    Hi Acido.
    It was a tough match last night under poor conditions. Barnsley are a good side this season under your new manager and the high press works well for you. We adapted our game to your style and the state of the pitch, we don’t normally play heading tennis.
    You had your chances though but unlucky this time.
    Our chances of promotion? As good as anybody’s I suppose. With our USA owners reluctant to invest any money, we are relying on loanees to make up the squad. We’ve just lost three of them, recalled to their parent clubs, so our squad is a bit thin on the ground, therefore fingers crossed on the injury front. The Championship is a tough league to get out of and any team can beat the other on the day, so to predict if we can get promotion is a bit early with only half way gone. We are solid defensively this season which is a big thing, another is consistency.
    I was up your place last season when we drew there. We walked into town from the ground to the local Wetherspoons. When we returned to watch the match the bridge over the railway line on the way to the ground was blocked off, it frightened the life out of us as we thought we’d miss the match. After asking someone we had to walk to the train station to get over to the other side.
    Good luck for the rest of the season.

    Cheers Jack.
    Yes we play that 'gagenpress' type football, which has caught a lot of teams out this season. It's not always effective though and credit to Cooper, he got your team to react well to it in both games against us.
    Naarich look good this season, and Brentford impressed me when they win at ours. I can't say that I'm too impressed though with Bournemouth.
