    Not as bad as the following 70 mins

    We still did not score tho` !

    We give possession away to easily and we have the slowest back line in this league.

    But its not Daveys fault, its the fans fault for being too optimistic and hoping that we will improve.

    thought we played well first half...

    Not sure why I am bothering but

    we have played 2 games - we played really well at QPR and were robbed by some bizarre refereeing and bad luck

    Today we were completely on top playing excellent football and really unlucky not to be a couple of goals up before they scored a freak goal

    Biggest concern is the defence - if we keep conceeding 2 goals per game we will struggle - but we wont keep having such bad luck at both ends.


    Not claiming Davey doesnt make mistakes - he made several today - and I have no idea what he said at Half time - looks like he sang em a lullaby but I dont see Davey has done badly enough for dismissal. Also I dont know where we would get anyone better from

    Question for you Barry - how can you demand a manager sacking when you havent even been to a game this season

    I think that sums up my view as well

    I also have waited until today to comment as this is the first game I've been to.

    mine too

    because of that Northern Sea I haven´t seen any of the games either,
    but it is early days

    Very thankful we´re not hiring & firing managers twice a season
    anymore, that´s what caused the great downfall - and also a lot of
    people obviously need a reality check. Staying up the last two seasons
    - on very limited budgets - has been major achievements.

    RE: Not sure why I am bothering but

    saw a few of the pre season debacles...and tend to listen to the summarisers on the Barnsley world...add to this the "cross the board" comments and I think my take is a good one...Simon Davey is destroying us.

    sorry mate but pre season means nowt.... and if you are relying on

    Barnsley world .. well enough said.</p>

    I'm not having a go at you as I know that every home game would probably mean a 300 mile round trip it's just that you seem to be the most negative, vitriolic and voiciforous poster when you don't have the evidence of your own eyes. Second half was poor though.</p>

    But thats because you have very high expectations of where we should be. If you think we should be pushing for promotion then he's abysmal. If you think we're doing well stopping in this competitive league then he is doing well

    We have improved since last season

    Last Season lost 4-1 at home to Coventry and were abysmal - today we lost 2-1 and were unlucky not to get at least a point
    Last season we lost 2-0 to QPR and were lucky it wasnt much worse - this season we lost 2-1 and were robbed by the referee

    Both games we were much better than we were last year

    Your logic is more bizarre

    Please explain how scoring twice as many goals and conceding 2 fewer to the identical matches last season is not an improvement
