Got chatting to a Barnsley player on Monday...

Been fairly busy past few days so haven't had chance to post this, but I was talking to a Barnsley player last Monday (the 23rd) and found a few things he said pretty interesting.

I hadn't seen him for a while, and asked him what he thought about the situation at Barnsley and said 'Pleased with Danny Wilson as manager. He's already changing things.. Wednesday should have gone for him'

And so I asked him what he thought about us, and his reply was 'You're going down. You've got a pretty poor squad, the spine of your team is awful. And your best player is injured' (Antonio)

Obviously it shocked me a little how abrupt he was about it, but he said Jones has left us in a real mess... And it's a shame cos he loves the atmosphere of Barnsley-Wednesday derbies but thinks we're going down.

I said, so you think Barnsley will stay up then? And he goes, yeah of course. I have to. We've been playing some good football at times this year but just lack that killer instinct and that's why we're struggling'

Last thing I said on the topic was, who do you think will go down? His response - Donny, Wednesday and Yeovil.

Quite a bizarre conversation but thought it was quite interesting. He really ripped into us, I know he isn't a huge fan of the youth set-up, think its a joke, but he has always said we've got a good team - but this time he really thought we were poor.

 

Well this is all going as it should be.

 

BUMP.

To be fair we were absolutely dreadful under Jones, the 1-1 draw at Oakwell, I wouldn't have wished it upon anyone to watch that game. We were abysmal. Gray turned us around and proved everyone wrong. Around October/Nov time I though we were dead certs for the drop we were that bad.

The player is Paul Digby

Us Yeovil and Barnsley are going down.  Will be a record low points and Donny will survive by the skin of their teeth!

 

As Meatloaf said.... Two out of three ain't bad.  lol

 

I work with an ex Barnsley player (no names but initials of  gary megson is a clue) and he's said for months that Barnsley would go down.

until nuhiu came on we were utter poo pOo and even after he came on we weren't much better. Horrendous game but the atmosphere was decent, plus bearing in mind the handball we probably should have won it. Didn't deserve to tho. I still reckon its noble-lazarus gary megson
