Just a personal note. Barnsley are not only a poor side they

Wed Feb 02, 2022 12:54 pm

Just a personal note. Barnsley are not only a poor side they also have a massive injury list (I think).


I can not see them scoring a goal ! We should have a field day . However , we all know that in football it can sometimes be Sods law.


I will be really surprised and disappointed if we don’t get an easy win.


Is this the general feeling ?

I see your thinking Annis but in the position we’re in, I’d take a scrappy 1-0 now. :bluescarf:

It is; but we've been bitten on the backside before now! :cry:

However, I think/hope the team under Steve Morison has reached a major and positive turning point over the latter part of the January Transfer Window and should have what is needed to gain at leat 4 pts from 6 over the next two Championship games and hopefully more :thumbright:

Yep, although for this type of game I couldn't give a monkeys if we win easily by five or scrape a last minute winner in a awful game, it's points that matter.

The other thing we have to factor in is that Barnsley will be fighting for their lives tonight (as supporters we would expect this if we were in their position) as they'll know if they lose they're really going to struggle.

I hope that you're right and that it is an easy win though, it would certainly be easier on my blood pressure :oops: :lol:

I agree and will be happy with 3pts, but this is the time to take advantage of them.

An early goal like the forrest game would really help lets hope hugill is on song again.

Dangerous for us to be too complacent, they've recently lost by one goal to Bournemouth and drawn with Huddersfield and West Brom, but we should and need to beat them !!!!

A penalty for Morrison getting half killed from every corner would be nice, I'm sure if someone stabbed him the ref would wave play on !!!!

There are never any easy wins in championship. Derby have proved this and they have been in turmoil with patched up squad.

Whilst I would love 3 nil win. 1 nil scrappy is just as fine.

Last home game Bournemouth scrapped a 1.0 it won't be easy.

In theory yes, however football is a funny old game so anything can happen. City new boys may be tired. I’ll take a scrappy win

If we can't beat a team who have not won a league game for 12 games the we deserve to struggle think they have had two or three draws in the to.
