Looked like Gayle to me

Shame that was offside

Really nice one touch move to get us up the park, shame Barks couldn’t get his touch round the defender

Lordy the amount of bird s**** on that tarp canopy 🤢

Gayles movement really is a cut above

Barnsley losing

Hope I’m wrong but I worry we’re going to need that extra player in midfield and not defence with Bird out

Much easier to copy old Ben. Why is Gayle poo?

Hmmmmm. Did the job and got the three points which is all that matters. Performance wasn’t the greatest, against one of the poorest teams we’ve seen at home. Ward and Sibleys performances were big positives, Gayle got an goal and we created more chances than the last few games combined. Bit concerned about the isolation of Gayle though. Playing three CB’s means we haven’t got an attacking midfielder to work around him and link the midfield and attack leaving him feeding off scraps which isn’t his game. Against better teams this will be an even bigger issue, we need to work out how to utilise his talents better. Big couple of weeks coming up, hopefully we can keep improving!

Bradley got lucky there made a hash of it twice

Nice cross from CBT bird miss kicks and chance is gone

Not sure about that offside against CBT, looked like he accelerate past the defenders

Hourihane is going to replace him

Adams goes down after bursting down the wing. Hope that’s not serious

Who’s this mysterious man coming onto the pitch?

Goal scorer Gayle off for Wags

confidence too

Nice control and finish from Sibs

Warning shot there. Take note Derby

HT 2-0 Good score line in what’s been a strange half. We started well created a few good chances. Then PV’s keeper goes down and they change their shape and take control of the game with us being slow to react as usual, luckily we sucker punched them to give us a bit of breathing room. We should be taking this lot to the cleaners, they are seriously poor!

Boooooooooooom Gayle header from a lovely Adams cross

Don’t temp him, he loves a good poohousing

Gayle is looking very isolated, we just don’t have the players around him to utilise his talents.

Good defending from Bird cuts out the danger. That back 3 is looking very shaky at the moment
