    Why do we have so few draws? Swansea have only won 1 more game than us but are in 8th position because of draws.

    I've never known a Barnsley side go out and appear to play for a draw so often, without achieving it. Unfathomable tactics.

    As soon as a goal is scored against us the heads seem to go down and that's that. We have never been good at coming back from behind, then again we've done it well a couple of times this season and won convincingly.

    and also Simple Simon doesn't change formations or bring on subs to give us a better chance of getting back into games (i'll give him Donny)

    Good Morning

    Not only that, we also seem to concede a lot of goals late on in games - somehow we don't often seem to hang on for a point. 6 draws when Swansea have 18 is a very poor return. Cardiff are in the playoffs, and challenging for automatic, but they have only won 3 more games than us.

    Anyway we are going to annihilate Birmingham on Tuesday so what does it matter?

    And yes, Donny turned out to be a one-off. At the time I thought it was tactical genius, but was sadly proved wrong.

    Because when we play the containing game and the other team score we are unable to change to positive tactics.

    When we attack teams from the start and press them we tend to win, which is strange why we don't do it more often.

    I hope you're right about Tuesday, points needed desperately. I can't stand all this talk of relegation

    It was nice to put a name to the face. As agreed i'm looking forward to you dropping Bella off for me! I was shocked when i saw her, couldn't believe how much she looked like my old dog.
    As for my little friend i'm sorry i was so late dropping the card off, i only saw the posts about her birthday at teatime. I even logged off in the middle of a potential kick-off with the curry man as he was getting argumentative again. Funny how he normally agrees with everything but then when he's in the safety of Germany he develops some balls!

    Also

    I wasn't attacking anyone. I was defending the town I love, which I will always do, to the hilt. I think it is a fantastic place.

    I will look forward to that with fear and trepidation

    But please promise not to bring your baseball bat. The one with the skull shaped dent in it.

    OK I will stop

    I will revert to boring posts about lovely person***s, beer and harems.

    This developing balls business was getting on my tits anyway.

    Now that you two have met

    It's about time that Kanecat suffered the ignominies of a C at the D R, and possibly a B in the T A.
