With finishing as bad as they showed on the highlights I don't feel bad on general play. 99/100 that goal doesn't get given though.They battered us from start to finish.

I'd go so far as to say it's is the worst officiating I've seen this season. Jumps with his arm outstretched and makes contact with the keepers head forcing him off injured.
Not that different to the Rotherham player sent off for a clash of heads v M'boro. They've had another red rescinded too.
I'd love it if they overtake Derby...
Basically barnsley struggle with sides that play direct by the looks of itThey battered us from start to finish.

That's the way it goes sometimes in football, Barnsley. Over the course of the season though you've clearly merited your (near) final position and I wish you well in the play offs.They battered us from start to finish.

Horrible day. Highlight was the Cov charge out of the Holte EndThat's the way it goes sometimes in football, Barnsley. Over the course of the season though you've clearly merited your (near) final position and I wish you well in the play offs.
We once survived on the final day by not only failing to get the point we needed but relying on an already relegated team to beat our relegation rival.
Yeah recall that - there was a lad near us with a radio, cool as you like he was laughing and saying its bollocks.Horrible day. Highlight was the Cov charge out of the Holte EndThe number of cheers from Villa fans when they thought Luton had scored were ridiculous.
Outrageous decision. Should be some way of that being changedI'd go so far as to say it's is the worst officiating I've seen this season. Jumps with his arm outstretched and makes contact with the keepers head forcing him off injured.

The playoffs may well suit you to a tee then , sides that want to play out etc100% we’re set up to give the ball to the opposition, when we lump it long it’s not to win flick ons or get in behind, it’s to let our opponents have the ball deep in their own half, hoping they try to play out from the back. Because we then just pressure them into mistakes, with our pressing, and get shooting opportunities, we’re that good at smothering teams, the poorer teams just lumped straight back, and it basically kills us off not being able to play our normal game.

Yeah it was horrific. The whole day from the moment Stewart Robson lost possession. Didn't even celebrate when it was confirmed we'd not been relegated. Pretty sure the beer tasted the worst that day too. Couldn't help admiring the character and resilience of a limp lettuce compared to our performance that day.Horrible day.

If you had told me at the start of this season, that we would be mathematically safe with two games to go, AND we had successfully negotiated a return to the Ricoh, I'd of snapped both your arms off!
But surely there comes a time when every team realises that and plays the way you don't want even if it's not their preferred way. If a less able team can beat you using those tactics I'm sure a better team with more clinical strikers could find a way to adapt to a more direct style, or they'll change personnel to suit that.
We started the season playing the ball around as it worked last year, but struggled due to the quicker and better players in the division. Since keeping it a bit more simple and going a bit more direct if needed we improved. We beat Brentford because they insisted on playing with the ball and we pressed them into errors.
Good teams have more than one way of playing. To only play that kind of game you've got to be so good on the ball other teams are too scared to press you.
We've got 4 points out of them the season, not sure why we keep going on about them nowThis is so fucking boring now
Needs a Barnsley thread setting up, want to ask questions ask em on there. Every third thread now you go through and you have to hear about Barnsley's style of play, Barnsley's form, Barnsley's transfer model, Barnsley's ownership. I don't care about fucking Barnsley.We've got 4 points out of them the season, not sure why we keep going on about them now
