    totally agree

    an unexpected point if you had asked many on here, before kick off. I am delighted with that result. Would also be happy with a point against Villa away too. But I believe we are capable of winning it TBH.

    Unfortunately the goals were sold along with Sam and Conor . We're supposed to be happy tho ' cos we've got 10m in the bank .

    No we're supposed to be happy because we're 10th in the Championship and today we've picked up an excellent result against a really good team

    Can't argue that the goals have dried up. I thought we were the better team today, but lacked any cutting edge.

    If you're happy about being 10th in the championship then fair enough you're easily pleased . 10th in the championship is good but, its around where we should be anyway .

    Are you sure? I'm fairly sure at the start of the season everybody's minimum expectation was to stay up. We've surpassed that by a long way and have flirted with the play-offs. We've got a budget that is far smaller than most teams', a lot of whom have spent 8 figure transfer fees and £40k a week wages. What exactly was your expectation at the start of the season if you're not happy with 10th?

    Is it? What are you basing that on? What do you mean by 'should be'?

    Not true.

    In the last 50 years our average place in the football league pyramid has been 42nd. We've only finished higher than 10th at this level 11 times since the war. That's without even taking into account that the playing field now is more distorted now than it probably ever has been due to the level of outside investment and parachute failure rewards.

    I Base it on the fact that we've got (or had) a team full of top 10 championship players. This team :
    Davies /Bree/Roberts/Macdonald/Yiadom/
    Scowen/Hourihane/Kent/Watkins/
    Winnall/Bradshaw.
    Should be in the top ten in the Championship . We sell ourselves short all the time cos we're just 'little old Barnsley '.

    Good research but I'm not really basing it on history but more the current crop of players .

    But wouldn't all the other top teams say the same? A fairer comparison might be to have a look at how we've done against the other top 10 teams this season.

    P12, W3, D1, L8. Taken 10 points from 36.

    I personally think we're massively overachieving, when I look at some of the teams below us and the difference in budgets.
