I know I'm having vision problems at the moment, but am I the only one having issues differentiating the two teams?

 

[Danetheblade]

Moore not even in the squad. Rumours of a big training ground bust up with Knilly over a which flavour monster munch are the best* and who is actually the Welshest.**

* beef and **RND

There’s going to be a bust up on here saying shit like that.. we all know it’s flamin’ hot that’s the best.

 

[Blade56]

If Brewster doesn't score tonight I'm done with him. Don't know why I've picked this match but my give him time, there's a player in there has to end sometime.

Post, feckin post

 

[Jan Age]

19 minutes 0 shots on target and only 1 shot all game

Rak sakyi seems to be getting his eye in

Clearly already been told … don’t shoot under any circumstances… you must overplay it in the box

 

[JayGreen17]

Need better link up in midfield to the front, stray passes all over the place. But like a training game at the min

 

[Blade58]

Anyone spotted any blokes wearing stetsons in the directors box?

Midfield is rammel … none pressing for first team and clearly shows we need more signings …now 30 minutes with 0 shots on target

It’s the reserves , that never play together. Give them time to gel.

We need more signings because of half an hour of a pointless cup match with second string team, you do like to find fault don't you.

Yes they are young lads … but they’ve played football a long time… every ball has passed through midfield with barley a tickle … they aren’t getting tight enough to players or picking up 2nd balls… I’m talking individually not cohesively

 

[jono_t2000]

Mccalllum and surprisingly Coulibaly the better players on the pitch.

All of the youngsters struggling to make an impact however and giving ball away cheaply.

Rak-Sakyi barely had any touches but when has he set up our best chance.

I don’t know how many early round cup games you’ve watched but every time I’ve watched a game with wholesale changes it’s the same.

Teams need time for players to gel together

I’m talking on an individual basis … I understand the gelling … but every player should tackle , close down and press which they aren’t at all

 

[Chilttheblade]

What a dreadful game

 

[jono_t2000]

I wonder with Slimane going, Wilder has told Coulibaly there's a bench spot up for grabs.

Seems pretty up for it

 

[Ldn_Rd_Blades]

I’m talking on an individual basis … I understand the gelling … but every player should tackle , close down and press which they aren’t at all

It’s a team game, it’s hard to play well individually in a changed team.

It always happens.

It’s the same with England friendlies when they try new players

 

[Vikkster]

Anyone spotted any blokes wearing stetsons in the directors box?

 

[Berkshire Blade]

I don't understand. People on here were acting like Peck is the finished article able to start at championship level

 

[Jan Age]

The one stat that needs changing …. Davies has had more touches than Brewster…

If we insist on moving the ball right to left it has to be quicker as we are so slow teams just shuffle across with ease. (Same with the first team too)

We don’t take risks like trying to take players on or hit space in behind.

And this was a trait last time under wilder … robotic players passing the ball instead of expressing themselves

Dreadful half of football

 

[Jimmy Fleck]

Really don’t get the negativity this is a decent Barnsley side with experienced players at home against our reserves and kids…

 

[Jan Age]

It’s a team game, it’s hard to play well individually in a changed team.

It’s the same with England friendlies when they try new players

I don’t expect patterns of play but I do expect individuals to do the basics … they aren’t it’s very simple

 

[Brewster Cost £70 million]

 

[Belvedere Blade]

 

[Balham]

Clearly already been told … don’t shoot under any circumstances… you must overplay it in the box

The Wilder way. He seems to insist on working a high percentage chance to the point of refusing decent opportunities from range.

Absolutely agree with this

Don’t these players train together. Just asking

 

[ancientblade]

not good but better than pigs are doing at cleethorpes 1 down and could have been 2 or 3 apparently the snortbeasts are not happy must seem a long time since that first game fluke
