Player ratings V Barnsley

Angry perhaps it's Shackells understanding of the word channel. He probably thinks it means the English channel

[ramAnag]

Our manager RamAnag is of course Paul Heckinbottom, a Barnsley born former player and coach who as it turned out was the natural choice to step up as manager/coach in the summer.
I dont think we're expecting too much this season and surely 'Heckers' wont be part of the so called Champship managerial sack race, when it starts to happen.

Sorry Acido, the fact that I hadn't heard of Heckinbottom wasn't meant to sound condescending, just making the point that our famous manager and wealthy household name players were completely out thought and out fought by your more 'home grown' side yesterday.

Doh, yep missed Martin but agree. Said on another thread that when he came on he did no better than Bent.
What happened in the concourse? I remember some singing and high spirits but nothing ott.
The lad who got ejected in the first half was on a mission though.

Nothing that spectacular in the cold light of day perhaps Angry. Derby fans repeatedly slamming and kicking the big steel door by the bar, chucking beer around, saw a bloke - probably in his mid sixties and just minding his own business - hit in the small of the back by a full bottle of beer that had been thrown 'cartwheeling' through the air from about twenty yards away. No great harm done but could have been. Just ****** me off, moronic really and not what I go to matches for but not so serious I suppose. The 'tribe' mentality just seems to bring out the worst in the idiot element at away matches, nothing new there.

Full bottle if beer! Probably took best part of 30 mins to get that.. Some people have no brains.

Firstly.. Well played Barnsley.. Did a job on us. Little Angry even smiled when they got their second as it was an old team mate of his who scored. Well done Alfie.

Carson 6 - Did not command his area as he normally does. Unlucky with the first goal.
Christie 6 - Huffed and puffed, got forward well but how many times did he waste the final ball. Still probably our best player on the day.
Keogh 6 - Some misplaced passes again. Nothing special.
Shackell 5 - Is he told to play long balls into channels? I hope he is otherwise he would have got a 1.
Fozzy 4 - Poor but probably put in too soon.
Bryson 4 - Poor decisions all day. Poor shooting.. Just poor.
Hendrick 5 - Unlucky with the injury.
Blackman 5 - Did he do anything?
Ince 6 - Huffed and puffed but little went for him.
Butterfield 5 - Had not impact wide.
Bent 2 - WTF

Hughes 5- Poorest I have ever seen him. Chin up Will.
Russell 6 - Atleat he made Barnsley think.

Management 0 - Words fail me.

So, we've gone from a side who can beat Hull away to one that cannot string a pass together and is squabbling amongst its senior players. So why is that? A managerial change is supposed to bring a honeymoon period and increased effort from the players?!? Or maybe, the players just don't seem to understand what the new manager wants? I know what I think....

[mistaram]

Ella tell us what you think !

I am agreeing with you...

I'd be angry if someone chucked a beer at me no doubt.. To be honest it's always been like that, even way back.
We just went and sat in the stand. Nice sunny day (for a while)..

My old dad once went to a RangersvCeltic match and said it was 'raining' EMPTY' whiskey bottles which was somewhat frightening!! When he arrived at the ground he said that he found it strange that people were taking brolleys into the ground on a hot September day!! Around half time when suddenly a volley of bottles began he understood. This was just after the war when he worked up there, surprisingly he never went again

You are angry and it wasn't thrown at me...it was okay in the stand...quite good humoured in the circumstances but far too many ****heads down below, toilets were awash by the end - an inch deep in something - and there was trouble from early leavers at the 'Court House' pub after the match. What's the point?
