He has been pencilled into the squad for the home game with Bournemouth on Saturday, March 25. Winger Martin Devaney missed training yesterday, having suffered a deadleg. His fitness will be assessed tomorrow. Barnsley boss Andy Ritchie was at Scnuthorpe last night to check on Hartlepool, who were beaten 2-0. "It was a bit of a dour game to be honest," he said. Hartlepool went into the match unbeaten in five. "Hopefully it will have dented their confidence a little bit." Meanwhile Rotherham United did Barnsley a favour last night with their 2-0 win over play-off contenders Oldham. Ronnie Moore's Oldham are in seventh and trail fifth placed Barnsley by four points. Colchester, who were beaten at home by Swansea last night in the LDV Vans Southern final, are sixth but have two games in hand on both Barnsley and Oldham. Ritchie stressed that he was still aiming for runners up spot. Second placed Brentford are still only four points in front of Barnsley while leaders Southend have a 10 point lead. "Somebody asked me after the Brentford game if our challenge for automatic promotion was over now and I asked them how many matches we had left," Ritchie said. "We've got nine games left. It's so tight at the top, it's nonsense to rule us out. Brentford was our first defeat for six games and we know we did not play well. "But it's ridiculous to rule us out of the race now. We know we can do better and we've been working on a few things this week." </div>
we've been working on a few things this week like eg</p> 1) at throw ins throw it to a player in a RED shirt</p> 2) when a player has the ball pass to a player in a RED shirt</p> 3) at corners try to get the ball OVER the first defender</p> 4) if the opposition has the ball TACKLE the man with the ball</p> 5) just for Danny-stay ONSIDE</p>
How about instead... MIDFIELD...let's try PASSING the ball QUICKLY to Danny so he doe snot get caught offside as much
well fuken said!!!! A applaud Thee (clap) be interesting if we could have some stats that back that up.... Ie, he is hardly offside when the ball comes from McPhail (the only one with a brain quick enough to match nads runs)
