    Robins not a disaterous choice

    He was not my first choice but given the choices we had would have made my top 5. Given we had Ince and Shaw making the top 3 then Robins would have to be first choice. He's capable, knows this league, is young and ambitious with some decent form and experience that has no 'sacking' element to...

    Has the remit changed?

    For a guy who kept a team up after a 17 point deduction and a playoff place the season before was it? would suggest he is capable of ganering the players into winning runs of games and the playoffs are an easy target and even auto is by no means out of the question. The Saints did a similar...

    Mark Robins (a Barnsley perspective)

    So we must not expect him to set the world alight then? OK but we will be hard to beat. OK The football we have been playing lately has been unattractive so not so worried there. It's league 1 we need to win ugly. Appreciate your thoughts. Interesting to see how those thoughts translate...

    Oh what a circus!

    My goodness you couldn't make it up. It's Roy of the Rovers stuff. Still losing inexplicably, still fielding the same side after 3 defeats and they are still "not doing what they have been asked to do" (oops problem there Mr Shaw) Still have the biggest budget in this league and regardless...

    Ince, Robins or Shaw

    Not thinking of Curbishly Colonel. Not at all. I'm thinking that what the club needs is a bit of a figure head as much as a good manager. The clubs at such a low ebb we need inspiration. Hell even Roy Keane would have had the place buzzing! You can't guarantee anything but short term this...

    Paul Ince or Richard Shaw????

    I suspect it's a case of if it were those two and given nobody wants Ince particularly then would you vote for him over Shaw though? The naswer is obviously Yes.

    Ince, Robins or Shaw

    Frankly I'm puzzled by the 3 mentioned. None fit what I would consider for the managers job at this football club and at THIS time. Out of 55+ candidates (we were told) these are the 3 favourites for the job? Mind blowing. Now I'm realising (if true) just why we are where we are. If true...

    Hillsborough; The Truth At Last

    I was there in '87 and had the fright of my life! I was hurled forward and backwards off my feet up and down the terraces, I never got back to my original starting place! At over 6 feet and 13 stone no easy feet! Yes Police acted like amateurs and fairly clueless on the day and support was also...

    shaw speaks

    I recall a certain Mr Clough went to Leeds and said all the trophies mean shit, forget it this is a fresh start. You're nothing but all the same. I know he left pretty sharpish but frankly because they didn't like the truth. If only we could get a guy in to talk like that. Throw away the Sky...

    Is it really Shaw's fault we are loosing?

    Yes. Shaw has shown the same naivety that possesed Thorn. Wrong subsitutes, wrong formations, poor team selection, playing too deep, no width, unable to motivate from WINNING positions! I could go on. The new manager will galvanise the players and this club...hopefully :)

    Cheer up! - September 18th 2010

    Why ever not? New manager and a squad that we are told should be in the promotion hunt? What more imputus can you give a club?

    The turn around ...

    It is good to hear that but not a surprise...we have banged on about that for a year or so now and i was expecting it. There is much more to it of course but I don't have OSB's considerable patience in explaining the detail. If crowds improve when we are winning (as expected) we will have a...
