Red Exile Posted August 5, 2017 Report Share Posted August 5, 2017 Excellent first half. Fast pressing football. Impressive. And impressed by Pisano and by Reid's energy and battling spirit. Good stuff. Confounded my expectations I'm delighted to say! Thought Wright and Hegler looked very comfortable at the back - although Barnsley offered little. Looked a poor side.

Fordy62 Posted August 5, 2017 Report Share Posted August 5, 2017 You've got to feel for poor old Barnsley. Any sniff of a good player and they're immediately sold. It's a massive task to keep replacing one gem with another - eventually luck will run out. I suspect this could be one season too many for them. That being said, sounds like we really went at them from the word go and I'm pleased for Bobby. I hope he can finally live up to what many have seen. He made himself undroppable for today and now he's undroppable for the next couple too. Long may it continue. Oh, and well done LJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crackers Corner Posted August 5, 2017 Report Share Posted August 5, 2017 Can't believe when we were 3:0 up some city fans applauded when Barnsley sang about Lee Johnstone. I'm not his biggest fan but that was embarrassing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But overall great performance, happy with the full backs, midfield appeared to do everything that was lacking last season, Reid has goals in him and Diedhiou looks strong, but Pack my MOM best player on the field IMO. O Dowda Was our only attacking threat In the 2nd half, made a chance at the end from nothing... would like to see him further forward in the Reid role personally. I'm still to be convinced by Corey Smith of we want to be a top 10 team though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cidercity1987 Posted August 5, 2017 Report Share Posted August 5, 2017 We always beat Barnsley at home, no biggy. Shame we dropped off and didnt go on to get 6 or 7. Love to Pisano, Reid, Diedhiou, Hegeler. New era lets go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miketh2nd Posted August 5, 2017 Report Share Posted August 5, 2017 Maybe not instead of Reid right now but you have remember first day of the season and barnsley were poor... my statement was less personal agsinst Reids form just more to do with seeing O Dowda play In behind the striker... I think he might thrive there but wouldn't drop Reid on current form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smart header from Famara. Agree - v good header Thought Bobby Reid's turn and cross was the highlight of a decent display from him , even over the goals He noticeably was thinking as a striker today - looking to shoot early As for the partnership - Famara played a big pasty in the opener for Bobby so one a piece Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still to be convinced by Corey Smith of we want to be a top 10 team though... Will have to agree to disagree on both i'm afraid, ODowda hits the first defender with nearly every cross, I don't think he is championship ready yet. And as for Smith, yes he gave away possession now and again but did an unbelievable amount of work that goes unnoticed like putting his foot in and nicking the ball away, tackles and harrying, actually tidying up several times for misplaced Reid passes or Diedhiou passes or Patterson passes or Brownhill passes, he is never going to look like a Messi but you need a Smith in your side.
