How's that legendary Barnsley press ?

[ccfc92]

Mccalllum gonna get some game time do we think?

Wouldn’t be surprised on the hour mark

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

How is Allen being outpaced by their massive centre half?

I think that’s his limitation. His movement and passing are excellent

 

[Nick]

To be fair to Giles, nobody is making the runs into the box.

 

[cc84cov]

I’ll put my house on Shipley replacing Jamie Allen by 60th min

 

[ccfc92]

To be fair to Giles, nobody is making the runs into the box.

It's literally Godden on his own, need more bodies in and around the box.

 

[KenilworthSkyBlue]

Godden is, but he keeps on getting caught behind their 6"4 defenders. He needs to start making diagonal runs across the box towards the near post and try to get in front of them, otherwise they're going to continue to sweep up.

His movement today isn't as good as it usually is.

Barnsley press high with so many men that we have to punish them when we break. Many players not at the races I feel. Am I being too harsh?

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Very similar to the start of last season. Stay in the game and then push second half. How’s Dabo today?

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Really need to sharpen up in possession

He’s setting them up

I don’t think so we have been a bit sloppy

 

[wingy]

Derby are on target for a poor season

Forest also lost 3 not scored

 

[Nick]

Am I missing something with people wanting McCallum on for Giles for McCallum's crossing?

 

[clint van damme]

seeing Oakwell reminds me of our last day out there. Cracking day and a great atmosphere. Such a shame it's BCDs but more important things to consider currently.

 

[Tommo1993]

I hate a cheap corner in added time...

he definitely looks a little off the pace today. Wonder if he's got a knock?

Not wanting him to just wondering if he will

 

[BornSlippySkyBlue]

They do like a press don’t they.

 

[It’sabatch87]

Godden 1-0 penalty you heard it here first!!

 

[chiefdave]

Decent enough first half. Need to sharpen up a bit when we're on the break but the game is definitely there for the taking in the second half.

 

[Evo1883]

Steady half... Bit predictable at times we need to get o hare and Allen a bit more involved... Barnsley working as we were told very hard... Can they do it for 90... City just on top imo

 

[Tommo1993]

I’m sure if Godden could fire off a shot he’d wake up

 

[CovInEssex]

1 decent chance could win it

 

[KenilworthSkyBlue]

Possibly. Whatever it is he certainly doesn't look like his usual self.

 

[Skybluefaz]

Half time thoughts, Fadz excellent including one moment of Samba defending. Giles wasted the ball when he's got opportunities in the final third. Sheaf bit languid at times and he's paid for that in conceding possession cheaply, but has also shown good quality and strength on the ball. They don't look up to much. Let's go and win it.

 

[cc84cov]

People talking nonsense

 

[lifeskyblue]

So so first half. Neither side really threatened from open play. Ostigard close from header. Hamer looks class then plays very loose ball. Same with sheaf...calm and considered then gives away cheaply. Central back 3 looking composed. Godden not looking comfortable at the minute.

He's not a bad player by any means, but I'm not sure exactly what Allen excels at.

He's not quick, he doesn't beat a man, doesn't get in the box very often and doesn't score many.

Tidy little player who pops up in space and works hard, but I think we need a bit more from that position.

 

[Jamesimus]

Sheaf looking a bit off the pace. Hamer has been good. O Hare and Allen not involved enough. Giles been good.

 

[cc84cov]

Allen has been the poorest player for us expect Shipley to replace him soon
