has been the case recently.
I get that but they were poor efforts, I mean when the opposition keeper is making top saves or desperate blocks ect. Some good build up play but nothing to show for it.
I think the commentator said something in the second-half like there can’t be a man in the entire country who would be able to argue that this isn’t an excellent performance from Barnsley Obviously doesn’t know you, Nudge!
