New gazette feature

Fook knows what scores we'd get if we were playing well??
Scores out of 20 perhaps?

First half player ratings
Bettinelli - 4

Beaten at his near post for both goals.

Coulson - 5

Caught out for the second, doesn't look too comfortable on the right.

Dijksteel - 7

Composed in possession.

Fry - 6

Tried to calm home defence after Barnsley's goals. Captaining side.

Wood - 5

Composed start but troubled by Barnsley's speed of thought at times.

Bola - 5

Promising start, was sucked across to cover for opening goal.

Morsy - 6

Flashes of calm in possession. Barnsley's movement troubling Boro midfield.

Wing - 7

Most likely to make something happen going forward. Two shots.

Tavernier - 5

Quiet.

Browne - 6

One early header wide but otherwise struggled to get into game.

Fletcher - 6

Worked hard and linked up well with Tavernier and Wing at times. No chances of note.

What’s wing got on him to get a 7?
 
We're so bad it's almost funny. Almost. But crucially, not quite.

At this rate we're going to be relegated with "Set Your Limits" on the front of our shirts :poop:
 
Our first 11 isn’t good enough let alone our backups.

Utter shambles at the back. I’m sure we will still hear how Fry is good enough at this level 🙄
 
Barnsley have composure , caress the ball and push and move around us with ease. Morsey seems meh. Another crab.
Are we on course to concede our usual 3 at home....embarassing

People would be going mad if pears had let them in. Near post both goals.

Don't think you can blame the keeper for the first one. Their player on the right is totally unmarked and had ages to pick his shot.

Only been here a few days, hopefully see better from him in future. (y)

Poor old Coulson's been anonymous, probably cause he's on the wrong side. I'd like to see Browne and Tav actually carry the ball running at them a bit second half.

Clueless manager

He plays wing backs then puts a left fffooted player at right back, totally negates any real chance of creating going forward.
Lump the ball forward every time we get it.
God knows how Wing gets a game and tav is never a number 10 His best performances end of last season were coming in from wide positions
This is what we have got to look forward to all season.
Mind you its a good job he sorted the keeper situation
We'll do well to keep the score at 2-0 2nd half

I agree with what you say about the team but let’s be honest if Warnock can’t do it then no manager will. I’m sure in 12 months we will change the manager again and nothing else will change.

If only we could find out what the common denominator was....

I do wonder....

At least we will always have Sir Steve and his mates though!!
 
Ha ha ha
'Stratford' is posting fans tweets on the Gazette Live match feed.
They are 'not' complimentary.

The players he put on the pitch should of lined up like this

Bettinelli

Dijksteel
Fry
Wood
Bola

Morsy
Wing

Tav
Browne
Coulson

Fletcher

Why the **** we are playing Coulson right wing back and Bola at left wing back I will never know.

He is experimenting to see what players can do in and out of their comfort zone. I think he is more bothered about seeing what people offer in certain positions. Bola is in his normal position (albeit as wing back rather than full back). We only have one right back (Djiksteel) I think he is not wanting to risk his only right sided wing back before Bournemouth.

We are well short of a promotion push and this emphasises it, getting Djicked by Barnsley.

We need 2 strikers, a Centre Back, a Right Back, Left Back and a pacy ball carrying Centre Midfielder and a pacy Winger to be anywhere near the top 6. Sell Pears, Paddy and/or Britt or Fletcher to fund it or hope loan players are organised.

We need about 7 players.
Be amazed if we finish anywhere near top six

Be amazed if we don’t finish in the bottom six. Recruitment has been awful for years, the players aren’t good enough and the club for one reason or another haven’t got the players Warnock wanted. Unfortunately this is going to be one of the few blots on Warnocks impressive cv. We have been comprehensively outplayed by a team that will be in the relegation mix. We won’t go down but thats about as good as it will get. No other club in the championship would start the season with only 2 recognised CBs in the squad.

Don’t buy that. Left wing back is so much different to left back and Bola looks awful going forward so far. He should of played 4 at the back for this game and he could of. It’s very poor.

As I said on one thread, it is sending a message to Gibson to buck his ideas up in the transfer market too.
