Bellsview Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 I went to Oakwell today and to be honest I quite enjoyed the game. I won’t go into massive detail but from what I saw of both sides we should have nothing to worry about if that’s the calibre of the chasing pack. Wildsmith was poor and Mendez Laing was a passenger. Hourihane was very quiet and although McGoldpig put himself about a bit, generally speaking Derby were disappointing. Their supporters filled the away end and were loud early on, but after Barnsley scored their third there was hardly a peep out of them. Norwood up front for Barnsley worked hard and chased down a lot, and Kane looked lively in midfield. I was impressed with Mads Juel Andersen at the back for Barnsley and if how he played today is the norm for them then we ought to be having him watched as a possible recruit for next season (if we can afford him) On the whole though, seeing those two teams only reassured me as to just how strong a side we are and how much we’ve come on this season. We shouldn’t be in fear of anyone we play. UTO! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tylluan Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 @Bellsview Barnsley are 9 points off Plymouth with 2 games in hand. I think they're the dark horses for nicking 2nd place. They have Plymouth and Ipswich at home in March and if they take 6 points out of those games then I reckon they'll be going up with us 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He got one assist and could quite easily have had two. Also, if it means James is going to be fit for Dingles and Bolton then DM has called it right again.

Owling_Wolf Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 Thought we were smashing in the first half and, the same as others above, thought we should have put it to bed by half time. Second half, instead of more of the same, we allowed the game to be ridiculously open and I kept expecting us to pay for it. Thankfully they were poor in front of goal, though credit to Dom Iorfa for that astonishing long-legged crash block. That was our win, right there. Well done 'J.B.' for a good first half, a good assist & and lots of effort. Sounds like he enjoyed himself! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M42Owl Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 Another “game of two halves”. Should have been out of sight at half time. They didn’t have a shot, off or on target. Second half was more even, but I thought they had the better chances. Again, they came from our mistakes rather than the opposition’s skill. But the defence was resolute, Flint and Iorfa outstanding. The late free kick on the edge of our area was a worry. Fortunately we dealt with it easily. No one had a poor game today, but credit to Brown who did a lot better than most expected from him. I thought the ref was a bit card happy and was looking to send someone off, he seemed less picky in the second half. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the ref was a bit card happy and was looking to send someone off, he seemed less picky in the second half. Whilst it would be hard to disagree with the "card happy" comment, I never saw him as looking to send players off. If so, Cam Dawson gave him plenty of opportunity late on, after being booked earlier. (Time wasting. Must have been learning from the master in training!) In fact I complemented the ref. during the game. I don't mean I agreed with all of his decisions: several seemed to be given the wrong way. What I liked about him was the way in which he basically left space for the players to get on with the game. He only seemed to stop play for the more obvious fouls: quite a boost for those who like it 'flowing'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkowlthesexynewversion Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 Interesting that their manager is whining that Iorfa should have been sent off for a first half challenge. At the time that was the one decision I thought the ref had got wrong and there was no foul. Be interesting to see that back. A decent performance, first half we should have been 3 up really. It is my only criticism of this team, they don't put games to bed sooner and leave the door open somewhat. Saying that at HT there was a raging argument going on near me, thought the chap was going to get levelled at one stage. I am not sure the Geordies would enjoy that away end either. Though their fears of crowded spaces does not extend to Trafalgar Sq looking at a few pics. Some good banter with the Charlton fans across the train tracks post game. And a great scene at London Bridge Station as several hundred Wednesday fans informed the locals / tourists of our top of the League status Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
