* The unofficial "Official" Boro v Barnsley match-day thread *

Also Crooks could rapidly becoming a Boro folk hero.

 

[Borobuddah]

Our midfield is being used and coming good

He’s much better in that CM role than further forward. Breaking up place nicely.

 

[Cardiffdaffs]

Barnsley are a pale shadow from the Tykes of last season.

 

[Duffman]

I don’t think Tav is very good and hugely overrated on this board (full stop). Hope he makes me eat my words but he looks like a petulant tubby teenager not happy at getting a start (on the wing) for a Championship team.

 

[Cuthbert]

We should be three ahead here. Let's hope we don't get punished for being so wasteful.

 

[Laughing]

We look great then pantomime

 

[S7DiscoDown]

Watmore and Sporar coming along nicely. Linking up well

Watmore running his ass off closing down

 

[Cuthbert]

We look great then pantomime

Yeah, usually pantomime when we're bearing down on goal.

These are a very, very poor side. Even with allowances that you can't take all your chances, we should still be 3 goals clear. Get a second goal early second half and we could batter them. The longer at 1-0 the more nervous and more chance that we throw the points away

 

[Diego]

Howson been best player on pitch since we changed shape. Up the Boro.

I think we'll get a second bm but I don't see a hatful, we're a bit all over the place in front of goal.

 

[Sheriff_John_Bunnell_ret]

Decent game. Good performance. They were getting in on the wings first ten but we sorted that. Midfield is combatant and dominant. Crooks especially good. Should have scored more goals.

Being saying this for ages. He is rubbish.

 

[Tomato Soup]

Payero is a luxury player at the moment. Unless he is on the ball, he is anonymous.
Hope he works out how to be more effective.

 

[Diego]

Crooks has been excellent. Personally think him and Payero are complimenting each other well

We are but I can see Barnsleys confidence is awful, a econd and I think they'll fall apart rather than us improve

 

[UTB70]

Guy on talksport says boro camped in barnsley half. Our back line so far forward we in their half...Yet on bbc barnsley have 56% possession? Work that out

You may be right there, particularly if a second comes early in the second half. A real confidence boost would be great.

Sky also say 56% possession too so it must be official Opta stats.
