Barnsley v Burton Albion Match Thoughts

[perkytyke]

Williams running into the area at speed has to hurdle those sky bet advertising boards at the side of each goal, then ends up bent over the next ones! They are far too close for my liking and could end up causing an injury? It shouldn't be allowed!

A very poor watch but solid.
Special mention to Cole well done again !
Didn’t miss the West Stand today that’s for sure.
Are my eyes deceiving me ? Is gap at the top is closing in !!

Made hard work of it.
Not looking like a promotion team at the moment.
There are clear absence of links between midfield and the forwards.
Neither midfield taking the ball forward or forwards linking up with the midfield.

Little movement from Norwood - expecting Jalo to jump infront of him soon.
Cole and Mads were immense.
Excellent passing by Kich - very Hunter-esq.

Bring on the January window.
And fingers crossed Thomas is back sooner rather than later.

Jordan Williams did well.

The highlights were the two goals and another clean sheet. We got the job done despite having two notable absentees today. Both our goals were really well worked with some good build up play. When we pass the ball we can show some real quality at times.

The job Duff is doing is clever. He's sorted that defence out, they all work hard and we keep our shape very well. It's solid if unspectacular. If he's given support and backing in the transfer window then I feel a decent striker would give us a shot at the play offs.

Duff said: “I’m delighted. It was a scrappy game with good football played within it. Some of our players have been really ill in the week. The dressing room is like a pack of dogs, people barking all over the place. Our energy dropped in the second half a little bit. The game won’t get many headlines, people will expect us to win, but it was a difficult game. Burton have drawn the last four and they make it horrible for you. I thought we l looked relatively comfortable.”

Several players missed training this week, including Cole who was off on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.

Duff said: “This morning I was waiting for a phonecall with dread thinking ‘who is going to be ill?’
“The dressing room was like a doctor’s waiting room this week. I have had a bit of it myself. The whole country has got it at the moment. It’s a ready made excuse that we have been ill and not been able to train. The mentally is to give it a go whoever is out there. Earlier in the season, we could have drawn or lost it. There is a definite shift in mentality.”
Cole netted both goals from close range. Duff said: “That’s where we want him. He doesn’t score enough tap-ins. I have said that to him. I think he deserves more goals for his overall game this season. He is a bit frustrated with his goal tally so I am delighted for him today.
