didn't think we we looked much different on Saturday than under Roeder

we've bossed 85% of the games at Carra this season as much as we bossed Saturday's.

Only difference was that on Saturday the other team gifetd us some easy chances and we took them. Under Roeder we managed to miss most of our chances and our defenders invariably bumbled about and made elementary individual errors which meant we didn't get the result our overall play deserved. The individual cock-ups at either end didn't happen on Saturday so we got a better result but tactically and team selection-wise (i.e. the things the manager controls) we were no better.

I could probably have managed us to a win on Saturday because Barnsley were the worst team we have seen here all season (no pace, no creativity and hopeless disorganised defending)
