Can Offsidiello & co. fire us into playoffs & beyond???

Tarntyke · Apr 22, 2006

Our Forwards are simply not coming up with the goods.Thank goodness the mifielders have chipped in heavily with goals of late.I know there is a good argument for Hayes with his assists, but the rest do not inspire me with confidence.

BFCFan4Life · Apr 22, 2006

From midfield..

Off the top of my head and probably inaccurate:

Shuker 10
Devaney 9
Howard..5 or is it 6?
McPhail 2
Burns 2

Excellent return from midfield, when compared with
Hayes 12 (don't care what anyone says, he clearly scored against Rotherham)
Richards 11
Nardiello 5?
Conlon 1
Wright 1

(in all comps)

So thats 30 (approx) from the front men and 28 from midfield?

Total guesswork by the way, I'm no Paul D!

Tarntyke · Apr 22, 2006

I'm sure Burns was our leading scorer at one stage

with 4 or 5.

Guest · Apr 22, 2006

mcphail seems to be scared of hitting it lately

he stands onthe edge of the box at corners and then when the ball comes back to him he has all the space and then...

either takes two paces forwards into a defender or passes it to the full back on the half way line

Burns..

I remember Huddersfield, andddd...now my brain power has deserted me.

Alityke · Apr 22, 2006

Did he play this aft

I didnt hear him mentioned

Spartacus · Apr 22, 2006

Burns..5

Burns goals this season

according to Green un..Swansea 1 Preston(cup) 2,Huddersfield 1,Port Vale 1, so thats 3 league & 2 Coca Cola cup=5

Farnham_Red · Apr 22, 2006

Yes you did - he lost his shorts remember!

Guest · Apr 22, 2006

mmmm his first touch overhead flicks were great

for thge blackpool defence

and he was doing his stupid flicks with back to goal whilst they tackle him i think thats where reid got it from when he was sent off "McPhails guide to losing the ball in 3 easy steps"

1) let the trough ball come just past you

2) dont look for a pass or a way out just put your opponent of with a quick foot shuffle

3) lose the ball like a great (holy mary mother of god) pudding

For an Ex-striker Andy Richie..............................................

doesn't seem to be able to sign a decent striker or even coach the ones he inherited from Hart.
If we manage to get into the play offs our form over the last 10 games can hardly make anyone confident. How many have we won?
There seems to be a lot of blind faith on this board for Ritchie. Personally every time I hear an interview with him I have less and less faith in him.

I can't get excited by finishing in the top six and then having to play Forest. We are as far away from being promoted as we were at the start of the season.

Go on then tell me I'm a http://www.barnsleyfc.org.uk/bbs/images/emoticons/******.gif

RE: For an Ex-striker Andy Richie..............................................

thats what ive been saying for ages. hes done well with the defence but doesnt seem to get anywhwere with the strikers

Farnham_Red · Apr 22, 2006

well if thats what you want - you are a wan

ker ff

I do disagree that if we make the playoffs we are as far away than we were at the start

1 from 4 is much better than 3 from 24 it only needs a couple of good performances - and on our day we can beat anyone

BFCFan4Life · Apr 22, 2006

Quite right..

Had forgotten that Preston was this season! So yep, more goals from midfield than attack.

Guest · Apr 22, 2006

Not at all

I think you make some valid points and it's fair to say that at times the season has promised more than, as you put it, finishing in the top six and then having to play Forest but to say that we are as far away from being promoted as we were at the start of the season is overstating the case. There are three outcomes from the season: promotion, relegation or staying where we are and we're in with a chance of promotion with no chance of relegation. If we go up I for one will not care whether it's via the play-offs or not, I'll just be pleased to see the back of Division 3. If we stay where we are then I recognise there may need to be a discussion re: Ritchie's position. I would personally call for stability but I think you'd get your day in court in the close season.

Euroman · Apr 22, 2006

RE: well if thats what you want - you are a wan

I'm sure you are intelligent enough to get my drift.

We were only the 22nd rated team on form before last weekend and our recent performances apart from the one off at Oldham doesn't fill me personally with confidence.

Are we hoping to draw all the games and go through on penalties? The teams who get promoted from the play offs are usually the ones who hit a good patch of form much in the way Forest have done.

Euroman · Apr 22, 2006

Stability?

May be Ritchie should be given another season or more if we don't get promoted.

It's nothing to do with me when our manager will be replaced, that's up to Mr Shepard. When he thinks a change needs to be made I'm sure he will make it.

Ritchie's job will be safe until he is given money to spend and then fails to take the team forward.Or if another club comes in for him.


I think the board with their eyes on finances will be pleased with the way things are panning out. After all Mr Shepard keeps reminding us how grateful we should all be to have a team to support.

It may be in the best interests of the club to reach the play off final and then lose. The income generated could be ploughed back into the club and may be season ticket sales would increase. After all promotion would be guaranteed next season after coming so close this. Or we could do a Wednesday and celibrate a 4th from bottom finish in League One.


The playing staff is one area where we don't need stability, I think most of you would agree we need to bring in at least 3 or 4 players ,may be more if we get promoted.


I'd better raid my piggy bank for next seasons season ticket. My mate has paid £311 in advance for his Sheff.U season ticket.

Farnham_Red · Apr 22, 2006

I do know what you mean

But I think we have played much better than the table you refer to suggests - and apart from Forest - who may not actually make the playoffs everyone else has had pretty poor form as well.

I think in the playoffs we have as good a chance as anyone - Brentford are the side I worry about

Guest · Apr 22, 2006

mcphail

he is usually the last person to lose the ball.

Can Offsidiello & co. fire us into playoffs & beyond???
