Romared Match Thoughts Barnsley v Leyton Orient

[animallittle3]

An opportunity to provide the Oakwell faithful with some positivity to take in to the festive season .

There was a time when the final home game before Xmas would be shifted to Friday night so as to maintain harmony within families as hapless men folk would be expected to trudge around shops carrying large boxes of presents on the traditionally busiest shopping day of the year .

The Salvation army would be in attendance playing Christmas carols and the players would emerge from the tunnel and kick plastic football's in to the crowd that were fought over by young kids , Santa had indeed come early !! .

Brian Joicey would score a couple and Hartlepools United and their thug defenders would be sent back up the A1 with 3-0 at the back of them .

Nostalgia isn't what it was .

How many home league victories have we had this calendar year?

[Shadrack the Red]

Leyton Orient are another side who have picked up lately especially as they have found away to keep clean sheets but I do not know why but I feel confident of 3 points from this one, if things go wrong please form an orderly queue to give me a blasting !!

I think it's two home league wins since late February.

We need abart three not so wise men from the Orient bearing gifts as own goals or defensive howlers.

Hold on a minute. There's a story there to base the start of a religion if people swallow it.

Shocking record to be fair. The less said about our home form, the better.

Last game at Oakwell of 2024 so let's get it out of the way.

Matty Craig comes in for Luca Connell who, along with Adam Phillips, is not in the matchday squad.

Are we preparing for a January Sale ?

[Young_Nudger]

I wouldn?t want to see Connell leave - although he?s not looked half the player this season as he has in previous seasons.
Which may be the influence of DC.

As for Philips.
Waste of space last season - and same again this season.
We can?t afford to carry players that only contribute 15 minutes during a game.
