Oh Quelle Surprise! Barnsley (A) 15:00 Monday 02/01/23

[Mar]

Great play by Dempsey, terrible cross / shot from Bradley. Should be an easy option there to flash that across the box to Charles.

[HMX]

fecking do better. Barnsley heaping on the pressure and we can’t keep hold of it.

[DJBlu]

How can you defend Bradley when he does that? All the space and smashes it over the bar.

Wake up you tits.

[sonicthewhite]

I don't like this scoreline at the minute, I'm off to make a brew.

[DJBlu]

Getting sick of these alternating halves.

They have 10 men thankfully.

[The_Gun]

Ffs, Bolton. We look like we’re the side playing with 10.

Much as I criticise him, I’d be tempted to bring Kachunga on to help retain possession better.

[Mar]

Not always Dempsey's biggest fan but he's been impressive this match and definitely standing out.

Feel like we're getting more than our fair share of referee decisions this match. Feels a bit weird, oddly enough. Bit torn, want a fair game and we're getting more than our fair share. Hopefully one of those matches that balance out of the crap refs we've had.

[sonicthewhite]

Is Jones playing LWB?

[DJBlu]

feck all counter versus this Barnsley attack.

They don't know what to do. God only knows what will happen if we concede.

[Mar]

Benson got a way with a bit of cheating I reckon. High boot from Dempsey and he goes down holding his head like he's been kicked in the face. Cheating git.

[DJBlu]

Is Jones playing LWB?

Yup.

Sadlier on the bench too. Make of that what you will.

[Mar]

Is Jones playing LWB?

Certainly looks like that way. Although his starting position is far higher than i'd expect.

[sonicthewhite]

Is Jones playing LWB?

Yup.

Sadlier on the bench too. Make of that what you will.

I must have been like everyone else thinking that Sads should've come on instead and let us go for the jugular!

[DJBlu]

Literally playing into their hands.

Like for like subs.

[nicholaldo]

Is Jones playing LWB?

Yup.

Sadlier on the bench too. Make of that what you will.

I'm not sure there's much to be read into it.

Sadlier isn't a wing-back. We've just replaced one defender with another.

[Dave Sutton's barnet]

Wow, Baka. That was some footwork.

[DJBlu]

What the feck was that Baka?

Is that the Donaldson step over to give a throw in?

[HMX]

Wow, Baka. That was some footwork.

And Barnsley comms thinking he dived for a pen. Not convinced they have much understanding of football or physics.

DEMPSEYYYYYYYYY 3-0!!!

[DJBlu]

What a fecking goal.

Yes Dempsey.

[Dave Sutton's barnet]

Is Jones playing LWB?

Yup.

Sadlier on the bench too. Make of that what you will.

I'm not sure there's much to be read into it.

Sadlier isn't a wing-back. We've just replaced one defender with another.

Evatt said himself of picking him v Lincoln, Sadlier is there when we want to attack the oppo. If the manager brings on a winger as a wingback and we get murdered down that flank, the gaffer would be called an idiot. I'm sure he'll be lauded if we win... which looks likely now
