Romared Match Thoughts Barnsley v Port Vale

[SBRed48]

The Oakwell Summer Sh1tshow, plus a few other circumstances, mean the team rolling out tomorrow---

1) Will have no Duff and Assistant. Despite him speaking with forked tongue about the long haul he was a good coach with experience in the lower EFL leagues capable of organising young free agent players into a team that had a routine to win games. Replaced by Collins and Stead who haven't been near the English game for several years.

2) Will have lost two experienced keepers in Collins and Isted. Replaced by loanee Roberts who played four times in the Boro first team last season.

3) Will have lost two key experienced defenders, Andersen (club captain) and best player plus Barry Thomas. Replaced by a non league punt from Woking

4) Will not have Phillips (suspended) and Connell (still badly-bilious?) in midfield. Replaced maybe by want-away Styles and Russell.

5) Will be without attack leader, the experienced Norwood, who lit up Wembley and was in form pre season. Replaced by non league punts/ Watters

Good luck with that Mr Collins, a victory nailed on. of course.

The "New Board" and Ahmad can no longer ride on the coat tails of Duff.

......and it will be p1ssing darn and windy. Fans can, of course, book in at the Legends Suite to get in the warm---just £108 each plus no refund on any existing ST.
