Don’t see the big fuss we made over Tyler Walker yet,
We also need far more than what Jamie Allen is bringing to the side
All 7 today, except for Fadz 8, Hamer 8,
Sheaf 6, Allen 6.
We get a point away from home in a new division, and feel disappointed.
Shows how far we've come.
PUSB
Max and Baka for me would of made more of an impact today than walker imIt's funny funny think Baka and Biamou would have done worse. At least as a partnership they work well together. I will take cover. Lol

Not liking what I’ve seen so far from him
We're both being harsh. I think they defended very well tbf.Max and Baka for me would of made more of an impact today than walker im

you are being way too generous.Some ridiculous ratings here, nobody was less than a 5 at the very worst.

I can’t believe how low the rating are from people to today. Think mine are about the highest
Marosi 7 (Didn't have much to do but was assured with the two shots on target)
Dabo 7
Giles 7 (delivery not good today but pace a real asset)
Ostigard 7 (the weakest of the 3 with his passing but strong defensively)
McFadzean 9 (motm. Outstanding with and without the ball)
Hyam 8 (another strong performance. Two well timed blocks)
Hamer 8 (alround strong with some quality passing. Tired towards the end)
Sheaf 6 (looked off the pace which is understandable. Gave the ball away too often but did get better)
O'Hare 7 (busy as usual but not as effective)
Allen 7 (best game so far this season. Kept the ball better than recent and I would have kept him on longer)
Godden 5 (control let him down s few times and didn't look like scoring. If he wasn't going for the record I think he would have come off. Would have liked Baka to come on)
Walker 7
Shipley 6
Agree completely, been banging that drum all pre season.Good to see McFadz getting the recognition he deserves. He was the main reason we were so good at the back last season but people jumped on him for one poor game (at Rotherham) and then suggested he wouldn’t be up to it in the championship.
He will be crucial for us this season.
From the bits I saw, O'Hare worked hard just didn't quite get his decisions right, took too many touches or the wrong choice.Marosi - 6. Made a couple of good saves but I felt his kicking was off at times today.
Dabo - 6. Tried to get forward but often found himself smothered by a Barnsley shirt as soon as he attempted to make a run. Made one half decent cross. Given he's still in the process of coming back to full fitness I think he was probably feeling it today
Ostigard - 6.5 Looked a threat from corners but gave the ball away on a number of occasions either through poor clearances or misdirected headers. His ariel wins flatter to deceive I often find, as he often rarely makes a clean connection. That said I thought he swept up loose ends well and defended fine.
Hyam - 7. Pretty unassuming performance. Much of the same really. Mr consistent.
McFadz - 8.5. I was really impressed by McFadz today. Passed the ball about, defended well and lead the line admirably. Looked good on the ball also. He's not out of place at this level as some initially suggested. Rose will do well to displace him.
Giles - 6.5. Personally think the ratings for Giles are harsh on this thread. IMO he looked good going forward and was one of the few that actually provided any creativity. His crosses were so-so but as I've mentioned in a previous thread I think that was in part down to the lack of bodies in the box and Godden's refusal to make any meaningful runs. A cross is meaningless unless there is someone there to meet it. His pace was a real threat as well.
Hamer - 7.5. Was an absolute terrier and made some really intelligent passes (sometimes too intelligent). 3 games in and I can already see him receiving a significant amount of interest next summer. Quietened during second half though.
Sheaf - 6. He looked pretty rusty in the first 30 mins and made a number of misplaced passes, but all in all I thought he grew into the game and showcased some of what he's good at. E.g. Comfortable on the ball, intercepts well and can spray the ball about.
O'Hare - 6.5 He ran all day and tried his best to make something happen but nothing seemed to come off. I feel he was targeted quite a bit as there seemed to be a Barnsley shirt on top of him as soon as he received the ball. Worked his socks off though as per.
Allen - 6. Made some intelligent runs and looked sprightly but I thought he often found himself isolated. With O'Hare struggling to make things happen at times and nothing really coming off for Godden, it's harsh to blame him for not making much of an impact.
Godden - 5. Poor today. No tactical awareness, movement was non-existant and he looked sluggish on the ball which often led to him losing it. Unsure why he didn't make runs to the near post as it was something that was glaringly obvious after the first half.
Walker - 6. Got up well at times. All I remember him doing really.
Shipley - 6. Not much to write home about,
Got to say, a couple of hairy moments aside Fadz has proved me wrong. I thought he’d get caught out at this level but he’s been excellent. Honestly don’t see how Rose gets in the team right now.

I thought Ostigard's distribution was very poor yesterday. But he looks like a really good defender. It's a nice balance with him and McFadzean being quite aggressive in attacking the ball, and Hyam reading the game well.
Look at you with the fancy O. Show offWhat I like about Østigård is he tries to play forward in a controlled manner more than the others who tend to either go short or very long. Østigård hits the AM and ST to feet more than Fadz or Hyam.
I think everyone’s passing was poor yesterday. Credit to Barnsley.
