Alas poor Yor(i)k, I knew it well. Home v Barnsley, Sat Feb 3rd, 3-0' clock.

[DJBlu]

Been a good first half. Plenty of battling, match them physically which has usually been our achilles heel. Just a moment of poor defending early on has done us in.

Going to say that despite our play up top they've had one shot on target. 3 offsides though.

Keep at em Bolton. Dion and Victor need a rocket up their arses or taken to another part of the pitch in training as they aren't on the same planet at the minute.

73% possession, 7 corners and nowt to show for it

[BWFC_Insane]

That’s a flatter to deceive performance if ever I’ve seen one. Barnsley completely comfortable. We had the lions share of the ball and not troubled their keeper once. They have scored and had the only other chance of the game and will feel they should be two up.

The problems I see are…back three a bit shaky as you might expect. Sheehan being absolutely beasted by their midfield and for me a liability first half. Our front two doing their best impression of pub footballers.

If you play a front two they’ve got to be much better than this. And yes they are working hard but when they get the ball it’s painful. Charles horribly out of form and Victor looking like bringing the ball within twenty yards after even two touches would be an accomplishment.

There are good things. Wing backs, Dempsey looking good. Maghoma at times looks like he might offer an answer but too often tries too much. Taylor looks imposing and calm on the ball.

I don’t know what the answer is right now because tactically we’ve been fine - weakness is that when a team is able to target Sheehan we need an answer and right now not sure what that is. And clearly hard with two strikers who are stinking the place out.

Terrible schoolboy ball watching error by Maghoma who lost his man for the goal. His defending has been his weakness and its not improving. Struggling to create a chance despite dominating the ball. Taylor is a good player, his pinpoint passing into the midfield is a joy. Demps control and aggression in midfield is doing the job. Barnsley targeting Sheehan. Charles need replacing in the 2nd half. Hope he makes me eat my words by scoring early. Ashworth needs to show more attack down the left. Everything we do is coming down the right. Looking forward to some attacking changes after 15 mins if we dont score.

[officer_dibble]

I’d be swapping Cogley out at half time. Give the new lad time to influence it.

Corners back to being an opportunity for us to give them possession - we’ve not scored off one for ages.

Really? I thought Cogley played well.

[jmjhb]

All our best play has come down the right, if anything I'd look to get Ogbeta on

They're not targeting Sheehan fairly. It's not 50/50 tackles they're getting the benefit of the doubt, Sheehan's winning most of those. They're just going through the back of him, in front if the ref.

[Spartan2]

If we were 1-0 up people would be praising a good performance. They scored we didn't, were still miles better than they are, but you can't win every game the best teams in the world still lose. I'd be concerned if we were crap but we're not. Santos out injured and Dion out of form we were always going to struggle. Victor does boils my piss though.

[jmjhb]

We're really struggling to defend these long throws

[Mar]

Cogley's playing well, we've been behind on the right quite a lot just need to make the right pass. They've got our tactic down to a tee and are defending our open play quite well without too much concern. Set pieces its been a different story, we should've scored and that seems to be the best way we can get a goal at the moment.

We've got plenty to do. We should be winning games at home like this one, but its Barnsley, so that's been our usual pain.

There's a reason they're targeting Sheehan. If he was a liability, they wouldn't be taking him out. Thought Sheehan had been our best midfielder in that half.

[jmjhb]

Why are we playing for corners if we can't get it past the first fecking man?

..that was better but should have got it on target

[Mar]

Iredale should've scored again.

I'd quite like us to swap Dion and Vic's positioning on those corners, clearly Barnsley aren't great at defending the corners so lets get someone who should be good at heading it to be on the end of it.

[jmjhb]

Pies 2-0 against Peterborough, a turn-up for the books!

[sonicthewhite]

Kettle's boiled. It better work or we might need a new one.

[officer_dibble]

Get Charles off FFS

[DJBlu]

Charles loses possession again in a no need way that leads to us being put under pressure.

L Posh 0-2 Wigan

Need to mind our own shop tho

[jmjhb]

Was that a shot that went out for a throw-in?
