Matchday mega thread,Barnsley v Exeter City

Yeah kid lol, it was really enjoyable wasn't it, and I think I felt that enjoyment just a bit more today, like an early Christmas pressie lol.
Because of the constant critical comments from some, as well as our poor run of results.
Well done to the lads!.

 

Hey up John, I'm not sure about that though, because remember any team can win promotion from 6th place, and we've done it before.
Do you mean automatic promotion then, the top two places ?.
I still really think we should be challenging for the top six this season, and then it means those pesky Play offs again doesn't it.

 

And I respect your opinion.

Completely disagree with it, but that’s football.

 

So you don’t think he disappears? I must book a session at Specsavers

 

They’re just Boltons bogey team at present. Bolton haven’t beaten them in 9 attempts. Couple of heavy defeats amongst recent results as well.

 

I don't know about their fans ehh Fitzy kid, but Wigan's players seem to like whacking Bolton more than us lol.
Peterbrough and Rotherham also still haven't got going yet, and neither has Rodney Trotter's team Charlton lol.
But we seem to say the same about them every season, don't we!.

 

Just back from a DJ gig. Wasn't DJIng tonight, but was sorting out technicalities. My agency has had 18 events on this weekend, so I've been rather busy. I'm not critical of the manager. He's not got everything right thus far, but has been given a difficult hand. A really poor run, a bit of an unbalanced squad & the loss of Roberts, Earl & Jalo is a hard one to take. Add to that 2 poor loan players in Slonina & Grant, who have offered nothing thus far & we are a way off where we need to be. Killip, who wasn't fancied has done well & hopefully Watters can feature, as he has some pace. I like Humphrys. I'd play him more centrally myself, but he does the job out wide. DKD was in the right position to tap in the winner. If he does that enough, he's worth a shirt. I think he was only playiing today as there were few other options.Connell a real poor season. Not sure the gaffer will drop the captain though, although Nwakali needs to start and if we keep the same shape Connell needs dropping.

Can we turn it around? Hell, yes, but I think 7th is a surprise on how we've started the season.

 

I know the commentators were suggesting McCarthy but I thought Gent was involved in the foul.

 

He averages 20 goal contributions a season. What do you want from an attacking midfielder?

Does he have to come back and defend too? Nobody (obviously) criticises Maël for his lack of goals.

I appreciate your opinion, but of the entire BFC squad, the last player I’d be worrying about is the one who impacts the team the most.

 

Yeah you can't beat a big gig John P, I just hope your playing some good music mate lol.
I'm not sure about Grant, but I do agree that Slonina has been a poor disappointment, and how much has he cost us.
I really want to like Keillor Dunn more, but for whatever reason, he should be on twice as many goals and more right now... but he's not!.
I still am a fan of Daz Clarke though, and I still think this should be a Play off challenging season for us.

 

We are 7th? I questioned that in my post too. What really should he change with what he has available? Answers on a postcard.

 

Don’t get me wrong. I am definitely aware that, when he engages, he definitely contributes. But to say he impacts most, surely overlooks the fact that, for long periods, he disappears. I have no personal beef with him, and I’m definitely not the only one holding my opinion (and I do realise that many people would agree with you).

 

I am on the fence a little bit, he does seem anonymous in too many games imo.

 

All in all a great result in a very difficult game, hence one of my favourite away wins this season to date.

Exeter are no mugs at home, and prior to yesterday had only lost 3. Had we lost they’d be level on points with us.

Going there on the back of a bad run of results, missing first choice defenders and coming back to win after going behind. Brilliant result. Certainly made the drive back more bearable.

 

A deserved win for the hardcore away supporters. Full respect to all that travelled yesterday, I certainly didn’t see that coming but it was a pleasant surprise.
Let’s hope it kick starts our season.

 

We created more the wazzack.

 

….and DKD got played in on goal at 1-0.

 

That's hilarious. Forgot we were playing Everton & not Exeter.

 

Bonkers innit? This dude giving it the ‘teams like Barnsley’ & another accusing us of throwing money about (DKD). Two opinions that are about aa contradictory as you can get.
