It’s amazing isn’t it the reactions from some to this. Do they really think that it’s all going to pot now just because we’ve cashed in on the modern-day Brendan O’Connell. He had his own reasons for wanting a London move and the club have let him go for a good chunk of money. What’s wrong with that? It’s business at the end of the day. There will be plenty more games like Tuesday night for us this season. I don’t care if no one comes in immediately. We’ve a couple of promising young lads who could easily step up and show the boss that we’ve still got a promotion winning side. Losing one man doesn’t change that.
Cannot believe how pathetic folk are on here, been talking to loads of Barnsley fans today about this and not one of them is even that fussed! He's 1 player. Why do folk on this board flip out about nonsense *****? I'd argue that we could even cope without bothering to sign another player as a replacement.
Highly sexist comment. As if anyone cares. Anyway, to get rid of Bradshaw now is the wrong time of the month. It's enough to make you lose your (jam) rag.
They’re flipping because we were told that we were keeping him and the team together. We have been in a position before quite often when the team disappears one by one, and we have to start again. I don’t think it’s TB going, just that it’s started people thinking it’s back to the same old rubbish. Personally I don’t think we’ll go the same well... but this board is not known for its optimism.
The highlight for me is when blokes start a new thread to give their 2 penneth instead of commenting on current threads just for attention. Cough Nudger cough.
That would indeed demand serious questioning. But like you, I'd be absolutely astounded (and a tad peeved) if we didn't sign anyone.
But you give yourself more options by having a bit of squad depth. I am confident we will bring a replacement but to say we can go until January with two strikers is a bit short sighted.
I was only thinking about Brendan today, as people said how much ground Tom covered. Brendan was that headless chicken, that occasionally brought magic, but mostly covered a lot of ground. I'd put Tom in the same category. He was a bit better looking for the ladies than Brendan, but was no Ashley Ward. I wish Tom well. He is a professional footballer, earning top dollar for being very average.
I like this thread. Majority of it reflects my feelings on today's business. I don't think this will derail our push, in fact we could even get someone that not only runs around a lot, but supplies assists and scores more goals.
