Agree, comfortable win.
Drameh doesn't do the basics of defending right.
Sommerville and Sinisterra were both lively. I think Sommerville could be a
star - think better than Sterling.
Geldhart doesn't look fit to me. He did great for the 3rd goal but overall his
first touch was awful and he never really contributed.
A word for Struijk, who apart from one wayward pass, was commanding albeit
against 3rd rate opposition but he's definitely growing into that role and I
think it is one that is more suited tohim than centre back.
Greenwood didn't figure much and Forshaw made a couple of bad mistakes but on
the whole I thought he was ok.
Klich was probably MOTM with his to goals and a lot of good interplay although
not everything came off.
It was just good to see us comfortably beat opposition like this because we
normally make a pig's ear over games like this.

Hard to tell with Drameh yesterday - for a start he hardly saw the ball in the
second half - but in the first his control and passing was good, his positional
play OK, he is quick, and needed to be a couple of times, he just seemed
strangely to lose concentration at times. Worth another go.
Hjelde didn’t really notice much of - except for one glaring duck out of an
aerial challenge, which I know is odd for him because I’ve seen him clatter
through them before.
Liked Sommerville and Sinisterra a lot yesterday - I think it make James’ place
in the squad more tenuous. Sinisterra has a 0-60 that is scary and was involved
in all 3 goals.
Gelhardt was trying (too hard?) and stuff wasn’t quite happening for him.
Forshaw and Greenwood showed why they are only on the fringes of the first team
- although I do think Greenwood has a bright future. Klich looked a cut above
in this company.
Cooper was mostly solid, but no more than that - I don’t think man v man he is
a better player than Llorente, Koch or Struijk - Pascal had another good game
at left back.
We were comfortable, mostly - Barnsley were neat and aggressive (in the right
way), had a good charge at us in the opening 10 minutes, then we got on the
ball, scored our couple of goals - then Barnsley could have really got back
into is coming up to half time, scoring one and having a penalty save (nice one
Meslier). Their goal was soft from our point of view - a free kick chipped over
to the tallest guy, who slid in and nodded home from 6 yards out at the back
post, unmarked.
