Yes but then we had a team of quality players capable of holding their own in the Championship. Not convinced by this team. Most of them bang average and don't look like improving at the minute
I've been watching Barnsley over 40 years and I've seen us promoted just 5 times so it's rare in itself I'd suggest what happened 3 seasons ago is a once in a lifetime experience but probably much rarer than I doubt many clubs have seen anything similar in terms of such a drastic change of form in such a short space of time and keeping that going all the way to a cup and promotion. When we were promoted in 79 we were 4th and in the promotion places on 22nd December 78. In 1980 we were 2nd. In 96 we were top of the table. And in 05 we were 5th. 15/16 was very much the exception as in each of our other promotion seasons we were occupying pretty much the same position just before Christmas as we were at season end. Winning automatic promotion from our current position wouldn't be as dramatic a turn in fortune as 3 years ago, but I think the playoffs are far more realistic. And it's not just historical data that makes me think so, I don't think we're good enough.
Lets just resign ourselves to League 2 folks. Let everyone connected with the club go, and just appoint Conan as player/manager, chairman and one man starting XI. We should be Champions of Europe in 3 year. Christ
You need to learn to of live in the moment instead of a world of maybes and what ifs. I remember very few saying that when we were 21st.
Where will we be if we lose the next one though? That’s what we should all focus on. This is why the board is dying! Celebrating wins and supporting the club. Booo. White knights. Booo.
Yep, I always spend my life not enjoying the win but worrying about the upcoming game that we’ll probably lose.
To be fair tho mate you do seem to be a tad negative, you could have said we could go sixth if we wini but you do seem to gravitate towards the negative,
