Barnsley (H)

[Winchester White]

Dempseys playing well, we need a bit of luck and a bit more concentration 

[Whitesince63]

Well we can’t say we haven’t had chances, just not taken them.

[deeane Koontz]

Is that cowardly shithouse on the bench for them?

[CambridgeBWFC]

Iredale should have had at least one with all the chances he has had at the far post

Yes and let’s hope he stays there.

[CambridgeBWFC]

Aaarrrggh so close

[Whitesince63]

Could have gone either way to be fair, just glad not to lose. 🥴

[maaarsh]

With Peterborough losing chance of going up have been done no real harm today overall

[CambridgeBWFC]

Well a very mixed bag, that 15 minute period in the second half we could have been 3 or 4 down. But finished strong and all new players looked OK. Had the chances to win, but a draw is not the end of the world 

[Arrested development]

I'm happy with a point. Hate playing those fuckers. 

[jmjhb]

A draw probably a fair result on reflection.

Yeeeeah 😁

[Chadderton]

Would have taken a point this morning and would have snatched anyone's hand off for one after first 15min of second half.

[Farnywhite]

Against a high press team like that we needed to bring bod on earlier to give us the option of hitting it longer . Sorry but vick brings fuck all needs sending to turkey  

[deeane Koontz]

Take that,. Thought we were gonna get a wholloping early in the second half.We seemed intent on wanting them score  

[Wanderlust]

We gave them enough clear cut chances to score a hatful and that has to stop, especially when we’re not creating so many ourselves.

All that possession using the extra man at the back is fine but when we are being pressed, we have to be accurate and whilst I appreciate the idea is to draw them on and play through the press, the ball has to stick for it to move play up the park and until JDB and Collins came on it didn’t.

Evatt has implied in the past that the chasing Dion and Vic do wears the opposition down - maybe it did to some extent - but that first 20 minutes of the second half they’ll still be fresh and fired up and will continue to press, but we often come out for the second half and try to play as if they’re already knackered and we look vulnerable. Not the time to spray it around or make lazy passes.

If we can iron out the sloppy play we’ll be fine, but I’m chalking that down as a lucky draw seeing as they had the clearer chances by far.

5/10 must try harder.

It was a weird game in that you could make a case for it being any scoreline really. 

[paulhanley]

Awkward game

You can see why Barnsley do so well away from home. 

Acceptable point. Win needed in midweek now.

Aye

Dempsey MOM

Collins looks instantly like he'll be a fan favourite, there's something Grealish like about him

He has to start on Tuesday
