Barnsley Post Match Thoughts

[Millmoordays]

I don't think that the people who didn't want Evans back thought this season would end up as bad as it has. It has been a decision that has totally backfired in every single direction. It's strange because even after the first half at Exeter on the opening day I was thinking that this doesn't look good but it's ridiculous to form judgements after 45 minutes of a 46 game football season..........or is it? Could this be the end?

To answer you question fully, no I did not want him back and I knew why. I saw the summer signings, and knew why. I saw the first few games at home and knew why. And, no, it does not come as a surprise to how bad it would get, because once into September it was obvious to all but a blind man what would happen.

Never been sold on James. Pelly was he playing. Green he's a pretender. JCH he's gone. Get Artell in now to sort it for next season.

Or even as a part time caretaker.

Good point about Pelly, where did he go?

The bottom line.

Powell goes off. We get a corner. They all look clueless, no plan, or james was, who eventually trots across. And we were one down of course.

We are a team of effortless players , crocks , and duds . And have been for 2 seasons.. today was pathetic, I'm speechless, oakwell was a dreadful night , and today was no different. Powell one good game in every 6.. same with wilks . Pelly didn't have a kick . Rafferty pants . I could go on ,something has to change, otherwise we are going to be dragged into a relegation dog fight.

Amazing how you focus on the players and totally ignore the management, coaching and club leadership which are the real issues at the club.

2 poor teams,but we were worse,don`t think their keeper made a save,they could have put a midfielder in the net when the first goalie went off.
Whatever Evans had,he has lost,I fear we will be sucked into the relegation battle,my guess is....one of 2 things will happen,he will be sacked in the next week or so,or he will be sacked at the end of the season.
Oh and....Haks and Nombe played well.

I knew it was an omen when I was handed a Samaritans pen and card.
Thought we competed first half and might have had a penalty on half-time. As blatant as theirs I thought.
Stormed at them for a 5 minute spell, then threw the game away through our own ineptness. Game over.
Rest of the match our opponents took the Mickey out of the officials as did Shrewsbury.
I did think we were safe, now I can't see where our next win is coming from.

Since Don Valley only 2 decent managers, and as soon as bif clubs came knocking they left.

Both have found unemployment this season and both wouldn't touch us with a barge pole while this chairman and board run us into the ground.

2 managers...out of 15? and nigh on 15yrs.

It could get worse. Sack Evans...appoint Rob Scott!

Rotherham Uniteds problems start upstairs in the boardroom.

Any other conversation about managers, tactics, players is just moot.

Sack the board
