Well, if everyone does concentrate on him because of his goalscoring prowess, then perhaps they'll leave other players unmarked...Worthy4England wrote:We need to stop sending him up for corners, when we're in front.

Re: Away, Barnsley.
He knew he was offside(or at least I hope so!). A lot of the Barnsley faithful I spoke to think he's shit but I thought our strikers were much sharper than theirs. Harewood or Davies? I know which I'd have in my side.officer_dibble wrote: What the feck did craig davies think he was doing? Did he forget he wsnt playing for barnsley and just chest it back to steele?
Great match. Think we deserved it in the end, expect for a spell where we looked shaky for the first 15 minutes of the second half we were probably the much better side. Restricted Barnsley to long range efforts mainly and looked comfortable in the first 45. One criticism of Freedman for me is that we drop way too deep when we're defending a lead, its not good for the nerves! BUT we obviously work on that in training as opposed to the West Brom debacle at home last season.
To have any realistic hope of play offs we need 8 wins. Its a long shot but we must be the form team in the division at the moment and other teams have gone on runs like that and faded. Why can't we? In any case I think we'll be contending for top 6 next season under Dougie. The summer transfer window will be very interesting.

Re: Away, Barnsley.
Any highlights (brief no doubt) anywhere to re-live the goals again?

Re: Away, Barnsley.
This was because I did not realize the Leeds game was an early start. However, bettyrasta pointed this out before you did and so I changed my rather weird construction (which you appeared to have missed). It occurred to me that doing things in "real" time can change things quite rapidly depending on when goals are scored and, of course, when the Beeb factors them in. Or as you say, the Beeb could have made a mistake. Sorry to have bemused you. carry on.thebish wrote:bobo the clown wrote:Talk about an arguement about the size of a grain of salt. Sheesh.

I saw the table with my eyes - it was wrongly recorded for a time - the BBC corrected it - end of story. I was a bit bemused by Monty's rather weird reconstruction including Leeds...
tell us summat interesting about the game Bobo!

yeah - they did. as we were winning on the live table they gave us 48pts. at the end of the game they gave us 45pts. half an hour after the end of the game they put us back to 48pts. mistake. that's all.

Re: Away, Barnsley.
So did anybody find anybody else via pin badges or elephant shorts? I felt a right divvy looking around the ground trying to spot elephant shorts. Plus I made a complete plonker of myself in the pub before, asked a couple of people sat sitting and supping whether they were on TW - turned out they had no idea what I was bleating on about as they were Tykes!!!!

Re: Away, Barnsley.
On a good note, if we don't get into the playoffs and are still in the Championship, it looks like the Blades and Donnie might well be promoted, which means two more easily gettable-to away matches for me next year. Yay!

Seems to be cheap trains around Yorkshire too. It costs about £20 return for me to the 'Bok. Barnsley was less than £5 return for me, Huddersfield was similar, Sheff Weds was much less and Sheff United would be free.Lost Leopard Spot wrote:On a good note, if we don't get into the playoffs and are still in the Championship, it looks like the Blades and Donnie might well be promoted, which means two more easily gettable-to away matches for me next year.

Remember looking up how much it'd be to Norwich last season and it was more than going to London at the time (I forget, £60+).

Do you mean, where I was drinking. I started out at the one near the train station (name eludes me, big room at front standing room only) then onto to the Dove (?) near the ground, where I made my 'introductions'.officer_dibble wrote:Which pub?

Re: Away, Barnsley.
Yep, they take the p**s down here when it comes to trains, it costs me more to go to school (1 stop, 3 mins on train) then it costs to go from Piccadilly to Horwich (which takes 30 mins and is 4 stops).Armchair Wanderer wrote:Seems to be cheap trains around Yorkshire too.

while we are all moaning at about how expensive everything is down here, tickets for Charlton away will start at £30, yep that is right newly promoted Charlton will charge us £30 to visit south west London. willl be the most expensive ticket I buy this season.
The above post is complete bollox/garbage/nonsense, please point this out to me at any and every occasion possible.
