Romared Match Thoughts Barnsley v Cambridge United

[animallittle3]

Frustrating day to say the least.

The defence yet again highlighted it's naivety and vulnerability. Will they ever learn and get better???

The lack of options on the bench to actually change a game for us is very limited to say the least- there's no strength in depth to this squad.

Yesterday we just didn't have the necessary quality at both ends of the pitch.

I thought we should've attacked a lot more from wide areas yesterday rather than persistently trying to play through the middle. Early crosses from wide areas offer more threat and mix it up. We definitely could've done more of that against that stubborn Cambridge defence.

I've wondered for some time why we continually persist with three at the back .

The balance just isn't there in my opinion , surely with two centre backs and the extra midfield player option it would be an easier thing to fix .

Depends on the opposition and the way a game is going.

The fact that we gave Cambridge an absolute gift of a goal gave them some belief and something to defend. They were on a bad run of form, low on confidence, lost 8 of their last 10 and heading for relegation. We score early and they cave in. We instead gift wrap them a totally stupid goal and they park the bus.
