Ward's ball for the goal was superb. His quick thinking is a major boon to our attack. Barnsley getting into their groove at the end, hopefully we'll get a quickfire second and hold on
Thank god its half time!!... Barnsley were slowly coming to life at long last and ended the half playing some lovely football, bet they didnt want that whistle being blown and believe that Bowyer needs to work something out to counter it in the second
So far has been a game typical of that QPR game a few years ago when Jackson got the winner - Barnsley are controlling the game yet for the majority havent done enough with it, we've attacked in spells and maybe deserve a second.
Defensively there has always been someone there to clear the last ball but fear everyone at the back is getting sucked over only for the ball to be played out to the right meaning Solly has to scamper over to deal with it.
Lovely assist from Jamie Ward for the goal though which I initially thought had gone wide
Referee appears to have continued on from the Peterborough game, giving Chris Solly a yellow card for nothing more than a shoulder barge so must be pissed off with the fact that Solly spoke out after that game describing him as useless
Good first half, both sides passing the ball around nicely.
Our defence looks more solid compared to the Coventry game. Super Joe has been a star in midfield, Taylor has worked his nuts off, Karlan scored a great goal.
Steer has made an excellent save from a Barnsley free kick but other than that our goal hasn't been threatened. Barnsley have created plenty of openings but good defending and shit shooting has left Steer with not much to do. Will we be so fortunate in the second half though?
Apart from the goal the main talking point has been the ref. If you thought his performance in the Posh game was a one-off he's proved today that he really is that awful. He completely ignored the push on Karlan just outside the box when he was clean through on goal and has followed that with a series of bewildering decisions in the remainder of the half.
I fully expect a Charlton red card and Barnsley penalty in the second half, hopefully we'll have scored an insurance goal or two first.

First time seeing Steer, Cullen and Ward today. Steer has made one good save but hasn’t really been tested. Couple of questionable bits of distribution but mostly average. Cullen is very industrious and hasn’t stopped running. Ward, you can see the quality and I love a moaner but it’s not quite coming off for him so far aside from the assist but he had to do that after the great work from Taylor. Fine goal from Mr Grant and gorgeous sunshine, it’s got 1-2 written all over it though

Agree RE: Ward... Hasnt been passing great since the assist yet feels more thats because our players arent anticipating a few of the passes he's done rather than them being poor

Attempt missed. Cameron McGeehan (Barnsley) right footed shot from the centre of the box misses to the right.
Need to learn how to kill games off.
Corner, Barnsley. Conceded by Anfernee Dijksteel.

We need to score at least 1-2 more to win this i think.

Dijksteel is having a very strong game at RB.
More of the same in the second half lads! #cafc
