Boro v Barnsley

Warnock is there - in the West Stand
(probably easier to see our ineptness from there)
The ex-Leeds gadgie is on the touchline.....Blackwell
 
GOAL: Barnsley 2-0, Williams (34 mins)
2-0 to Barnsley. Jordan Williams got in behind Hayden Coulson and beats Marcus Bettinelli at his front post.

GOAL: Barnsley 1-0, Schmidt (22 mins)
Barnsley lead. A well worked goal from left to right. Boro had been sucked across and Schmidt had the time and space to pick his spot at the near post.

That near post seems a bit of a weak spot
 
I wonder if Stratford Johns or whatever the new Journo is called will tell us how much this Barnsley Second XI cost???
 
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
 
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.
 
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.
 
'Captaining side' isn't an action....it's....a 'thing'.
Next it will be points for turning up, breathing, wearing shorts.....
