    First visit to Oakwell this season, only change from last season is that the opposition is inferior.The team are no fitter,Thiam will never be fit, Potts brain is not connected to his feet, if Bradshaw is worth 2 million then so am i.We are a Top 10 division 1 team and will never survive in the Championship unless we spend some money.

    Neither Potts nor Thiam are traditional wingers.

    When we were attacking they were already up front with the strikers as a 4.

    That makes it difficult to get behind em. Very rarely did we do so. And Cavare's crossing from further back was atrocious.

    It was a poor game, Wimbledon set out to get a point and did very well to that end, they defended brilliantly, were organised and shut us down completely across midfield so much so we barely had the ball at our feet in the the last 3rd. As for us, we lack ingenuity to break them down and the front two for as much they tried were left isolated, having said that other than Davies's save in the first half and their offside goal they didn't look like scoring either. Early days yet and in a large majority the defence is dependable, but if we are going for autos this season we have to be more versatile in attack.

    It’s a shame you missed Bradford and Oxford because we performed much better in both. Could clearly see a game plan and much improved performances in both.

    We could have scored a couple in the first few minutes & Mowatt had a real chance on the stroke of half time but we never really created anything in the second half .

    Very harsh on Bradshaw as he had no supply what so ever today & the only sniff of an opportunity for him was what he created himself & the referee gave a freekick against him which on another day would have been given as a penalty to us.

    Didn't Bradshaw miss a sitter in front of the Ponty?

    Whatever your opinion on this quote no one can dispute the accuracy, I thought the same thing after the first ten minutes and to add another negative the only wide men at the club spend more time on the physio's table than they do on the pitch.
    If Stendel thinks this squad are capable of automatic promotion he needs to throw away his rose coloured specs,
    There thats two negatives.

    "Whatever your opinion on this quote no one can dispute the accuracy".

    What does that mean?

    Get yourself an OED and look under the A's, a clue, it's near the front.

    Mmm......so nobody can dispute the accuracy of Conan's diction then.

    I think that's fair enough.

    Would you be prepared to endorse mine too?
