2 points out of 6 v Wigan 1 out of 6 v Charlton 1 out of 6 v Luton 0 out of 6 v Brum 1 out of 6 v Wednesday 0 v Stoke These are the figures that could get Barnsley relegated not whether any other team acted “unfairly”
Agreed. Our results were terrible against teams at the bottom end of the table. However, this isn’t the first time a club has been relegated due to a points deduction and won’t be the last! We were statistically the 3rd worst team in 2012 yet we stayed up due to Portsmouth’s deduction.
I agree, that record is shocking and definitely something we need to look at next season. I’m feeling like a broken record here but if Wigan weren’t paying players they couldn’t afford then we might’ve got more points off them. They certainly wouldn’t have finished mid table, which is why I can’t see that argument from their fans.
Lads are still in the tunnel. Meant to be 3 o clock kick off but always start later so we can fit in timerider
On the flip side we drew twice with WBA, did the double over Fulham, won at Brentford and drew twice with Swansea. We also played Leeds off the park at their place so that merits a bit of credit too.
Standard Barnsley, that. We tend to give the best teams in the division the shock of their lives, but when a team with two points from 45 away from home turn up, we'll kindly roll over for them.
i dont really get posts like this, we obviously did better against other teams but you haven't mentioned them.
Statistically we were but fairly no, Portsmouth broke the rules giving them an unfair advantage . I have no qualms on us surviving if teams are cheating or gaining an unfair advantage . Imo we should be halfway up the table .
