    Shipley is the most obvious - links up well with the striker and can be a threat himself. If Hilssner gets fit he also needs giving a go to see how he links up. But with injuries we do look like we could do with someone with pace as an option as well. Hilssner isn't that man. Jobello maybe but...

    He moves in mysterious ways. Or barely at all yesterday.

    Makelele and Kante are the main ones I can think of.

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    But when you've got a deadly pandemic around they need to be allowed much louder voices. Certainly on a par with the usual economy driven rhetoric. Businesses leaders are allowed opinions on how stuff like healthcare and education should be run.

    Meanwhile Johnson's dad who is in the vulnerable age category can fuck off whenever he likes to pretty much wherever he likes.

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    You'd think it could be as you need to ensure the NHS/PHE tests get a validation code but given how often left and right hand aren't even aware of each others existence let alone knowing what it's doing it's probably going to be way more convulted than you'd expect. It's like the govt database -...

    Home advantage

    I think it can work both ways to be honest. Home crowd can give an advantage if it can intimidate opposition, esp near the end when the intensity of the crowd increases due to the nerves. But at the same time it can be detrimental to a home team as the expectation is higher and a crowd that is...

    Next 4 Fixtures (how many points)

    I think we've got a chance against Bournemouth but it'll be hard. An average of a point a game would be OK at this stage but you never know until the game. Maybe one or two will have an off day against us. As long as we're competitive in those games and don't lose all of them or the ones we do...

    Police officer shot dead by man in custody

    It's more lip service though. Religion s still a major part of American life and those beliefs are taken by those in charge and adopted into the state. So even if the church isn't officially linked its influence is all over politics on either side, but esp so on the Republicans. "In God We...

    Few things to note

    Sheaf needs more time to acclimatise. Walsh looked average for his first few games. He could take over the Kelly role, if not the leadership. As for the Giles/McCallum suggestion, Shipley is more suited to replacing Allen in the left ACM slot. He's not the best tackler but his ability to link...

    The penalties in the United game

    It's never been a great rule. It's far too subjective, and so you can't really have consistency. I've seen pens given for stuff that was nowhere near deliberate, yet others that probably were not because a player is good at making it look accidental (Terry got away with loads). Similarly it...

    Barnsley Player Ratings

    I'd say Ostigard is the most likely candidate at the mo, but if the team aren't really conceding many can't suggest making that change right now. Fadz has been good but dunno if he might start tiring a few months in. Have to wait and see.

    Hamer vs Walsh

    Apart from being irrelevant as it's not a choice we have to make they could actual compliment each other as even though they play in the same sort of position and have some similarities they also have a lot of complimentary aspects and in an ideal world, other than the lack of height, it'd be...

    Fair result but frustrating so many players weren't at the races today as that was a very winnable game. Hopefully won't cost us over the course of the season.

    No. If you take the keeper away the shot against the bar still isn't going in the net. Hence it's not on target.

    I'm thinking maybe Baka for the last 10-15 too.
