    ... but nothing from what I have read or heard from tonight’s meeting, and the total lack of anything regarding our manager has made the decision for me.
    I’m not going until I can see a change.

    A change in manager, tactics, the way fans are treated. Anything would be a start.

    The utter nothingness will be met by the same from me.

    Bloody hell. Things are bad, when you and JLWBL are losing hope.

    My Walgreens package arrived with Vitamin C, Vitamin D3, Zinc and Ibuprofen, so that's a bit of good news for my COVID-19 / Sinus Infection woes on Day 11 of Isolation.

    As for the Super Reds, they need a bloody miracle.

    It's a sad state of affairs Fiona but I expected absolutely nothing tonight other than a man in an impossible position towing the party line. He can't say anything that goes against the board, so all we are left with are empty platitudes. I haven't heard anything in relation to tonight, but I fear those in attendance (and reds fans the world over) will be disappointed with the answers.

    Hope the blades win by a cricket score on Sunday, I believe only a compete annihilation will see Schopo get the boot. A "close" defeat and he will stay in charge.

    I’ve heard bits from tonight and to me it’s another failed opportunity to put people at ease.

    I hoped that last night/ Reading / Millwall would do that.

    He was never going to say anything about the coach once he wasn’t sacked during the day. Not sure what people would be expecting? A vote of confidence, plans of when they’d sack him? Was never going to happen

    I wasn’t expecting some trivia about non alcoholic beer to address the total balls up at Oakwell. It may be a commendable idea for some but seriously we have far more important issues.

    It would be so refreshing (and actually make things a lot easier for them and the fans) if they just held their hands up and said, do know what, we messed up big time. Here are a list of (proper) questions from the fans, and I'm going to answer them openly and honestly and show respect to every single Barnsley fan. But instead, I feel like they're saving face all the time. But from what? Just breeds contempt for them. It's just endless bad decisions followed by smoke and mirrors followed by silence, then repeat.

    Glad you’ve said this. A few commented thinking those present were going to get an exclusive

    I'd love to have seen how Dane had approached it. Better than this I reckon anyway.

    Maybe marginally but I'm not so sure. Based on the evidence Dane also came out with something and nothing each time he spoke. He also had the uncanny ability to build the fans' hopes up before the new season, whipping up anticipation before promptly jumping ship. I feel for Khaled, I want to see Conway answer to the fans (and not next to the bogs at Turf Moor). It sounds like another wasted opportunity, as others have said. But I'll wait for the transcript and really hope I'm pleasantly surprised.

    I’m delighted that the new CEO appears to have announced that the staff are happy (minus the ones who have left) Brilliant work in such short time. I’ve been at our place for 27 years and have no clue if anyone is happy - in our team of 4 .

    I wasn’t there, but i did think the owners would see fit to put fans at ease and reassure. That’s not the impression i get from people who were there
