Warnock

[Barnsley Chop]

To late now to appoint any one else from outside of the club - the ship is listing and sinking fast.

Too late for anyone to save us now I think. We need 36 points from 18 games, 2 points per game, not going to happen.

I reckon 40 points might just scrape it this season Arby. Usually it's 50 points but the 4 teams directly involved this season aren't going to muster up that kind of points tally imo. Personally I think we are done for but let's bear in mind that Reading are in total free fall, Peterborough are on a par with us and Derby surely can't do it can they? Especially if a few injuries hit them. The PMG have been possibly given yet another lifeline here but have done the bare minimum in the January window.

If we can somehow manage to find 26 points from the remaining 18 games then I think it could just about be enough this season. Its not impossible but the reality is that unless we win the next game and gain some kind of momentum and take it on then we are fighting the odds even more.

You could be right Pass. I still think that if Reading continue to fall, Derby could do it. However, I can see Reading changing their manager and pulling away. Although I predicted a loss at the weekend, I also had a strong feeling after the midweek performance that we could possibly win the cup tie and it could start a decent run of form. We will get some more points at some stage but I just can't see when it's going to start. Normally I'm optimistic, but I can't see us getting out of this one.

Yes I agree mate and it's frustrating. Our lads deserved more out of the Cardiff game and didn't get the breaks with the wrongly disallowed goal. Helik scores what looked a perfectly legitimate goal at Huddersfield and it gets chalked off cos a stiff breeze hit the Huddersfield defender and the ref falls for it hook line and sinker. These are big moments that could possibly turn our season around.

As we know the Barnsley players are young. They thrive on confidence and can build momentum when things are going our way. We need a bit of fortune to go our way and who knows?

What I would say is that despite still having a glimmer of hope, the set up is fundamentally wrong which ultimately means the directors have caused our own downfall and deservedly so. I think back to the Struber season where, ok we were not getting results but the performances and effort were there in most games. I genuinely felt that we were about to turn a corner if we got a break.

The only way I see us escaping here is to go back to last seasons tactics and get big Victor, Cole and Morris causing havoc for opposition defenders. Cole is a trier and runs with energy and purpose and is in your face and direct. I criticised him at QPR earlier in the season when he was sauntering about but the last few games I've seen him give his all which will do for me. Victor is a handful and with some good man management i believe we can see him make an impact. Morris we know is quality. Thaz got Iseka to come off the bench too.

This can still be done. The stupid thing is that the transfer window has now been and gone and the PMG have clearly given up the ghost.

I think we'll be looking at the league table in May and rhuing the fact that a points tally in the early 40s was good enough to keep us up and we fell short.

I'm very happy with those 3 strikers to be honest Pass. Midfield creativity is what we're missing, hopefully Quina and Bassi can add that
The 2 decisions in the last 2 games are the type that can affect a bad run. Both poor decisions, but the one against Huddersfield, SB was right when he said Bassi gave the ref an excuse to give the decision.
PMG; you're right, they've given up the ghost. They're putting maximum effort into maintaining their finances lol.

Correct Pass.

The January window confirmed what we knew. Conway has given up as regards success on the field (if he ever is really bothered abart that0 and is preparing financially for Div Three with its £6 million drop in income. Players will need to be sold and the only incomers are loan players until the summer.

We may evva "little run" of three or four games unbeaten which raises false hopes but we are darn.

Included in the 18 games left we ev fixtures like---
Coventry A
Hull A
Boro H
Fulham H
Sheff Utd A
Swansea A
WBA A

where a can't see us gerrin much, leaving us needing to win virtually all the rest, starting tomorrow neet at Luton and the ooam game against QPR on Setdi.

I see this speculation as total ballax.
As it runs directly against the direction PMG are taking Barnsley.

The attraction to sign Asbaghi was that he has an excellent record of working with and developing young players - he plays the preferred PMG style of European high press tippy tappy football - and his wage is relatively low.

Warnock is an old fashioned type of manager that will cost a fortune to employ.

Even after missed opportunities in the January transfer window - we still have players that could make a fight of it.
A much better fight of it than what we are seeing.
Warnock would bring that out in them.

The gamble that PMG have is - do they suffer costs of relegation - or do they gamble paying Warnock ?
Unfortunately I don’t think PMG are bothered - I think they will stick with Asbaghi as they see him as a long term coach.

It would be the most out of character thing that PMG have done whilst at Barnsley if they brought Warnock in.
I’d be pleased but absolutely flabbergasted if they did.

[SBRed48]

A Warnock Conway "conversation" would last abart a minute, most of it being Warnock expletives abart Conway sticking the job up his fat arseoyle.
