putting the political wind up's to one side so the angry kids can calm down, for a team chasing automatic promotion with the quality in your squad you were well, shite.

First half, Earnis movement was immense he pulled our defence about all over the place cuasing loads of problems, second half it just stopped.
Grandad upfront should have taken at least one 1 on 1 before we scored though. You are in dire need of a left back that was glaringly obvious, the majority of our attacks came down your left hand side.
Boyd, i didnt realise he played, shame really as he is a player from what i've seen and been told is going onwards and upwards. offered nothing creatively.
Majewski, whom i'd read good thing's about on here offered a few decent touches but haircut apart I think we kept him quiet.
Game changed when you brought blackstock and tyson on and we took boggy off.

I've seen this season WBA, Newcastle, Cardiff, Boro, NFFC amongst others this season and to be brutally honest, your team is years behind specially in the midfield comapred to WBA and newcastle specifically.
You missed the leadership of mckenna

Can't really argue to much - every team we've played away in the last 2 months must've thought 'how the **** are these up there?'

disagree about Raddy who had 2 long rangers that came close, set up the goal, and set up Ade with an amazing through ball -hardly say that was keeping him quiet.

Upright Man

An upright man signifies the chief or principal of a crew. The vilest, stoutest rogue in the pack is generally chosen to this post, and has the sole right to the first night’s lodging with the dells, who afterwards are used in common among the whole fraternity. He carries a short truncheon in his hand, which he calls his filchman, and has a larger share than ordinary in whatsoever is gotten in the society. He often travels in company with thirty or forty males and females, abram men, and others, over whom he presides arbitrarily. Sometimes the women and children who are unable to travel, or fatigued, are by turns carried in panniers by an ass, or two, or by some poor jades procured for that purpose.

Definition taken from The 1811 Dictionary of the Vulgar Tongue, originally by Francis Grose. or a s we call it today Google.

Other than that can't argue to much with your (upright man's) assessment of our promotion creditials. Had we played a few months ago it might have been very different but we have seriously gone off the boil since the end of Jan. Having said that are you really surprised that we disappointed? - we have just lost 7 away (league and cup) games on the bounce - hardly a form team.

We're on a poor run, and were largely below par (as we have been for a while).

We've beaten Newcastle and West Brom this season when we were playing well.

And we do miss McKenna, badly.

Yes, i expected better. Barnsley this season are so inconosistant its scary. We got mullered by plymouth chucked a point out V s****horpe then did cardiff over. Been the story of the season.
And given the fact you have three players who always seem to get a goal against us gave me even more of a concern.
But instances a side, there just wasn't any decent service to the front men goal aside.
And my neck hurts. Some very direct football.

Yeah, we did resort to lumping it far too easily. Lack of confidence in playing it.

Plus credit to Barnsley they closed down fast when we attempted to play.

The f***ing ref though, what a twat.

McKenna had gone off the boil before his injury, but he is 32 so it was unreasonable to expect him to maintain the same high level of performance week in, week out. That's why we need a bigger squad, so we are not dependant on players being fit.

The concerning thing is there in no real leader outside of Camp who is limited in what he can do in goal.

I'm not surprised. Free goalkicks, a disallowed goal when you fish-handed keeper dropped the ball.... it was a veritable official bonanza for you!

To be fair, the ref blew before he'd dropped the ball. How you still had 11 men on the pitch was a wonder.
Ask Hume what he got booked for!

Yeah, I pointed out elsewhere he booked your lad for running into his teammate.

It was you who said you liked the ref!

You'll have to enlighten me as to any red card offences as I don't recall any...

Who was it that persistently infringed on free kicks?

We had a player sent off for that a while back.

We expected better too. Yes we miss Kenno, and yes we need a left back and yes dele shouldve scored.
But hey ho, couple of wins and we should be certain of a play-off place. Where we could meet yourselves. Oh........:nowink:

I see what you mean, the captain in goal is not a great option.
I didn't misunderstand you.

when there was the handbags in the first half one of your players threw a sly punch and got a booking for it which should be red. few heavy tackles that normally get a booking but didnt get blown up for.
thought the linesmen were worse.

How he gave a goal kick when your defender headed it out with earnie stood 2 yards away I'll never know. There was definately no foul on your keeper either.

I was being sarcastic.
How some of the offsides were given as well i can only guess at. The disallowed goal was one of those. Some you get some you dont, seen them go both ways.
In the ref's defence he blew early.
