Why is a Barnsley fan on a Cov vs Derby match thread

 

---

[Barnsley]

From what I have seen Barnsley are often going to be the victim of this given the style of play relies on extremely clinical finishing

We have over 15 shots a game most games, with only 4 or 5 on target, we don’t need to be extremely clinical half decent would do.

Tbf to MR he hasn't had the opportunity to pick a fully fit side yet this season, now that the players seem to have adjusted to the level, and tactics have been tweaked to stop us leaking goals for fun, it's no surprise to see us picking up points.
Now all we need is to field our first 11 and we will be a match for most teams in this league.

Because he’s got the week off work, the government have him under house arrest like a wrong un, and he’s nowt better to do.

It is more about your forward quality then rather than being unlucky? You can be unlucky for a game or two but not consistently

What about all the other weeks you’ve been here

He had those weeks off work too.

Same pal.

Definitely, our strikers are the best in the league at pressing and putting teams under pressure at the back, (defending from the front), but sticking the ball in the back of the net, which should be their number one priority is a bridge too far, they reduced the oppositions goal scoring chances down unbelievably, and we’d struggle defensively without them keeping the ball in the other half, but goals win games unfortunately strikers that can do both are £10M players at this level.

You can buy Bakayoko in January - guaranteed 20 goals (cost you only half of that £10m- if you get in early, before the big boys come a calling)

Just been on the Derby forum. Lots of pessimism over there but the predictions for tonight are a mixed bunch. Some hopeful, others complimentary about us.

Personally going with a Derby 2-1 win. We're not having the rub of refereeing decisions and while 4-1-4-1 looks like it's strengthened the defence, we're still struggling to get the ball in the net with 1 striker. Walker is getting his fitness and sharpness back but giving him one chance per game isn't enough. He needs support. Even playing Max as a holdup player has worked in the few occasions he's been on the pitch this season.

We won’t be going 2 up front tonight but who knows he might shock us

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Minimum a draw tonight but we should have the belief to get all 3 points tonight. Robins will recall a number of players into the starting line up today.

Draw will be a poor result, need to get the 3 points tonight and we are definitely capable of doing so

Mate, no one cares

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Derby are the only team not to win at home and we’re the only team not to win away. Got all the hallmarks of a thriller

If you were a Barnsley fan wouldn’t you look around for something interesting?

 

[Gibbo]

my worry is we set up too defensive tonight

Whereas I hope we do set defensively for every away game. Three in front of three and nick a point. Hopefully, somewhere in the club's dna is a memory of countless bottom of the table clashes in the top tier.

As Fagin didn't sing "Got to pick a point up here..."

 

[Grendel]

It’s his mentality pal, it’s what he does in relegation scraps, he shits himself and hides behind a solid back 10.

Robins is a cautious manager regardless of positions. He has tried always to stop conceding first. This has been the problem up to the last few games. Now we are conceding less

...and Robin's caution has got us to where we re now. Long may his caution continue

Youre a good egg, welcome here ofcourse

As long as he stops mentioning how Barnsley always outplay everyone, don’t ever shoot and don’t win games.

He's got his Barnsley glasses on obviously but hes sound enough

Ahhh, that's why pornhub was down for 'maintenance'.

 

[Evo1883]

Right I've jad a couple days to think, I initially said 2 nil city... And I now think we will win 2 nil still

Sounds good let’s just unfracture Marosi’s face and get Jesus to heal Godden’s foot

You would think the God would be able to ‘heel’ himself?

 

[lifeskyblue]

Tonight worries me more than last Saturday. Not sure if it is just being a Cov fan but would rather play top of table every week than teams at or near bottom.

He can, and he will.... Have faith in god

We have to take the game to them they are a very poor side

 

[KenilworthSkyBlue]

For once I agree with you.

I do think this is a game where we should be utilising our usual formation. Their complete inability to score goals surely means we should be taking the fight to them and starting on the front foot.

Agreed. I’d probably sacrifice sheaf for this game to go 2 up tops. 532

[Dellboy87]

Although they looked slightly better on Saturday they look a poor side with no creativity and goals in them. Should be going straight at them from the start but 100% expect a negative stifling performance from us until the last 20. Got 0-0 written all over it

Anyone else excited about tonight ?
cannot wait, got s curry ordered and a few beers in the fridge. Feeling excited and hoping for 3 points
