Although I hate losing and especially to sh>tholes like Barnsley, losing or getting trounced isn't the worst thing in that it doesn't paper over cracks. We clearly don't have the budget or quality of Barnsley, bar one or two, so it will just reaffirm that JB does need further quality in THIS window for us to have a half decent season.
I don't think we will be anywhere near the top come May with this squad but I also don't think we will be down the bottom.

Big test for JB .. he needs to shake this up a bit…
No harm in that.
Barnsley have more energy - more desire - more creativity.
Probably 5 or 6 who could be changed / swapping position.

Come on gas, need a big second half. It’s not beyond us to get back into this with the character and belief this squad has built. A couple of changes needed from JB at the break

Not enough quality so far.
Struggling to put passes together.
Hopefully see a different performance in second half.

Big regroup needed and probably a reshuffle.

Terrible first half. Plenty to play for in the second half.
Most frustrating footballing thing is that we’re so much better than this.
Most annoying non footballing thing is the idiot in charge of the replays. Let’s see some in play football ffs.

Long aimless ball after long aimless ball from Coutts, Connolly and Hoole that the Barnsley defence deal with easily. The most frustrating thing is that we have a talented midfield, we just need to use it!
Switched off for the first, but got to say the second was a very unlucky one to concede. Need to come out, retain the ball better in the second half and get Collins and Evans into the game more.

To be fair. Barnsley have been impressive.
We are off the pace.
Commanding central defender would help.
Still adjusting to loss of Connor.

Their game plan to attack us with pace and their high press has resulted in us playing hoof ball. We're farting around at the back with three or four passes, getting frustrated because were not getting up the pitch and the result is long balls mainly in the air that they are dealing with easily. Can't see anyway of getting back into this unless there is a miraculous improvement by every player.

Any chance it will be abandoned with the rain?!

I know it sounds ridiculous, but we're still in this somehow. No team can keep up that pace for 30 minutes nevermind the entire half and that showed.
We need to change our shape and make a few subs and we can get back into this and steal a point.
We're badly missing wingers though, not having a winger by the 4th game of the season is pretty embarrassing tbh

Aweful first half.
Just seem to be lumping it forward alot and not getting any joy and we're not,especially how wet the pitch is. Their midfield seem to be winning the biggest battle on the pitch as we keep on trying to get it down the channels then just goes out of play.
We have 5 subs and may aswell make a couple at HT as imo no point in sending out the same team with the same shape

Awful half. We look like Oxford on Saturday, not at the races at all!

Get Marquis off. Lazy. Showed signs of laziness on Sat too. Hoole did his best early on to help Barnsley but is finally improving. Finley will get a red.
