    Surely he can see the crowds getting less every week, does he think it's because we're playing entertaining attacking football with a team full of superstars or because we are utter tripe

    I have tried to look for glimmers of hope and a better set up under CH, but I am really struggling to see how we have improved under CH. This team is devoid of ideas all over the pitch, they have no fight and look like 11 players who have been thrown together at the last minute

    As @FWF has just clarified with regards to their post, mine was also tongue in cheek after Saturday.

    He's on a hiding to nothing, to be fair. As I see it he's got a bunch of substandard players who have nothing to play for this season and aren't capable of playing in the system he's forced to use. Talk about having a hand tied behind your back.

    I wouldn't trust Sormaz to recruit a tea lady. As long as he's in post we're going NOWHERE

    Mine wasn’t, keeper should have done better to stop a shot at his near post, it’s really not that controversial an opinion. And i I didn’t blame him for the goal, the defender was the main reason.

    Yep, Mladen used his deflection card in getting rid of Clarke and bringing in the even harder working Conor who was unsurprisingly full of praise for the board but then turns out to be no more than Mr Blah blah blah.
    No doubt Conor will get thrown under the bus that he thought he was driving and Mladen will get another throw of the dice in a month or two's time.

    There’s only 2 or 3 ‘senior’ players out of the squad I would want to see anywhere near oakwell next year, if we’re starting next season with any of the likes of MDG/O’Keefe/Watters/Humphreys/ Cotter in the starting 11 then we deserve everything we get.

    If we needed a new tea lady he’d recruit a cleaner from Eastern Europe or a tarmacer from Utah.

    He shouldn't be allowed to be anywhere near next season.

    Beaten themselves again. Happened all season.

    But in all honesty, regardless of the stats, they didn't deserve to win it anyway. Against a side whose wage bill isn't even half the size, don't post huge losses and are fan owned. A team of veterans, youngsters and clearly, a lot of graft. So fair play to them. Just shows it's not always about money. And three consecutive Oakwell wins for them, hundreds of miles from home. Have we won three on the spin at Oakwell in the last two years?

    I was going to have a good old rant about the team, these players, but I'd just be repeating myself for the umpteenth time.

    I have zero faith in things getting any better.

    There used to be a real anger when we lost a home game, certainly at this level. Now, everyone's just used to it. I've seen the club in bleaker times I think. In terms of league position (Rankin winner). And lived through the admin period in that era. But this feels, looks, sounds and stinks much worse.

    I'm not posting any stats.

    And I'll not be posting on Saturday either as I'm doing something else.

    Cant see anything but a hammering on weekend. Hourihane plan has failed miserably. Bound to give him the job .
