Of all football league clubs who didn't go up or down last season Barnsley saw the 5th biggest decline in points over the previous season - a 29.3% decline putting us 65th, only the Pigs, Stoke, Fleetwood Town and Reading suffered a steeper decline in points. Yes, it was that bad.
Simple int it.. Sell decent players, bring in lesser players. Never mind we're at a level now where we compete.. The Championship is defiantly a league too far for "the plan"
