Barnsley Take Two

As Barnsley take two points from United its a far cry from last season where a draw would have given us some comfort in the fact we weren't beaten, however after 7 straight wins in the championship united fans may indeed feel a little upset as our run of wins comes to an end. We did lead the game twice but both times Barnsley hit back with goals from Hallfredsson 52, Hassell 87. The united faithfull took over 7,000 fans to Oakwell giving them there best gate this season and probably there cup final. Nolan back after suspention carried on where he left off by slotting the ball home after 6mins to give us the advantage and his 10th goal this season and that was about it for first half action. Early in the second Barsley grabbed one back after persistant attacks by throwing what they could into the box. Pancrate and Carroll both missed good chances in the second half and both wingers looked knee deep in shit all day. Style of play was direct from Steven Taylor to Andy Carroll though the United fans did get something to cheer as Harewood grabbed another goal with 12 minutes remaining on the clock only for Barnsley to grab an equaliser 3 mins from time. A fair score at 2-2 keeps us top of the pile and 8 points clear till at least Monday evening when West Brom play QPR.
