    and that was over three months ago.

    Very difficult to hand over £315 under those circumstances. I wouldn't blame anyone for not bothering.

    Ten points from ten games must be even worse than the run we had under the berk in 2011-12.

    James, you often make some very good points on here. However, I often feel they get diluted or even completely lost, when you're constantly coming out with tedious stuff like this. Do you think nobody has noticed that we've been on quite a poor run since January?

    I'm just feeling melancholy because I'm £315 lighter.

    Just think how I felt after shelling out nearly double that to attend the FA Cup semi against Cardiff!

    We've drawn too many. That's been the problem. Just two home defeats since end of November. Teams have been coming to Oakwell setting up for a point having seen what we can do in the early part of the season and away from home. Not just since January, we've not been able to break them down. Definitely something we need to work on

    We went 3 months without a home win in the 1st half of the season.

    Poor run of home form isn't exclusive to the season post January.

    Odd how much better it looks when put in different terms, isn't it!

    Don't get to Oakwell much, but as far as I can make out from listening to all the matches on Player, we've lacked composure in front of goal, and were inches from turning a lot of those draws into wins. A couple of early signings and a full pre season together should solve that.

    As is your right. I feel however that one up front against a team with 10 behind the ball is dire and is a setup designed to play out a dull draw

    Neither home or away this season have I felt we've set up to draw. Far from it.

    If you say so you've just said that Sam Winnall is the best striker we've had in almost 20 years

    Yeah, 3 of them in August. Doesn't matter how you dress it up, no wins in 3 months is no wins in 3 months.

    Our home record has been pretty appaling all season. It has got worse since January however you dress it up. I can't say I have seen us setting off for a draw though we have set up relatively aggressively. The only game where I felt we needlessly gave the opposition was Wolves when we seemed to overthink things against a poor team.

    Forest home was also a completely avoidable defeat. Though Forest probably used up all their luck for the season that night, we also contributed to our own downfall with some lamentable defending.

    And in all fairness, Lansbury was class that night and tore us apart alongside the **** defending. After that night, I didn't expect to see Forest in the last day of the season job to stay up though!

    I simply don't agree. Other teams have been a lot of the time. We've not been clinical enough to break them down or take our chances
