The Barnsley v Bristol City Match Day Thread 39
Offside replied to havanatopia's topic in The Havanatopia Match Day Archive
I'm happy with a point in the context of today's game, with us being behind late on after what sounds like a disjointed display...but our away form is a concern. We are still in the race for the play-offs, but we don't seem to have much momentum. Next week's game at Millwall will be interesting! -
The Barnsley v Bristol City Match Day Thread 39

I'm feeling optimistic about this game...or maybe it's just relief that the international break is over. 2-0 to City. -
Exactly the same failing as last week - we stopped playing. All the things we did in the first half to control the game we stopped doing. Just before they got their first goal I made a comment to my son about how we seemed to have stopped pressing, allowing them to have their half to themselves. For both their goals we let them get in front of us rather than showing the determination to be first to the ball. When teams take their foot off the peddle it's difficult to get control of the game back - so in the end we were hanging on and lucky to get the point with their chance right at the death. On the one hand a point gained, which I would have taken before the game. Overall, though, another two points wasted. Still all to play for, but very frustrating today.

I've only been to Elland Rd once for the infamous Nicky Hunt game. Horrible game but a decent weekend out. Credit to those City fans who've made the long journey today. I'm never optimistic when we play them away. I'd take a draw today. "Marching on together" is second only to that Irene crap sung by the fewers as the most annoying football chant.

It's important that we get something out of tonight's game to get our league form back on track. Also to prevent the losing streak becoming a "thing" that affects the confidence of players and fans. A draw would be a decent result. Being away might suit us to an extent. Apart from the Aston Villa game, our away form has been excellent. We struggle more when teams get players behind the ball, which presumably Derby as the home team will be unlikely to do.

Frustrating game. First half our play was too slow but we improved after half time. It just seemed that the final ball lacked quality and our crossing was poor at times. God knows how that chance near the end didn't go in. Norwich were well-organised defensively and looked dangerous on the break. Liam Walsh had a pretty good first full game.

I thought City were excellent today. LJ got it spot on. It's the first time I can remember City playing without a "recognised" striker (yes I know Bobby Reid has been great so far but it's his first season in that role) but we caused Middlesbrough all sorts of problems with our interplay. We also saw the game out really well after the flukey own goal. We looked like a very good day side.

Good on you, Derrick.

It would be great to bounce back after the Preston game with a win, but I'm not feeling overly confident about this one. Injuries seem to be taking their toll.
