The JRod situation is a bit hard to swallow. He's a better player than Barnes and the team plays better with him in it, yet after 9 months out (and before he got injured Barnes wasn't in great form), he has come straight back in.

Agreed seems strange although I note I’m sure Jarrod was injured when Ash came back in for me (I haven’t watched the games so maybe a moot point) Ash hasn’t done enough to remains first choice player but hey it does take a few games to get back into it I guess.

Hey all. Let's give the paper fans a good game.

This is a shame Ian, I don’t personally care about the name of thread or Madge but do understand tradition and see that there is only fun in it so don’t see any harm. I truly can’t understand why it keeps getting removed. We aren’t part of the inner workings of the board so there may be correct and proper reasons but it seems a bit petty to me hey ho.

Stay safe yourself

Appreciated Jarrow.

If I was a Brighton fan I'd really dislike their kit. What's wrong with the traditional stripes?

Taylor needed to do more there.

Not sure about Barnes and Wood up top, but it's a huge boost to have the Mee/Tarks pairing reunited, and 3 strikers on the bench, blimey! when was the last time we had 3 strikers on the bench. Hopefully they won't be required, but I'd rather have the options available than not.

I'd say it has more to do with which first team squad players are fit, as opposed to any attacking intent.

Lowton hits the bar...!

Zlatan · Post by **Zlatan** » Fri Nov 06, 2020 5:36 pm

Embarrassing from Barnes. Should have been booked.

he's playing the percentages and also a worm in the refs ear...

..and he's complaining about the decision to the ref. Barnes 101

Was awful. Then moans at Wood(?) for not collecting his ****e pass.

Is it just me of is Lowts looking a bit chunky?

burnleymik · Post by **burnleymik** » Fri Nov 06, 2020 5:41 pm

Barnes just doesn;t get any of those decisions anymore. It no longer works.

Going to be a tough night for McNeill, at both ends of the pitch

Zlatan · Post by **Zlatan** » Fri Nov 06, 2020 5:43 pm

both teams playing tippy tappy stuff and lose possession...

superdimitri · Post by **superdimitri** » Fri Nov 06, 2020 5:44 pm

We tried to play it out rather than boot it and it almost cost us.

Zlatan · Post by **Zlatan** » Fri Nov 06, 2020 5:44 pm

Barnes offside after Wood wins the second ball

Dyched · Post by **Dyched** » Fri Nov 06, 2020 5:44 pm

Barnes through on goal at 6 mins and prefers to try and win a foul completely sums him up. Appalling.

superdimitri · Post by **superdimitri** » Fri Nov 06, 2020 5:46 pm

They've given the ball away a lot due to our pressing but every time we get it we look clueless.

burnleymik · Post by **burnleymik** » Fri Nov 06, 2020 5:47 pm

Barnsey just shouldn't be starting ahead of JayRod.

I dont think we look clueless, we're zipping it about quite well. Just need to be a little more clinical at times

Not when we have the ball in our own half but Brighton keep gifting it to us in theirs and we look clueless.

Very sloppy, both teams.

Brady just looks so far off the pace of the game
