    why are we always going back to Alsopp even when we are attacking?!!

    Because Barnsley are pressing extremely high and aggressively and he's as good a long ball outlet as any outfield player

  • Looks like both teams are happier without the ball.

  • Kashket does so much running for us dosent he

  • Bayo getting nowt again not even at throw-ins which used to be a shoe-in.

  • Not been pretty so far

  • ‘Bapp for Bolts’ is a very Yorkshire advertising hoarding.

  • Our best bet is going to be getting their center backs to use their feet not their heads.

    Just to irritate you @Wanderers82

  • If we could get it down and play you fancy there might be something here for us. Their keeper also looks shaky.
    So far though it's just ineffective hoofing, hopefully Horgan or McCleary can put something together as at the moment it is a static Bayo, and Kashket chasing lost causes up front.

    How do you do that? Surely it's better for them to not touch it at all?

  • This has been painful to watch so far

  • We had 17 shots on Saturday by not playing long ball. We’ve forgotten that though.

  • No chance for Allsop, McCarthy stood off too much, needed to get tighter

  • Awful so far. Bayo not controlling much and too easily robbed on the deck.... oh dear 1-0. Get it on the deck

  • Dreadful, dreadful game so far. Far too easy for them to score that - why have we decided not to pass the ball today for 30 minutes?

  • Disappointing.

  • absolute garbage...we only have ourselves to blame ...utter negative tactics

  • No ones got any confidence to put their foot on the ball and play.

    But why not? Our equaliser on Saturday came directly from a fantastic passing move.

  • I am reallt nonplussed. Their defenders are massive, and we are just hoofing it skyward.

  • This is a poor as we've been for a while, injuries have dictated we play this group but it's just not working. McCleary and Horgan barely had atouch

    Not having Stewart is certainly part of it.

  • You cannot give them so much space to score. Poor performance.

  • I'm consoling myself that the second half can't be as bad..

  • Disappointing to say the least so far.

    Usual scenario of not getting Horgan and McClearly on the ball.

    Barnsley look another team who aren't at all special. Maybe this division isn't actually that quality placed as odd as that is to say bearing in mind we can't beat anyone!

  • Barnsley are better organized. That’s all the difference at the moment.

  • Chaplin looks an annoying little bloke.

  • Birmingham are winning. You can’t trust Reading to do anything right.

    Luckily we all have a positive mindset from the beginning so still all to.play for, eh?

  • Kashket's little tugbacks would be more subtle if he didn't wear those gloves
