v Barnsley (h) - 29/12/21

Horrible time to concede, such a scrappy goal as well.

Big test for the boys now. Need to get back out in this second half and not let our heads drop.

[A Northern Horde...]

Chance after chance...then that.🙄

[Miker]

We should be 4 or 5 goals up by now but instead find ourselves drawing. Annoying that our clean sheet streak has been broken.

Unlucky from Bucko. Right decision to square it, just not enough on the pass.

Confident he'll make up for it across the game though. 

Or just costs it heavily minutes later. Was criminal.

Totally against the run of play, awful scrappy lucky goal for them.

[Feed the Yak]

It's the taking of chances that influences matches... 

But I reckon we'll win this still. Very impressive first half that could have seen us several up going into half time. Usually I would doubt our chances now, but these lads are made of something else. 

[neophox]

We need to step up big time second half.

Khadra and Brereton need to do better second half and we will win.

 

Buckley and Rothwell has been really good and its just luck  for Barnsley.

 

Should had been 3-0 at half time....

Despite all the quality in our squad I do find Travis a passenger a lot of times, need him to match the quality of the other midfielders

He's been poor this season I have to agree

[Gone to seed]

Got no complaints about that - Football is unpredictable and a professional side will always carve out some kind of chance during a game (except for that shit show against Spurs under the Wanker) and there was an element of fortune about that for Barnsley. 

Really important team talk coming up for the gaffer - no doubt the Tykes will look to hang on and frustrate Rovers now, so we need to find another gear and not let them off the hook - we easily have enough in the tank to do it. 

 

COYB!!

Perhaps a game for Dolan to come on and wreak some havoc?

I feel he's done well today, breaking up play and making good interceptions. I do feel he has lost any of the attacking threat he had when he first broke into the team mind. 

[superniko]

This will be a big test of the teams character. Should be 3-0 and instead we go in 1-1. 
Hopefully we come out flying 

[Feed the Yak]

Lenihan's distribution has been unbelievable. 

[Tugay-is-God]

Lovely ball that from Buckley

Really was

Dolan to come on and make something happen?

[davulsukur]

Lost our way a bit in this second half. Need something to change it up 

[joey_big_nose]

Given how little Barnsley are offering down their left I wonder if we will see Buckley at RWB.

[Ulrich]

5-1 here we come

[Tugay-is-God]

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAS

[yankfan]

Wasted chances in the first half coming back to haunt us… better not lose this

[joey_big_nose]

Brereton cracks me up, never looked like he was in control of the ball but scores a brilliant goal.

[Gone to seed]

Amazing. Lenihan great tenacity and Buckley a great pass to the Chilean on Fire!!

[booth]

f'kin yes!
