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

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.

Need to win next game.
He went off with an ice pack on his shoulder. Not sure we could have kept him in.
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.Why have we spent £1 million on a striker who no-one would apparently back to take a game-deciding penalty in stoppage time?
Do you think if we play like that every week we will lose most weeks?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
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...
Fair pointsI 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
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.It's that same curse of just not taking chances then giving away an awful goal.
So us losing a game is nothing to do with the opposition?We missed our chances it’s nothing to do with them we missed chances
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.I can't believe we just let Gyo take it when he's one of the last you'd want doing it
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.'Deserved more'
We still lost. We have to do better. Squad looks so thin too. Not so many options.
Why is he one of the last ones we would want taking it?I can't believe we just let Gyo take it when he's one of the last you'd want doing it
Did you watch the match ? We missed chance after chance first half we should of been out of sightSo us losing a game is nothing to do with the opposition?
Do you think if we play like that every week we will lose most weeks?
Gyorkeres is fucking dreadful. Was shit all and then costs us a point with a dreadful pen.

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 goalsGyorkeres is fucking dreadful. Was shit all and then costs us a point with a dreadful pen.
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'.As his only friends are on here he might be
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
He was asking for travel agents on his Instagram today few weeks I think yetGoddens on the verge, getting a run out in the week, so hopefully.
You think we can sign a player who going to score 20 plus goals? Got a few million quid going spare?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
