<h3 class="headline">SIMON PLEASED DESPITE DEFEAT </h3><span /> REDS Manager Simon Davey caught up with Barnsley World TV following tonight's action at Oakwell.</p> Barnsley lost a keenly fought game 3-1. Stephrn Foster netted the Reds goal.</p> Simon told Barnsley World TV: "Sheffield Wednesday are always a tough team to play but we went out with a fully fit squad, apart from a couple of long term injury problems. We did rest quite a few players for the game because a lot of our lads have been playing international football midweek and then coming back to us on Thursday so it has been a hard time for them. </p><div class="articleMPU"> <img height="0" width="0" border="0" /> <img height="0" width="0" border="0" /><a href="http://adserver.adtech.de/adlink|512|1272487|0|170|AdId=1925660;BnId=9;itime=571377497;key=key1+key2+key3+key4;nodecode=yes;link=http://ad.uk.doubleclick.net/jump/N4892.Footballleague/B3110769.48;sz=300x250;ord=571377497?" /> </div> Heinz Muller, Maceo Rigters and Darren Moore all did well for us. We were hard working throughout and it was workmanlike. We were pleased that they did not go under".</p>
<font size="3">Davey and Barnsley Part Company.</font> It was unlucky 13 for Simon Davey when the Reds lost at home to fierce rivals Sheffield Wednesday. The Reds have won just two in 13 matches this season and this prompted the board to take action. Davey was given the dreaded vote of confidence after the Doncaster game but since then two abject performances have called time on his reign. Mr Cryne said "Despite steering us to safety the last two seasons and that remarkable cup run Simon has not been able to move the team forward this season therefore we have decided to part company. We wish Simon well for the future.
Davey's boys make it two Derby wins in a row In recent years Barnsley haven't had the best record against their local rivals, but this seasonDavey intends to make the Reds kings of South Yorkshire. </p> After tonights convincing 3-1 victory over local rivals Sheffield Wednesday, Barnrley boss Simon Davey said"We haven't yet hit form this season and have struggled in front of goal. Tonights win is for the supporters they weremagnificent tonight, they lifted the lads when we conceded early in the game and drove us on to victory. It was good to see Rigters get on the score sheet, Hume worked tirelessly and deserved his goal, and Jamal's goalwas worthy of winning any game. Tonights win will give us comfidence going into Saturdays game against Bristol. They are a tough side but we did well against them here at Oakwell last season and another 3pts would be welcomed and willmove us up the league table."</p> </p>
Nightmare scenario <font size="3">Contract extension for under-fire boss</font></p> After a heavy 5-0 home defeat to local rivals Sheffield Wednesday, Barnsley boss Simon Davey has signed a new 3-year contract extension. Welshman Davey, famous for two FA Cup wins last season and at least one other win, said "I'm delighted - tonights defeat gives us a platform to build and we are on course to be a CITY side ! !" (Conference In Three Years)</p>
Barnsley fans set to endure Davey's reign for longer thanks to lucky win Simon Davey has done it again. In his usual style that has kept him in a job for the last 9 months, Barnsley boss Simon Davey has scraped a win to keep hold of the managers seat for another few games. Something seen by Barnsley fans all too often since Davey took over, baffling tactics, substitutions and a complete inability to change the game led barnsley to yet another crushing defeat away at Crystal Palace but when D-Day came, sheffield Wednesday did a doncaster and gifted Barnsley the win. A win that Davey will try to take full credit for while ignoring the next four or five games that he leads barnsley to defeats in. Sorry Barnsley fans, it looks like you're stuck with him for a little while longer. Maybe if you're really unlucky he will continue his trend of losing 5, winning 1 all the way to league one.
