For all the plaudits that Williams has (quite rightly) had since he joined, the Barnsley player just outjumped him to score with a header.
Barnsley played some neat flowing football for the first 25 minutes or so but having survived we have come back into the game by virtue of a real howler from their keeper.

Most of us would have been complaining about our sole tactic of knocking the ball long to the little fella but it somehow paid off.
Lane doesn't strike me as the bravest when there is a challenge.
Elliott is very much in the game but I expect Hunt will take him off at 60 minutes regardless of the state of the game.

All to play for in the second half and let's hope we keep 11 players on -the ref has been really strict, for both sides even if the commentator is wearing RTGs.
The co-commentator is a vast improvement on the previous incumbent-is it media man James Wotsit?.

Yes it’s Earnshaw. Not overly impressed with his observation on how Tennai Watson has had a great career in the Championship though. Two years in the 4th division with franchise followed a couple more years with Charlton at the same level he is now.

Well shit. Ahmed's inexperience showing. Out of position slightly on the second, Burns doesn't trust him to make life hard and goes to ball with no hope of getting there leaving his man free to receive the pass and score.

Then Ahmed lunges into the back of his man in the box. Always a penalty

And that's too big a mountain.

We've had some moments, but we just concede too many basic goals, and we're never going to outscore our way to victory.

No shape. Not clue. A team of strangers out there. Hunt has to go.

How many fouls before Bland gets a card?

I got slaughtered for saying Ahmed wasn`t very good in our last league game, he`s really not very good at this level yet, Abrefa is better.

Was just a stupid decision to extend Yiadom rather than getting a new RB.

So you're saying a teenager had a bad game? What insight. Abrefa's had a bad game too, and that was against Swindon.

Ahmed looks like he has a higher ceiling and doesn't have the injury history, but Abrefa is probably the steadier hand at this point. Ahmed will improve with games though.
