  1. I agree r,e his inability to crash through a striker. Looking at his physique I was expecting no nonsense. Looks very to me that due to previous injury he is very tentative. I've been like this on returning from a long lay off. It takes time until you feel at ease with your body.

    I would stick him In u21s to get game time.

    On the face if it, it looks an absolute clanger by the recruitment team.

    The club and how it performs is very important to the vast majority of people. I speak probably for 80-90% of us on here that when we lose, it sticks in my throat. It impacts  my mood, therefore my interactions with people, it impacts my productivity, it impacts my concentration. It’s one of the biggest sources of frustration and irritation that I have to deal with in my life. Don’t get me wrong, it’s nice that’s all I have to really deal with, but that’s the reason for my negativity and most other peoples, I would guess.

    We haven’t really had any form of success in 4-5 years and now in League One, averaging over 27k a game, with a dominant commercial backing over everyone else, it looks like we’re massively short and from what we’re told unable to really do anything about it. I’m frustrated that we haven’t decided to at least attempt something longer term, with some good young players. You look at Reading and the s*** they’re in, but they still went out and got Smith, Knibbs and Savage - young(ish) players who they want to develop. We went with the more established pros who there is no long term vision for other than to get out of this league - unfortunately, if that doesn’t happen then we’re in a worse position due to the recruitment as we don’t have any resale value or a revenue stream out of our squad. That’s my frustration. 

    We have gambled and invested, fairly significantly, in promotion this season. Regardless of there being no fees, we’ve spent good wages on experienced players who are expected to get us out of this league. We may have been better signing younger players, similar to how most league one clubs go about their business. Six of Barnsley’s eight signings are 25 or under. Same with Bolton. One of our eight signings is 25 or under. Big difference. They’re safe guarding their future as best as possible in the transfer market, while we’ve thrown caution to the wind (again)!

    We have no money therefore we are shopping at Poundland

  3. Piss poor from Warne. 

    I've been hung out to dry by managers at work previously and it ends up with  you looking to move and stick 2 fingers up at them.

    If I were Clowes I would be having words.

    Don't forget that we are a big club in a small pool. Warne hasn't had to deal with tough times before (at a big club). Rotherham were always tin pot.

    Correct, only one game played, we played well enough but on the basis that we only scored one goal I'm not sure how we could have "easily won by two clear goals"? 

    It's looking increasingly likely that we won't get pace in. The market is absolutely flat. Even PL teams don't seem to be letting youngsters go out on loan. Teams who have relied heavily on loans in the past might struggle this year.

    Your point that you'd rather lose than win 5-0 is completely lost on me. I'll take the 5-0 win thanks. I'm sure the topic among Barnsley fans having beaten Port Vale 7-0 wasn't "I wish we'd lost".

    It clearly hasn't gelled straight away but I'm not worried. We played well enough in patches on Saturday to suggest we could have a good season. You wouldn't expect the defence to be collectively that poor again this season.

    People have gone over the top, but also I've seen some very valid constructive criticism that you clearly see as whining. 

     

     

     

    From what i saw (on hols at mo) Forsyth should have scored a second, Collins missed 1 he should have buried and Sonny missed an absolute sitter.

    4-2 with accounting for 2 decent chances of their own (minus the bloopers) would have been my take.

    What exactly is it that you're so upset that people are "whining" about?

    Haven't seen anybody get too upset about our chances of going up this season but I have seen some absolutely fair criticism of a manager who has been in charge since last September.
