Is the reserve goalie, Young is it? still actually there and on the payroll? From what I've heard he will never play for Town, seems a waste of a wage. Played the friendlies? Perish the thought, but what if Savin gets injured |

Same as always I’d imagine - plenty of boos, but nothing aimed towards the chairman who is slowly killing the club. You are wrong , block 19 was anti town for most of the game , as was most of the chants I could hear in the west stand Hurst got zero mentions , almost all chants were aimed at the chairman by name I just hope potential buyers were not in attendance , our fans are enough to scare anyone off Oh I see it's the fans who are at fault now for scarring off investment! So when it all falls through it will be the fans fault! That's even if the CEO was telling the truth and there even is a buyer... |

Completely disagree as usual, our fans deserve better and are remarkably tolerant of dross. We’ve been badly let down by the club for a while now and deserve to be heard. Amen. It’s the weakest (in terms of anger) and easiest fanbase to keep happy. The atmosphere at other clubs can be toxic very quickly. I’m glad that’s not us, but even when it is, it’s still a minority and never prolonged. |

As per my first post on the thread, the team selection was just odd. We had no attacking threat whatsoever. Barnsley didn't have to get out of first gear and still could have won by 3 or 4.
It may well have not been a corner for the first goal, but to use that as an excuse is pretty thin. We had chances to still deal with it comfortably. Looked like they had some pretty strong penalty claims too from holding at corners in the first half.
2nd goal is just poor defending. We don't switch on after half time. My view was that it was a better finish than Pughy earlier on is giving credit for, wouldn't attach too much blame to Savin.
Another game where the subs have made zero impact after coming on.
Ground seemed so flat and just expecting a defeat. Looking forward to Birmingham being the next team into town in the league

Next 4 all away, Salford (FA Cup), Burton, Walsall (Trophy), Reading, before Birmingham |

Just looking at the starting XI today and I'm really not sure how well they'd even do at league two, never mind league one. forget about league two , this useless lot would struggle in the national league. |

I've never seen a team with less fight than we have after being behind 2nd half. sadly very true, they showed absolutely no urgency. most are not fit to wear a town shirt. bizarre team selection . i cant remember if Sagoe was on the bench but O`Reilly was a player with pace to burn who could have unsettled Barnsley did not play. Hurst has not got a clue. |

Looking forward to Birmingham being the next team into town in the league A keeper should never be beaten at his near post from a shot at that angle. He more than redeemed himself but he will be very disappointed in that goal. |

What was the reaction like at full time? Feels like after months of lethargic resignation at our plight today's marked a turning point towards active dissent on here towards Hurs, would be curious to hear if that was replicated at the ground. Same as always I’d imagine - plenty of boos, but nothing aimed towards the chairman who is slowly killing the club. There was a fair bit of anti-Roland chanting/singing as the game dragged on... at one stage he was applauding when one chant was going on but that could have been coincidental... |

I just seen Ipswich's opening goal on match of the day, reminded me of a free kick we had yesterday, having launched the previous 2 from similar spots aimlessly towards Nsiala who didnt win them we tried a quick pass in an attempt to split the defence and put us 1 on 1, I liked the idea, something different, fantastic when it comes off, however it was slightly misplaced and got cut out
now in the west stand it was received like news that the world will end in 3 minutes, fickle doesnt even despribe some fans actions
by the way the Ipswich effort was also a terrible ball, luckily for Ipswich terrible defending and a bit of luck helped
get a grip town fans, baying for blood every time a play gets broken down is just cringeworthy to see
there are a few of fans who need strait jackets and ball gags, a shot of valium and counselling ;-)

That Ojo set piece, regardless of its intentions, was completely embarrassing at the end of a string of terrible set pieces. It deserved all of the derision it got.

There were so many woeful performances today that it’s difficult to single out anyone who actually played well. But actually thought Bloxham played well in the 2nd half today, beating his man every single time and at least getting a cross in. Savin also made some good saves to keep it respectable. Nurse was also ok considering he’s coming back from being in the wars. Perry, Rossiter & Ojo were all really poor and that’s the crux of the problem. Hurst simply has to use the young loan players. We have no spark. Everything is industrial, functional and stoic. Quite frankly I’m bored. We need outlets and some pace and a few raw players to create chances, win free kicks and increase our possession. Feeney, Gillead and Bloxham(only just) are the only ones who can be slightly satisfied with their performance today. Lloyd would have been my MOTM if it was not for the constant unneeded offsides that just killed any chance of a town attack. There number 17 ran Gilliead ragged. Gilliead didn't stop a single cross from entering the penalty box. I've was told yesterday from a very old friend of mine, who knows a mate of Gilliead that Gilliead himself can't believe he's playing in league one. He admits himself that he's a league 2 player. |

The set piece was comical. If it was in isolation, nobody would’ve said a word, but it wasn’t. It summed up the total hopelessness we all had to endure. |

It summed up the total hopelessness we all had to endure. its a shame the moans are not in isolation, right from the kick off there are moans if any of our players dare to hold onto the ball for longer than 0.5 seconds without them either attempting a cultured cross field pass to the feet on an unmarked forward or pulling off a remarkable shot, and if they ever dare to pass the ball backwards then imaginary rotten tomatoes are thrown at them, some fans then go into a seizure until they are comforted and helped back to their seats by worried friends |

He more than redeemed himself but he will be very disappointed in that goal. You're doing him a disservice. Savin is in an OK position until Toto gets totally squared up and let's Watters go inside onto his left foot and take an early snap shot. Opens up the angle to drag it into the corner. Not your normal "near post" angle that you would fully expect to save. Had Toto kept him going onto his right foot, the angle is much tighter. TV "pundits" make that lazy comment every time a goal goes in that side. Savin may be disappointed not getting down to it, I would be having played in goal for best part of 30 years (gulp), but to say he should be saving it is harsh. In the category of could be saving. More blame on M Feeney and Toto |

From what I've heard he will never play for Town, seems a waste of a wage. Why will he never play for us? That's just what someone had mentioned to me who was mates with someone on the staff, no idea why not but it seems odd to bring him in if that's the mentality. |
