year one: 4 points from relegation (ignoring the 10 point deduction of leeds united for none footballing matters) year two:3 points from relegation year three: 2 points from relegation</p> </p> excellent progress</p>
you cant use stats from seasons end and mix them with mid season. I agree he has not really improved the position, but not with how you presented the facts.
in that case we really shouldn't comment on simon daveys performance until the final whistle of the season every year otherwise we're commenting on things that are not 'finished'. All I showed was that we finished season one 4 points above, season two 3 points above and at present in season three find ourself 2 points above.
RE: in that case we really shouldn't comment on simon daveys performance until the final whistle You could also say that we finished with 50 points in the first season, 55 in the second season, and that we still have enough games to take 60 points this year. Wouldn't suit the doom and gloom though would it?
RE: in that case we really shouldn't comment on simon daveys performance until the final whistle I agree we should not be arguing after EVERY feckING MATCH. He is going nowhere, I know it , you know it and nearly evry single person that follows BFC knows it.
One problem with that BRF We are in a league that unfortunatly for simon davey has other teams in it. If it was purely a case of barnsley fc competing with themselves only to get as many points as they can then fair enough a few more points each year would be good but unfortunatly we are in a league against other teams and the way that the league works is by comparing the points between each team Which season do you think man utd would consider a success? finishing 2nd on 90 points or first on 80?
