    If you buy ten Bob players, you unfortunately get ten Bob players. Fair play to the lads for effort but the quality is absolutely zero.

    Today was like an FA cup game. Championship v league one and with us in gear five, forest never came out of first gear. Unless we sign some quality in January there is no other way than being picked off week after week by better teams.

    Get some money spent Chien!!!

    The owner’s don’t give a **** about this club other than making a profit.Similar to Huddersfield.
    Cannot pay tin pot money for tin pot player’s.Yes the team spirit is good and Stendel is a good man manager but unfortunately come May I think the writing is on the wall.
    Quality and experience is vital in the Championship and we have little.

    Cannot remember the last time he was seen at Oakwell. As he already lost interest? If the asset stripping of key players in the summer for peanuts wasn't worrying enough, the fact the billionaires took out a loan with interest when they have enough cash not to have to do that should have been a warning sign. For all they have done for the club we might as well have stayed fully owned by the Cryne family.

    I promise you I am by no means a happy fecking clapper, but I think this comment and assessment is really unfair.

    I also think the gears is thing is a terrible analogy, anyway.

    If Forest were so good and we were so overrevved, why wasn't it 4 nil? Why did they only have 1 shot on target?

    I appreciate that we do not have a real striker, apart from CW, and he's been forced to drop most games, but to suggest we were miles away from Forest is wrong.

    The (best ) transfer window (ever) spoke volumes

    I think we might stay up through pure will power effort and good management

    Couldn't disagree more. All over them for most of the second half. They were busting a gut to stop us and really worried/panicked. See keeper getting booked for holding onto the ball as an example. We had them rattled and with a bit more quality/composure we would have got something from the game. And deservedly so. We went toe to toe with a decent big spending team. Play like that most weeks and we will finish above at least 3 teams in this league. Fact. Why are people falling over themselves to be all doom and gloom. Again. Cue accusations of being a happy clapped but the tide will turn. "Believe " as a,certain crap Portuguese coach once said......

    Wouldn't it have been Portsmouth at home last season which was played mid December? He's not been active on twitter since the 30th April when he congratulated us on promotion. This is probably absolute bull sh*t but heard a rumour Chien and Conway have fallen out. What is interesting is Conway seems to be an ever present this season but I thought he would take a back step with the new CEO coming in.
