    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    On the whole I trust doctors but it's also dangerous to think of them as infallible. You would at least in your own head question how can you put it down as Covid when they've not even been tested for it. Extreme example is Shipman - got away with hundreds of just saying 'old age'. Old age is...

    Wilson Rose Fadz Hyam Dabo Kelly James McCallum O'Hare Biamou Walker Marosi, Pask, Sheaf, Hamer, Shipley, Allen, Jobello, Bapaga, Baka. Would be a bonus if Godden was fit enough for bench but not expecting it. Prob see Hamer come on around the hour for one of kelly or james and Pask replacing...

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    By choosing one of a hundred different metrics they could. All they're doing is focusing on ONE thing - the vaccine rollout which is going very well. What about the procurement, the failure to put in necessary travel restrictions etc early enough, mixed/unclear messages and changing/ignoring...

    More travel to different areas does increase the likelihood of a mutation, and also mutations that are more resistant to the vaccines will inevitably become the dominant variants.

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    Vaccinations should be around travel insurance/health coverage. Certain areas have always had pre-required jabs to travel (i.e. malaria). So instead maybe it'd be based around 'get the jab or you'll not be covered for insurance'. No insurance and many operators won't book the journey. It's...

    Kasta Appreciation Society Thread Announcement (KASTA)

    One thing I think you could say of him is that he doesn't appear to be being disruptive to the squad. He's clearly not applying himself and making the most of his abilities but at the same time he's not seemingly causing trouble either.

    Sheaf

    Are their results better or worse since he left?

    Ratings v Rovers

    Apart from one poster who's slaughtering Walker? The point is if he's not involved around getting chances he does very little else - that's accurate. He's not going to challenge for the ball or help keep hold of it to allow support to build an attack. He's a predator whose instinct is to score...

    Sheaf

    During his time there he played 15 matches out of 23, so missed a third of their fixtures. At the time Barnsley were 9th with 34pts from 23 games (1.47ppg). They'd won 10, lost 9 and drawn 4, scoring 27 and conceding 29. Since he left they're now 7th, having played 9 and got 17pts (1.88 ppg)...

    Sheaf

    It was more to do with Kelly's experience and organising, as well as getting in the ref's ear, that people felt we'd miss and it was those we wanted replaced more than just 'a CDM'. Those are mainly why James was brought in. Sheaf needs to improve but this year will have given him valuable...

    Referee Analysis Blackburn

    Just checked the next few fixtures and blackburn's aren't against our relegation rivals so that'd be fine. If they were playing teams around us I'd have said leave it cos otherwise we're just making it easier for their next opponents.

    Ratings v Rovers

    Who knows? Going by that same thought process would Walker have scored two the other day if Max hadn't been on the pitch? He won the penalty and chased down the goal kick to get us in for the second. And without those two goals we don't win that match, so by that argument Biaomou won us that...

    Trump is my favourite comedian of the year already

    Not particularly enamoured by it frankly.

    Gyokores

    For me Biamou should've continued running straight on and Gyo released the ball to him at that point and then changed direction to continue going more central, potentially blocking off the defender from getting to Max. If the defender can continue getting across Max then has the option to...

    Sheaf

    We brought in a striker with international experience in Jan on loan from a Prem team. He just doesn't seem to be very good or at the very least is severly lacking in confidence. Not a budget issue - a recruitment issue. Also deflected from answering if/when Sheaf is picked over James it'd be...

    Sheaf

    So if in a future game Sheaf plays ahead of James you'll be taking that as proof Sheaf is better? James was brought in to cover Kelly's role in terms of experience and leadership. MR clearly wanted to see how james and Kelly would play together - could bring a very stable midfield allowing us...

    I think we can safely say we won't be looking to bring him back next season.

    If we could win at least a couple and not lose any that'd be brilliant.
