I can only speak for myself but I think my comments were bathed in genuine relief that he is actually #2 after some disturbing speculation that it might not be the case!

Made a good one very early against Barnsley too, was very quick off his line to close the gap to the striker who broke through. He just looks like a proper goalkeeper all the way down to his body language - he owns the penalty box. Miles ahead of Wilson.

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.

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.

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.

Poor pen. Never like players that aren't naturally composed taking pens and Gyo is naturally clumsy.

Didn't fancy Gyo there for a second.That's where Waghorn should be grabbing the ball and saying it leave it to me.

There'll still be 1 big chance left for us in this game, just got to be composed.

Moore, Dabo and Maatsen and then Hamer's 2nd half all big positives from today.

Hamer clearly been asked to get forward more this half rather than sitting in. The further back we push Barnsley the better we'll look. It's a typical Robins game, try and keep it tight first half, give the players more freedom in the 2nd as the game opens up. No-one has been shit, but...

The main question is whether Barnsley can keep that tempo up for the 2nd half. Any drop off in the work rate and I fancy us still. Lack of pace at the back costs us in these games as we always play deep because of it and i get that we don;t have much choice against a team pressing a slow back 3...

Bit harsh. He played very well for the first 30 minutes, was winning a lot of possession deep and helping us to counter, should have done much better with his early chance but in the last 10 minutes there he misplaced 2 or 3 through balls from decent positions.

Hyam on the right and Rose on the left looks much more balanced in possession but we have to be so organised. If a team does get in behind us you can forget it, we're never getting back.

More likely there's no hospitals in Barnsley and they're waiting on the local vet to finish his emergency call out to a Whippet with the shits.

He was holding his arm out in front of him, in my experiences, if it was a dislocation it would be down at his side and hurt like fuck. Just impact from his diving header attempt i think and I thought collarbone. But I'm not a doctor :)

Don't think it was a dislocated shoulder. I'd guess it was collarbone.

Strength and pace from Dabo there. Good signs he's over his injuries. Haven't seen much genuine pace from him for a long time.

Brilliant save from Moore, counter attack and an awful finish from O'Hare after being brilliant in the build up. O'Hare in a nutshell right there.

He's there though, wearing his lucky Barnsley bucket hat and yellow tutu.
