Man, what a rough game today. Can't win if you can't score. Story all season unfortunately. Few thoughts:

1.) For about 10-15 combined minutes, we looked unstoppable and were incredibly creative with set ups and offense. The other 75-80 minutes, we looked like a relegation bound squad.

2.) Why Palmer for Benson? Why not Palmer for Ben Williams and then shift Callum to LWB? Benson had a fantastic game and should not have been subbed off (barring fitness concerns).

3.) I'm a new fan to Barnsley so take this with a grain of salt, but man I don't see much creativity or elite goal scoring prowess from Woodrow. He's just *there*, per se and occasionally takes some fine shots. Not a big difference maker thus far.

4.) Why oh why do are we so insistent on playing the long ball sometimes?! It NEVER works because our forwards aren't tall. No one EVER wins the ball and we always lose possession either via a defender header or a long ball giveaway that goes over our heads. No creativity!!!! Need to do better.

5.) Will ALI ever play more than 45 minutes?
