Anyone still think we're going down?

If we go down I'm blaming thee Bri

 

I havn"t got a crystal ball , wish I had , then I could make some money on the the football results, but hopefully we will be o.k , however , my honest opinion is that there is usually a mini league of about 6 or 7 clubs fighting to stay in the league & I think we will be in or around that league

 

From which part of the world will tha bi sending blame from Roy...pmsl...i was going to arrange to come and see you both lol ....but plane is always full , tha spends more time art er country than Royal family ..but tha does reight..tha cant tek it wi thi lol

 

Anything above the bottom 3 will be an absolutely massive achievement. The size of the task should not be underestimated.

It depends how the new players gel. We have had a streaky victory over Forest and a good one against Sunderland but 2 comprehensive away defeats. We will be able to tell better after 10-15 games.

 

You thought we were poor against Ipswich?

 

We're not the only team to lose key players. Brentford a team many on here picked as a surprise package have lost 3 key players late on the summer and haven't won a game yet. Burton have lost Jackson Irvine to hull. Someone made a thread about who will be promoted and relegated many picked us to finish in the bottom 3 would be good to cone back to that at end of seaspn

 

I am more optimistic than a month ago, when I was fairly sure we couldn't stay up.
I'm very excited about the season ahead, some great prospects. Possibly the most potential I've seen in a Barnsley team
till you go back to 79-82. Also the least experience. The 82 team had Ian Evans next to the youthful Mick McCarthy, Ray McHale / Ronnie Glavin next to the young Ian Banks. This time it's a bunch of kids & Hammill. Hecky is the difference & I think anyone would be stupid to bet on our finishing position this season. It won't be top 6, there is too much money around for that, but we could take some scalps & get some thrashings.

 

It was a reasonable fear to have at the time people were saying it. It doesn't look like that's going to be the case, but it's also far too early to confidently say we will stay up.

 

We hadn't kicked a ball and people were saying this year's rotherham, were going down ect act. Every signing we made people were giving it the no championship experience. Even though hecky had said we can't afford championship experience we will be signing young players who we believe can make the step up from leagues 1 and 2 and u23s football. The flapping was unbelievable.

 

I'm certainly not in the "we're definitely going down" or "we're this years Rotherham", camp. But you're setting yourself up for a fall making a statement like this after 5 games.

We could finish top, we could finish bottom, nothings a certainty.

I stand by my original prediction of 16th on 58 points. I don't think we'll be as strong in the first half of the season as we were last year, but I predict a much stronger finish.

 

Just like you were before last week !!
Stupid comments like this make me hate this board ! I just hope that your words dont bite you on the arse come May !!

 

It was on the strength of the players we lost, the unprecedented amount of squad rebuilding we had to do and our one win in the last 14 games finish to the season. As I've said, it was a reasonable fear.

 

It really is hard to tell at this stage of the season.

Obviously we have a lot of young players meaning we can have the odd game where we're ***** (Sheff Utd) and other games where we're really good (Sunderland barrring the first 15 minutes)

Offer me mid table right now and I'd snatch your hand off however if these lads get a run going and get confident who knows how far they can go.

Overall, to hazard a guess I'd go for 16th.

 

Yes. The bookies. We are still in amongst the three favourites for relegation.

(I don't agree with them, mind.)

 

Like I were what I never said we were going down or be this season's rotherham. I said sheff united performance was dog **** and I stand by that. But the Sunderland was best we have played since we lost Conor and bree. We always will have ups and downs until the squad gel. I think we have a good enough squad and manager to stay up. Or is only negitiivity allowed on this board?

 

Better to have an opinion and have it proved wrong. lets face it, if we go dowm, no one is going to call you a pillock for saying otherwise are they?

Who knows what will happen. Too early to tell. Actually ahead of where i thought we'd be but 2 1/2 good performances and 2 1/2 ***** ones say time will tell..it all depends which BFC side turns out more regularly - Sunderland home or Blunts away.

 

Nobody said it was. stop being a pillock

 

No I thought we were unbelievably lucky against Forest. They should really have won that game 3 times over with the chances they had. Bristol City (going on reports) and Sheff Utd were the other two. Ipswich we were decent first half, shocking second.
