No, but we’ve been poor connecting in the last third. A bit Lucky not to be down 1 but fairly even match so far

I jinxed it,still shows anybody can beat anybody in this league,just needs a bit of luck with injuries and things and i would say at least 10/12 teams can make a good promotion push.

Poveda (or Dolan as the Barnsley homers like to call him) is an absolute passenger.

[chaddyrovers]

Nil nil half time. 

One brilliant save by Kaminski. A couple of other routine saves. 

Rovers haven't created very little so far. Poveda look slow on the right. One good opening but Brereton's final ball was behind Dolan

As the players went down the tunnel Mowbray was talking to Dolan

He has been poor alright.

Poveda having an awful half. Lacking ability to anticipate the play. Seemingly reacting to the play and passes  instead of moving into space as they’re played. 

Yeah started well, but has wasted so many good positions.

Khadra on for Poveda looks nailed on. Just whether half time or 60 mins.

Other than that okayish half, in play pretty even but Barnsley had much the better chances.

Sky have us lines up with Buckley alongside Travis with Rothwell further forward

At times we were playing 4-3-3 and at times it looked like we dropped into a 4-4-2 (Buckley wide left, Poveda wide right with Dolan and Brereton upfront), but who bloody knows with Mowbray.

Looks like he’s never played before. Second to react and giving the ball away. I’d Khada on for him 

[OldEwoodBlue]

Fairly poor half. Buckley overhit every crossfield pass. Diaz not urgent enough to get onto a couple of balls. Not one shot on goal.

Seems like he should be talking to Poveda instead.

Right now the as it stands table has the top 12 teams separated by 4 points.

[booth]

1 shot in 45 mins - oof.

Though Barnsley look like they have 20 men in defence when Rovers go forward. And they still don't look convincing.

[Exiled in Toronto]

Nondescript half. Travis having his best game for a while and I’m liking Pickering more. Great 1-on-1 save by Kaminski after Lenihan was nutmegged. Rothwell needs to do a lot more for a centre mid given he can’t defend and very rarely scores.

Could go either way.

Get butterworth on lad can finish

We're 6th thanks to Forest second goal

Forest playing very well apparently, Derby very good too, 2-0 up to Stoke.

[BigBar]

Barnsley commentators are diabolical 🤮🤮🤮

Nyambes final ball is ugly

I mean, that one was yeh. He can't really cross well with any consistency, he is better at hitting the byline in the box and cutting it back.

Kills you, buries you and pisses on your corpse at the funeral.
