MATCH THREAD: BARNSLEY v CARDIFF CITY " MATCH THREAD

We give the ball away too much in the wide positions when attacking.

We can pass the ball as much as we want but this whole f*cking about like we are Brazil along the back line with passes from one full back to the other and repeat will cost us at some point again like there first goal. Come on city

Ian,

Possession means nothing I agree

Think we are missing Joel.

Breaks the play up so much better than the rest.

Tanner eventually helps the ball away after the ball pings around the Cardiff box.

We are getting in a mess

All Barnsley

Banks motors his way through midfield before curling a speculative effort high over the bar.

The hosts enjoying a decent spell here.

Barnsley miss an open goal

Should be 2-1 Barnsley, absolute sitter!
Get rubin off and get Joel on

The goal that we gave away to Barnsley has inspired them.
We now look the second best team on the pitch.
Our confidence during the first 20 minutes has currently drained away!

They are tearing our defence


f*cking Barnsley

Defensively shocking yet again

True

We need to score

He’s constantly changing that defence. This is why we conceded so many soft goals.

Should be 2-1 Barnsley

Big let off.

Nearly a carbon copy of Barnsley's first.

O'Keefe down the right. Gets a low cross away that Lawlor fails to cut out.

McGoldrick, unmarked, has to score, but instead fires over the bar.

I don't think Barnsley can keep up this energy all game, especially McGoldrick at his age.

But we need to get back to how we were playing before, shaky ten minutes.

Lawlor booked brought Barnsley player down

They were through again

Can't complain about that yellow for Lawlor.

But if he books him, then he has to book their player for pulling back Kellyman earlier - and didn't.

Barnsley Free kick


Trott saves

Tippy tappy shit then lose the ball again and Barnsley get a free kick, trott makes the save although it was going wide anyway.

Corner Barnsley

We are awful so far

Trott again

I cant wait for half time

H-T 1-1

DREADFUL

We played very well for 25 mins. But since Barnsley scored they have been better and it exposes the slowness of Chambers.

Kellyman playing quite well but in a deeper position behind Rubin Colwill. Would like to see him playing further forward where he would have more impact,(as he has been in recent games). RC seems to float wherever he wants?! I dont think it helps the team.

Scanlon has done well. On the other hand,Willock has been poor and half hearted. (a bit like Robinson when he plays!).Id stick Cian Ashford on for the 2nd half.

Started well but Barnsley caused us issues in that last 10/15 minutes.

Confident we have enough to win still, never going to have it all our own way in an away game.

1-1 probably fair.

I hope we don’t see Willock in the second half.

Perry ng nowhere to be seen for there first goal and mc goldrick wide open but thankfully missed but no perry ng again stay in your right back position

No idea what formation that is?

Rubin and Robertson are almost forwards. I don't think i have seen Robertson take the ball he is so high.

The new kid is a winger

A good half-time talk from BBM now required after a positive start!

McGoldrick really should have put Barnsley ahead!

HALF-TIME SCORE BARNSLEY 1 - 1 CARDIFF CITY (45+1 mins)
