SBRed Match Thoughts Barnsley v Bolton Wanderers

[NerfHerder]

Today was possibly the best we?ve played all season. Certainly at home anyway.

Jalo was superb. Took his goals well and was terrifying their defence all game. Connell was an absolute warrior through and ran the midfield. Russell looked very good in the opposition?s third. Others were good too.

I?ve been banging the drum the 4 at the back for ages now and after today, if we go back to 5-3-2 with wing backs, I?ll be annoyed. Let?s sign some full backs in the summer and go back to 4 at the back for a full season.

Pleased for Hourihane too.

You are spot on Nerth , i also have banged on and on about going back to a back four but I was told it wasn"t the Barnsley Way, absolute tosh , today was the Barnsley way , a 4 man back line what actually stuck to defending as a unit , a midfield that fought hard for the ball and were led by the superb Connell , he wore the captains armband and set the tone , he was outstanding , and for once we played with wingers, Jalo showcasing his obvious talent and Humphries putting in a strong skilful shift and of course we had Dunne playing up top who worked tirelessly pulling the Bolton defenders all over the shop with the end result being our best performance of the season and the fans getting some long overdue entertainment, lets hope Conner has finally got the message through to the paymasters that they cannot dictate to manager on playing style , leave it to those that know what they are doing !!! . We all know that one swallow does not make a summer but despite results of late being poor there has actually been signs of green shoots appearing, lets hope we continue to pull in the right way , we will see !! I know this, walking out of the ground today there was a buzz and a feeling amongst the faithful that I had not seen or felt for a long time .
