There are no easy games this season (not sure if you’re being serious might’ve missed something)
There are no easy games this season (not sure if you’re being serious might’ve missed something)2-0 Cov. This will be a walk in the park. Easiest game of the season.
Far tougher tests ahead.

Have they changed the rules regarding a straight red card then?
Agree with this, if we want to stay up, we have to be looking at this game as one to pick up 3 points. Not saying it will be easy or one i "expect" to win, but they're one of the weaker teams in the league.Barnsley were a bottom 3 team last year, saved only by the nonsense at Wigan. They've signed 3 players seemingly over the summer. A young kid from Liverpool who hasn't featured yet. A Polish defender who managed 43 minutes before getting sent off and an Austrian winger who they seem to be playing more as a centre forward.
There are no easy games in this division, but this is one we should probably be looking to win.
Did they play any first team players vs Chelsea?

on 11th of December last year we had 11points, we’d been dreadful up until that point, after that we were in top half of the table form. Overall it was a shocking season but the second half of that season once we got a new head coach we was none too shabby. We beat some decent teams too Fulham, Brentford, Forest, drew twice with WBA. & Swansea. we’re not a bad side.
Why are you always the doom mongerer?
Constantly jumping on any positivity? You never used to be like this IIRC.

I thought you looked a real threat to be fair, Chelsea were just class and went up a few gears.
However, one thing you can’t escape is, your the one and only team that calls us your bogey side... there’s more going on here.. this is cosmic intervention... your gonna have to literally go against the will of the gods to beat us.

A lot on the Barnsley forum seem to think that they are going to paste us.
That's a bit of a myth, we've not won a league game at Oakwell for years. We were one of the not many teams to lose there in the Premier League too. In fact, we've drew 1 and lost 4 of our last 5 league games there.
We always beat Wycombe too.I thought you looked a real threat to be fair, Chelsea were just class and went up a few gears.

From what I have seen our two teams are quite well matched, however we have an edge with our strikers, so I am hoping for a narrow win for us. I think it will be a close game whatever happens, a draw is quite likely. We will probably be looking for goals on the break, which we are quite good at.a lot on here seem to think you’ll easily beat us.
I think it will be a tough game, would be disappointed if we did lose as I see you as fellow relegation contenders.a lot on here seem to think you’ll easily beat us.

I take it this is an additional payment for ifollow for this game?
Only home games are included on the Championship Memberships?

having said that, this is CCFC, so we'll probably lose 3-0 Saturday and then go and beat Bournemouth and Brentford!
Yeah I've been a few of those defeats, they've tended to coincide with the game being midweek funnily enough! Went for one of Mowbray's first games which was shit as was the following season, really depressing performances both times.I went to Barnsley away under Boothroyd and my mates went with me to and we picked that game 'because we always beat Barnsley'. Lost 2-1, and I don't think we've won at Oakwell since.
But, I think a lot of this stuff is mindset. From that game I referred to, we were very much a club in terminal decline, with the exception of MR's first spell, the 1st half of the Pressley season when we had -10pts, and in 2015 under Mowbray. All phases that flattered to deceive in my book. Barnsley, credit to them, have been consistently an upper L1 to Championship outfit. Now, we're on the up and Barnsley have a good manager too. A few pundits predict we'll finish around one another.
Yes you are and you only stayed up because Brentford imploded in their run in and Wigan went into admin.
That's about it in a nutshellAnyone who thinks this will be easy hasn't got a clue what they're talking about. No games will be 'easy' this season, it's the nature of the league. The closest we'll get to an 'easy' game is Wycombe at home and even then I wouldn't call it easy. Barnsley achieved last year what we're hoping to achieve this year, by staying in the division. That's not to downplay our strengths, we'll give most teams a run for their money and won't make life easy, but anyone who thinks we're gonna steam roll past the teams who finished near the bottom last season is in for a nasty surprise. Would take a point but would obviously be delighted with three.
