    Sacked at Cambridge, fans complaining its been painful watching a team play out from the back with p**s poor players, sounds familiar.

    Absolutely, it's a fashion mate goes around in cycles, if a few teams suddenly became successful at the top level playing with wingers it would slowly become the rage.

    I might be wrong, but I seem to remember Cambridge having some success playing a ‘certain way’ back in the day when they had Dion Dublin up top. Didn’t they almost make the top flight?

    Bet they’d give their right arm for those days to return, rather than barely surviving in league one every season.

    Yes just missed automatic and ended up in the playoffs think Warnocks Notts County went up, Cambridge also got to FA cup quarter finals that season.

    Edit it was Blackburn that won the playoffs

    Not really. We go long as much as we try to play it out from the back. I've a lot of problems with how the team play at the moment, but that's not one of them.

    Swansea manager Luke Williams also sacked today after a run of 7 defeats in 9 games.

    You obviously put 2 and 2 together and came up with 5, I wasn't even referring or brought us into the equation.

    What did you mean by 'sounds familiar'?

    The amount of teams not capable of playing out of the back, systematic of modern day football, if you'd read further down, you would have seen I was talking about fashion's in football

    Then no, I'll stick with my original response, it doesn't sound familiar to me. I'm not concerned with how other teams play.

    I'll repeat, no it doesn't sound familiar to me, and there was no conclusion jumped to. I answered honestly and without any animosity. I'm on a Barnsley FC forum and I answered your post with how it related to Barnsley football club.

    You clearly want to keep having a dig at me, by all means carry on...

    I hope he's not our next head coach. I can't be doing with someone else having their name spelt wrong on here.

    I'm not having a dig at all, what's with narky tones?
    Nowhere at all in what I said did I mention us, and how would you know what does or doesn't sound familiar to me?
    You've made a totally wide inaccurate presumption and now just continually carrying on nailing your colours to the mast.
