Dealt ok with the famous press, although short goal kicks give me a heart attack. Our players look better on the ball than theirs and of course, we've had the best chance.
Looking like a 0-0 atm, would like to see Walker for Godden and maybe Shipley on for Allen to get some shots away.

Decent enough half. Very cagey, both teams pressing, neither team look like scoring. Giles has had a lot of ball but we're looking poor in the final third. Its games like this, when Godden doesn't offer enough. Has 0-0 written all over it.

Hopefully we will do what we did against qpr and come out with more intensity.

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

O’Hare is sadly being marked out of the game

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

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

Or Walker

 

[Barnsley]

What a shit show this is at the minute, two very energetic sides cancelling each other out, 18 & 38 are best two on the pitch First half, no real quality on show at the moment, dead balls from 38 are class and the header on to the bar from one was really unlucky, your the better side up to just though. Hopefully we come into it second half.

 

[Liquid Gold]

I can imagine that Barnsley’s press puts teams under pressure if they don’t have a Marko that is so good on the ball.

 

[Evo1883]

Feel that both sides are very organised and quite disciplined which doesn't add to the spectacle.

 

[Tommo1993]

Cut him off and that’s probably that.

 

[jordan210]

kinda forgot Goden was on the pitch. We need to play it down the right more

 

[harvey098]

Hamer was phenomenal in that half. He’s so on it.

 

[clint van damme]

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.

was that when he sent two of their attackers down the chippy with a turn and then leathered it about 40 yards to no-one?!

 

[David O'Day]

We've been the far better side they and should be a couple up but for crossbars and wank pull backs.

 

[SkyblueTexan]

Struggling to see what Allen is supposed to be doing

again

Agree. Think he might need to be replaced.

 

[cc84cov]

Dabo is there but he needs more in front of him what is Jamie Allen supposed to be doing in that position ?

 

[clint van damme]

early days but looking like another cracking find by the recruitment team.

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Hopefully not famous last words but they have no goal threat whatsoever - if we can get a goal we should win

Has either team had a shot on target?

He picked out Giles didn't he? Giles should have then done better

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Hamer is clearly going to be a Premiership player in time. Our forward players need to catch up with his thinking. Sometime not enough movement for him.

Well i agree in my own head... Never say that shit out loud lol

 

[mark82]

We've not been bad but not been at our best so far. Hopefully we pick it up a bit second half.

Yeah Barnsley had some from that styles but is was straight at Marosi.

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

He's good. Took him for a walk, now he's watching the game with me.

 

[mrtrench]

Barnsley winning the pressing stats at half time.

 

[Jamesimus]

Hamer was phenomenal in that half. He’s so on it.

Love how annoyed he gets when he doesn't find his man with a pass. Did a no-look first time pass to someone when surrounded by three Barnsley players.

 

[theferret]

Things to be positive about and a game there for the taking, but it's all a bit scruffy and always disappointing to get to half time without an effort on target, although very unlucky with the header.

Barnsley one shot on target: City, zero.

That's from the Beeb

Found Giles with that pass, was very good!

 

[Covkid1968#]

Happy with that half.... just need a shift of gear now. Barnsley lad was spot on. Press really hard and never stop.... good defensively but feck all up top. 1-0 to us or 0-0 seems the likely outcome here. I’d take either.

 

[clint van damme]

you might be right actually

You've touched on an excellent point which I noticed a couple of times in the first half. Some of the passes he played were almost too intelligent.

They had one shot that bounced into Marosi's arms.

Agree that Allen doesn't look great so far. Seems to be getting frustrated with no time on the ball.

McFazdean has been excellent so far.

The bar??

 

[Covkid1968#]

Can’t get sound on ifollow but not that bothered. Used to like Clive but went on the Friday show with Juggy once and went off him.

 

[Evo1883]

Hes always excellent... Well... Almost always
