Yep, predictable - Barnsley have had to bring on fresh legs for the front 3. They'll be knackered.

A performance-enhancing drug, Erythropoietin. Allows the body to produce more red blood cells, which increases your endurance (with the proper training, obviously).

What Barnsley have just done there reminds me of how Wigan Warriors used to play under Maguire - they used to go hell for leather for 60 minutes in the hope of blowing the opposition away and coasted the last 20 minutes. There's simply no way Barnsley can keep that level of pressing up - their manager's head dropped for a reason when we scored. He knows that's a devastating goal to concede with these tactics.

If they keep up this level of pressing beyond 60 mins I want them all tested for EPO.

People have become too used to Tosin and Mulgrew - a CB than can dictate play. He's a better defender than both, but it's not pretty.

Have The Referee's Association had a big Zoom meeting about Brereton? The FKs they're giving Barnsley today, yet Brereton can't buy a FK.

Barnsley are working their socks off here. We're having to weather the storm, they'll fade.

We literally don't have any more athletic players to put on there.

Bunch of divers this lot.

Begs the famous question "what do they do in training?!" So many soft tissue injuries.

Why are Barnsley wearing yellow? Isn't their home kit red?

I thought Ayala was fit again?

He's the only one that holds the ball up. He's worth more than £7m in today's market.

Stupid from Rafferty.

I bet Liverpool had a word about us running their 17 year old starlet into the ground.

Obvs not a fan of our best CM.

Just watched the highlights - you won't see a more stonewall penalty.

That's because we concede goals at an alarming rate. That's on the back 4 and the goalkeeper, not the formation. There's no formation to protect a Walton / JRC / Bell / Lenihan lineup.

JRC is being played out of position - he's being asked to be a jack-of-all-trades because our defensive recruitment has been so poor. He's not a FB in a month of Sundays. He should be rotating with Brereton, Elliot and Dolan in those wide positions. Speaking of - Liverpool are going to terminate this loan if we continue to run Elliot out there for 180 minutes every week. Trybull is a tidy holding midfielder. Playing him alongside another holding midfielder is pointless - neither provides much going forward and they get in each other's way defensively. 4-3-3 is the best thing Mowbray has done in his time here. However, it needs two mobile / creative CMs playing alongside a holding DM. Buckley needs to be Holtby's understudy.

Like most conspiracy theories, it gets the basics wrong. It was Gavin Ward.

Honestly, Kaminski is the difference.

He absolutely deserved the yellow card, but any player would have reacted that way.

Yep. Foul if he jumped for the ball. Foul if he didn't jump for the ball. Was bundled over a few times in the first half and the ref waved play on. He was taken out from behind in the penalty area and the ref waved play on and obviously he's been booked for getting hacked down there. If we had standards in this league, this lad wouldn't ref again this year.

He didn't go down like he'd been shot last time.

This ref is an absolute disgrace.
