It was a positive outcome - but at times some of our sloppy passing and missed chances may have been punished by a confident, more capable side.
As soon as we scored, the Tykes heads visibly dropped: once a team gets into the habit of losing, its hard to break the cycle.
At the other end, we missed some glorious chances to be out-of-sight by half time.
The nervous tension at 1-0 was obvious: we`ve seen it all before - a three point lead can disappear in a few seconds and we have a habit of being generous to the opposition.
It may not be wise to believe we are now on an upward trajectory - though I hope Im very wrong.
It was a significant game for several players - not least Martin Payero - who is coming into his own.
A great performance [though its a learning curve>>>>] He could have been accredited with an "assist" for a goal for the second match in a row - if Duncan hadnt missed a sitter!
The lad is proving he deserves a place, not on the bench - but from the off!
Oops!
Sporar battled and tackled - back like a man possessed. Hes settling in to the unpredictability and physicality of the Championship.
He`s got flair and class - so we need to keep him [Please Gibbo].
The South Stand have a song for Andraz Sporar - so if you dont know the words - keep your ears open.
He ran round all night like a dog after a bone, but that miss.....
Matty Crooks is an "old- fashioned" player.
Hes tall, strong, agile, puts his foot in, gets in the headers, spray`s the ball round and gives his all!
Not much to ask really!!!
He has a heart and a feel for the other players.
Hes a positive role model - on and off the pitch.
Hes got a brain.
A big positive for the team
He deserves to be made CAPTAIN.
Big "Oooochie"! is a frightening opponent - he could hold Boris Johnson above his head if he had to!
Matty is doing a great job helping our young Argentinian lad settle in and feel part of the Boro squad.
"Bonding" is important in team-building and creating positive spirit and morale`:
not just on the "battle-field", but in the dressing room, as well as on and off the pitch.
The Barnsley chop looks like he knows its not his ball!
"ee ar son - on me head!"
We like to see our team try - even if it doesnt always come off.
Get a sweat on and look like they mean it.
The lads did that last night.
Lets hope we do the same on Satda - even if it means Warnocks old mate, Mick McCarthy - gets the sack!
UTMB!
