Barkhuisen doing well again

I get the joke of course but there is a serious side. Every time Sibley plays, the chap sitting next to me makes some comment about how long it will be before he is booked. I have to keep reminding him that Sibley has matured a lot since his bad old days and is no more likely to get booked than any other player.

Sibley hasn't necessarily done anything wrong. After Saturday Warne himself suggested a back 3 was restricting our attacking ability.
So when choosing the back four for Charlton  he moved Cashin to LB  so as to still find a place for Bradley . Bradley  seems to be Warne's flavour of the month and Warne still needs to show us all that Bradley was a good signing.

This seems to ignore the situation were were in when signing Gayle. Warne's failure to find injury cover for Collins left us in a dire situation. Gayle seems to have been the best of a not good range of options. Hard to use his Stoke time as an indicator since as a Stoke supporting friend tells me, Stoke have serially failed under a long sequence of many failed managers. 
But the worst thing about your post is you are not giving Gayle a fair chance if you try to draw conclusions so early - it usually takes time for players to adjust to a new team, and its not like we are playing well at the moment. Its like you have made your mind up already. 

Blinkered view. So nothing to do with Warnes coaching or the style of play he demands. We lost the passing game when Rosenior was ditched and it has to be said that some of Warne's incoming players struggle to pass effectively

Another miserable performance following a typical Warne script

What is all this about a good first half. Terrible first half, just by chance we happened to score. Good football in the first 7 minutes without creating a chance does not make a good half. Also I would expect to be 1-0 up at HT against the most out of form team in the division, the first half was far from good.

I’d go 
Wildsmith
Nyambe, Nelson, Cash, Elder
Adams, Bird, Thompson
NML, Gayle, Barkhuizen
Cant see Warne going for the above though. 
 
Harsh on Bradley who’s looking decent in recent weeks but I don’t see what a back 5 offers. Our wingbacks aren’t potent enough to justify having the extra central defender.

If we get there  the players WILL have deserved it. Anyway surely top 2 is still our target

A back 3 of Nelson Bradley and Cashin aint the quickest, and  Barnsley's movement up front was quick. So when they sent the ball forwards  they easily caused us problems .   To play a back 3 we dropped Nyambe -a good defender. Wilson was much better after the substitutions playing further forward. Your argument ignores the benefit of having another player further forwards. This is third recent match when we had to make the switch to a back 4. Warne is too cautious.

Another assist for the much maligned  Hourihane. 2 good corners.
