    I fully believe we will start seeing a very strong Barnsley side. I would say those 3 signings are our key signings, and with all 3 missing that weakens our team massively. Now, I've been miserable and I've doubted our lads but the more I look at our squad the more I feel that we will be fine.

    C'mon lads, let's all stop the wining and all the doom talk and get behind these lads! We had a special team before and I'm certain Hecky will build another special one with these lads.

    Get behind em! Our journey has only just begun.

    I think the players coming in 'could' put these three on the bench.
    It's going to be a very different team by the end of the transfer window.

    Hope you're right mate. More "quality" signings the better

    I have high hopes for the one's who have played.

    Potts drove us forward very well and was my MOM vs Morecambe. Pinnock looks a real unit. Ugbo was very good, excellent contribution to the first two goals. Joe Williams loves a tackle and I can see him becoming a fans favourite here.

    Lets not forget at this stage last year we lost by a two goal margin on the opening day and got knocked out by Northampton, who's to say we will struggle, we lost Fletcher Brownhill Isgrove etc. and still did very well!!!

    Ugbo looks great already so I can't wait to see how he develops as the season goes on. Once we've got Hammill and Isgrove both on the pitch at once and the defence start to understand each other a bit more we'll be fine.

    We'll be fine. We're always ***** on the opening game of the season. Let's not forget we lost 4-2 against Ipswich last year.


    Mid table for us, not a doubt. Then we build again.

    12th......nailed on. Feel free to bring this back if we go down, but u wont have to.
    No ones gonna rip the team apart in Jan cos they all think we're ****. So it'll be last season in reverse. Think we'll flirt with 9th and a few will get giddy but we'll settle at 12th. Markmiwurdz.........now who remembers him.

    We're a small fish in a big pond, that will always be the case until some rich chinese chappy comes and changes that. The club are learning though, I'm liking these 3 year deals with an option of an extra year.

    We're getting there, slowly but surely.

    Which two? Not been taking any notice. Knew most had signed 3 year deals

    Just in time to be flogged when they come back stronger in Champ in 19/20 after winning L1 in 18/19

    Confident everything will get better over the season. And confident that all the lads we've signed are talented and under Hecky and co, provided they buy into and work their knackers off, will improve. I just hope before it "clicks" we aren't adrift of the rest.

    We're a league higher than when Mawson, Roberts, Winnall etc were bedding, learning and improving. It was hard in L1. All of those players struggled in L1 at times while they settled in. Will be brutal in the championship. Which is why we have to hope the lads signed are either better than the last crop were when they signed, improve quicker than those boys did, or we have some experienced lads coming in to help the transition. Or ideally all 3!

    I am still bloody excited. Mainly because I've missed watching us, and that Saturday buzz of cheering the team on. And some of the signings come with great reps from their selling clubs. Always a Good sign.

    Reckon it's going to be a rough and tough start. If we can steal a few points this month, pox a couple of wins, then I'll be delighted.
