Barnsley Post Match Thoughts

[Ericsladkilnhurst]

There was a mass walkout after the second goal went in but there was anger from the remaining fans and TS was called out by a number of disgruntled fans in the West Stand.I agree that apathy has set in and season ticket fans are just not taking their seats at matches.I SUSPECT THE TURNOUT WILL BE VERY LOW FOR OUR NEXT HOME MATCH. Surely the board must make some announcement after our relegation will be sealed at Wigan.

Paul Douglas polishing the record player, ready for the ever used record from the club, for the end of the season statement.
Altogether now
" we have learnt from what has happened, during the past season, the club are aware of the fans disappointment with the clubs position ".
" we will endeavour to turn things around for the coming season, & look forward to fans renewing their season tickets, lessons learnt the club & fans together will move the club forward ".

I think it will help everyone concerned,the chairman,the fans,the manager,and any players that are left,if we can get a change of ownership started soon,or if the Stewarts are staying then just something positive from the club,as I think that things are maybe in state of transition at the minute.
I`m sure this would help the sale of season tickets no end !

That interview did not need to be kept in the dressing room, I think it was a well calculated interview. He knows that a derby defeat was the perfect time, after a few weeks he has seen enough to know where the issues lie and the best way to deal with the cancer is cut it out.

I don’t know if he is the right man for next year, and I am not keen on spending more money buying another Stevenage manager either. What I do know is that interview was a clear message to his employer, you have people here that you pay very well that are scamming you and scamming the fans, that is what I heard.

We need players that want to play football, that want to win and are willing to treat their bodies the way they should do to achieve that, we need a chairman that removes the “yes men” and realizes that playing to his ego has led to failure and a waste of his money. The sooner this painful season is over the better, but I hope TS is not listening to the clowns that got us and him in this mess and he is listening to some new voices that can help him protect his legacy.

Start sacking them now Tony we need a huge clear out top to bottom.

Derbs, I'm 100 percent with you that it should not have been kept behind closed doors. He was right to call them out they are not wanted here. If you want a Manager to get them to pour it all out, interview them straight after a defeat, it happened to Wilder a few months back when he laid some home truths down that weren't received warmly, Hourihane at Barnsley only a month ago telling the fans theirs no money at the club so don't expect a top 6 finish next season.....wow how to kill the ST sales before they begin .

Clark quotes, 'Dropping out of training', if he had not said that we would never had known and all we would hear and see posted is Lee Clark is crap because that's the cheapest shot just to blame a Manager.

As for your closing line, that won't happen as there's only a few weeks left of the season. It wouldn't help TS to pay somebody off, might as well make them work for their living til the season end then possibly say adios.

Maybe a new owner is just around the corner picking up and hearing all of what's wrong and will look to right it all?

I am not on about the players, there are people in that club that shouldn't be involved for planning for League 2. The players will be sorted in May and June the leadership from TS needs to start now

Purposely waited until the mud-slinging and knee-jerk stuff had dropped off before commenting.

Actually thought we were okay first half. I thought Baptiste had a blinder down the right side and was working well with Biancheri, who himself had a good half aside from the misses (these things happen, he's a kid and will get better). Gore was everywhere and every bit as involved defending and attacking. Benson seemed to be trying too hard to do something special rather than keeping it simple. No real issue before their goal.

After they scored, when we needed to go from being mostly in charge to absolutely charging at them, we just slowed down and offered very little. Not sure if there was a reason for the swap down the right, but Hall/Martha instead of Baptiste/Biancheri wasn't as effective. Can't comment on what happened after 64 minutes because I left, knowing we wouldn't get the three goals we then needed, and had slowed down to a stroll in any case. Not the earliest departure this season (just) but not a lonely walk back to the car.

Clark's assessment after the match was more interesting than the second half performance. Seems to me that his language indicates he's not just here until May. I'm torn on whether that would be good or bad right now. Clearly very passionate, but we had that last year and it fell apart. Also lacks experience in the division we'll be in, which we had this season and that fell apart. If he stays, he needs a proper number two and to be given the tools to work with - I don't think he'll get the latter.

Pure apathy for me right now with what happens on the pitch.
