I was feeling annoyed at half time at more of the same recent failings and the lack of a plan B, but can't argue with that second half performance, it was gutsy. Well done Thomas frank and team

This is the kind of game where I'm praying they get a red card

We're tactically pretty poor. No plan b. Teams seem to have us worked out now. Fingers crossed we grow into this.

with recent teams pressing us more than was the case earlier in the season (as they've learnt it works), Raya is often being forced into long balls anyway when it is played back to him. i imagine that statistically it's better to keep possession or something than roll the dice and have a small...

We're obviously under strength but it's looked like a bottom of the table clash thus far.

How no-one was on the end of that Mbuemo corner is beyond me. Think they may have misunderstood when Frank said 'keep your eyes on the ball boys!'

Coming back into it à bit now

It's just the same old press that Barnsley and qpr employed that makes us entirely ineffectual. We need a plan B when this happens that isn't long ball.

Rico unlucky. He basically got tackled. If that was on the ground its a tackle. Because its in the air its a pen.

Both Barnsley and qpr have simply pressed high and in numbers and it has cut us off and forced mistakes and ineffectual long balls. Bit worrying that our plan b doesn't really seem to exist

Oh I haven't :) luckily this year we have many games to regain form.

It's like end of last season isn't it. Mojo gone

Difference today is that Barnsley have managed to maintain their shape and pressing well into second half when teams like Reading fell away. Reflects well on their fitness and spirit.

Really impressed by this Barnsley side - keeping their shape and pressing as a team. Not allowing us to get into a passing flow for most of the game and forcing errors. Tactically we've been outclassed today. Barnsley position in league doesn't reflect their quality I don't think - they've lost...

my main expectation now is that my levels of concern about ability to get a season ticket next year will continue to increase and make me very stressed. I did my best to convince my pal to get one last year but with COVID he was a naysayer.
