Mystery of the Losing Run Solved - It's them Pesky Drones!

Apologies. I'm bored at work.

(For the record I have faith in and completely back the entire club from top to bottom to achieve their plan. The below is actually as much of an observation of fans perceptions of the management as it is of the management themselves.)


SCENE - DAY - INT. - LJ'S OFFICE

LJ: Right then, gents. We need to figure out why we keep losing football matches or I'll be getting the chop - and I don't mean lamb.

PH: That's four in row now, boss.

LJ: I know it is, Hecky. I read the BBS.

PH: Sorry, boss.

LJ: So, we've reviewed the DVD of the Walsall match. We dominated the possession. We completed more passes than the opposition. We recycled the ball. We reacted to the triggers. So what's going wrong, Tommy?

TW: Er... We're condeding more than we score, boss.

LJ: Yep. What else?

TW: That's it, boss.

LJ: There must be more to it than that. It can't be that simple. We've been clinically picked off in the last four league games. What am I missing?

[A moment of silence]

PH: We could try the 4-4-2, boss.

LJ: Tommy, hit him for me.

[TW thumps PH on the arm]

PH: [Wincing and rubbing his arm] Sorry, boss.

LJ: [Sighs] What would Pep Guardiola do if he was Mana- sorry - Head Coach of Barnsley?

TW: Do you want me to take the afternoon session while you look in the mirror, boss?

LJ: Look. Bottom line is, we shouldn't be losing to Crewe and Donny. We're Barnsley! We've got one of the biggest budgets in this division. We have a Championship standard stadium. We've had drones supervising training sessions for the last 3 weeks for crying out loud!

PH: Funny you should mention the drones, boss. One of them crash landed this morning in training.

LJ: Oh for f***s sake.

PH: Yeah sorry, boss. Must have been a malfunction.

LJ: Is it broken?

PH: Nah. But Smudger's having his head bandaged up by Sedgy as we speak.

LJ: [Sighs] This is not good...

TW: I know, he's out for a month and now we're going to have to start with Conor Wilkinson tomorrow.

LJ: No! I mean them drones are expensive!

PH: Are we gonna have to pay Fleetwood for a new one then?

LJ: What?

PH: For the drone we borrowed, boss. Are we gonna have to pay for them a new drone?

LJ: Why would we pay Fleetwood, Hecky? It's our drone.

PH: Oh...So why's it got a Fleetwood Town crest on it?

[A moment of silence]

LJ: ...When did this losing run start again, Tommy?

 

Love it. Very good

 

Correction: PH should say "YES, AND Smudger's having his head bandaged up"

For some reason I can't edit the original post..

 

That's very funny. I even bet LJ's laughing as well.
