    Do you think this board has any effect on decision making by anyone at Oakwell?

    Sadly, such is the fecked up nature of the world...yes, it could (and others) well have a say. Tragically these sites are predominately used by negative, no-hopers.

    You cannot extrapolate points totals like that. There are too many indeterminate variables.

    That's tantamount to saying that if you lose the first four games of the season you will finish on nil points.

    Things do need to change but I'd prefer that on the pitch rather than at managerial level. The manager deserves to have the chance to make those changes.

    That must be why you fit in so well.

    There you go, condemning people just for being unhappy at the dire fortunes of the club they have supported all their lives, and paying good money to have their own opinions.

    That is a fair question but one I really can't answer. Again there are too many variables. Flitcroft may think that Wiseman is a great striker play him up front and he gets 20 goals. I agree that is preposterous but it is the kind of stupid variable that could occur, a broken leg and a player replaces who can do better or worse.

    I do think that the manager needs to change tack though, but to me it is to early to throw the baby out with the bath water.

    A couple of things. Do you agree that there is merit in the argument that 8 games is insufficient to for a true basis of a statistical sample ?

    and Wednesday put a right back/central defender up front and he scored a hat full (Paul Warhurst ) THIS WON'T HAPPEN IF WE STICK WISEMAN UP FRONT ! :)

    Oh and between 48 and 60 points. What do I base that on ? nothing it's a guess based on previous seasons
