Press Resistance/On Ball Ability: Standing at 6ft, Nwakali has a larger frame which he uses to his advantage. His on ball style is something I would best describe as Pogba-esque. This strength allows him to use his body to beat the press and advance the ball through the thirds.

To summarise: This is a player that had the world at his feet, one that doesn’t come around all too often for League 1 sides. Although it hasn’t worked out for him in his career so far, if we can as much as spark a glimmer of his past promise I think the team will reap rewards.

Probably one of my favourite moments from the game here. The way we set up here for the McAtee chance is what I expected to see all game. Connell and Phillips pushed up to provide a secondary press as Cole and McAtee close down the ball carrier the balls destination.

Hybrid Striker: The word that comes to mind when looking at Humphry’s is versatile. His larger stature allows him to hold off defenders, whilst still being surprisingly quick. He’s dual threat as both a back to goal striker, but also someone who can drive at opposition.

Probably the most interesting thing from Devaney’s presser today. As predicted yesterday there will be an emphasis on crossing. Shackles are off now so will be interesting to see how we set up with an approach that puts the game in our hands. Hopefully it results in 3 points🙏🏽

Russel or Hourihane would be put into the starting 11. Despite my belief that Russel has the assets to be a top midfielder at this level, I don’t see him as a starter for a side looking for promotion. Hourihane has undeniable quality, but does he have the legs to start?

We need this forward presence on Friday. Kane does brilliantly to pick out a poor pass from the keeper and McAtee again should be finishing the chance. On a different day this game could’ve had a much larger scoreline. Yet poor finishing inside the box has cost us 3 points.

A final quick note on his shooting. The lad looks like he’s got a rocket of a right foot. From what’s available online he doesn’t shy away from the shot if it opens up. He isn’t afraid to shoot from free-kicks either, creating chances from second balls. This is one example 👇🏼

If played alongside Phillips and Connell, it could see the pair have even more freedom to roam higher up the pitch, something that can yield a lot of positive attacking outcomes. We saw against Mansfield how productive Connell can be higher up the pitch.

His contract was terminated by the club after he refused to bow to the club’s pressure not to play in the tournament for his nation. Something which he deemed “the biggest honour of his life.” Life after Huesca has been fairly successful, with time in Spain and Portugal.

I wouldn’t expect a Barnsley side under Thalhammer to sit back and soak up pressure either. His Cercle side ranked 1st in Belgium for Possession won in the final third with an average of 6.9 per match. They boasted the 2nd highest physical output in Europe at the time as well.

One strength of the back 3 is its ability to stretch the pitch. The example here in the buildup to the first goal displays how the holding midfielder (Connell) and both wingback stagger Northampton’s press. This allows MDG more time and space to play a decisive diagonal pass.

There is no part of his game that doesn’t add to the Barnsley team in some way or another. I’d almost describe him as a mix between Phillips and Connel. His ability to carry the ball and progress through the thirds is second to none and his goal statistics speak for themselves.

With an overall 280 professional games and a goal and assist tally of 101, he’s a good contributor at this level of the game. A striker that doesn’t always guarantee goals, but supplies at a rate that guarantees production.

In the example here, nice interplay by Northampton results in a massive chance. It identifies a problem that has gone under the radar this season, our vulnerability down the right when Phillips is caught out of position. We can see here how stretched our back 3 becomes.

As mentioned in my pre-game thread, Northampton would always threaten through counter attacks. This is something we have to patch up before Bolton. A lazy pass turned into an attacking scenario instantly. Connell is caught too high and a line splitting pass catches us out.

With these two additions we have the strongest midfield in the league. My only issue is the disproportionate amount of talent we have in the middle - matched by the lack of depth and quality both up front and at the back. It’s clear that there is still business to be done.

I think this trait to have is vital for League 1, a division where a lot of emphasis is put on transitional play. With many teams opting for a system that employs wingbacks, I can see these kinds of passes completely breaking apart sides, stretching the pitch to our benefit.

Set Pieces/Shooting: From what I can gather he also seems to take a lot of his teams set pieces. Although Barnsley aren’t in need of a dead ball specialist, Kelechi appears competent when delivering a ball. Something that will come to be useful if other takers are off the pitch.

Who is Matthew Craig & what should Barnsley fans expect? (🧵) Matthew Craig was one of my favourite players from the 23/24 campaign, as you’ve probably seen on my timeline, I’ve raved about him & you’ll see why in this thread! Hope you enjoy… #BarnsleyFC 🔴

Keillor-Dunn has been one of my most desired signings throughout summer. Securing the signature of a man with 31 goal contributions last season gives us a huge boost in terms of attacking output. He was a star for Mansfield, and I’m confident he can replicate that form with us.

Within the current 3-4-1-2 system, our wingbacks are employed higher up the pitch. Keillor-Dunn’s ability to break through the middle of the pitch could see us unleashing much more dangerous attacks. Pressure is drawn to the middle, leaving our wide men space to drive.

Summary: Though a long process with many ups and downs, Davis Keillor-Dunn is a red. In my opinion this signing is huge for the club. His general linkup play, along with the goals he provides will come as a huge boost to the squad. I’m extremely excited to see him play in Red.

A goal like this is hard to analyse. It’s so poor on so many accounts. Slow to press once the keeper releases the ball (though I wouldn’t blame that on Jalo) No presence in the air allows a free header. Lazy, naive defending that cost us 2 points and a 5th place spot.

A Career Overview: With a total of 272 career appearances and 109 goal contributions, DKD is a player that can create goals from anywhere. Despite the majority of his minutes coming from League 2, I’m extremely sire that he’s a player ready to take the next step up with us.
