The Tykes Thread

[PC1978]

If Mido scores a hat-trick then N'gog will score 10 in that crazy parallel dimension!

[Harry Genshaw]

We do seem to have a pretty poor record against this lot. Weren't they the first team to ever beat us on a Sunday? Last game of the season about 1994 (lost 2-3). I have a vague memory of Richie Sneekes scoring in a 2-1 win at Burnden but I might have dreamt it.

That 0-3 at Oakwell was a dreadful day but not quite as bad as when we lost 1-3 in the FA cup. I spent 10 minutes under the arm of a copper while he punched me in the face several times

South Yorkshire Police .... "Justice for 'arry Genshaw !!!"

I dont want justice. I just want compensation.

Last time we played them saw us do the double over them... Was on a Saturday evening 6:30 at Oakwell. I was there, but can't remember the score.

[boltonboris]

We'd been "fans of the week" on SoccerAM too. And all the lads were at the time dressed as full kit wankers. I remember that too. I also remember getting stuck on the grass car park. Luckily, I wasn't driving. Because I was fvcked.

[Midnite]

Last time we played them was 28th April 2001 away..won 0-1 Rickets scored.

Best result Bolton 8 Barnsley 0 6th October 1934.

Anyone go to this game..there were 15000 supporters there.

[General Mannerheim]

Which one!? I was at the ricketts game

You weren't there in 1934? Shame on you...

[Ianmooreslovechild]

Sounds like Butterfield is hoping/expecting to start according to interview on Teamtalk preview

[James B]

he does

BWFC: Bogdan, Ricketts, Mills, Knight, Warnock, Eagles, Spearing, M Davies, Butterfield, Ngog, K Davies

BWFC Subs: Lynch, Mears, Ream, Andrews, Pratley, Chung-Yong, Afobe

[TANGODANCER]

And still no Sordell. Continues to mystify? No Petrov on the bench, is he injured?

[PC1978]

Is Petrov injured or dropped?

[Jez]

Davies or butterfield out wide? Im guessing he wants sparky and eagles cutting in but not really sold on the line up

[Relentless09]

@OfficialBWFC: BWFC: Bogdan, Ricketts, Mills, Knight, Warnock, Eagles, Spearing, M Davies, Butterfield, Ngog, K Davies

442 ? 4312 ?

[TANGODANCER]

Looks a balanced enough side and bench. Bit surprised at two up front for starters though. Seems we might be going to go at them all out from the off with Eagles doing a wing job.

[Ianmooreslovechild]

442 coyle out!

Assume Butterfield on the right. I did wonder if we'd go 442 for this one.I suspect sordell will be loaned out to a london club by the end of next week. Petrov,well you just dont know do you,bit lazy with a high opinion of himself. I imagine he manages to fall out with every manager he plays for at some point tho of course he could just be injured. Didnt last long last time he started did he?

[lovethesmellofnapalm]

looks a narrow 4-4-2 to me.
maybe even a 4-3-1-2? the one being Eagles

[Ianmooreslovechild]

Makes sense given Barnsley are likely to come and sit deep and park the bus. We dont appear too worried about their attack. I'm impressed again that he is picking teams according to what we have to compete against. Hopefully we arent underestimating Barnsley,they are very goalshy and short on confidence so we should be ok
