TRL Posted February 23, 2013 Report Share Posted February 23, 2013 As an umpire, the first thing I learnt was - keep your eye on the ball. If you turn your back, you're in real trouble... That is what i was taught, it was ******* painful when it hit, i kid you not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esmond Million's Bung Posted February 23, 2013 Report Share Posted February 23, 2013 We only looked dodgy in midfield when all the subs were made, Only Marv left on of the starting 4. We then gave them loads of room like we did when Del was at the helm. You'll note the time of Barnsleys 2 & 3rd goals. Noted, but it was coming for most of the half, the midfield and the defensive performance was a game of 2 halves IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slartibartfast Posted February 23, 2013 Report Share Posted February 23, 2013 We seemed to be going gung ho for goals leaving ourselves open, they had nothing to lose but attack. The shuffle in MF didn't help, but well pleased. At times we played some stunning stuff going forward ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brizzle Jordan Posted February 23, 2013 Report Share Posted February 23, 2013 Barnsley had 21 shots with 14 on target. That more often than not should be enough to win the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRUEBRIT66 Posted February 23, 2013 Report Share Posted February 23, 2013 Not sure if its been mentioned else where but I felt Heaton had a cracking game and if it wasn't for a couple of brilliant saves in the first half it could have been a different story.

Heaton did, could easily have been 2-2 at half time. And to be fair I thought they had more gilt edged chances in the first half than us. We rode our luck in both first and second half Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRL Posted February 23, 2013 Report Share Posted February 23, 2013 It do come tight, or what? Well less tight if I had got my hands up in time, certainly kept my damn eyes on it, couldn't see out of it for nearly a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did well although at this level he should be saving those that he did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats like saying I haven't lost it , just cant find it. He had a great game and also thought Albert didnt foul for Davies goal and Stead should have had a penalty.

BCAGFC Posted February 23, 2013 Report Share Posted February 23, 2013 Never thought I would see the day when Marvin Elliott was our deep laying playmaker. Had a reasonably good game although he gave the ball away a couple of times and was slow at times to make decisions. BCAGFC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCAGFC I thought he and kelly played quite well, did the dirty things quite well, when they won it they didn't hoof it, just played it simple. Didn't he get 2 assists from headers as well?

TRUEBRIT66 Posted February 23, 2013 Report Share Posted February 23, 2013 Heaton our best player today Agree strong at the back and some brilliant saves didn't have a chance on the goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
And Its Smith Posted February 23, 2013 Report Share Posted February 23, 2013 It's a funny one with a keeper. If he'd let in most of those of those shots today then he'd have been at fault. Schmeichal always says that you need to play in goal before you can properly realise if a keeper has had a good game or not. Alternatively there are often times when keepers get the blame and it isn't their fault,. Namely when free kicks are swung in, miss everyone and bounce in. Keepers often harshly criticised in those circumstances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the Tunnicliffe shot in the first half was the best, through a crowd of player dipped and moved, it looked to be very close to him, on reflection a very good save. if he had let 1 or 2 in in the first half, how different that game could have been, the point blank save from the header was pretty damn good as well.
