    It's only been exciting when we had O'Sullivan, genuine direct play with width. All we have now is an overloaded midfield with very little flair out wide! Watkins is trying, but is very up and down during a game, he's looked shattered for me. Hopefully now with no Tuesday games him and one or two others will benefit from the weeks rest. I'm not a fan of Harris, although he played well at Scunny....but Scunny really are awful. He like others has no end product, this is one issue with Crowley at the moment, he's playing really well, beating player 2 or 3 times but trying to beat them again instead of playing the killer ball!! I really hope Bree can get fit as I rate him a million times more than Wabarra who just seems to go through the motions at times for me! Scowen had the worst game I'd seen him play yesterday, and when he plays bad we struggle.

    Winnall is totally wasted up front on his own, he's a goal scorer, and a good one at that at this level, he needs to be in and around the box, not with his back to goal 40 yards from goal and out wide. Need him up top with Smith or someone. I really don't know why we didn't go back in for Cole, he has genuine pace which we are crying out for up top, we don't stretch defenders enough to create space up front. I want to see exciting football, balls out wide, wingers running at people, full bacs doing the same and over lapping and getting crosses in. Smith played well at Scunny at left back, he likes to cross and come forward, whilst playing Lewin at LB it is just far too negative at home, he's a good center back and needs to play alongside one of Roberts or Mawson, the 2 together are conceding too many goals together!

    Off the pitch, everything is so flat...understandable at times like this. Who on earth is going to pay £17 on the gate as a kid, and £25-27 as an adult to come and watch this. Half a row in front of us was empty, we have prime seats, 6 rows from the top almost central at the ponty end! We MUST do an offer for at least 2 or 3 games a season, every other club does now and again. Kid for a quid, friend for a fiver, even go for a big gate and make it ten and five pound for everyone & anyone and you can pay in advance & on the gate, open up the north for home fans when we do this, some teams only bring 200!! Get some life into the stadium. Do these offers a couple of times, and on a Saturday game, not a Tuesday game where you have to buy in advance!! Season ticket holders are still saving £100s and I'd rather see people in for cheap than not at all!

    Also, which other team has there main entrance music barley played at all, we fire up timerider as the teams are already walking out, then turn it off after about 10 seconds, some may not care about this and find it petty, but go to most other grounds and they have there main music cranked up leading up to the team entering and leave it on a minute or two. My mam keeps saying why are we walking out to no music, whoever runs the match-day build up needs to sort this out as it's just so flat. I was drawn into Oakwell when younger loving the atmosphere, Toby running about getting up to all sorts, Ponty end penalty's with Toby, I remembered timerider cranking up in advance and the fans clapping before the teams came out, now we just walk out to nothing, it's as if here we go again and whatever!! The whole place needs some energy for the fans to get excited, and we need to get people down now and again before people fall away for good!!

    The music is abysmal. It's as though they have no idea of timing or volume whatsoever. Of course it is only a small unimportant part of the club acording to some so i wont be dealt with. #littlethingsbuildabigpicture

    I think we're all just waiting to be put out of our misery.

    You couldn't be more correct!!! A giant screen with our big moments on with Timerider fading in and out would be a great build up from 2.52 once the final bits of info is read out, teams and safety notice etc! I wonder if we would get a giant screen even if Stones got sold!!!

    They'd have to sell stones for 600million to fund the gargantuan structure required to protect a 15 inch portable from the hurricanes that regularly blow through that area (without ever ruffling the canvas of the tunnel)

    Before we do anything about the music we need to sort the sound system out, shocking quality.
