Went to the game tonight. Fans were in good voice for the most part but became pretty frustrated in the second half. This was my first away trip since Hull but I've been to every home game so far.

Weird performance first half, started absolutely terribly and could have been two nil down but for some good saves by Roos. Took the lead with a decent goal and looked in no real danger up until they scored, though we weren't really threatening ourselves. Forsyth was rightly hooked at HT, at fault for the goal and struggled to do just about anything right. Our attacking threat was lacking largely IMO due to a lack of cohesion between strikers, midfield and fullbacks. This was also a large problem for Byrne defensively as Baldock was basically playing as a right winger but wasn't closing space or following runners.

Second half was near total rubbish unless you love seeing the ball played sideways with no urgency. Terrible free kick conceded by Buchanan who held on to the ball forever and dragged their man down after he was dispossessed. I might be wrong on this but to me it looked like he dropped deeper than the rest of the defensive line and played their player onside, before the ball was played over for their goal. How the guy was totally free though was ridiculously poor. We then proceeded to do nothing until Ebosele came on and took their defenders on. The only players even looking half alert were Bird and Knight before that. Aside from the obvious slow build up to nothing, it was painful how little movement there was from players to actually receive the ball. We play sideways so often because barely anyone moves to give the man on the ball a different option. Buchanan had to score at the end IMO, totally free header. I was delighted to see him come on, mostly because Forsyth was so bad, hindsight says I should not have got my hopes up.

Overall it was pretty rubbish. Barnsley were not particularly good, definitely better than Hull were but about on par with Forest under Hughton in the draw at home. Our problem is that we deserved to lose tonight. This paper thin squad is definitely being exposed now, we simply don't have the quality to consistently create and finish chances and our once reliable defence is creaking under the pressure manufactured by the inadequacies of those ahead of them. At this rate I'll have to get my abacus out for our games after the international break.
