Yeah I'm lost on the Johnston waterworks, maybe something personal going on for him. 

I think he's generally just a bit of an emotional type

At least, I hope it's nothing more than that anyway

Don't mind it- a difficult second half seen out, and a bit of relief maybe.

A bit knackered too probably. 

 

Similar to last week 

Great first half, shite 2nd 

Still not convinced I'd trust this lot down the stretch with how the fixtures have panned out

A 'football, bloody hell' sort of day that, should have been 6 up, ended up scrapping for it. 

We were as good as they were woeful first half, sensed it might be different after HT with all their changes and pride to play for.

First half MoM Dalby (still good 2nd half), second half MoM Forino, tremendous defending when it got hairy.

Gale as a like for like sub in that scenario was very risky, we might as well have played the last 20 with 10

Difficult second half perhaps a blessing going into game against Lincoln probably won't lose sight of the end result if we're in front against them. Being 3-0 up today at half time we  perhaps should have had a bit of sideways and  backwards early second half that could have killed any Barnsley momentum!!

Just saying hello from wandersways 👋😁

Credit to McAtee today, really good 1st half, nearly set up a goal in the 2nd as well.

You can’t afford two bad spells in a season for autos poor start and a poor Xmas and a tough finish to come and played more games .
all you can hope is Lincoln blow up pressure gets to them if we keep winning or get a few injuries to key players but otherwise they deserve to be were they are

Is determination is what you need at times especially today   at half time he was the one rallying the players

I wouldn't be surprised to see him move on in the summer

Johnson in tears at the end

Yeah , he looked absolutely distraught . Relief after the effort put in ? Or maybe some personal anniversary ? 

Gale's been poor each time he's played recently.

Echoes of the play off tie a couple of years ago, all rolled in to one. 

Absolutely irresistible in the first half and the start of the second, then concede to a deflected pot shot and the world collapses. Managed to get through it with the win and could potentially be a season defining win.

Dalby an absolute warrior up top again.

He doesnt look interested, really lazy and not a team player. Still reacting to the peterborough sub maybe, but h3 doesnt deserve his place atm.

Yeah he looked in a bad way, didnt look injured so i presume some personal stuff 

Personally with the second half performance I dont think SS reacted quick enough . They doubled up on their left realising that Tutu wasnt getting any protection from Apter . 

Macatee looked cream crackered after 60 mins and bringing Simons on seemed to unstable us a bit rather than strengthening us . Gale should have bust a gut for 25 mins but didnt at all and can look very lazy . 

Ref let loads go for both sides in the first half then turned into the spawn of satan in the second missing every foul from them for 35 mins , a blatant penalty to us and the keeper catching outdie the box for a red card. Also the drop ball late on on the edge of our box was bollocks . 

Dalby MOTM , some great saves from a solid looking keeper , Dempsey did really well ratting about infront of the midfield . 

Burstow looked handy when he came on and some great individual performances in defence . 

Had a feeling of Watford away so ecstatic with 3 points . 

week off before a big six pointer . 

How good was Dalby, I reckon he won 80% plus every long ball sent up to him.

Accused him previously of looking more like a long distance runner than a target man, and happy to be completely wrong. 

Blackett Taylor looks a big upgrade on Gale in the flesh. And Apter will win us some points along the way

Lots to be happy about, 3 points, an unreal first half performance, and them lot getting banged 6-1. 

Time for a 3 degree cold n gold. Coywm!

 

Dalby immense. Like watching a centre forward from 20 years ago that today.

We’re fucking ridiculous

Well, it's Munich around now isn't it.

Nope. Shit out of every single header today, including one in our own box in the 95 minute when it was back to the walls. 
 

I’d fucking hate to play in a team with him.
