Barnsley v. West Bromwich Albion (10 Dec) [R]

[DevilDave]

Albion travel to Barnsley to play in front of the Sky cameras on Sunday afternoon.

The Tykes are near the bottom of the Championship, but are just 10 points below us. They are the type of team we need to thrash if we hope to get anywhere in this division. Good performances are nothing without goals and the points that follow.

I was unable to get up early enough for the match Sunday, but I watched a replay of the match on Setanta. Cracking goal from Koumas, but it was tough to see Barnsley level so quickly... and just as tough to see us squander so many chances in the second half to go a goal ahead and claim all three points at Oakwell.

He hasn't been horrible, but I'm beginning to think having Hoult in goal is only a slight improvement over Zuberbuhler.
