Kilgour coming on.
That will do for me tonight.
Safe journey back to the gasheads that made the trip tonight đ .
We go again Saturday...

Itâs one game against a team that were playing championship football last season. We know weâre not the finished article yet and everyone can have an off day - this is clearly ours. Calm the f**k down. PS - It could be worse, we could be Argyle . . . Well said. Calm..

Really disappointing tonight. This was always going to be a tough game away from home against a team that will ultimately be challenging come the end of the season, but we have just not performed to anywhere near our level. To direct, to many players off the pace and second to every loose ball. Why did we go away from our usual game plan tonight? I think tonight it has become more evident we need a few more players in with top league one quality if we are to compete with the likes of Barnsley and challenge the higher end of the division as is our aim. Hopefully just a blip and we can get back on track against Pompey Saturday

Our poorest performance since that first half at Exeter last season. Bordering on the embarrassing at times and never looked like scoring.

38 year old Glen Whelan has been our âbestâ player tonight.

Barnsley are so much quicker and fitter, disappointing đUTG

The result we can live with but the manner of the defeat is the annoying part. Every Barnsley player looks better than all ours. Tactics are beyond any recognition. Not even a shot on target

We've been very poor tonight, but I think we should cut the lads some slack. The last time we played this badly was probably way back in Nov/Dec last year. Shows how far we've come. Also worth notong that Barnsley got to the Championship play offs season before last, and were 2 divisons above us a couple of months ago. Better to get these kind of results out the way early! Last time we were really bad was last Tuesday at Crawley - admittedly not as bad as this. Who cares about 1st round of League Cup?
League performances I meant

Not sure tbf, FGR was pretty poor. I do have a bit of a worry here that we're game on, game off in form. We got 'lucky' against Crawley as it was a cup game but otherwise we've actually been pretty inconsistent

What sort of formation have we ended up with?
Luckily Iâm not watching so am catching up with updates, looking at the subs and thinking we are just whacking players on somewhere in the hope it might work!

The only good thing I have learned tonight. Thank f**k we didn't sign Norwood! Barnsleys worst player by a country mile.

sh**e!
Only player to take any credit tonight was Kilgour who did alright off the bench.
Whelan maybe as well.
Almost every player poor tonight.
Worst performance since Exeter away.
Luke Thomas can stay where he is. If he played like that for us he wouldn't have found himself on the bench.

Just waiting for the post-match interview with JB where he says, we are definitely going to get promoted at the end of the season, no doubt about that. Then we can all chill and begin lampost climbing practice for next May.

Still 10th, and I follow summed it up.
A very poor performance, but every teams is entitled to an off day.
That was ours.

On to the next one, see those travelling at Pompey!

Against Oxford we looked much the fitter squad in what was dreadful conditions, extreme heat, it is possible we have not recovered aptly enough for tonightâs game. Portsmouth will be different.

We have a divine right to win every game - I'm outraged, Barton out!

I donât think it needed changing at half time to the extent that it was to be honest. The formation has served us so well, but we werenât playing our usual passages of play or getting stuck in enough, that was the problem. Second half has been arguably worse I think as Barnsley have taken their foot off and seen it through. Last 15 minutes of the first half we were improving slightly and creating half chances . At half time I felt we were still in it just about but our players have looked like strangers in the second half. The amount of changes at half time killed any chance of improving and then more changes to formation throughout the second half constantly hasnât allowed us the opportunity to get any kind of grip on the game at all. Itâs been changed so much that nobody knows where theyâre supposed to be on the pitch. Having said all that Barnsley have been excellent and look like they will be promoted based at n obviously this one game.
