Barnsley really should have scored 2-3 tonight. Poor poor finishing

It is when the ball is played though, even if it did come off the defender.
If the man who puts the ball in the net when it is struck forward by his teammate is offside, then it was correctly disallowed.
I must admit I thought it was offside but it was backed up by the biased Barnsley football commentary.
Edit: Sky reporting it was "onside"
The lowest points total any Championship team has recorded in the last 20 years was 23 by Rotherham in 2016/17. I reckon there's every chance Barnsley will end up with a lower tally than that. They're truly terrible.
The fact that City looked so poor against a side with such a woeful record should be a concern, but it looks like two of the relegation places are already filled and it's a two-horse race to avoid the third spot.
The rest of the season is going to be a really strange affair - a manager whose contract is up in the summer, five loan players, a load of others who look certain to be gone in a few months, and a supposed attempt to change the team's style of play while employing two Warnockesque lumps up front.
How this is going to turn out is anyone's guess, but at least relegation looks to be only a remote possibility now.
Morrisons post-match comments tonight on the scuffle and the bad tackle on Doughty.
On the post-match altercation, Morison said: "The [Barnsley] assistant manager didn't like the fact that they lost and didn't handle it very well. It was fine, he just picked the wrong person.
"It was an awful tackle [by Barnsley's Mads Andersen on Cardiff's Alfie Doughty]. That was why there was so much passion at the end because that was a real naughty tackle.
"They were hiding towels for long throws and being really nasty, and you know what happens when people are like that? They get their comeuppance and it's karma."
