    Apart from being a fan of the game I have no expertise in identifying game plans, tactics, weaknesses and strengths. I do not have the money or inclination to attend (or try to catch a glimpse of) training sessions. I don't even see half of barnsleys games (very rarely go to away games).</p>

    Yet I know exactly what is going to happen if we are losing a game going into the 70th to 75th minute so how the hell does simon davey think that his one and only tactic is not known by every single opposition team that we will come up against not just this season but this century? I am of course talking about his tried and failed technique of taking a midfielder off and going with three up front. He obviously had ipswich fooled with it because they waited a whole 2 minutes before reacting to it and bringing on a sub of their own which then yet again caused plan b to go out of the window when they brought a fresh pair of legs on up front and we realised that we didnt have the fitness or player numbers to cope with him.</p>

    Does Ronald McDavey really think that there is a single fecking team in this great country of ours that does not know that if - sorry WHEN - they are winning the game and the clock is showing 70 minutes then a midfielder of ours will be leaving the pitch to be replaced by what Simon calls a striker? If he does then god help us. If he doesnt then god help HIM</p>

    Remove the space and look at picture 103. The strain is showing.
