For the most part, we've played some wonderful football, scored plenty of goals (spread out amongst a number of players), along with the meanest defence in the league. There's been a few blips on the way and I dare say there'll be some more. But under this Head Coach I believe the club's moving in the right direction. I was sad to see both Bradshaw & Potts depart (although it took club record fees from the purchasing clubs to get their target), Moncur less so. However, George showed himself to be a real class act as a man for what he did for the extremely sick little girl from Dodworth, inspite of the ultimately tragic conclusion. On the other hand, Dougall, Woodrow & Bahre (after an understandably slow start) have proved to be excellent signings. I hope the like of Styles & Green continue this trend. In all my seasons of supporting Barnsley, this is the first one after being relegated (1972, 1998, 2002 and 2014) where we've been involved in a promotion push in the following campaign. I hope we achieve our goal this term.
Didn't we get to the Wembley play off straight after coming down from the prem? Not wanting to disagree with you otherwise but I enjoyed that one.
We've really clicked into gear since the Portsmouth game and played consistently well in the last few games. There feels like there is a momentum building in the team. We'd been brilliant and mediocre up to then with some teams hammered and others where we just struggled, but always remained in touch with the top teams. Ever the optimist, I get the impression that all of the work that has gone on between Stendel, his staff, and the players is really bearing fruit now. Nice to be able to think about winning a title, something we've never really come close to in my 39 years watching, that would top it off. But, even if we don't make it up, I've enjoyed watching positive, attacking football. The level we play at doesn't matter.
Bloody Hell. I thought you’d died. I’ve been checking the obituaries in the Chron. Good to see yr still with us....talking sense and reminding everyone of the ‘olden days’.
Good summary of how i feel about things. We are playing some excellent football & bringing on some of our own youngsters in the process.
Well I, for one, haven't enjoyed this season as much as I should have done. And the reason - Because you haven't been posting as much as you should've been. So get back on board you amicable Bugger. The place has gone a bit...er, tha knows, without you. Welcome home xx
Thank you, old mate. We're having to deal with personal issues which I'm not prepared to discuss, but I'll certainly endeavour to post more often and be my usual, dull, tedious, boring self!
I can see us being champions as well Kev, 2 more signings in the next 10 days, no more departures and we will win league.
Were we close to the truth? http://barnsleyfc.org.uk/threads/whats-happened-to-jlwbiglil.274917/#post-2224761
