Barnsley v Sheff United match thoughts

[Acido]

Can it get any worse ehh lads, losing like that to a bunch of people from a city who always voted for Nick Clegg... yes I kid you not!!.
Ohh hello Rodney by the way, I didn't see you there.

Gallows humour is the best and probably only way to go about this Rod, and Im sure we've got loads of it in supply lol.
Its a case of what if yet again, what if we had brought it back to 1-2 before you got your third goal, who knows ehh. From looking like you might go on and get 5, to hanging on in stoppage time at the end, it must have been a really tough one to celebrate in the end.

Howdi chaps,i'm not here to gloat cos we won.I had a lovely day in a Hospitality suite today at Oakwell,free booze and food,what's not to like? The match was mediocre i thought, De Moose scored 2 good goals and at 3-0 up most teams would either have seen the game out easily or indeed go on and dish a pasting out but mi son and me even at 3-0 wern't confident the game was over and to be fair Barnsley hit the post and Cole missed a sitter before Barnsley scored.I think the Barnsley fans behind the goal were excellent today,their Gallows sense of humour was entertaining,we've lost the ball,we've won the ball etc; I hope apart from when you play us at BDBL your results improve but it could be a long season for both our clubs given today's and recent form.

Quality post Rod from a very respected visitor on here .

Can't argue with what you've posted .

From what I've read just now on bbs posted by a lad who spoke to Conway pre match Schopp isn't going anywhere .

Conway is of the opinion that Schopp has been unlucky with injuries , covid , visa delays and people leaving the club behind the scenes .

They are taking a longer term view of Schopp .

Just about sealing our fate and relegation to league one is my view .

I think they’ll sack him, might be wrong. Conways not going to tell some fan that his manager will get sacked after the game if he loses. No boss would do that.

I was listening to live commentary of the match on Benjamin Bloom's youtube channel, and I was struggling to stay awake in the first half. But I actually thought hey they are no better than us here, can we snatch this ?. Well the rest is history of course, and the short answer to that question was NO we can't lol.

One fan posted a suggestion/rumour though along the lines of Cauley Woodrow the captain is amongst a few players who think the training standards are nowhere near good enough. Now, if thats true do they mean its too strict and its causing loads of player injuries, or do they mean its not strict enough and its why too many players are still unfit!.

I find it very believable though and its just another in a long line of mistakes that have taken us from 5th last season, to where we are now this season, in a relatively short space of time.

Probably not ESR , what's troubling me is that by sacking Schopp it's reflective of Conway and his mismanagement of the club in the summer across all levels .

Not to mention the pay off , money we don't have .

The players definitely took matters in to their own hands at 0-3 .

Collins started kicking it long up the field instead of the short stuff with the back three .

Cole seemed especially fired up as if to say feck that tw@t in the technical area we are playing our way now .

Whether this leads to a change in the way we play going forward I couldn't say .

Any rebels in the squad could easily be sent packing to the U23's quite easily .

The whole group will have to be together as one to challenge the HC , he can't drop 15 players after all .

Woodrow needs to lead this thing with the players firmly behind him and give the HC with absolutely no option but to change direction .

[EastStandRed]

It all depends on the contract. They may continue to just pay him his salary until he gets another job and then compo.

Conway lawyers will be all over it

They were very brave SB. There were a few more than I expected in there.

who gives the stand the Fire Certificate? Maybe the Chronicle can find out…?

As I and a few fans have also said Animal, the players aren't totally blameless in all of this and if that was them fighting for themselves at 0-3 down, it just shows what they are capable of doesn't it. We always knew they were capable of much better than what they have shown so far, so hopefully we will see more of this now in matches instead of them simply looking like they were feeling sorry for themselves.
That idea of Cole really looking like he was wanting to prove a point up front today interests me, and surely he will get a run of games now instead of being dropped immediately again. Victor sounded like he was a real nuisance to the defenders by holding them off and laying it off etc, without offering any goal threat whatsoever though!.
And sadly Cauley and Frieser especially, sounded totally invisible and offered little or nothing between them. Is that fair to think that ?.

Barnsley council issued the safety certificate last month Jules .

A poster on bbs has ordered a copy under the freedom of information act and will put it on that forum when he receives the copy .

Should be any day now .

If that stand wasn't safe absolutely nobody would be sat in there .
