Barnsley - Nottingham Forest

[zicorice]

So we lost because Barnsley brought on fresh legs and we didn't?

What about all the times we have lost after bringing on fresh legs and the opposition didn't?

I am sorry but I am not buying that.

100% agree especially as we were all over them for majority of the 85 minutes and it was our two fat wobbly fresh legs and fat ar$e that gave away possession cheaply to allow them to break and score.

If we're looking to attach blame for the goals then we should maybe look at how the two scorers were unmarked and in space. The first one Colback went deep into the box to defend the cross leaving space for their no4 to run onto the ball and have a shot on goal, the second yates stood watching while their no9 slotted it away from just outside the box.

I'm not implying either players were at fault, after all the first was a class finish and the 2nd a result of a bit of a tired lunge by Ribeiro which went wrong.

Generally I thought we looked a class above anything else we've seen so far this season, and quite a stretch back into last season too. IMO Hughton's just trying to work the front to back balance out at the moment, moving away from the backs against the wall approach that Sabri did so well with and to getting players in more forward positions to make us more offensive. When he gets it right I can see us having a bit of a positive run. Maybe in the last 3rd of the season? Of course at that point, the play-offs will be a impossible.

I’d argue the ref also got in the way of colback closing down the strike... second- really poor by riberio

The ref got in the way of Colback.

Rib clumsy lunge failover for the second.

We have to make our own luck.

Take the chances.

Fresh legs don't make a difference?

Rib looks knackered for that clumsy lunge for the second goal.

To be fair he's got beat for similar goals last season.

Our fullbacks are soft.

When I watched it back, I'm fairly sure Ribeiro just slipped at a very inopportune moment. More sh1t luck than sh1t play tbf...or sh1t boots...
