    I know things look bleak at the moment. But surely today's performance, when compared with the performance and result v Crawley, when we were in a similar situation back in 2015 isn't that bad.

    We were ***** then too hadnt won away since early November when we were beaten by crwley. The difference between now and then is we had some players who were young and had potential and we had a plan with crynes spreadsheet policy. Now we've no identity, no plan, the recruitment has been awful, scatter gun approach, hardly no re sale value.

    That team and those performances were worse - but this team’s prospects for the future are much worse.

    We need a lot of work doing in the summer. I don’t trust the current incumbents of key positions to have the ability to do that.

    I always had faith Patrick would put the club first and wouldn’t have allowed the club to drop into league 2. I don’t get the same feeling about these cowboys. I miss having a local owner, a fan, being in charge.

    Can’t believe I’m saying this but L2 is definitely beckoning with a drop in revenue meaning we’ll be fishing in even smaller ponds.
    Club is rotten from top to bottom. Sormaz out.

    No I don't trust them one little bit either
    And that means I don't think us dropping into the Fourth Division will bother them that much, if even at all.

    Malden is just Conway in disguise, how the hell he can stay in his position. No doubt he will be on a six figure salary. This current team makes Keith Hills team look like world beaters.

    Can reference to a match that took place over a decade ago be used as an example of having a 'very short memory'?

    Yeah, sorry I realised the thread title was b#ll@x once I posted. No offence was meant to anyone.

    What I find ironic is that on the week Huddersfield sacked their manager, a former Barnsley manager, they won 5.1 against Crawley

    The difference between then and now is that we were ahead of the game buying captains from lower leagues, now we’re being priced out.

    We don't sign players to a plan or data driven now. No one can convince me stephen.humprays, Cosgrove, oulare etc were signed using data. And yes I remember the moaning were barnsley fans we love moaning.
