Barnsley (H) match thread - Boxing Day

[Paul6754]

I don't hate many things but I hate Barnsley.

Score line flatters them, they're clinical and excellent on the counter.

Every team wishes that.

I have seen us play worse this season, we have no quality, and make many mistakes over and over again, this is down to recruitment and the way we play. Flickers/Crosby both have to go now. How much longer does this have to continue?

Oh, much longer. As the old saying goes, some people won't jump over the farm gate until they feel the breath of the bull on their neck. So we will have to be staring into the abyss of L2 before anything is done.

Or maybe that should be the National - because that is where it looks we are heading with this team and this manager.

Only a drastic fall in revenue might change that...as people vote with their feet.

And again, and again, and again, ever thought of going the match and supporting the team? Or if you prefer, hurl abuse at Crosby. 

Have you paid to be here? Because I have. Watching this dog <ovf censored> in an atmosphereless dive of a railway stand. Robbie suite looks nice from here though.

Easy to play us, we have no pace at the back and very open when playing 3 at the back, simple.

You can say we're dog <ovf censored>, you know. Just once. You're not going to spontaneously combust after.

Ever thought for a moment that we have a tendency to make teams look considerably better than they actually are?

Sat in the Hamil, usually in the Paddock but can't for obvious reasons.

Absolute rubbish but I actually don't blame the players. Every time we have possession or a throw-in in a dangerous area, we decide against playing a risky pass to go for an attack, go backwards and end up at the keeper/full back who then ends up playing a rubbish pass under pressure from their strikers. Need a change of tactics and mentality ASAP or we're in trouble.

That being said, not happy with the fans booing Ripley and the fan having an arguement with him at the end of the half. Any League 1 keeper who was passed back to and had as much possession as him would get found out equally as much. The tactics tell the players to bass back to him as often as possible. No problem with fans showing what they think of Crosby's tactics but Ripley is one of  the few reasons we have any points this year...

I think Barnsley could afford to retire and still win the game

Hows the pitch looking ?

[JRC]

Barnsley look really good on the break. Mcatee is a very good player at this level and above.

To have any chance to rescue this we need to go 4 4 2. Either Lowe or Walters off and bring on Wilson. There centrehalves and keeper aren't great on crosses. Forget principles and hang the ball in there.

Nope, chose not to today but I’m not hammering this forum every 30 seconds repeating the same thing. Vale park bar the very occasional game has had virtually no atmosphere since we put seats in to the paddock. Football as a whole is void of atmosphere at most games. When I go Vale, I certainly don’t attend for the atmosphere.

[Valiiant]

When players start arguing with fans in the stand, you need serious changes at the club.

Over to you, Carol. You obviously don't have balls, but do you have a backbone?

Why don’t you take all this to the Crosby out thread. You’re up  there with RZ for spamming threads. You’re the worst poster we’ve had since RZ. When we’re 4-0 down I’ll say it again for you 😂

You keep defending this dross yeah & clapping away 👍🏻 it's you sort that will keep him in a job 🙄
