That would be Colchester who had 5 put past them by Burton today. that would be Burton who are a point of the top of this poor league with a game in hand. That would be Burton who are getting by on crowds of 2,893. That would be Burton who were 2nd to Walsall in terms of best teams at Oakwell this season. Walsall, sitting 3 points of the top of this poor league with a game in hand. Walsall, in a fantastic position on crowds of 4,668. Both teams doing far better than Barnsley, thus proving that resources are not really an issue (except perhaps playing resources). Playing resources that, we are told, are solely the responsibility of the head coach. Barnsley - bottom of League One - a poor League One - as we approach the half way mark of the season. It's not what I expected when I returned from my summer hols.
Johnson's kept his job longer than possibly any other manager would with comparable results, but I think a loss at Colchester would (finally) be the final straw. I would hope so anyway.
