Another away game, another on sale day.  Tomorrow at 10am, 3200 initial allocation. Depending on the next couple of weeks this could be a huge game.

They've pressed us with real intensity - wish we would do more of that. Obvious but we need to create much more and it would be nice to pick out one of ours in the box from time to time. 

Kinell, knives out for Thomason.

Yes, a bad error, but the comments used are ridiculous. 

Over recent weeks many players have made all sorts of mistakes with passing, usually as a result of pressing by the opposition. 

It's a team issue, and one that the coaching staff can see, but haven't managed to sort.

Need to make changes now rather than the usual 60/70 minute subs

When's the play off final?

think he needs bringing off at half time, seems like a red card waiting tbh

How many times has Coleman kicked/thrown to touch 

Tbf to coleman, its preferable to landing it on their centre backs

We don't have any clever players to play these awful tactics when the keeper plays it out short. We also look toothless up front again. Can't believe in such an important game we hand out a gift of a goal like that. Other teams know what we do and are ready for it. It's not even schoolboy stuff just plain stupid.

Thomasson took too long on the ball. Nothing to do with Coleman. He needs taking off because this ref will definately send him off at the next opportunity.

We haven't played that bad but we're not creating enough chances to allow teams a soft lead. 

If it's not us gifting teams goals, it's us missing sitters, costing us points, so many passes/long balls/goal kicks/throws going out for throw ins too and even if it does get to Adeboyejo it's a lottery if it'll stick and we keep possession.

knew as soon as Thomason got a booking that it'll take away part of his game, maybe his head full of he can't foul anymore instead of fully concentrating, maybe his right footed goal gave him confidence to use it in that situation but it's no excuse.

Is it fuck.

Clueless 

We struggle against teams who press us high week in week out and still have no idea how to deal with it ! Better second half needed or our chances of automatic are disappearing. 

Jerome no doubt get thrown on when chasing a goal

3 men stood right on the edge of the box ready to press the short goal kick so they revert to a long ball out which is fair enough which then in turn ends up being a Barnsley throw in

Am not starting on thomasson but thats on him

 

In Thomason's defence, he was at least trying to get it forward

It was a simple ball played correctly to a central midfielder in central midfield. No real pressure until he mis controlled

League one players miscontrol it, that's one reason they play at this level.  So don't pass it to them in a position where miscontrolling it means giving them a virtual open goal.  IEs fault, he knows Tomo has awful close control yet persists with this tactic.

I'd honestly bring him on now for Vic

Anyway, it's all following a familiar pattern

Fair enough, makes sense.

As for the game as a whole- we are predictable, and better sides have a method.

Who knows, it may work out second half, but it is becoming annoyingly regular.

We used to do this. It was one of our main strengths. Not sure why we don't anymore.

It is luck when the ball cannons straight to one of their players.

This , the ball could have gone anywhere , it went straight to their man in front of gaol .

Yep we know what to expect high press but we carry on regardless passing to players facing there own goal . Barnsley aren’t has direct as before but they get the ball wide and in the channels why we are overplaying 

Lack of aggression. I don't mean going wading into challenges, but if you're going to dominate teams playing our style then you have to be on the front front and giving them something to worry about. We look passive.

The pass was their trigger to press

Of course there was pressure

I don't even think there have been knives out but he can't be above criticism. It was a shit piece of play by him that cost us and it's being pointed out that's all.
