    I was referring more to the wishy washy performances we got away at Wednesday, at home to Cardiff City and away at Stoke. We've had those games for years.

    Doing a Barnsley can be having allegedly the richest owners in the league but hardly spending a penny.....

    Not saying we did battling performances in every game but there were a lot imo .
    I thought individual mistakes did for us in a few games and heads dropped a bit .
    But for example against Leeds at home we were the better side for much of the game and there were many others in which we lost after being the better side and battling .

    We battled very well last season post lockdown, but the last time we got relegated we went down without even a whimper, and we still could have stayed up on the last game of the season!

    The battling tag comes after many seasons tbh . It’s not based on a few games or even seasons .

    I know mate, was just generalising about the last time we got relegated. Still disappoints me that we didn't win any of our last umpteen away games, didn't even get a draw.

    Individual errors when we're comfortable in games that lead to results going against us is a common theme. I can remember being 2-0 up and comfotable against Ipswich in 2013/14. O'Brien only half cleared a shot and it lead to a goal. That clearance goes into row z we win the game. Instead Ipswich are all over us and we draw 2-2.

    That’s just football I’m afraid . As a opposite I can remember Fulham bring 3 up and relatively comfortable , we won 4-3

    Based on recent years I'd say "doing a Barnsley" would be alienating a promising young manager with a lack of support in the transfer market.

    I believe Spurs "did a Barnsley" on Sunday when they conceded 3 in the last 10 minutes to salvage a home draw from being 3-0 up.

    No ours was much more impressive as we conceded 3 goals from the 85th minute against Ipswich to draw 3-3. :)

    Twice against Stockport County, once against Norwich City, once against Stoke City.

    I think the Norwich one was actually 2-2. Did we draw 3-3 with Wolves? Takes some doing mate :D
