Luxo Jr. Posted January 17, 2017 Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 For all those that say "It's Fleetwood, of course we should have beaten them" - Barnsley just lost to Blackpool, now in League 2.

To be perfectly honest, if we Lose to forest on Saturday have we really achieved anything mate? I'm not saying I wanted us to lose at all and I'm pleased we won, but if we lose to forest then LJ is still going to be taking shots on here (not by me I must add).

We know the frustrations, unfortunately we're used because of our big money bids last season (Gray/Gayle 6/7m each). Clubs use us as advertising for their players, at least your clubs getting used due to your good scouting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please take the money and go down. At least you'll be a much richer club in Division One, which should help you go up again. Oh Yeh, and it also will help us to avoid the dreaded drop.

We've suffered that and continue to be used by agents when we have absolutely no interest in the players quoted. Our recruitment team have recently stepped up to the plate and have ' stealth ' signed most of our additions. We are lucky to get most of them signed up before anyone's aware .

Not trying to be clever, but do you think to some extent you (Barnsley) got through the summer window with your squad in tact, got the Stones money, the Mawson money and thought that you might get the likes of Winnall, Hourihane etc to sign new contracts? Just wondering. Had you not done quite as well this season, might a few have gone under the radar and been less likely to have had their heads turned.

Rascal Posted January 19, 2017 Report Share Posted January 19, 2017 We offered them contracts in the summer, and they knocked them back saying they want to keep their options open, even though we received no official bids in the summer, I honestly believe they'd been tapped up by a few clubs with the promise of big money if they proved they could cut it at this level. I think anyone who watched our team regularly last season knew that we would pull up some trees this season despite the step up, it was obvious to us all, agents, players, staff, board members, and fans. So we was always going to struggle to compete when it came to offering new contracts we knew this but it still stings a little. Ultimately we're suffering from our own success but at least we've had a little success at long last. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not so sure we have battered anyone this season and lost but we have in many games had majority of possession and passed it round nicely sideways , back and forth but never any penetrating or through balls for players to run onto. It seems a lot of the time we are trying to walk the ball in and when we do shoot its very rarely on target or forces the keeper to make a save or be tested at all. Similar to that Man City game last weekend , they had 70% possession but got beat 4-0 by Everton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't disagree with you, but there have been several games where possession, shots, corners etc. have been so much in our favour that we should surely have won. For instance: Rotherham (a): 75% possession, 35 shots to 10, 11 corners to 5. Drew 2-2 Newcastle(h): 57% possession, 17 shots to 8, 6 corners to 3. Lost 1-0 Derby (h): 61% possession, 17 shots to 11. Drew 1-1 Reading (a): only 48% possession, but 26 shots to 13, 6 corners to 3. Lost 2-1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit of both I think! We don't seem to work keepers enough, but when we do, they seem to have their best game against us. On a similar note, referees also seem to have their worst games against us!!! (or maybe I'm just biased. I'm sure I'm not!!!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
