who will be left to sign

[animallittle3]

Barnsley are hardly the model of stability when it comes to keeping managers for any length of time and I agree they were very lucky last season to achieve what they did.

The point I'm trying to make is that there seems to be an attitude amongst a section of our fans that a drop to league 1 will be a easy season of pain before we come roaring back to take the Championship by storm.

I don't share their optimism and personally believe if we go down it will be several years before we are back.

Also the difference between league 1 and the Championship gets wider year on year which will make it even more difficult when we come back up and lead to us becoming the stereotypical yo-yo club.

A football season is 46 games long and just because you accumulate the majority of your points during the second half of the season matters not , we gained enough points to qualify for the play offs and drew the top team Walsall who we despatched 6-1 on aggregate , we completed the job comfortably beating Millwall 3-1 , no penalty shoot outs required , three emphatic play off victories on the back of a 4-1 win at champions Wigan on the final day to get us through the door .

Nowt lucky about it , if we'd gelled sooner in the season we'd have won the league by a country mile .

OK fellow oldie - you played Newport at home and won and we then beat Plymouth at home 2-1 - if my memory is still working?

Aye that's right mate , you won 2-0 at Millmoor in September and we won 1-0 at Oakwell to clinch promotion in April , however we also won at Millmoor in the FA cup second round which made us the better team that season and therefore you stole the title off us .

[rolymiller]

Ah happy days and we had a team then that would take this league by storm and 10 times better than than one we have now.Was the 1-0 win at Oakwell the game where a certain Mr Moore wore a policemans helmet and conducted your fans in a sing song animal?
