The ball “boy” hiding the throw in towel was being a right prick and a couple of the tackles was really bad. We didn’t deserve it but very pleased we beat them after that.
I'm not following you with this 'character' stuff. City were absolute garbage tonight, but fortunately Barnsley are genuinely hopeless in front of goal as their record clearly indicates.
Tonight's was a narrow and somewhat fortunate victory over one of the worst sides the Championship has seen in decades. I didn't see much evidence of character. I just saw some very poor football, especially by comparison to Sunday's performance.
We matched them for workrate in the second half, that was the only way we were going to get anything in my opinion. Barnsley were not that bad, just shit in the final third. They threw everything at it. There were no personal performances for us, everyone performed poorly, but the work rate made up for it. That's fine in my book.
Sorry, I'm p*ssing myself laughing. If the nastiest thing that can happen is hiding some towels, what has the game come to? Great win. Crap match. Hilarious comments. I'll take that!
3 points all that matters. We’ve played a lot better and lost. Started a little run now, with an easy cup tie to keep it going!
Ikpeazu scored for Boro in the last round against Mansfield, so he is. Doughty played for Stoke against Orient, so he is. Drameh came on as a sub for Leeds at West Ham, so he is. Hugill was an unused sub when West Brom lost to Brighton, so presumably he can play. And Doyle has only played in the German cup this season, so he’ll be fine.
If you had to picture what Ikpeazu might potentially offer based on the way he was described when we signed him, that goal was just it. Completely bullied the Barnsley defender.
