Barnsley Post Match Thoughts

[Scum-Triumphant]

So far this season Evans has blamed.
The referee.
How far away Exeter is
Powell.
Phillips
Humphreys
Fans not understanding football when sitting back against Birmingham.
Nombe
Matt Taylor
Leam Richardson

Any chance of the manager taking any responsibility for himself?

Not a hope!

As a 9 year old I was at Oakwell with my 8 year old cousin last time we won there. Yesterday that same cousin took my 8 year old grandson and I was hopeful it might me 'a sign'. No chance.

They were sat close to SE and after the game I texted him that I didn't think we'd score if we played for another 54 years. His response.

"Steve Evans thinks otherwise on radio deedar! I don't think he knows what he's doing tbh!

Old school dinosaur! One bad pass and he's waving his arms about and screaming! Who'd want to play for him? The younger kids, I can imagine been frightened to put a foot wrong!"

Pretty good summary I'd say.

Put it in a blender.

Damn, that was my next one 😄

Would it be fair to say Evans was hired and a huge amount of players recruited in the summer with one aim and one aim only and that was to get promoted back to the championship this season .

I don't sense this was some type of project thing with a longer term view .

That is 100% what planned. Clearly.

It's not worked out.

TS was advised, repeatedly, not to hire Evans again. This is why he sacked Matty Taylor and then told the board his plan. The board said no, especially his son.... Eventually we got LR in. A compromise man who did nothing to plug the holes.

TS got his way, it's backfired.

He's probably currently thinking about selling up and will really not want to sack his "son" because hes never let him down.

Some shoes.

Most cobblers would do a good job.

Run it over....your turn pup.

Eject it into space void without an appropriate spacesuit for snakes.

LR didn't do anything wrong,the team was doomed anyway,but he didn't do anything right either.He wanted to just tread water until the Summer and rebuild from there.That is a hard task to do with 20 odd games to go. TS was worried about season ticket sales and all other commercial income streams suffering if he didn't reignite interest in the club. Appointing Evans did work in relation to this. His bold,audacious statements increased the positive frenzy amongst the supporters and suddenly the Championship seemed an almost inevitable conclusion. Then it all went downhill.........the season kicked off.

Brin. Was told Stewart left when the second goal went in. Can you confirm that ? Not encouraging.

The Yorkshire Post reported that "Stewart and his entourage" left immediately after the second goal went in.
Our chairman does have previous form for doing this sort of thing but it will be interesting to see if the rumour of an announcement on Monday actually comes to fruition.

I think you can add Jack Holmes to this list. We didn’t win last night cos Jack missed his chance.
