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.

You can see why not many turned up for their first home game. Not very entertaining is it? Basically watching 11 men fall over and commit cynical fouls every time the opposition counters.

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

He went off with an ice pack on his shoulder. Not sure we could have kept him in.

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Need to win next game.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

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

Given he'll now be out for the next few games we need Waghorn and Gyo to put in more hours on the training ground to understand each other's play

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.

Here's a photo of me. That should help.

We missed our chances it’s nothing to do with them we missed chances

Relegation decider.

 

[Paxman II]

We didn't do anything wrong. We lack a finisher who is still injured!

No I meant if he hadn’t gone off injured.

Thank you

Why have we spent £1 million on a striker who no-one would apparently back to take a game-deciding penalty in stoppage time?

 

[Tommo1993]

Of course the biased cocky northerners deserved to win.

If Waghorn is the penalty taker then robins won’t be happy. Sounds like a brilliant performance without the goals. It’s why we needed to improve our options this summer.

 

[Marty]

Gyorkeres is fucking dreadful. Was shit all and then costs us a point with a dreadful pen.

 

[Mucca Mad Boys]

Absolutely gutting result. The big positive is that if we play like this all season, we’ll be absolutely fine.

 

[BornSlippySkyBlue]

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

Do you think if we play like that every week we will lose most weeks?

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

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...

We played better than last week but lost.

It's a results business though, and I would rather take the 3 points.

 

[djr8369]

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

Fair points

 

[Liquid Gold]

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

Well we have a better defender coming in on the side we conceded the goal and our top two goalscorers from last year are coming back.

 

[BornSlippySkyBlue]

We missed our chances it’s nothing to do with them we missed chances

So us losing a game is nothing to do with the opposition?

 

[TomRad85]

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

Robins needs to be screaming at Waghorn to take that. It's cost us which is a real shame. An away point would represent a good start, losing to a team as crap as Barnsley this early is never nice.

'Deserved more'

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

Allen won a penalty, Salter-Clarke kept us in the game by getting back to tackle a player clean through. Kelly and Godden are back in training and with them on the bench it'll look better.

Why is he one of the last ones we would want taking it?

Did you watch the match ? We missed chance after chance first half we should of been out of sight

 

[COV]

no but I don’t go in for this “might have been” stuff- played well but ultimately failed, we only had one shot on target

 

[djr8369]

Feel like I need a shower after watching that Barnsley display. Imagine buying a season ticket for that? It’s like paying to watch someone date rape people.

 

[clint van damme]

I'm not too despondent.
We played OK, made chances, should've come away with something and really i shouldnt be on the bus home Ishould be heading to Barnsley police station to bail out a mate who got away with some silliness but for a benovelonet steward.

He scored last week. Was he dreadful last week. Unbelievable

My concern is the squad is thin and full of injury prone players.

With Walker now out we are going to need Godden back soon as well. Let's hope he's up to it.

Nothing to do with toady but last season didn't think he deserved to be signed bit of a donkey and never going to score 20 plus goals

 

[Skybluefaz]

As his only friends are on here he might be

I can't comment on the game as I didn't watch but the reactions are funny. If we'd have won that game in that style it would be 'great battling victory' or 'sign of a good team playing poorly and winning'.

 

[wingy]

Goddens on the verge, getting a run out in the week, so hopefully.

He was asking for travel agents on his Instagram today few weeks I think yet

You think we can sign a player who going to score 20 plus goals? Got a few million quid going spare?
