I blame him for the first, the fourth, and he didn't do well for the third either.
Connolly tries to pull back his man, then conveniently forgets about him before he runs past and scores the winner. Are footballers that docile?
I wouldn't blame him for any. The defending though is shocking.
Morrison losing his man for the first, Noone pathetic attempt at challenging for the 2nd, unlucky for third, 5 men back marking no-one for the 3rd and Peltier and Manga unable to stop a player between them.
Rubbish.
Get Bennett back in and Bamba too
That too, he was poor today.Quote:

He was also unlucky with the third one because Whitts diverted the ball to the scorer, but I thought he got himself into a terrible position, thus making life easier for Barnsley - I think he was partially to blame with that one.Quote:

That's fair.Quote:

In fairness our defending had looked rubbish before we even conceded one.
Bamba and Bennet back please
The first goal had been coming for a while and I'm afraid Connolly is a shadow of the player he has been for most of his time at the club. Bennett doesn't fully convince me defensively, but I agree that he should return because Peltier offers us much more when playing on the right.Quote:

Had a rush of blood for the 3rd. Otherwise I think we need to look at how they carved us open on the break and us missing a few sitters.
Amazing how many on here thought Fabio was a poor defender.Quote:

No he's not, he's made 6 league appearances this season and that's only because George Friend is injuredQuote:

Friend has been fit since 11th December but Fabio keeping his place.Quote:
