I can't believe you still go to home games Pepe, your life will improve significantly when you knock that on the head.

I hate the negativity on the board, however I do feel that tonight it is warranted.

I only stayed the first half (pre-planned due to work commitments), but honestly I was quite relieved to leave. It was probably the most boring and poor game I've seen all season at the Madstad.

Obita okay, rest were pretty awful.

Drenthe seems to have gone a bit backwards from his recent performances. Seems to want to hit everything as hard as he can rather than playing it.

I have no idea what the oxf*rd Gorkks was on.

Blackman didn't offer anything and I don't get why McCleary was played on the left. Surely that just weakens both flanks? Play Blackman on the left (he'll be shit whatever side he plays) and keep McCleary on the right where he is dangerous.

Pog looks like he needs a couple of games to get back to where he was.

And Feds in between the sticks for next game, Alex seems to have got worse and wose as the season limps on.

Adkins? Not impressed, doesn't seem to know how to beat shit teams, and doesn't seem able to change things when it isn't working.

Mccarthy 3 distribution was terrible, looked shaky for the simplest of passes. Even a hoof or two would have been suffice

gunter 4 looked rushed. Barnsley wingers did a good job to pressure the full backs. Poor choice of passing tonight

obita 4 as above

pearce 5 tried hard, but so did the fat kid in P.E. Poor heading and composure.

gorkss 1 absolutely fukcing terrible. The corner he gave away was an absolute joke

akpan 5 one of 2 players with the smallest hint of passing ability tonight. Often turned into trouble but looked strong and fairly composed

mcanuff 3 NOT a CM. Looked totally lost for 95% of the game. Absolute horseshit.

mccleary 2 one decent run, anonymous the rest of the game

blackman 1 this guy is a professional? Offered nothing

drenthe 4 only player with any real talent in our team right now, but was hardly on the ball

pog 5 worked hard but generally poor.

Gorks pass across defence that he ended up hoofing out for a corner was worth the entrance fee alone! :lol:

peterroyal76 Not one player emerged with any credit from that tonight.


Their number 22 at CB. He was good, had our entire offence in his pocket.

I don't normally bother with the whole ratings thing but I will today because it's easy

Everyone 0

It all starts with that chump Adkins though. People can cry about him being promised stuff but our squad has some decent players who he can't coach to win a game against empirically the worst side in the division. First one out of the door even when we improbably win the playoffs

windermere_royal ... I`m dreading the thought of Leicester and Burnley coming here


Strangely, they may be the home games we have the most chance in. It seems the players have developed a mental block about home matches that we're expected to win.

Mind you, we're not the only ones. The Champ was full of odd results tonight -it happens every year at this stage of the season. The team who can conquer their nerves will probably be the one that goes up. The other results have given the players another chance to get it right. Let's hope they're men enough to take it.

that was truly terrible. Second half, I couldn't even by bothered to moan it had got so bad.

Just about had Akpan as MOTM (for what it's worth in that performance). Got absolutely no help in midfield.

Gunter must be about as thick as two short planks. Did he even know which way we were shooting?

We were shlte and it was bastard cold, but checking out the other results around us, we got out of jail.

Feds needs a run out as McCarthys game has dipped alarmingly over recent weeks. Royston is our main threat, and given some shooting practice, he should come good.

It pains me to say it, but Akpan stood out above the mediocrity.

Think tonight will be my last game of the season. Will report back on my life improvements as the weeks go on. Might even get E-P to help me do a graph.

At least Adkins didn't try to gloss over how bad it was in his post-match with Dellor. But he's got to take some stick too - why, oh why did he have McCleary on the left all game? Just took him out of the game (and Obita as well as he looked uncomfortable not having McAnuff in front of him)

That was absolute dogshit from everyone. Gorkks had a howler.

Our fans were embarrassing.

Stop only cheering Alf, he's been shit.

Fair play to any Barnsley fans who turned up. Two class goals from them too.

Good result tonight....we just need to make sure we scrape together a few more draws & losses to make sure we avoid the play-offs.

We just cannot risk being in the play-offs....knowing our luck we'll probably win them!!

Championship football next year please......
