Barnsley will 100% be a harder task than QPR, looked very good last season when the new gaffer came in.

Does seem like one good win and people are getting a bit giddy.
I think we'll be fine this season but people calling Barnsley shit are well wide of the mark and a little disrespectful to the opposition we'll be facing this year.

Having gone thro this thread it is written in the runes that they will win 2-0 with Chaplin & Thomas scoring, both from very difficult chances......
I'm glad we sold Chaplin - he could never have done the Godden role up front role on his own and we turned a nice profit to boot. I liked Thomas, but he was too profligate and there really is no comparison with O'Hara. We've upgraded.
Our defence has proved too leaky for this level so far but Barnsley can't score. We have conceded fron corners (so it's a good job Chaplin is a short arse) - not sure how that will play out.
Barnsley should have gone down, if there was any justice, so we should expect something from the game, but frankly it could go either way. With the exception of Wycombe I will always be happy with a point away from home.

Didn't you have two defenders sent off against Reading?

To be fair they very well could beat us. I just disagree with the notion that they’re a Firmino away from winning the league. They should be in league 1.

Mate you're cutting about here acting like you are peak Pep Barcelona without a finisher. You haven't even scored a goal this season adn only stayed up because you beat an imploding Brentford with a lucky last minute winner.

To be fair amongst all the arguing basically nobody said we shouldn't have gone up.

Yeah who are these fans that are saying we didn't deserve to get promoted? Not come across any yet.

Must admit I thought he was saying some of our lot were being feisty with Mr Barnsley! Mainly David O'Day to be fair, who always sounds a keystroke away from offering someone outside

Yeah I thought they were harsh but we still played well.

Were they harsh? First sending off Helik puts an arm on Santos Joao as he's through on goal and the second sending off is quite clearly a deliberate hand ball by Andersen. Seems to me your defensive mistakes are still alive and kicking!

Confidence very fragile still?
We won L1 less than 4 months ago, we haven't lost a league match since last year, our squad is in no doubt better than last seasons and we've started the Championship well with an unlucky defeat against BCFC (who beat a decent Stoke side this weekend 2-0 away) and a decent win against QPR, playing some great football along the way as well as the fact that Dabo and Rose are back from injuries sooner than many expected.
Bar a penalty defeat in the least important of the 3 competitions we're in this season and the injury to Jodi Jones, I would say our confidence is arguably the highest it's been in years.

he’s run into his arm, he’s come across him, and thrown himself to ground, when he saw the keeper was getting there first, a yellow card at the most, and second one he’s fell on the ball, and let’s be honest Joao wasn’t even getting to the ball.

This isn't me being feisty, simply not having it that Barnsley are not shite because they run about.

No, he's felt contact and rightly gone down. Not condoning it but that's naivety from Helik. Hard to say from the highlights, perhaps the goalkeeper would've still got their first, but if anything that would make Helik's naivety even worse if that was the case.
Andersen falls onto the ball with his right arm and then stops the ball intentionally with his left. You might see something different but from my perspective that's clear as day and definitely worthy of a second yellow.

I have (mainly back end of last season) and thought you played a lot of nice stuff. Good luck for the season and as long as you finish one place below us, that's fine by me (I'll offer you second place now?)

It's going to be a long old season on here if we debate all the opposition's referee decisions (especially in games that don't involve us!) Get Adge involved in this for a (sort of) expert opinion!!

we knock the ball about too. Average about 400 passes a game. Which is normally above our opponents.

but when you’re average age is 22 years old they’re improving all the time. Watching us play I’m convinced we’ll be a decent top half side if we can keep our players and head coach. Only time will tell but if we play like we normally do your in for a shock on Saturday.
David O Day is a top-tier clown so i wouldn't worry too much about his opinions...
Barnsley has always been one of my favourite away days. Pretty easy access by car or train, ground close to the town centre, plenty of pubs. Huge away end generally with unrestricted seating. To be honest most yorkshire away days rank up there as some of the best in the country.
