Luxo Jr. Posted January 17, 2017 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. A win is a win, no matter who's in front of you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Precisely. Not bashing Barnsley at all, just highlighting to others how important a win can be, especially after our run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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).

You just be putting out the 'for sale' sign, I am sure we would have more bids for our players if we let it be known that they are for sale. Where is the money you are making from transfers going?

Unan Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 49 minutes ago, Rascal said: As soon as we enquirer about players, their clubs are leaking it which means other clubs are taking interest due to fact we've found a fair few diamonds recently, so we're struggling to get deals over the line at prices we have budgeted for . 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.

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...
