    It appears I didn't miss much! I won't comment about a match, or players, I haven't witnessed myself. In all honesty, I'd love to say missing the game doesn't bother me, but I'd be lying if I did. The defeat still hurts.
    There's no point in me stating who I blame for the utter mess the club is in, I've done it a tedious amount of times. But it's left me wondering whether to throw in the towel for this season as well. I can't remember ever feeling so low with the club, especially after feeling on such a high last Spring.
    Barnsley Football Club shouldn't affect me as much as this. But it does.
    Perhaps I'll feel better in the morning.

    Well missing the game was a blessing Kev. We were as poor as I’ve seen us all season 2nd half. Still I’ve only got a 3.5 hour drive to dwell on it once I’ve finished me tea. And I’ve got to go to QPR next Saturday. Looking for positives and struggling

    The young players still need our support. I for one stayed to clap them off, but it was boys against men today I'm afraid.

    We were spineless, Big Lil. Something unforgivable in any Barnsley team.

    And Voldemort appears clueless.

    Wouldn't surprise me if they played a blinder at QPR but it won't change anything.

    You didn't miss anything Kev unless you enjoy watching dross in which case you missed a feast.

    I'm with you 100% re: your other comments.

    Very poor, totally lacking creativity. I left when the second went in, I couldn't stomach any more today.

    At your age and with all those years of disappointment, you should know better.

    Beer and/or red wine and/or single malt are the way forward tonight Lil!

    I was going to stick with mineral water, but you've led me astray now, old mate! You're a bad, evil influence on me!:D

    She's been in poor health ever since she got her degree four years ago and, sadly, she's gradually deteriorating. However, she's determined to get her Masters later this year, if she possibly can.
    Yes, you're right, old mate, she HAS inherited her brains from me!:D

    What’s more worrying for me Kev is that it doesn’t actually hurt anymore and I’ve never felt like that. A defeat used to ruin my Saturday night but now I’m just “meh”

    No you won't.
    Cos I'll tell you something, Kev, it was totally, absolutely, awfully dreadful.
    If you want an old fogey's suggestion, keep well away. And like me think twice about getting a season ticket unless there's a radical change at the top.

    Your comments re throwing towel in strike a chord, it’s how I feel.......I think - I probably won’t, and will more than likely be signing up again next season, but...... I don’t know, it’s just all so deflating.

    We’ve been rubbish before, but over the last 35 or so years that I’ve been going I’ve always felt that the intention at the club had been to try to win, and to try to compete, that people in charge cared, REALLY cared and that decisions were made based on this - now I’m not so sure, and that’s what’s turning me off, not that we’ve got a bit of a crap team at the moment.
