Barnsley, got a question.
Your old manager left earlier on in the season saying something about being promised a strike force to go with your style of play. I can't remember the full exchange he had when he left.
Did your team have any improvements in the playing area, namely attack, when the new manager came in.
Just curious.

Surely you don't need @Barnsley to tell you that? We only played them last Sunday! Did you not see them playing Dike, their £20m forward?

I don't follow the game as close as everyone else here. I really didn't know. I was just trying to find out what the cause of the upturn of their season was, if there was one.

He was right, we needed goal scorers, it was the only thing that was missing, we just couldn’t score goals, everything else was more than adequate for a top half finish. when Ian came in he got the ball forward quickly (hoof), which saw us playing football in the attacking third much more, which allowed us to create way more chances, and as a result we got more goals. In January we brought two strikers in and shipped two out and we’ve been in good form in front of goal since.

If we can avoid Swansea anything can happen, dare to dream, cop for Swansea and we’re done for.

Of the games we played against, Brentford, Bournemouth and Swansea , I would say that Bournemouth were the best and Swansea easily the worst. We should have beat them at St Andrews and matched them away despite losing 1-0. I think that Swansea, along with Cardiff are the most cynical of teams in this league, for their gamesmanship (cheating), take one for the team fouls and timewasting.

Yeah, Swansea were awful bastards. Surrounding the ref at every opportunity, even when they’d committed fouls.

They’ll play to stop us playing our natural game, the other two are arrogant enough to believe they’re too good for us, and will play their natural game which is brilliant for us.
Dike 9 goals
Morris 8 goals

Dike going back to Orlando before the play offs?

According to a yank journalist who’s been full of shite since we signed him.
Our CEO said we’ve got a fee agreed with Orlando, and it’s in the same ball park as we normally pay, Yank says $18M.
Tuesday our CEO said we’ve agreed a fee to keep him until June, Yank says he’s going back.

He’s only 20 but if he can find a decent club for the next 3 years he’ll be a £60K a week player in his mid 20s potential to be very good.

£60k a week for a poor man’s Dele Adebola. Games gone mad.

That makes me a 5k a week player easy

Is that the lad that was upfront against us? I thought Barnsley had signed Matthieu Manset for a 1 off game.

From the man who said:-
" Do the likes of Dongle think his value is increasing? Can't see anyone wanting him - he's been poor. "
and:-
" He's only a £9 million player with the fantasists on here. "
About Maddison. And yes, we know you bumped the thread, you've said it enough times.

Sorry - t'whippets. I am familiar with the vernacular - I went out with a lass from Barnsley for four years.

Even more impressive when you think he’ll not have played much over an hour in most of the 18 games he’s played in, and just over 30 minutes in a few, as Ian changes the front three after an hour most games.

We can’t afford him, Top end premier league clubs are after him, £10m+ if we go up, but we’d never pay that for anyone, even with the ridiculous money we’d get .

Why he’s scored 9 goals in the championship, he’s built like a 25 year old he’d piss it in to any of them teams in my opinion. Even city side, he’d score hat fulls at that level he’s a fully grown bloke at 20 years old.
