Dropping the points isn't the end of the world, I agree and it could turn out to be a very good point at the end of the season. I just don't think we've put out our best team and I don't think we've had many games when we've been set out balanced and that is frustrating. I agree about Guthrie but I would like to see him play more through the middle rather than out of position on the wing. I don't understand the reason behind dropping Lovenkrands although I understand why Shola didn't start. A midfield of Smith, Butt and Nolan is s*** and I don't care how many goals Nolan scores, he does very little as a midfielder who should be running our game. He does come into his own and gets into the box as well as any midfielder has done here since Rob Lee or Gary Speed played for us, but when he's in with the others we're overrun far too often and against poor teams. Hughton setting out our team reminds me of our time under Allardyce when we went to Derby, at least he was doing it in the Premiership against better opposition. I think a more adventurous manager would have done better with these players in this league. Why give Carroll a game today when after what he’s done? It’s not as if he’s in a rich vein of form, he heads a ball and it’s impossible to work out where it’s going to go so he’s going to give it to the opposition as often as not but that’s minor when compared to our midfield.

We're going to drop points at some time and at least we didnt get beat. The form of Barnsley over the last 10 games is higher than 9th too since they changed their manager. Could have won it on another day but could also have lost it if Harewood hadnt got that second goal. Sense of perspective required. When I said 9th I should have added bottom to that. This game was just like so many before, our midfield is overrun on a regular basis and we started the game with Smith, Butt and Nolan which has as much pace as a two legged dog which puts us under so much pressure.

I'm over the moon that we've managed to take a point from the high flying Barnsley who started the day in 9th position.

It could have been Cole, she's on tele soon.

I must be listening to a different station.

It's the camels back, not it's neck.

I'm surprised he didn't start in midfield.

Keep up man, we're winning.

I didn't expect that.

We're not going to win every game, at least we could try to do so.

We're deluded for thinking we should be doing better against Barnsley?

Our shit midfield is being overrun and we're not reacting.

The fans are shouting "Attack, Attack, Attack attack attack."

I think others have more to do with the result than you, you're way down the list.

We've asked for that.

Yes, we're on the back foot for a change.

Last game in March.

I'd rather have the points in the bag.

If the results stay the way they are now then we'll be 17 points ahead of Blackpool in 7th, 12 points ahead of Forrest in 3rd and 10 points ahead of 2nd placed WBA.

Real Radio have it on.

That didn't take long.

Have they plugged in the HDMI lead?

We're top of the league because the other teams are shit and we're slightly better than them. If this league was tougher or we didn't have players who were better than the opposition then Hughton would have looked like he is, a poor manager.

We'll probably still get away with it because we've got better players, I doubt the travelling fans are going to be too happy with it.
