I said a day or two ago apathy was a killer.
We have scraped into the Play Offs by virtue of one of Lincoln or Blackpool not winning on final day. For e few minutes we were out of the Play Offs when we were drawing 0-0 and both Oxford and Blackpool were winning. The key moment was when the Lincoln player slipped taking a penalty to put them 1-0 up. Fine margins.
In early March there was talk of coming second. Our form since then has been shocking and has created a feeling that we have blown it before even kicking a ball in the Play Offs.
Add this poor form to the well rehearsed failings of Head Coach and the Board/ Senior Officers over recent years and it produces a general feeling of malaise, a general feeling that "summat's not reyt darn theear".
But who knows, a fluke goal or two, Bolton not quite at it, beating Oxford at Wembley and it's "Barns a lee, Barns a lee FC. We're the greatest football team the world has ever seen", "Oxford's a sh1thole, I want to go home" and "Eee I Eee I Eee I O, Up the Football League we go, We are Barnsley, We are Barnsley, Thalhammer is our King"
And then we fail to strengthen and get relegated.
