Barnsley (H) League One March 5th 3pm

[chestersaddler]

1-1 :D :D

[Super Gabor]

1-1 Bradshaw. Had a good chance to score a few mins earlier but effort saved

[Ancient Moaner]

Great, god we needed that equalizer, most importantly WE HAVE SCORED A GOAL!!!!!!!!!

Iv'e cut and pasted that 'goal' symbol on the BBC live text, so that I can remember what it looked like to see it again. :D

[chestersaddler]

Looking at the table, this would be a bad game to lose, particularly if Cov win.

Come on me babbies :D

[Super Gabor]

Ref going off with hamstring injury

[Jolly Johnny]

We have had more shots on target than Barnsley so chin up everyone!!

:wink:

[chestersaddler]

Give it 15 minutes then release the hounds :D

[SaddlerSteve]

Oh dear!!!!!!

The defence just backed off and backed off until he went round them on the edge of the box and unleashed his shot.
We really don't help ourselves.

[moaning saddler]

Decent performance so far - we look the better side until we somehow contrive to give the ball away.
Morris and Sawyers playing well.
As for what Downing was doing for their goal ( their only real chance ).....

[sallian]

why the hell isn't hiwula and bradshaw on at the same time? I thought that was the whole point......are we trying to win...or the aim is to start drawing games first?

I took it as a given they would both be on the pitch.......it seems SOD has fulfilled the sarcasm of some here!

I have now given up hope.

Its simple we have reverted back to previous seasons, slow and keep ball. This team plays much better at 100 mile an hour pushing and attacking. We deal better in defence stopping breaks than we do when we have time to think.

At 1-1 with the best team in the league on current form?

Fresh legs to come on and win it :D

fudge. spoke too soon :(

[Super Gabor]

1-2 . Failed to clear ball out the box

[BathSaddler]

FFS :evil:

[sallian]

1-2 . Failed to clear ball out the box

season over......because somehow the manger contrived to bring in a needed player and not play him....

better to not score early on in a game and take a three goal lead.....

the better way is to go one or two goals and try and get a draw in stoppage time

Is there something in the water or air in Walsall that destroys brain cells? SOD seemed smart when he arrived, now he he turned dumb like half the people on this board and Dean Smith.

[sallian]

If it was still mathematically possible to finish bottom this season we would do it

We may as well lose every game now so at least we can make the news for some sort of record, and take pride in that at least

[chestersaddler]

1-3 :(

[Super Gabor]

Sawyers dicking around with the ball outside their box. Loses it. 5 seconds later were 3-1 down

[Zaddler]

fudge fudge fudge fudge fudge

[SoccerHQ]

Just can't win at home anymore, not good enough.

Even worse as Burton and Wigan are only drawing.

1-3 now!

[chunkster]

pathetic :roll:

[chestersaddler]

Some cack about the season being over

The season is by no means over. We need to get our cack together before we slip out of the playoff places.

[Zaddler]

That barclays O'dreary has ruined the best season this club has had in years. Absolutely gutted, give it another 30 minutes and at least we can bring on a sub :(

[chriss5471]

I honestly feel like if we lose there's a chance we may sack him and put Whitney back in charge. If we draw or win S'oD gets longer in charge to ruin us and make players like Rico worthless in value. (He'll be sold for about £250k at this rate.

[chriss5471]

Sawyers dicking around with the ball outside their box. Loses it. 5 seconds later were 3-1 down

You say dicking about but what options does he have? It's like the players have been told sit behind the halfway line unless you are Tom or Romaine (50% of the time)

[Jolly Johnny]

May as well make a couple of changes now then.
Why not try taking forde and sawyers off and play jordi and henry and see what happens? We're chasing it as it is, so why not. :?

[saddlersjse]

FFS. We're finished. Thanks SOD.

Still no changes. :evil:

Stop being delusional and face reality

[BathSaddler]

I'm sure Funk will blame the fans for another home defeat.

[sallian]

Keep Sawyers on to lose the ball and slow things down, swap Bradshaw for Hiwula rather than play both just in case they double the goal threat.

I wonder what lessons and positives we will take from this loss?

Maybe don't disturb the team with the possibility of scoring more goals by bringing in new players.
