Re: Five Year EFL Deal: Death of the 3pm?

Sky reveal more details. Before the season starts they'll announce their TV picks from August to the FA Cup Third Round weekend. By November they'll announce the Jan-March picks, then shorter notice thereafter while they see where the stories are. They say they're doing this to minimise fan disrupt...

Re: Up Winter Hill Bah't hat. Home to Barnsley, Tues 7th May 8-0 clock

Rico had a shocker for their second, and nearly lost it in the first half under no pressure. Thought he was hard done to for the first though. Toal stopped his run after Santos head had gone down. A small mistake but I think it's emblematic of when we're bad, which is when we get caught between two...

Re: Up Winter Hill Bah't hat. Home to Barnsley, Tues 7th May 8-0 clock

I slightly disagree on Collins. I mean he’s not the most natural ‘press type’ but he works incredibly hard. He always wants the ball. He’s clearly trying to add the press to his game. Phil Brown on the radio after the game said he thought he and Charles were the best partnership he’d seen at Bolton ...

Re: Up Winter Hill Bah't hat. Home to Barnsley, Tues 7th May 8-0 clock

And Maghoma can’t just drift off and stop because he doesn’t fancy tracking back. I agree with this completely. The guy is a hell of a talent and the only player in our team who can unlock defences like he does with his twisting and turning and incisive passes, but on many occasions I see him meand...

Re: Up Winter Hill Bah't hat. Home to Barnsley, Tues 7th May 8-0 clock

On Santos.. Bloke in front of me summed him up perfectly. "He gets bored and does something stupid" and after he said it, it does feel like that. He can sometimes be so comfortable and dominant that it can seem easy, so he tries Cruyff turns and flicks that backfire. He needs to cut that out. As go...

Re: Up Winter Hill Bah't hat. Home to Barnsley, Tues 7th May 8-0 clock

Over the season, we're approaching 1 in 3 where the oppo have scored at least 2. If that doesn't undo us in 10 days, it needs a lot of work. And if it does it needs a lot of work! There's little merit in pointing out there's two teams. That's how football works. We know there's two teams, can we ju...

Re: Up Winter Hill Bah't hat. Home to Barnsley, Tues 7th May 8-0 clock

That’s a lot to unpack isn’t it? It’s hard to really sum that up. The positives tonight, aside from a big last ten minutes that got the job done…. Front two of Collins and Charles were excellent. Truly excellent. Thomason had to hold that midfield together and did, despite being booked and whilst he...

Re: Up Winter Hill Bah't hat. Home to Barnsley, Tues 7th May 8-0 clock

Look - I suspect most are getting jittery. Mentions of Knight and that night should be banned (I was there I still feel sick thinking about it). This isn’t about referees. That night we were done but we also did ourselves. Tonight if the ref is bad we have to rise above it and do our jobs. Agreed! ...

Re: Up Winter Hill Bah't hat. Home to Barnsley, Tues 7th May 8-0 clock

Same starting team tonight then? That’s probably what I’d go for, and I think Evatt will as well. I would too, but I do think there'll be some science based changes to some areas. Possibly 3 changes- A Wing Back, Centre Mid and Striker change Wouldn't be surprised to see Iredale come in to help Toa...

Re: Up Winter Hill Bah't hat. Home to Barnsley, Tues 7th May 8-0 clock

Have felt pretty confident since Friday. This morning though post coffee am absolutely bricking it. Guess it’s just pre match normal fears but seeing Barnsley fans suddenly feel confident isn’t helping.

Re: Up Winter Hill Bah't hat. Home to Barnsley, Tues 7th May 8-0 clock

For me, it was quite interesting looking at the post match stats..We didn't have the lions share of the posession 60/40 to them. They made more passes and had a higher passing accuracy. What we did do was manage them down to 2 shots on target. We both had the same number of shots. Did it well, we n...

Re: Up Winter Hill Bah't hat. Home to Barnsley, Tues 7th May 8-0 clock

Anyone else nervous? Only in the sense that we all know deep down it’s likely to be a game where they come and have a go and put us under pressure, probably score and it gets edgy. At least I think that’s what we all expect. It’s just down to us to deal with it. Honestly think the biggest thing for...

Re: Up Winter Hill Bah't hat. Home to Barnsley, Tues 7th May 8-0 clock

Evatt ‘nothing is achieved tomorrow night’.

Agree entirely. This is the right attitude. Play offs are nothing if you don’t win them. And tomorrow night will not likely be easy. Big job to do and IF they do it then it counts for nowt unless they do the next one.

Re: Up Winter Hill Bah't hat. Home to Barnsley, Tues 7th May 8-0 clock

Guess we'll never know who did what, when, just quite a few on theirs called it t'other way round as their attendances hadn't been great at home, recently, due to indifferent form. Dunno. Agree it's the couple of blocks to WSL that have chunks missing...NSL (my preferred stomping ground) also seems...

Re: Up Winter Hill Bah't hat. Home to Barnsley, Tues 7th May 8-0 clock

Yeah, looks to me like the biggest mass unsold blocks are the South West corner, and the entirety of North Upper. Given that South West is normally not home fans, and the North Upper is usually families, guess it sorta tracks that it's term-time school night and TV factors keeping folk away... Mayb...

Re: Up Winter Hill Bah't hat. Home to Barnsley, Tues 7th May 8-0 clock

It’s a bit modern footballitis I guess. At burnden back in the day people would queue for hours for these occasions. Now the biggest game of the season rocks round and it’s ’oh it’s an evening game bit tricky’. I get it to an extent it just feels odd. If we go through I will be interested to see ho...

Re: Up Winter Hill Bah't hat. Home to Barnsley, Tues 7th May 8-0 clock

We sold out in 95 for the league cup final the took about 25k for the play off. It is what it is. Weeknights on the motorway coupled with work patterns limits me to Saturdays. If we wanted to sell out to plastics week in week out we’d turn into one of the premier league lot and frankly I’d rather b...
