Numero Uno

Probably. I would take a point right now. We are a poor side and this at 3pm would most certainly have fallen into the point gained category. The fact that we may have ballsed up a lead TWICE against 10 men is irrelevant to me........I'm just looking at 50 points and get some more players in hopefully.

Exactly. What is missing is "composure", composure to do it at the pace you have to do it at Championship level. Simple as that.

That may be the case but shit goalkeeping is shit goalkeeping. Kalas, whoever should have been closing down and Bentley all deserve a ******* shoeing in that dressing room afterwards for that "effort".

He shouldn't be tbh. It's probably another couple of points he's cost us if we can't nick a winner against the run of play..........not the first this season tbh.

It was awful but I don't want my goalkeeper getting beat by a pea roller like that. Absolute shite from Bentley.

**** off!! Simple header not executed, closing down not executed and the ******* goalkeeper is letting goals in for fun atm. How about a few of our "senior" players step up to the plate?

Shit clearing header, shit closing down, shot took 10 minutes to go in so you have to look at Bentley. How many ******* mistakes can players make in one goal?

That is very true. No luck goes your way if you don't even have a shot.

A goalkeeping mistake goes our way. That doesn't happen often. Shite goalkeeping but who cares.

Pardon?

Because we ain't got much quality...........despite what a few on here would tell you. Half of our side panic like **** when the ball is at their feet and they are under pressure. We have a team of Messi's being ruined by the Manager apparently..........the truth is they probably all can knock it 50 yards to feet in training WHEN IT DOESN'T MATTER. So obvious yet people don't want to believe it. That's why staying in this league would be job done this season.

Who are these “senior” players then? I can’t see anyone senior showing much in the way of leadership. If one does take Nige aside I hope he sparks the *** clean out.

This all started way before Covid.

I think the latest home run will be the final straw for many. There are large numbers of ST holders not even turning up.

Lansdown is going to get an almighty smack in the chops at next season ticket renewal and he’s had it coming tbh.

Exactly and "better" players alongside them who haven't been pulling their weight for weeks get a free pass........

He's gone, give it up. We all know the reason he's not here is because Palmer and O'Dowda are and that's to do with finances not football reasons. Give Stevie Boy a call on his mobile if you want to make a real issue of it!!

What’s the point though in a way? After selling players Barnsley are a poor outfit on a very tight budget, will very likely get relegated whoever is in charge and all you are doing is paying another manager to get them relegated plus gardening leave to the one you should have left in place to get them relegated.

Deserved the sack for losing to us tbh?

I don’t disagree but yesterday he was our weakest midfield player. He looked like he had won a fan’s competition at times. Hopefully he’ll get back to what he can do on Tuesday. We still lack leaders in this squad, something I was hoping James might be, and that is something Nige really must address.

Yep. He's a fantastic shot stopper but there is a clear reason why he hasn't made it to the Premiership yet when a couple of years ago he was one you would have expected to push on a bit more.

He absolutely detested it here though, and I've heard that from people who would know, so it might be one of those chicken and egg situations.

What, on his performance yesterday? If so the people picking that would have been off their heads on hallucinogenic drugs which, to be fair, is about the only thing that would have made that game bearable it was so low on quality. Did you see the game?

Crap goalkeeping, end of story. Really crap.

This is where I differ from most on the forum. Cracking saves are great but they don't impress me as much as others. These higher level pro's train all week to make saves like that, probably making 30-40 saves like that every week if not more. I want to see a keeper who exhibits good decision making and takes pressure off defenders. Why should our centre halves be heading balls underneath their own crossbar all afternoon? And then when the goalkeeper does come, he doesn't get within the next ******* postcode of the ball. No defender wants that behind them. MOTD was waxing lyrical over Ramsdale yesterday because of the SAVES he made...................and they were great saves, especially the Madison free kick....BUT what impressed me the most in the 20 odd minutes I watched in the concourse before the game was the crosses he was collecting and you could tell from the defenders reactions they appreciated that every last bit as much as the great saves he made.
