Neverbefore 10,937 Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 Refs been crap but hasn't got any major game changing decisions wrong, so I'd prefer to focus on our performance. We've been really poor going forward again, cant string more than 2 or 3 passes together. We've had by far the better chances from set pieces and from errors in Barnsleys defence and thankfully weve taken one of those opportunities. Barnsley are really poor - as sloppy as weve been, they don't look like troubling our defense at all despite some nice patterns of play. Weve looked solid defensively but I'm not sure how much of that is down to their attacking confidence being shot. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

TeaCider24 12,631 Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 Dijksteel and Fry have been solid at the back. Link to post Share on other sites

Well, football-wise it was a pretty poor half. Neither side looked great, though I will say Barnsley were better on the ball and looked the more dangerous going forward. For all that though, they rarely threatened the Boro goal. Also had a 12th man (in black)... 🙄🤬 taking away any advantages we managed to carve out for ourselves. I will say we need to improve a lot 2nd half, but we deserved the goal purely for all the crap we had to put up with, as well as having Akpom's goal ruled out offside (pending further video analysis).

Smogzilla 7,482 Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 He was just offside on 1st viewing from the west stand. Sluggish first 20 minutes but we grew into that and are deservedly ahead. Hopefully grab another early on next half and seal it. Link to post Share on other sites

Skinemrippers 895 Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 Some positives. McNair is really classy at the back both he and Djiksteel are good at stepping up into midfield. Bola has put a couple of decent crosses in and done okay. Morsy playing well and gives a bit of edge. I’d rather he swap places with Howson though. Fry very good at the back.

Nah, I think he's got 1 or 2 for us already, I remember he scored one at Preston I think, the game we won 3-2 with 2 Ayala goals. Did he score in Monk's last game too? I can remember Shotton scored the winner in a 2-1 but I can't remember who scored the first. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
SA Red 114 Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 Scruffy game. We started to get a grip of things in the last 5 mins and it felt like the goal was coming. Great strike from Tav and Saville did well to get his head on the rebound. Link to post Share on other sites
