PieEater This game should of been a cert home win if we are to challenge for promotion but from the start you could see that we really weren't at the races.
On a freezing cold day the game had 0-0 written over it from the start. Barnsley had the best chances, hit the bar and the post whereas we had only one real chance all game that bought a good save from the keeper. Otherwise it was pretty bland pointless passing and incredibly shit shooting.
Not sure about the subs, taking off Kelly - our dead ball specialist - to play Grabban in midfield. Popa looked decent but should of been on for Beerens not GMac.
My MOTM was probably Moore who looked like he was trying to win the game single handedly.

Royal Ginger Not generally a fan of Blackett, but fair fcuks today, he made some crucial defensive contributions.

Only one real chance all game?!! Did you spend a lot of the game trying to keep warm in the concourse?
Keeper made great saves from Kermorgant and Beerens. We wasted numerous other great opportunities when well placed. Gunter twice (maybe one was a penalty?) McCleary, Williams (at least twice) etc.

Westwood52 Brrr it was cold.
Typical Championship game; lots of effort but just when some quality was required; both teams came up short.
Until Danny's shot late on we never looked like scoring-despite four times getting close in the box 2nd half-while they nearly scored twice.
Al Habs 5: One horror moment in 1st half-but TBF mainly a statue.
Gunts 7: Got forward more often than of late and twice should have done better in the opposition box.
Obita 6: Had his problems-but always an option going forward.
Moore 6: Had his problems.
Blackett 8 : MOM immense in defence, couple of poor passes.
Evans 6 : Having essentially five at the back didn't help
Williams 6: Best effort on goal;but too often on the back foot.
Kelly 6: Worked hard, but short on inspiration
Beerens 7: Always a threat
Kermit 6: Good and bad
Macca 6: again not at his best
Grabham 6: Why play him as inspiration in midfield, when we had Swift on the bench
Too many lobbed crosses, rather than driven ones & oh the pitch was the worst I have ever seen it at this stage of the season-bring on the heavy roller.
Ref average and inconsistent, but compared to recent weeks wasn't poor.
Still confident of top six

Gunny Fishcake What a load of crap that was, far too deep and the continued passing backwards in our own half is so boring. Teams have sussed us out and just sit back and wait till we balls up and get us on the counter attack . Thankfully Barnsley were as crap as us. We simply don't play like a team that is or was third in the Championship . An afternoon to forget
