Buncey 1 Posted January 12, 2008 Barnsley are un-predictable. They''ve beaten both WBA and Watford this season. Who knows what''s going to happen this time around. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The boys should be up for it though, bit of a point to prove after the Bury performance. Almost feel the game has come a bit early though, get the feeling Roeder has got some signings up his sleeve in the coming days. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mister Chops 7 Posted January 12, 2008 Barnsley are very good at home and giving debuts to two new players. We''re crap away from home, but improving.I''m going for yet another pools panel 1-1 draw, Dublin the scorer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Branston Pickle 4,150 Posted January 12, 2008 Today''s game would be fantastic to win, but a defeat is far from the end of the world - there are 20 games left, after all, and Barnsley are a decent side who were in the top six only a handful of games ago (...but I can just see the posts if we lose today!). Luton last season was ''critical'' as they were in deeper trouble than we were. It is our next two home games which were always going to be more important: winning and taking points off the sides around you is the key - for example, if we won today and lost to Leicester we''d be in a worse position than if it was the other way round.

They look an ok side at home, I think they have only lost one at home all season. 3 points would be delightful though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Long may it continue. The football''s better under Roeder and we look a much better outfit. I really recommend that you get yourself down to Carrow Road next week for the Leicester game, and cheer the boys on - you might enjoy it. Then go and have a go at the board afterwards, especially if we haven''t made any signings by then.Happy New Year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Have you made a New Years resolution to be a bit more positive in 2008 ? Even the team obliged with a 3-1 win.....Even Cluck - who has now mysteriously disappeared from this site - started to mellow towards the end.All you need to do now is take Robert Lim''s advice and get down to Carrow Road. Then, with any luck, you''ll see the improvement Glenn Roeder''s brought to the team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
