Continuous long ball forward - played straight into Plymouths hands.
We had two light weight strikers stood together - that were easily levered off the ball by their centre backs.
Only time we made any progress is when Aichison in the 1st half ventured wide - and Thomas did the same in the 2nd half.
We need more flexibility other than punting the ball up to 2 light weight strikers stood together.
Only having 2 strikers also greatly effected the high press - which was clearly non existent.
Plymouth defenders had time and space to pass the ball straight through Barnsley’s midfield.
IMO - we need a return to 3 strikers spread out along the front line.
