Barnsley v Rotherham United Match Thoughts

[animallittle3]

We've actually come through three horrendous games at this stage of the season with 6 points out of 9 , by hook or crook admittedly .

We know full well what we are facing in the play offs and the evidence suggests that the pleasing on the eye teams who will be our rivals don't particularly like the questions we pose for them .

Absolutely total different thing are the play offs .

Yep, sometimes it just comes down to the team that keeps their nerve when they're up against it. I still haven't seen a shred of fear or nerves in any of our performances. And then, as you rightly say, we're potentially up against teams that don't like playing us.

Probably the worst performance of the season, but we won. I can see why Rotherham are in the bottom 3 as they cannot score

Totally agree wi that barring Swansea. I hope we dunt face them ore 2 legs. Got the measure of us have that lot, but then again, we dint ev Morris n Deekay when we laiked um ore Christmas.

Ayew's a massive loss for them Pass in my opinion , possibly done for the season .

Swansea are the team I want in the semi's in all honesty .

I don't think they can hurt us offensively as much as Bournemouth can and possibly Brentford .

A see what tha saying but in my opinion we laik better and possess more threat against sides who aren't as defensively orientated and as organized as Swansea. If we laik Swansea in semis itull be like it wo against Boro and Rovrum recently but not necessarily wit same results.

Gimme Brentford or Bournemouth ova them fekkers any day fo me. Ennyrooard, wiss laik who we laik mate. If we good enough and evva bit o fortune ova the 2 semis and a final we can achieve the unthinkable. Wiss cross that bridge when we come to it.

Absolutely nowt in the play off places staks up for us .

Least goals scored other than Swansea and more conceded than everybody else .

The fact is we move on to post season cup tie football which in essence is what the play offs are .

Two legged semi final ?

Who the feck in the championship has any experience of negotiating that ?

Fecking nobody .

Possible penalty kicks ?

Yet again nobody .

Completely different football post season .

In my opinion we can take Swansea out over two legs and beat Brentford or Bournemouth in a one off play off final .

I'm not entirely convinced it works for us any other way .

That said given what are aspirations were pre season or even at xmas .

It's a wonderful conundrum to have .

Exactly BD Wiv been victims o this for many a season at this level. Fkem

Exactly Pass and I'm sure they are decent enough to not want our sympathy. But I'm sick of this happening to us, so do I care if we were lucky today... NO sir, I do not.

The Barnsley goal wasn't luck, it was thuggery. I would guess Ismael had told his strikers to "let their keeper you are there" early on. Morris went in with a forearm smash to put their keeper out of the game and was as surprised as others that the ref let the goal stand.
Gary Madine did this often for Sheffield Wednesday and most Barnsley fans were up in arms against it.
There are photos of the keepers eye socket and face on BBS.

Good luck in the play offs, hopefully I will be able to watch it on Sky.
The big lad Dike could turn the games in your favour, he's an handful for most defenders and a decent player.

The less said about yesterday's game the better, our finishing once again was awful as per usual.
By the sounds of it our keeper has a fractured eye socket although I doubt it was intentional and certainly not malicious from Morris, he's not that type of player.
Just a little surprised the goal was allowed although I reckon goalkeepers get too much protection from referee's, on this occasion he got it wrong.
Btw no sour grapes from me, it is what it is....

Good luck once again in the play-offs..
