    Well just to pick one game out as an example and there’s been a few more but the football at Bournemouth was sublime and Willo tried his best to dis it as hoigball and was turned on by his own fans .

    West brom owner- "Can we take your head coach who has just over seen your best season for 21 years? We will pay the 2million pound compensation"

    Barnsley-"yes okay"

    West brom owner- " okay terms have been agreed with val and were taking his backroom staff aswell, oh and we will pay you installments every 6 months..."

    Tell them not a chance.

    Marlon, I'm not exaggerating anything. I'm simply fed up to the back teeth of being told that the only alternative to what we played last season is losing, tippy tappy football.
    And yes, sometimes last season WAS hoofball. I watched it. Not all the time but on occasion it was and on occasion it was dreadful.
    There are other ways to play.

    Think you may have contradicted yourself there tbh .
    Yes sometimes we did play direct but it was with a purpose it wasn’t hoofball and hope in any game I watched tbh .

    But alot of the time the coach before strubers football was tippy tappy not all the time but alot of it, and anderson standing in the area while radlinger passed a goalkick to him inviting pressure and the we try to play it out of defence like were barca was one of the stupidest tactics I've ever watched.

    As I say this should have been sorted before they even got VIs phone number IMO.

    I don’t think any right- minded fan would disagree that there was some poor games last season, but was that simply because it was players not fully following out instructions, poor distribution etc? What made it mostly pleasing for me was that no matter what shape the game took, our players would go right to the final whistle.

    Fully agree the commitment was 100%. The energy levels wete amazing though they definitely seemed to be running out of steam against Coventry and Rotherham.
    I did repeatedly see Mowatt and other midfielders hook the ball over their shoulder into areas rather than turning to pick out a pass.
    It was what it was. Sometimes thrilling but not often in my eyes, often effective. But a thing of beauty...no.

    I agree. I hate tippy tappy as much as the next bloke. I watched England do it last night. It happens repeatedly. Passes around the defence waiting for an opening that ends with the defenders increaingly getting hemmed in and ultimately having to kick it long anyway to get themselves out of trouble.

    100% agree. If Barnsley don't insist on upfront payment from a club who can easily pay this, tell em to do one.

    £2m if put back into the transfer kitty could equate to a solid £1.5m player and 500k towards their wages for 12 months..


    My thoughts if he goes. Thanks for the work he has done here, shame he didn't see the job through for at least another season and prove it wasn't a flash in the pan. As for the future, can't offer my good luck when it's to a club in the same division.

    2 Standout games from last season where we played some fantastic football and not all long to the strikers. Both of em against Norwich City, one of em in the cup.

    Those two matches for me would be the template for what I wanted a manager to re-produce week in, week out.

    Slaven Bilic and Sam Allardyce both tried to get something out of that squad and were unable to.

    As much as I liked the pressing game. We did as Marlon says play a passing game Bournemouth couldn’t match. I believe our players possess skills to adapt to any game plan.
    On the negative side. Please, please, no more head tennis. ( v Wycombe at home up there amongst the worst games I’ve ever seen.)

    I just think I support Barnsley and want them to win games. I don’t care if it’s not pleasing on the eye (which it was) because I love Barnsley Football Club, not football.
    The Reds winning was enough for me.

    He should have a look at their fans comments, especially about them promising one thing then backing off

    If the WBA job did fall through, how would the players react to a manager asking them for 100% commitment when they know he was happy to f**k off at the first opportunity?

    They'd probably all be happy to f*ck off to West Brom for 3/4 times their salary as well. Not sure it really matters.

    tbf as long as he's 100% committed when he's here then that's fine. At the end of the day he's left his young family to come hete, you can't get much more committed than that.
