People will be pissed at this result and lash out at individuals but we've played well enough. Bit of a freak result and just one of those days where, as a manager, you dust yourself off, put the result behind you and focus on the positives, of which there were many.

94th minute penalty how is gyokeres taking that. I’d have had him about 5th in line

 

[CanadianCCFC]

Barnsley more likely to go down than finish in the playoffs again

 

[Skybluefaz]

@Barnsley embarrassing

I'm sure he's really bothered

 

[jordan210]

Not sure what was worse. How shite our pen or the awful cheating by Barnsley.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Waghorn to take them all please. Gyo shouldn't be allowed one all season after that

 

[djr8369]

Watched on ifollow. There’s some frustrating “streetwise” teams there but Barnsley are an utter disgrace. Horrible team. Work hard in the press though

 

[stupot07]

Why sounds like a spectacular save

It was a poor pen. The keeper went the right way.

And given we can't fucking score against them where do we go?

Still better. Lucky fuckers had 1 chance. They’re shit and will have half the team out all season.

I hope we break a couple of bones at the CBS

 

[shmmeee]

Absolutely disgraceful performance from Barnsley there. Diving, cheating, time wasting. Scored with their only chance really.

 

[Perryccfc]

Unlucky boys. Brilliant performance, fight, passion and overall the much better team. Play like that all season and we will be fine. PUSB

 

[Johnnythespider]

Bollocks, how many bookings was it in the end, you have to take your chances, i love O'Hare but he has to start converting some of the chances he gets.

 

[COV]

It is, but we're the ones that have been chasing the game. We've dominated the second half yet mustered just 1 shot on target.

oh I agree- we didn’t have what it takes to score, they didn’t even look like they wanted to score but they still had the nous to keep us out, we weren’t good enough and that’s the bottom line.

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

'Deserved more'

We still lost. We have to do better. Squad looks so thin too. Not so many options.

 

[skyblu3sk]

Most blatant dirty bastards we have played in ages basically taking it in turns to professional foul. Good luck if that's all you have this year.

 

[no_loyalty]

Can’t believe we didn’t get anything from that, no idea why Waghorn didn’t take that pen, fucking criminal.

Shocking decision. Really really poor

It’s massively disappointing to lose this, but last season we were saying how galling it was to not even look like we were competing. We were the better team by a country mile today. Outdone by Barnsley being shithouses and using every dirty trick in the book. That’s not the football I want to see, and I’m glad we don’t play like that.

We’ll be fine this season if we play like that every week.

It's that same curse of just not taking chances then giving away an awful goal.

 

[Jamesimus]

Not going to whinge about the lads based on that. Sounded like we really turned up second half.

Nice to hear Barnsley stay true to their anti-football asthetic.

Confidence probably

 

[SkyblueTexan]

Waghorn or Godden are the only ones who should be allowed to take PKs.

 

[Hobo]

Unlucky City heads up go again.
You won't play a bunch of cheating bastards every week.

I don't mind the yellows and the general shithousery is part of the game but the 2 or 3 players that were rolling around pretending they'd been elbowed in the face were disgraceful.

 

[stupot07]

Bunch of shithouses. We simply aren't good enough in the final third.

I know what you’re getting at but when you prioritise your attack and yet still fail to convert in a game like that against that opposition, it’s not a good sign.

no panic but that was a game we should have won at a canter and we didn’t have what it takes- last season yeah we could go with ‘unlucky, we’ll be ok’, but got to be setting sights a bit higher now I think

 

[LilleSkyBlue]

Terrible penalty kick by Gyokeres - karmic comeback for last week?

It's been a long time since I've seen a dirtier team than Barnsley. Persistent fouling and gamesmanship from the moment they scored. A pity, as I warmed to them slightly last season.

That said, we didn't create many clear chances - O'Hare's shooting bad again, but did anyone see him being pushed in the area as he shaped to shoot on his second chance?

I'm absolutely fucking fuming and don't know how I'll calm down now.

 

[jordan210]

When the fuck are we going to wise up to tactics like that. We need to be doing exactly the same.

We pussy around when get fouled and refs dont give us anything.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

I can't believe we just let Gyo take it when he's one of the last you'd want doing it

 

[shmmeee]

If we’d kept Walker on we’d have won that by a country mile.

 

[Paxman II]

Annoying more than anything else. Always a tough afternoon at Barnsley but they will be counting their chickens having got away with that. We should have won and at the very least drawn at the end. No excuse for missing a penalty. It was a good performance second half and the home fans must have thought the inevitable would happen. We have had those feelings before. But it just never quite happened. We need teeth up front. Waghorn nowhere to be seen. Godden I hope is back very soon.

 

[Jamesimus]

They'll be loads of people on here who can't look at the performance and just say "bUt We sTiLl lOst", as though people with a more overall view of the game didn't know what the result was...

don’t agree- if we don’t score against opposition like that then we will have a major problem.

not bedwetting at all either, but forget them, we need to look at what we did wrong instead of blaming their roughhouse tactics, they won’t be the only ones to play like that

 

[skyblu3sk]

Agree, only one team turned up to play football and I'm pleased it was us. I thought we played fairly well.

 

[David O'Day]

I'm sure he's really bothered

As his only friends are on here he might be
