At end of which game did you believe we were down

I never thought we definitely would be relegated....the performances in the main were Championship standard let down by unforced and unnecessary errors....bringing in Sollbauer made a difference very quickly, and the form of the second half of the season was almost mid table.
I'm admittedly a glass half full type...and until the mathematics say otherwise I don't admit defeat....I even thought the draw with Wigan might turn out to be a valuable point, although I have to say the defeat at Leeds ( who I fancied us to beat) made it look pretty dark.

 

There was never one particular game for me. It was more a general feeling from the onset of Winter. I've had the same feeling once before and I've got a 100% return for said feeling. It's proved to be 100% WRONG, but it's 100% nevertheless!

 

Had a tenner on at 100/1 for us to stop up after the Leeds away game. Just had a strange feeling we'd do it especially with the Wigan situation.

Never expected it to take 2 injury time winners like. If it was a football film you'd think 'aye, like that'd ever happen' !!!!

 

As long as you're consistent mate, that's all we want

 

My predictions have always been pathetic and I don't see that changing in the future.
See what I did there?

 

Yup, predict us to go down this season as well, please

 

Anybody who posted on seeing the team sheet against QPR were guilty of thinking we were down. Can’t be arsed to look back but there was at least 3 pages of doom sayers.

 

The current Mrs. DR predicts scores by league position. If we are playing a team that is above us in the league she thinks we will probably lose. I usually reply that if we knew who was going to win before the kick off no one would bother to watch. As Greavesie amongst others said "It's a funny old game".

 

hunkering down in my bunker and with my tin hat hat on (and hoping JLW doesn't take a pop at me) .........

Most BFC supporters were convinced that relegation was looming - convinced that Wigan wouldn't be docked the 12 points.

I wonder if the good folk of Barnsley tend by nature to be a tad pessimistic in that they often expect things to go against them. By doing that they are prepared for and can handle disappointment. They tend not to look on the bright side!

 

Sorry the fat lady couldn`t be heard since her Barnsley gig was moved to Wigan. Cannot understand folk thinking we would be darn in October, owt cud of happened.

 

Thought we were a relegation side after losing at home to Luton in August, our performance reminded me of the early part of the season with Flitcroft (and then Wilson) after the previous great escape. Never had any real optimism, always hopeful, but never convinced.

The season pre-lockdown just felt like a missed opportunity, with some poor recruitment decisions (in and out), but I'm saying that as purely a football supporter. Sadness when Stendel left, indifference with Struber's appointment and so on. All that said, the break also did me a world of good and I have to acknowledge the work that Struber has done, sometimes it's the quiet man effect, I'm glad he's with us now and look forward to the coming season with renewed optimism. I've said before that with our board, I only question their decision making and not their integrity, I have no doubt that they want a successful club in relative terms. Collectively, let's hope the experiences of last season are learned from reasonably, mistakes acknowledged, and a quietly good head coach is allowed to continue his good work.

COYR.

 

None really, we have had some great performances against top teams always had the chance to stay up especially with the deduction due to Wigan. I was nervous after Brentford equalised but the boys did the business. Luton were so lucky at Blackburn you couldn't write it.
