    We won on Tuesday without having to put in a great performance. That won't be enough at most grounds this season as the Crystal Palace match showed. Palace aren't great but we didn't do enough and employed negative tactics. We get beat 3 nowt, but their next visitors were Forest who have been woeful all season, but they go there and win.</p>

    Charlton will be a similar fixture. Their confidence is low and they're struggling for a win. If we get at them like we did there last season we have a great chance to come away with all 3 points. But if we go there with 1 striker up from like we did at Donny- and sit back soaking up the pressure, Charlton will break us down.</p>

    So Saturday is a huge game for me, not in terms of the 3 points on offer, but how Barnsley Football Club will approach away fixtures where points are potentially there for the taking. I'd much rather have a crack at them and go for the points (with the risk of being caught at the other end obviously), than employ negative tactics and hope for the best. There's absolutely no reason why we can't go there with a 4-4-2 formation and have a go.</p>

    Pardew's under pressure

    They nicked a good point at Ipswich though, but if we go there and get at them from the off, then we could get points.

    We're away from home in London

    Doesn't matter what tactics we employ, we're going to lose.

    they have ALL been there for the taking.............thats the sad and frustrating thing

    Cardiff at home, we played them off the park for the first 20 minutes, we didn't get the goal, the confidence went.......Cardiff went on to stroll through the match

    Against Palace we lost 3-0........and Palace never looked like scoring, we were in command of the match, we didn't get the goal, the confidence went.........school boy mistakes followed and we end up losing 3 nowt

    We have one glareingly obvious fault ........we are playing teams off the park but cannot make it count
    We need to solve that problem and solve it fast

    SD was on the radio yesterday saying he has confidence in the squad.........well I haven't !!!
    If we stay with the current strikers we will be near or in the relegation zone come the end of the season
    The strikers need clearing out and Proven strikers brought in

    Where do these delusional comments come from regarding Palace?

    We lost 3-nil, never looked like scoring ourselves, and were very lucky not to have Muller sent off!

    Palace never looked like scoring yet Bobby Hassell was responsible for two or three fantastic tackles that stopped goal bound efforts?

    They bossed our non-existant midfield, we were awful!

    We'd have not scored if that match went on for 6 hours. Palace where dominant throughout and deserved to win.</p>

    My brother in law said we were the worst side to visit

    Selhurst in many a year.... and he's a Palace season ticket holder and has therefore been watching them !!!</p>

    He also went to the Bristol City match with me and couldn't believe the transformation from nailed on relegation certs to comfortable mid table Championship side. Also said if Macken had scored he'd have been the man of the match.... he nearly choked on that as he was his biggest fan when he played for Palace.</p>

    Watch the Palace match again.........we were comfortable and if Rigters had taken that chance

    I am sure we would have won easily
    as it happens, and as per usual Rigters (and it could have been any of our forwards) didn't take the chance and from then on it was all down hill
    Palace never ever looked like scoring and it was our own players that put the win on a plate for them
    How many times do we see such school boy errors from JCR and De Silva in a match.......I know I never have

    Hence all the dismay and abuse on here after the match, including some from myself, but if we had strikers on the field that could actually score we would have buried Palace long before they scored


    The confidence in the team is seeping away because of our powder puff strike force

    Explanation- we were playing Crystal Bloody Palace!!!

    </p>

    Considerfor example, Bill Gates bumping into Paddy Cryne next week and offering to take over BFC with the promise of a billion pound investment.</p>

    Further consider some of that &pound;billion being spent on Cristiano Ronaldo (who moves to Royston), Michael Ballack, Kaka, and Lionel Messi. That side would be shaped by Fabio Capello with SD as his worthy sidekick/teaboy.</p>

    Even then, on any given saturday afternoon you care to choose that involves a game at Crystal Palace, and no matter what struggles the Palace side were going through at the time, we'd still get absolutely battered by several goals without so much as breaking sweat.</p>

    Why I go there I just do not know.</p>

    That reads like an introduction to The Twilight Zone.</p>

    How apt...

    Please take a reality check mate

    We were dog w@nk, simple as.

    You can't say "if this", and "if that" all the time. At the end of the day, Rigters didn't score, and Palace did, only three times mind!

    We were second best all over the pitch that day, and even with a prime Alan Shearer up front we would not have got 3 points out of that game.
