Good start. Who’d have thought if you play quick ball with quick players it might work!

Giving this a bump as I need some holiday book inspiration! My current favourite genres and authors are in the below. Any recommendations?

First family holiday with kids coming up in a few days….. Always swore I wouldn’t do it with kids this young, as it’ll be like spending time with them at home, except without their home comforts, routines - and even the occasional break via the Grandparents! However, I’ve been persuaded and...

I’m a massive fan of Rudoni - we aren’t getting the best out of him. Partly as we’re asking him to play a role he isn’t used to. Sound familiar?! I liked COH too, but he probably had a dozen good games in two years through injury and match sharpness. So he hasn’t left the same hole a permanent...

Last year he was asked to play the Hamer role + his own. It didn’t work. This year he’s being asked to play a different role again, and it isn’t working. Lack of a Hamer replacement is telling again.

Yea let’s turn on our best manager of recent times. And now our best midfielder. Like him or not, think he’s overrated or not, he is our best midfielder and we need him to start playing again. He was poor today, and has been since he came back, but he doesn’t suddenly become shit. Re his...

Needs someone to pull them all together and work through whatever is going on. There were reports of dysfunction last year which were rectified. Year before Godden and Gyokeres fell out. All seemed to get sorted and turned round. Issue this time is who takes that role on? Sheaf is a quiet lead...

Yea @Saddlebrains often mentions the attitude of the ‘Barnsley Three’. @Sky Blue Goblin hinted at something too. Always presumed (based on additional information) it was mainly Kitching. Perhaps Thomas has the attitude too? I know people get upset when information gets shared on here, but a)...

Not uncommon for Thomas to have a disagreement with a team mate. Glass houses and all that.

Is this going to be like your Steven Alzate obsession?

The boo boys DaSilva and Lati were stand outs at the back. Binks was fine too. Thomas has his increasing frequent all over the place game. Some good bits, but lots of bad. Rudoni good in small glimpses but not involved enough. Said it numerous times now; he’s not a 10. I’m not on the Bassette...

Re the Robins reaction, it can be interpreted in different ways. For me, he’s probably as angry and pissed off ad we all are. I like the fact he gave it back, it shows he cares and despite the mild mannered, composed MR we see 99% of the time, he proved the external MR we see isn’t necessarily...

My summary of my own post; don’t want him to go but if he does, he deserves a better send off that this. That applies to players and fans.

Heard he stole their bag of talcum powder too.

MR clearly has to take some blame. But he’s always been poor with subs and a tactically conservative manager. This isn’t new. Difference now is the players aren’t performing, and that’s a combination of him/coaches and players themselves. I don’t want him gone, but recognise the end might be...

Was he having a go or just telling them to stop having a go at the players? Forget how shit we are and whether he should go or not. Sad times when fans with nothing about them have a go at our most successful manager of recent times.

That isn’t a handball and if it was, why didn’t the ref blow when it first happened instead of when we scored.

MVE really not on it - and we have no obvious replacement. In fairness he’s getting a lot of ball with his back to goal in his own half, which is tricky. But he’s just not on it today.

I know he’s a boo boy on here, but JDS is having a good game at both ends.

Our right side looks vulnerable. Thomas in mare mode, and MVE looking off it too. Sheaf having a poor game on the ball too, indecisive and slow.
