Well said, I thought that you'd lost the power of speech after today's latest debacle, at least you can still type!
excellent post,like you say if we have no intention of signing quality players and will happily accept relegation to be debt free then as true fans we should be told so, rather than all the pipped at the post,not better than what we already have crap

Nail hit firmly on head "Lack of a decent player outside the first eleven" Our first team is easily good enough to compete in the championship. However, our strikers are failing and we have no replacements. Devaney is in a bad spell - no replacement. And if Heckingbottom plays badly (which he often does) we can all turn to Robbie?
Agree. Why shell out for away games when we all know the outcome? Finding it hard to justify my time, energy and money travelling to every away game as I have done for endless years now when I have a new baby I could channel my energy into. Never thought I'd feel that.
J Feel the same, there can't be many more fanatical than us I'm not gipped this season, I don't know why but I'm not. I should be (dancin) but I'm not. We are trying to do the Championship on the cheap as a' Barnsley Maket Stall' and it shows.
