Not True Southend is not the be all and end all. We have seen twists and turns on every match day for over a month. I thought before today that we needed 3 wins, and we now have 1 of them. Even if we lost at Southend, that still leaves 2 winnable home games, and I still think 50 points will be the safety level. so, irrespective of Southend, today means more than **** all. In fact, it means a helluva lot.
That's the problem with supporting Barnsley, you feel like banging your head at a brick wall on some of their performances. Yet other times, just when all seems lost, they bring out a super show like they did today. That's why so many supporters including me have a go at them. Why o why can't they string two or three good results together so the fans and the crowd can have something to cheer about. Perhaps Davey has found out how to use two wingers and go and attack teams instead of cacking their pants and sitting back. If he does stick to this plan we may have a slight chance of staying in this league. But on his past team selections don't hold your breath.
It's back in our own hands We don't have to rely on anyone else anymore - Leeds defeat in the last few minutes may have knocked the stuffing out of them - hopefully!
RE: It's back in our own hands Having managed to claw their way out of the bottom 3 on Saturday for the first time in months
Points per game ... Norwich (h) = 0 Sunderland (h) = 0 Plymouth (a) = 3 Coventry (a) = 0 Derby (h) = 0 Ipswich (a) = 0 Birmingham (h) = 3 Southend (a) Palace (h) Leicester (h) WBA (a) 6 points from 7 games. That's 0.86ppg ... which is very similar to the 0.83ppg that got Ritchie sacked. Although Johnny Coachdriver said nobody would mention ppg again after a very fortunate 3 points. We still need another 6 from 4 games in my opinion. We've given ourselves a chance. Nothing more.
Its always seems as though sommat is missing from your posts when it doesn't have 'Edited by The Full Ponty' at the bottom mi owd
Aye. My spelling is like your marriage vows - complete ballax. Bloke sat near us on Setdi: "**** off Jerome yer black bast4rd" "Yer cheating bunch er c00ns" "Brek the black cnuts legs" Two stewards near us ... then just before half time one of the "boss stewards" in the yellow & blue jackets turns up - so I says to the farmer "watch this - they're going to boot him out at half time". Half time comes along ... the racist buffoon walks down the steps ... and starts having a laugh with the steward boss geezer, who seems to be his best mate. No idea why I'm telling you this. I just think you look like a big fat agony aunt, or summat.
