Fair enough, there was at least the one cross where Gooden made a run and he wasn’t picked up and cross went nowhere near him. Less than 30% accuracy for cross (6/21) tells the story for me. In fairness to you, it can be a two way street. Their commentators did mention a few times that ‘it...

This season, what do you mean by ambitious exactly? I agree we will mid table, but I do think Barnsley will be thereabouts too because they’re a good outfit. They lost to an inform Luton team and a Reading team that’s on fire after going down to 10 men. With all due respect to the people...

Some harsh scores for Walker - he won a few aerial duals. Oakwell has been a tough place to come for a lot of teams in 2020. We didn’t create any meaningful chances in open play, I think that reflects on the midfielders and wingbacks for that.

Poor starts can flatter to deceive. When you got promoted in 2014/15 season (I think), you were bottom 3 (or thereabouts) in Xmas, and went up by the end of the season. Your manager did what he had to keep you up. Make you a difficult team to beat by pressing really hard, and not conceding...

What’s the implication of that exactly? Quicker recovery time? Less chance of repeating the injury?

This forum was buzzing when we announced Callum O’Hare as a signing - he’s a good player and has got what it takes to be one of the best in this league, eventually. Does it well on both sides of the football. As for Giles, we’ve all been pleasantly surprised with him this year as he only made a...

Comments like today will be frequent in games we don’t create much. Gooden is a hard worker, presses from the front, decent in the air considering his size. His bread and butter is working hard off the ball to get in goal scoring positions. We didn’t create enough chances, and hitting 6 out of...

His yellow card was stupid though - but he’s a great player.

Remember Portsmouth at home when he had a quiet game then popped up with the winner? That’s the kind of striker he is.

In games like today, it’s a harsh assessment. He’s a striker that needs service and he didn’t have any. He made a run similar to the one made v QPR but Giles put a flat ball to the near post and he didn’t pick him up. Ngl, too many people put their expectations too highly for this one...

Scored 6 in a row, you’d have to keep your best scorer on. Baka will get his chance.

Decent point for us. They’ve been good at home this year, and they pressed us really well. Pretty even game because both teams had half chances, but we pretty much cancelled one another out. Both teams will be fine this year. Looked at the stats, 6/21 successful crosses - that needs to be...

Offside, even so he can do better.

Both teams are pressing each other well. Allen and O’Hare defending well for us from the front. Hamer and Sheaf have got a few tackles and interceptions too. Their number 4 has done well too.

Agreed. He’s a had few nice interceptions and tackles, just needs to concentrate and ship the ball on quicker against teams that press hard like Barnsley.

No cog for me this week. Looks like I’ll stick with the ‘gravy drinkers’ this week.

Hamer just bombing in dangerous corners every single game. Fancying another goal from a corner this week.

Can anyone get the Cov commentary on iFollow? Stuck with the Barnsley commentators as it’s not giving the option to change.

They were lucky to even be in the playoffs last season. In my view, they’re just not good enough for the Championship and it’s showing. They’re too direct, and too reliant on set pieces to get a foothold in games. Even last season they had some of the fewest goals in the league from open play...

Rose has 2 goals in 31, Hyam has 3 in 83 games. With Hamer on set pieces, I'm hoping for more production from all our CBs this season. Our set piece takers in the previous seasons haven't been great.
