A much better read than the usual lazy expectations of turning us over and references to whippets, flat caps etc." "Its obviously written by Lee Johnson. Great to see him still being involved in his teams games even if it is as a forum pundit." "I got a bit bored after chapter 7" “Obviously needs a girlfriend” Mrs Fevs says I need a job rather than a girlfriend. She wasn’t too impressed with that idea. Although the job thing might be sorted....fingers crossed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1960maaan Posted October 17, 2020 Report Share Posted October 17, 2020 I think it will be a tough game, I watched Barnsley at Leeds last year and I would say it was the best pressing game I've seen. We can look awkward under a good press, though this year we do seem different and have better movement and (cliche alert) better at breaking lines. I don't like International breaks, specially when we have been in decent form, hopefully we can carry it on for No.5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Barnsley (or anyone) doesn't get the press correct it can lead to gaps all over the shop. We've been guilty of it this season in all our games(partly) except Stoke I would say - and Barnsley appear to be worse than us in that regard according to @Davefevspost. Whichever team gets it right today wins but, and hopefully I am wrong, I can see both allowing gaps and chances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbored Posted October 17, 2020 Report Share Posted October 17, 2020 That’s two Championship club fans that are impressed with DaveFev analysis of their club. The Owls and the Tykes. Neither of them have a poster who provides such detailed summaries. Otib is putting them to shame! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I watched them they used such a high intensity press, that I think that there will be opportunities for Pato and Weimann if we move the ball well.

They seem quite complimentary of the effort you go to with these Love the photo they've got of you working hard on your pre match report too Time to share your spreadsheet analysis of contracts and City's finances to seal the deal.

As Toby the commentator uses my write-up as his prep....it might reflect my thoughts But Tinnion on co-comms will put him right....he's an excellent co-commentator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davefevs Posted October 17, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2020 Love Tinnion saying that the u23s have been involved at Failand to try and replicate Barnsley's high intensity press. That's attention to detail / prep, not grass length!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
