I thought we had spells in the game where we were totally on top but just couldn’t make it count as much as we should have done. They also had their spells in the game and created some good chances.

Molyneux is clearly one of their better players and I thought Rooney struggled big time against him. I guess he can have some slack cut as it’s not his usual position. As of right now though, for centre back at least, he’d be last in the queue to get in the team for me.

Patrick Kelly was our best player I thought. His drive forward with the ball from central midfield is key and is something that none of the other midfielders offer. As much as I like Connell and Bland, they don’t have the pace and/or agility to do what Kelly does. That’s fine, they have other strengths. Cleary was also our attacking outlet again yesterday and had their defender on toast every time. I feel like once his final ball improves, he could explode with goals and assists and teams higher up will come sniffing immediately.

I have been to the last 2 away games and I think, overall, we have definitely been deserving of the 4 points we have got from them. We need to, again, make sure our home form and performances match up because poor home form seems like it’s creeping in again. I am hoping that with Luton being the next team to come to Oakwell in just under 2 weeks, they won’t sit everyone behind the ball (I think this is our biggest downfall when teams do this against us) and we can have a good performance and result.
