Dudley started strong and unlucky not to score in the first few minutes with a bunch of corners.
Once barnsley got into the game they started to look really good and even control the match. The red card came soon after and Dudley pushed on to score 2 quick goals before half time.
Second half Barnsley were brave, like you said and worked really hard to stay in the match.
It is difficult to gauge Barnsley from that performance as they were dominated early, came back into it then lost a man. If anything, i took out that they are going to work hard and make it difficult for teams.
Dudley really are one to beat, they are quality. Not much more needs to be said.

Reserve grade was some game! Red cards, a big come back, some interesting reffing and plenty of feeling for a round 1 match from two teams who seemed a very high standard for reserve grade.
