Taking in account the swirling wind, surprisingly firm pitch which gave all players problems in controlling them ball, the overall quality of the game was fair to good, and in parts; Town were very good.

Town did not start the game with any great levels of energy, but as the second half proved, the wind was a major factor in the game, but it was pleasing to see Town keep the ball 'on the deck' for much of the second half and for me, showed the potential that the team has to offer.

Barnsley's first goal was preventable as the scorer was given too much time and space and from my viewpoint in the East Stand (home supporters' area), Gerken was unsighted and not at fault for their second goal.

Town's goals were deserved, and whilst Barnsley could or should have added to their tally, Town on another day and with a wee bit more luck could have had four or five.

Too close; Nouble had a poor game (lack of control and poor making wrong decisions) and Tabb was industrious without any end results. MM's substitutions realised positive results and both Anderson and Green provided excellent movement of the ball and added momentum to the attacking qualities of the team.

Apart from the televised game and the away game at Bolton, yesterday was only the third game attended this season, and taking into account the swirling wind and surprisingly firm pitch which added to the difficult playing conditions, the overall quality of the game was reasonably fair to good in parts of

Due to travel and living in Cheshire, I attended my first Town game for over a year (last one was against Doncaster (0-6!) and cbower and MM summed-up the game correctly - not a great game and from a personal viewpoint; whilst a tedious game to watch, Town were the better side and created more goal scoring opportunities.

Overall, two average teams that lacked creativity and ability to retain the ball and move forward as a cohesive unit. Town hit too many long balls from defence that were immediately returned with the same end result from our hosts.

We should have the ability to construct moves from the back, but we seem to often to revert to the 'route one', but Bolton played the same style and I guess the onus is on both teams to produced a watchable game.

Agree with cbower's individual ratings; - thought Tabb's arrival gave a better balance to the midfield - more width and better passing game and Nouble added energy and pace to the front line and for me, he made a positive difference.

Please understand this is my first post match report and as I have only attended two games in over a year, I trust and hope that I am not seen as being too negative - we got a point!!
