Oi oi
Fletcher with a wondergoal 2-2. Amass wins a long ball and gets the ball to Fletcher who takes it on his chest, turns around and sends it over the keeper into the top corner from 25 yards
Great turnaround! 
great hit
What the feck was that
Fans in good voice - fair play
Now we ARE playing well
3-2 Fletcher - a short throw over a few defenders, and he hammers it into the near corner. But my God that was bad defending
Wow, what about that then...mental.
Fletcher 2!
3-2 reds
Fletcher again

Incredible!
Hope we can hold out now for a great comeback win.

Barnsley have been utter shit

Oof red card
O'Keefe sent off for something he did to Amass off the ball. Camera missed it
Fantastic second half. Fletcher with a ridiculous equaliser
Started poorly ended great. Fantastic comeback and great cameo from Fletcher
Great result. And a fantastic comeback way to win it with 3 late goals.
Barnsley has been so poor overall. Good start of his U21s career for Jack Fletcher. He will be important there this season.
Weird that we look like suddenly remembering how to play football after conceding.

Fans are unbelievable by the way. Can't say I watch the other EFL Trophy games but I doubt any other of the academy sides come close to that level of support.
Was thinking the same. Great travelling support.
The never say die attitude is something the senior team needs more of.
Cheers for posting this. What a hit for that second one.
The senior team that won with a late goal the other night
Thanks.
Only saw these highlights but looked like had a lot of chances in the second half? What was the Barnsley team… all full pros or a mix of first team and reserves?
Cracking goals!
On a side note...couldn't we have given De ligt 45-60mins to get him up to speed?

Reserves and youth. They had a 15 year old starting
1st time seeing Amass play for 90mins. Huge prospect but definitely not ready for the 1st team just yet.
Big lads then? (not the 15 year old)
One 15 year old does not make a youth side. Their average age was 23.5, 8 of their starting 11 were 20 or older. 7 are 23 or older. Majority of their starting XI is in their prime.
Thats good to hear.
He is too good for U21s. He genuinely was everywhere on the pitch and his midfield partner Devaney had a poor game. Would genuinely be perfect on loan if we didn't need him to fill in for our ongoing injury concerns
That is very good to hear.
I watched the highlights and the first and second goals were both high quality. But Fletcher needs to be banned from ever attempting a knee slide again. Those were both atrocious!
We were one of 3 P.L clubs that won before penalties yesterday (Everton and Fulham also won)
Spurs won on penalties, Brighton and City lost on penalties
West Ham, Leicester and Palace all lost their games
The remaining clubs play today or next week

Everton won thanks to two goals from Beto & an assist from Lindstrom, two senior players signed for big money.
Lindstrom is on loan. Both need fitness minutes though.
How did Tyler Fredricson do?? Been out for a long time but was previously impressed by him
One of the more shaky players defensively - but considering how long he has been out that is perhaps not so strange.
