It’s ugly as fuck for the second game in a row, but they’re showing so much fight that’s been missing at times this season.

Will be interesting to see how we set up next season if we survive. Do we add quality and go for good football again, or do we buy players to go more direct?

Looks to me like McCallum has bulked up a fair bit over the course of the season too, maybe it's added a few yards to that throw and that's why it's only being used now.

He is immense in the air; reminds me of Speedie in the way he outjumps his height. The rest of his game has been good too; brave and composed. made me laugh at the the time when people were calling him out as a weak link. Never has been for me, even at his worst.

Agreed. Had a sticky spell when the whole team were underperforming but has never let anyone down. I think what people forget, given how long he's been in our first team, is just how young he still is. Youngest player on the pitch again today.

I moaned because in a footballing side he’s a weak link. He’s better suited to the more direct football we’ve been playing where his short passing isn’t exposed.

Biamou. Our most creative striker. Yes he misses too many but has this season had by far the biggest impact.

Good first half, played Barnsley at their own game pressing high. Mccallum has been excellent again.

Boring Mark has got it spot on tactically, as expected.
we’ll roll the dice at half time make two subs and see what that brings, but it’s not going to be a pretty second half football wise but it was never going to be, was always going to pan out like this.

Fantastic half ...most battling half under Robins?

Kelly and James outstanding
Fadz and hyam outstanding

Biamou having arguably one of his best 45 s in a city shirt
Click to expand...

Agree. Grendel conveniently mislaid his charger so wont have to give Biamou or James any credit. Probably has his contact lenses in the wrong way round as extra security.

Played the opposition well.
Like Thursday, back to basics defending.
Get rid - gain yards and look for set pieces.
Similar to their plan of getting ball forward and picking up pieces in final third.
Very very frantic half. Hope we don't tire.

They play a back four, how he is building the attack is less important. There’s a game on can we do the football basics lesson later?

Would love him bsck on loan again. Think only chance of that is if MR and city can convince Norwich we won't be on a relegation fight again.
