Quite looking forward to looking for silver clouds for the rest of the season. After being glad to have a team, getting behind the lads and going again.

 

Amazing,suppose you didn't notice the numerous saves he made that, had Doyle been our keeper would have resulted in more Barnsley goals.
A far superior keeper.

 

We were never going to go the season unbeaten, home and away. Strangely for me, facing Barnsley this early is a great barometer for the management and players of some of the top standard there is in this division this season, and therefore I’m not overly disappointed to how Saturday went. If it highlights some things, good and bad, then results and performances (from what I’ve read - wasn’t there) like Saturday at this stage in the season, almost become a positive to me.

It’s what we do with it and how we bounce back, I’m more interested in.

 

SYB doesn't have a quota for this. He refuses to limit himself

Where is he anyway, banned?

I couldn't tag him

 

Agree with much of what you say Faithful. Wright did have a poor game yesterday and the reasons for that are unclear as he played reasonably well at Shrewsbury. Could have been the system he was uncomfortable with or maybe the occasion got to him - first home game, big crowd, probably had a lot of family there watching him so expectations high - who knows? I'm hoping it was the system (which can be changed), rather than the occasion as we don't want bottlers, especially not the captain, but I'll see how he fairs in the next 5 or 6 games before making a judgement on him.

 

You would hope lessons might be learnt. No real excuses, a game we should be winning, probably suits us better being away from home as well. At home this would look a bit of a banana skin tbh. Hopefully we can get through, with a decent performance.

 

Collins forgot the silver linings playbook

 

Still got two more points that I thought we would have from the first three games

 

I think the term is 'Every cloud has a silver lining' ............. in which case the thread should be more about the lining, not the cloud ?
But, yeah .... Great !! As you say, it's all about what we see on display on the pitch, not that which is hidden, assumed or suspected. Happy days.

 

I'd rather be greedy and wanting Platinum.

 

Really ?
I was expecting four - one from yesterday.

 

Sorry, NM ......... I responded immediately, but soon realised I was late to the game.

 

Have we?

Thought he could have done better for the first goal. The ball went in the air, 5 yards out, and he stood on his line. We headed it 10 yards and then the ball came back in.

 

You are wrong!

 

He may have made saves. Very rare you could pin a goal on Doyle though.

 

Interesting post. Thanks for sharing.

 

Impossible. I've already been wrong once this year. My quota is filled.

 

He couldn’t come for that. It was a powder puff header from the defender. Better communication needed.
