    Can I go for a combination of too little too late and Conway’s fault?

    Too little too late for me. Poor summer window, and managerial appointment, lack of leadership and direction at all levels. Shame because our loan signings have had a significant impact on our upturn in form.

    Just a shame we couldn’t get the extra midfielder we needed. Might be a few points better off now.

    It would be typical Barnsley to lose to Reading go 8 points adrift with 7 to play and still stay up.

    I've a feeling we'll nick a couple of results away.

    If I was attending we'd be bound to lose so that's one positive. Just don't like these " must win" matches though, it's probably not the case but it never feels like we do win them.

    The way I see it win lose or draw we need 5 wins from 8 matches. Doesn't matter how we get them.

    I think we'll probably need 5 wins as well, though even that may not be enough, if we lose to Reading. If we beat them, we'll have almost as good a chance as they will have. If we lose to them, I fear it will be all over. A draw against Reading would make staying up difficult, but not impossible. We'd surely need to win at either Millwall or Swansea though.

    The late, late fu¢k-ups against Coventry, Stoke & Fulham will cost us dear, unfortunately. Five points spaffed up the wall through poor subs and lack of game management.

    Essentially this. We’ll finish where we finish and then, as Khaled as stated many times, the post-mortem starts. We all know where we went wrong though - even those currently running the club.

    It's been an awful season no matter what happens.

    Bassi and Quina have shown how easy it would have been to stay in this league, with sensible summer signings added to the financial cheating of other clubs.

    But no - we got 2 duff Belgians (just to prove we didn't just trade in Austrians) and no midfield to speak of.

    We don't deserve to stay in the Championship.

    That's the problem. They're more interesting in winging it, hoping for the best and then doing an investigation when it's too late than they were about actually trying to save the season.

    They had the opportunity to set on an experienced manager but turned that down in favour of a 'project' manager. They should have done an investigation and post mortem into why we were where we were in December and put it right in January. Instead it appears to have caught them by surprise in the last couple of months that our central midfield has all the quality of a Sunday league team.

    A post-mortem in the summer is no use to anybody unless we miraculously stay up. It's just absolutely pathetic that that will wait until the summer. Then again it's probably why they didn't notice the west stand was apparently unsafe until the season started, closed the fan zone and access to the ground on the eve of the season, turned cars away from the carpark on the first game due to late decision making etc etc. Always on the back foot at board level and that's our biggest problem. Nobody is pro-active at all

    Some valid points in there. But your posts would be better and more credible if you didn’t try and throw everything in at once.

    You’re also saying things that are answered by the same issue, and getting annoyed at people who’s control it was out of.
