Romared Match Thoughts--Play Off Semi Final Second Leg--Barnsley-v-Bolton

[Shadrack the Red]

Last time he let Norwood “get in their faces” from the get go against these, he got the go……off the bloody pitch and we lost 3-0!
He needs to be more disciplined in this one because as Shad says Evatt is a dark arts master and will have his players rolling in agony if Norwood so much as breathes on them!

It was Anderson who got sent off to which Bolton got a penalty not Norwood if that is what you mean or have I read your post wrong

[perkytyke]

No you are right mate, Norwood was against Lincoln in Pizza trophy! Old age, tiredness and excitement getting the better of me!!
Let Norwood at em from the get go then. Lol

Ha, I don’t think there will be any dark arts stuff despite what you think of Evatt. I’d expect you to come out fighting and go for an early goal but to be honest we generally stand up well against that. Where we struggle is when teams play like you did at the UniBol, press high and shut the shop denying us space to get in behind because that’s where we’re dangerous. Duff got it spot on in the first leg and despite being at home now it wouldn’t surprise me if he set up for much the same. So I hope you do come out and attack us because that leaves space behind for us to get at you which is when we’re dangerous. As for the two missing players, I don’t doubt that’s true but then Mads Anderson wasn’t supposed to be playing last weekend was he? ��

Let’s just hope it’s a good game, we get good officials and the better team wins. There’s not much between us and so this one could go either way.

Duff said last week that they would make a decision on Anderson nearer the game giving him maximum time to recover despite missing the previous two matches, he was never ruled out of the match .

Unchanged from the first leg.

One switch on bench - Cotter for Larkeche.

[POGGYWELL]

Beeb reporting no change to the referee Josh Smith.

[BarnsleyWhites]

Not quite the same but no Lieran Lee on the bench which is a big miss late in games and the Manure lad Shoretire also out of the squad but to be fair he hasn’t been good enough for this level yet. Thomason in for Sheehan should stiffen up midfield and hopefully big Dan will add a bit of size up top in place of Kachunga. Should be a good game tonight with both teams going for it and after a long season we’ll know who’s going to Wembley.

[EthelRed]

Williams and Phillips totally anonymous so far and Cole not won a header but happy at half time. Their hoofball causing problems
