These refs are so frustrating to watch every week when players run into the back of our players over and over and never get booked.

Right now I’m struggling to work out what Sheehan is actually on the pitch for….

Remember: Barnsley almost always score, but they also almost always concede. Keep at it, whites.
That's the trigger for us not scoring and conceding about 4.
Heh, good old superstition.

Front two. Really not doing well so far. Ball needs to stick with them and it’s simply not.

I’d swap their front two for ours any day of the week

He’s our player of the month and most of our play goes through him. If you can’t figure out why, I suggest the fault isn’t his.

probably something to do with the fact he's a good player. A very good player.

But given he seems to be your current target in the team, don't let that fact get in the way of your aegumwnt

As much as it’s our answer to the press, the hoof ain’t working with our front two. Can we revert and break the press? I guess we’ve tried that in the past here and failed

I mean that we are bypassing him and giving it away in the process. We need to get him on the ball.

Don't think he's been bad.

Suspect Insano won't be happy unless Sheehan's running around like Dempsey or Thomason.

It's astonishing how downbeat it's got after a positive transfer window.

Forever the masters of our own downfall. Losing count at the amount of misplaced passes. Sheehan trying to thread it through the eye of a needle.

It’s not a question of being bad it’s that we are going beyond him and rendering him a passenger which isn’t suiting him or us.

Sadly its nothing to do with the transfer window. We've lost the matches that count lately, losing this one and we're missing our mainstays in the team (Baxter, Charles).

In terms of long term business I think we're still doing good, but in terms of this seasons objectives, we've took quite the hit.

Vic, thus far, doesn’t have the guile to find a man or hold it up against these physical centre-backs. They don’t give the room for two awkward touches.

I think you have to give their midfield credit, they are streets ahead of us. They read everything and press at the right times. It’s only their defence that’s giving us any hope at all.
