Salty bunch! Apparently we're a pub team and play shocking football. Bless em! They must have short memories because the team they brought to oakwell last season, under the Cowley's, was one of the worst visiting teams we played. The ball was constantly in the air! They obviously don't like losing to little old Barnsley!
I'm round at the in laws! I've just got the biggest smile on my face! Wife wants to leave and go home. I've just said let's stay for another drink
So that's Watford, Wycombe, Forest, Wednesday, Preston and now Huddersfield that say we play terrible long ball football and deserve to go down. My ohh my how poor is this league if we are playing long ball crap football.
I was talking to a Leeds mate other day. He rang me last season when they beat us and we absolutley hammered them and in his words 'not one team has done that to us all season. It must be a joy to watch each week' Then last week he'd manage to watch us a couple of times and couldn't believe the comparison. He thought we'd continued where we left off at Elland Rd and that's why were doing really well. He used the word direct but not long ball. Maybe we've built such a reputation over the last 2-3 seasons and people aren't expecting us now?!?
We play shocking football, having not had a quarter of a billion pounds go through our books since 2017, and managed to win despite our apparent limitations. They've had the quarter of a billion, play hoofball under the Spanish Joe Kinnear, and got beaten. *shrug* '
