Players taken foot off pedal thinking they are already safe. Had too much praise o et last three games when over the season, most deserve no praise at all

How does a (recently) stable team go from one extreme to the other? 

Poor coaching?

Because of the quality of the teams we played?

Disappointed that Mark Little has returned his Cafu costume to the fancy dress shop.

Doesnt look fit.

[Rossi the Robin]

Cotterill should come on

Brownhill not the player we need on the right today - looks lost

[HitchinRed]

HT

[Rossi the Robin]

Better outside in the sun

Might stay here

HT

Let's hope they can do their usual good half next.

[054123]

Barnsley are a solid organised championship team.

Although the goal was awful, not an unfair reflection of the game

Cotterill isn't in the squad 

[italian dave]

Seriously don't know how a professional official can get so many so blatant decisions so wrong. 

[redandy1]

And there was a poster this week saying do you think we can relax now and how things were taking shape. We started the season with a Manager who is not fit for purpose and we still have him. And relegation is very much a possibility with Brighton on the horizon.

[Major Isewater]

High tempo , pass and move ,positive ,agressive football , all missing in action today.  

Passion , my elbow.

Johnson earn your pay !

[CotswoldRed]

They can pretty much secure their status with one good half. 

I hope that sinks in during the break.

A coach has to teach that. And ram it home time and time again on the training ground.

Oh what a surprise our coach didn't. Useless. Absolutely no excuses. 

A classic case of shoehorning blame to Johnson at any opportunity. My six year old knows to play to the whistle.

Is Steve L there ? maybe another visit to the dressing room required...with a waving of the cheque book, it may remind them as LJ seems to have lost his way....again?

Shame, saw same 11 forgot to look at subs

if he's fit, a proper blooper from LJ

[Crackers Corner]

That's as bad a performance as I have seen all season

[CotswoldRed]

Well, Wigan managed to come from 2 behind. Now it's our turn. 

[cityexile]

Barnsley much the better side by the sounds of it. Nerves, whatever, just does not sound like we have got going. Having said all that, need the big decisions to go your way on a day like today, and not happened with their goal.

Forest sounding like they well deserve their 1-0 HT, and Blackburn involved in a bore fest. Fun fact, last six Blackburn have won have all been 1-0, having drawn at HT 0-0. 

Have to take the game to Barnsley now. They will be nice and relaxed and enjoying themselves. Ho hum.

[Jacki]

Dreadful half, like the horrors of winter. They need a rocket at half time, I'd bite your hand off to still be 4 clear at the end of the day.

Agree

A bad case of hubris; LJ should have dealt with this possibility and had the team up for it

Bet you Birmingham 's coaching team will have their team raring to go in our last match

Important half time for LJ to earn his salary

Definitely tactical flaws at the moment, no width 

How many times have I said that...

[Northern Red]

I notice a few people who've been MIA for the last couple of weeks are back with a vengance....

why should he? he will get it anyway plus a going away gift when SL eventually kicks him out......because he will......eventually.

Only thought that keeps me going

Vengeance? 

Those MIA have been full of compliments for what LJ and the players have managed of late. 

Nothing particularly vengeful here.

As blatant a foul as you will see. I am flabbergasted it wasn't given. 

As others have said, professional players should know to play to the whistle regardless of coaching, but given the nature of the foul I'm not surprised they were expecting the whistle to come.

I haven't attended. Some nice beers in the Spotted Cow beer garden before the game with mates now heading home. 

Not supporting what's going on down there at the moment I'm afraid.

So u keep saying. Fair shout. But give it a rest . We know you're stance
