My view on today. First half awful Barnsley had enough chances to be at least 2 goals to the good. We looked like the team who had lost 8 league games in a row. Saying that the finish for the first goal was quality, although I think it took a deflection.
At one nil down the the fans kept on singing until half time, when half time arrived there was a few boos which was understandable. Yet again at home we looked second best.
In the second half we was more positive although not creating to many clear chances. The fans still making a decent atmosphere, at this point I said to a couple of friends after the recent digs at the fans and their chanting, how many home teams would still have this type of backing after the home performances we have seen?? We have all been to away games where when we as the away team are winning and the home fans are silent. At latics this does not happen.
Any way after the goal for us the game was there for the taking, when Higdon come on he won everything in the air yet no one was willing to take a chance and push on. I get the impression when we are on the front foot we a scared of taking that chance.
To be honest i missed Barnsleys second chatting to some one next to me, am told it was bad defending.
I came away from a home game yet again questioning why I dont just go away games, I enjoy them alot more.
