We set off like an express train and should have been a couple up within the first 15mins. Don't quite know what happened then but the wheels just literally fell off the bus. we huffed and puffed the rest of the game and apart from a short succession of goalmouth scrambles in the second half we did very little. On the other hand I didn't think we ever looked like losing so 0-0 was probably fair.
Was very disappointed with Barrow, I thought they were a dirty niggly side who got away with murder and were lucky to have 10 men on the pitch at the end. Their no 9 jumped up with high elbows repeatedly and only got booked for kicking the ball away. Sam Hird had a good steady game and still looks class though.
For us Shaw was just hacked down every time he got the ball and in the first half the ref ignored everything but seemed to get a better grip in the second but it was a bit late then.
The ref missed a blatant pen when their keeper hauled down a player in the box just as he was about to shoot (don't know who it was) and Denton was repeatedly held down at set pieces but that seems to be the norm at this level.
I dont know whats happened to Rowley, he seems to be going backwards. Kiwomya was poor today but Holis was just shocking. Jalal showed us why he may not have featured in MA's teams as his distribution was dreadful. Don't think he had a save to make all game though.
First game I have seen under Sheridan. One thing I just don't understand is why play Denton on his own up top then repeatedly lob long balls to his head for him to flick onto who exactly with nobody anywhere near him?
Not a good game to watch and I hope to god its not a sign of things to come but I'm not holding my breath.
