Play him in the u23s.

Diedhiou would struggle in the over 80s league.

I am really looking forward to the second half - It can't be as bad as the first half surely?

Famous last words.....

[sh1t_ref_again]

Are fam and Semenyo on a off side bonus, because its the only thing they have done

[Ronnie Sinclair]

So dull even the bench are bored

Missed some of the early stages.

Not exactly enjoyable but seems like we've shown a bit more endeavour etc at least? Barnsley the better side so far from what I've seen.

Not convinced by the team selection though it is nice to see Sessegnon back. Distinct lack of possession and creativity so far.

A midfield of Vyner and Lansbury...with Palmer and then Semenyo and Diedhiou ahead feels a broken side structurally IMO.

Could we have had a case for a pen right before halftime or nothing in it really?

...I'm afraid not. 

There are no positives thus far.

Downing is defensive coach right? Well he can stay imo because our organisation has been good this year considering the amount of pressure they are always under 

That is a fair point, but surely his remit would stretch to midfielders protecting the defence? Defending isn’t just about the defenders

Barnsley manager looked right pissed off at H.T.

They will have to step in up 2nd half!!!!

Absolutely understandable. Imagine being the manager of a team that can’t even beat Bristol City at the moment - you’d look a right mug wouldn't you?

Annoyingly, if we were any of the teams that have played us over the last 6/7 games, you just know that we would have enabled the opposition to regain their confidence and form and run out winners. Why does no one do that with us?

[old_eastender]

Kasey Palmer at least showing some fight

[2015]

Taylor Moore has been exceptional :laugh: Gilmartin is such a troll

Yup. They’d rather be at home, on the sofa, on the same wage. 

Barnsley making a double change. They can tell we’re here for the taking. 

[Sheltons Army]

Szmodics notches another 2 for Posh

 

[Red white and red]

What an absolute embarrassment we are. Simpson and Downing are utter shite!

They need the lads to play spoof first to decide who gets to come on

[Curr Avon]

I think that Ismael is going to replace his front 3. He did this against Blackburn.

Lansbury just looks so unfit. The control then and how slow he was to then make sure he got to it. Bloody hell what's he doing in there.

Only Ashton knows...

We are now so far off the pace of the AVERAGE sides in this league!

Make that a triple

[Prinny]

Look at this, proactive subs trying to win the game. WTF!

Says it all when dumb and dumber think this is acceptable and don't change it

Can he replace ours too?

[myol'man]

Triple substitution from the visitors?

[Lrrr]

Missed a cross because robins TV wants to film a Barnsley coach. I don't pay a tenner to miss chances and look at some Barnsley coach

I thought it was an EFL feed which we commentate over?

[Harry]

8 mins into the 2nd half and the oppo manager is making 3 subs!! That’s a man wanting a result.
