Barnsley Post Match Thoughts

Evans complaining on the post match that players not following his instructions and going off script.
That must have been the 5 minutes in the second half where we didn't just hoof it. instead kept possession, passed and moved, played it down the wing and crossed it in from wide creating our only proper chance of the game.

Evans has to go. Don't care who we get in.

Anyone else see Tiehi talking to old team mate Humphrey, both covering mouths so cameras/lip readers could pick it up

Can only imagine the conversation
H - " what the fk are you doing with this set of wnkers"
T - " tell me about it, Manager is a complete c*ck and doesn't have a clue"

We didn't just look like a bottom half team, we looked like a bottom half of the bottom half team. I do think I'd be doing Barnsley an injustice if I was saying it was just because we were poor, because as poor as we were Barnsley were, for me anyway, outstanding. They were all over us, pressing us into making mistake after mistake, not that they needed to as we couldn't pass simple balls to each other even when on the odd occasion we had time. It could have been all over by half time, and ironically for all Barnsley's dominance, both goals were very avoidable. I've been saying recently how much we have missed Kelly, but he had the proverbial night mare last night, regularly not finding players with simple passes and putting us on the back foot, and had it not been for Dawson the scoreline would have been worse. A poor night for us but Barnsley, on that showing anyway, will be pushing for the automatics let alone the play offs, but we have to be better all over the pitch and SE has to take responsibility on how he sets us up to play because that last night was awful and I can't think of anything positive to say about our performance, and scoreline wise we got away lightly.

What's tended to happen in the last two season's and dare I say this , is that the top 6 or 7 are way way above the rest of the league , on a different level altogether .

So whilst the league is poor getting out of this league isn't easy when you have to be one of the best three teams out of the seven .

Ipswich Town and Plymouth Argyle the other year were exceptional , Ipswich were the best league one team I've personally ever seen .

After all the rubbish we've seen this season,I'm surprised we took over 3000 there.All Barnsley had to do was turn up.We've sold all the silverware and replaced it with cheap scrap.Promises from above that we've learned from previous mistakes couldn't be further from the truth.There has never been a plan at this club,we just go from month to month regressing.

Agree the diehards abd Evansites were all that was left last night. If they are turning on Evans that has got to tell TS something. We have got to get someone in who the players respect and want to play for. Clearly this lot don't want to play for Evans. On paper they should not be as bad as they are. If TS decides to give him another transfer window it will just be another scattergun exercise.

Announcement on Monday. 🥺

I wouldn't go as far as to say Nombe was the worst Millers player out there last night but I've seen Nombe in his Exeter days give our back three a torrid time with his aggression and willingness to run .

Not only that it was up against a far better back three than we've got today two years ago .

Looked a shadow of the player I saw at Exeter and one I'd have snatched your hands off to sign for us back then .

Have to say that after 60+ yrs of bein a miller - when Barnsley scored it didnt really bother me like it used to.

Got used to seein the worst team weve had for decades. Their body language and miserable looks on their faces says a lot,

Have to say that whilst Nombe isnt the greatest - I think if he had devent players around him - in the box he would bang a few whereas Hugebill,
JCH should be gone ASAP

Chairman looked well cheesed off last nite will he get rid of Evans?? I hope so - hes an embarrassment - really how can the players look up to and take him seriously??

That's a fair point animal and at the moment, on that showing anyway, your team are very much looking like one of the best 3. UTM
