I dont think anyone truly believes it will be an easy game, there are however "easier" games, and this is one of them.Anyone who thinks this will be easy hasn't got a clue what they're talking about. No games will be 'easy' this season, it's the nature of the league. The closest we'll get to an 'easy' game is Wycombe at home and even then I wouldn't call it easy. Barnsley achieved last year what we're hoping to achieve this year, by staying in the division. That's not to downplay our strengths, we'll give most teams a run for their money and won't make life easy, but anyone who thinks we're gonna steam roll past the teams who finished near the bottom last season is in for a nasty surprise. Would take a point but would obviously be delighted with three.

They only stayed up because of a points deduction, on the pitch they deserve to be in the league below us right now. Our aim this year isnt to match Barnsley, its to better them, to do that, beating them would help.
With you though, would take a point and will be delighted with a win!
Ref watch with Jordan210
Josh smith has not taken charge of a championship fixture in his career.
This season he has taken charge of 3 matches dishing out 4 yellow cards and 0 reds. All of these came in one match. 2 EFL cup matches and 1 league 1 match.
He has never been in charged with us playing before.
Let's hope he can keep up with the play then, the tempo is higher in this league than what he's had before. We don't want some bugger 10 yards behind the play, giving dodgy penalties, do we??
Hopefully, you know how cov play against weaker sidesHaving just watched the highlights from every game Barnsley have played this season, It's fair too say, there will be plenty of loose balls being played in their half, their defence goes to pieces with a bit of pressure, they play neat football but can't hit a cows arse with a banjo. I fully expect one of their defence to be sent off after a loose ball is intercepted and O'Hare is bearing in on goal.
Comfortable 3-0 win. O'Hare x 2 & Hamer freekick.
there will undoubtedly be some game somewhere that it does click for them, so just hope its not Saturday.
Been saying that since February “someone’s in for a hammering at some point” never happened, and I can’t see it happening now, we’ll have to see if the new head coach can get us scoring.
It must have been shit for you to play Chelsea really. Normally you don't care about the result but you get the big day out to a proper stadium and see some stars play. Sitting at home knowing you're getting spanked would be shit.Been saying that since February “someone’s in for a hammering at some point” never happened, and I can’t see it happening now, we’ll have to see if the new head coach can get us scoring.

Is he leaving?
I see NY Red Bull have lined up a move, but surely he came to England to get a job at top-end Championship or Premiership club, eventually. Not an MLS gig.

With Thomas and Chaplin in the team, we are not suprised. Both lacked end product in different waysWe had 9 shots on target from 14 shots in total and scored none. Typical Barnsley.
Our owners are like smack heads if it’s not nailed down they’ll sell it. If we’re offered a few quid he’s gone.

Think I'm going to cement my position as this forum's worst pundit ever by predicting a Barnsley win. 3-1 due to the defensive frailties of both teams. O'Hare or Godden for us as a consolation.
What's all the nonsense going on around your stadium? Saw the other day the owners were threatening to move out unless they got a share in the stadium.
Chaplin and Thomas couldnt do it for us in League 1, so im glad we dont have them in the Championship. Gimmee Godden and OHare over them anytime. Thomas was quality but like a few have already mentioned, he has no end product. Once he has that sorted , he'll be a damn good player.
Weirdly that’s what we said right before we ended up at Northampton.it’s all bollox, never going to happen, it’s to divert the attention from the fact we keep selling decent strikers and not replacing them.

Didn’t realise you didn’t own your ground. Sympathies with you - I hope that ends up positively in the end
we did what we had to do.
Are you currently paying rent there then? Aren’t the previous owners the owner of the other 50%as I’ve said our owners are like smack heads they’ll sell anything, the council own 50% of the ground to stop people like these selling it. It’s doing what it’s designed to do. And because they want their grubby little mits on it, they’re playing games.
Hope that Wigan had a points deduction?
Whereas we've got a council with a huge grudge against the club that will sell it off to anyone who wants it, provided upsets CCFC!as I’ve said our owners are like smack heads they’ll sell anything, the council own 50% of the ground to stop people like these selling it. It’s doing what it’s designed to do.
