    STAT: Barnsley and Bournemouth have committed the least fouls in the @SkyBetChamp this season #BFCvAFCB

    For a team bottom of the league to have committed the LEAST fouls in the division is an absolute disgrace. Especially considering how little possession we have in most games.

    Now this doesn't mean I want the lads to go out and start kicking lumps out of the opposition. But christ lets get stuck in for these last 11 games, commit a few fouls, go in hard but fair, let people know we're in the game and fighting!

    One word sums it up. Bottle. Or lack of it to be precise. Time to try to rescue something from our season today even if it is only some pride.

    no suprise to me since we tend to stand back and watch teams walk into our penalty area.

    Mellis, McCourt, Kennedy all wouldn't know a tackle if it slapped them around the face

    Some of the others aren't good enough to get bear there me to actually make a tackle either

    Playing devil's advocate here... having the smallest number of fouls could also mean that we are better at tackling than the other teams who commit them.
