Kim should never have come off, it's not as if he was struggling and he again looked great on the ball and was tenacious in defence. Mutch too was fantastic and those 2 look great together.

Barnsley rode their luck as they did against Palace and can think themselves very lucky not to be dead and burried by the time we actually managed to score.

If Helguson had put that one on one away - and make no mistake about it, he should have - then we would've won 2-0 and everyone would be talking about how well we played and we would be on the brink of promotion.

Well done Barnsley for not giving up, they so obviously came for the draw and only decided to attack when they had no other option. I've heard people say we sat back when we conceded the goal, but the truth is Barnsley started attacking, people have to remember there are two teams in a game of football, not just Cardiff City!

Onwards to Forest and then Charlton, regardless of that injury time equaliser we're still in an enviable position and I'm still confident we'll get the job done in the next couple of games.

This just about sums up my feelings too. Thanks for saving me the effort.

I agree with most of what you say except for the highlighted part. Barnsley set themselves up to defend and keep a clean sheet and come away with a point. They didn't even seem to have enough ambition to try to get a goal on the break - i think they went out looking for a 0-0 and changed their gameplan when we scored.

Of course under those circumstances Barnsley were going to cause more problems and get more possession than earlier as they then sought to get an equaliser. None of that excuses a club sitting at the top of the table aiming for Premier league football next season playing a 9-0-1 formation and resorting to aimlessly booting the ball upfield and waiting around the penalty box for the ball to come back again.

I can take us coming under more pressure and not having things our own way towards the end. I can't take the way the team and presumably Malky reacted to that pressure by stopping playing football or even trying to keep possession.
