    I think the league is there for the taking , especially if we can get a couple of solid defenders in during the transfer window .Swansea City , Southend United and Colchester United have still to come to Oakwell , whilst we still have to visit Brentford and Huddersfield Town . We haven't played particularly well since the cup game at Bradford . However , during that time , we've only been beaten once .
    I , for one , will keep the faith .(Y)

    Windy agree

    Windy think we still have good chance of automatic promotion or at least a shot at um play-offs.

    I agree BUT....

    :)
    but its wide open to lots of teams to stake a claim

    we need defensive cover of course

    a couple of awy wins will bolster us for the dip we are bound to have a some point

    but i think we will be there or there abouts to the end

    RE: I agree BUT....

    How much more of a dip can we have?

    DIP? well

    as long as we get say 78 points?

    so another 36

    so 12 wins?

    what are you having for lunch??

    looking at previous years 73/74 should be enough

    RE: DIP? well

    So we have won 11 of the first 26 games and you think we are going to win 12 of the last 20. I would love to know where you think those 12 wins are going to come from.

    RE: DIP? well

    bear in mind though that the first six games only produced 2 wins 1 draw and 3 losses-7 points</p>

    once the team had settled the next 20 produced 9 wins 8 draws and only 3 losses-ie 35 points so while I don't think we'll win 12 more 35 points is easily within our compass-as I posted earlier Ritchie has made us hard to beat so we'll pick up some draws as well</p>

    I have no doubt that we will pick up some draws, it's the wins that I can't see coming, except perhaps for the odd one or two, unless we make some positive changes in both tactics and personnel.
