Not saying your wrong, I was just putting it forward as a possible reason why they didn't make the tackles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He played most of his career in the top flight won the league with leeds and Norwich broke the bank to sign him. He retired because of injury not fitness. Jesus lets all slag the bloke off because he dares to speak out about fox and jones. He played 10 games when Leeds won the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arthur Bach Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 At around the 70 minute mark yesterday our makeshift defender, David Jones, went off injured after having only just slotted into that position. On comes youth player Neilson with the game all-square. He is essentially our last line of defence, if something happened to him, thats it. You telling me you play Roy of the Rovers style with that on your mind? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FreshOwl Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 25 minutes ago, Watson said: Not caused no. But it doesn't help matters. Too many fans on Social media who think that just because that they have an opinion that it's an opinion of merit. Most opinions are just wild conjecture with little foundation, but the constant drip, drip of negativity has a corrosive effect on players. If fans didn't think their opinions affected the players then they wouldn't give them. It's a similar effect to bullying after a while the abuse takes its toll or the bully wouldn't do it. Human nature. You can’t compare it to bullying because this isn’t personal, and it’s done on the internet not face to face if stuff like this affects the players then they’re in the wrong profession. You need to be thick skinned. For 25k a week you can call me whatever you like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to me your justifying it because they are well paid, why people should be abused because they are well paid is beyond me. More than a few cases of people taking their own lives because of bullying online but I guess that's OK as it's not face to face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Chow Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Everyone tbh, if anyone maybe reach, think we lost the ball a lot and couldn’t take it down to feet.not blaming him because he was out of position but still should be able to do a job.

darra Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Listening to radio Sheffield. The ex Barnsley player got it about right I think. He said Barnsley won the 1st half and could've been 2 or 3 up by HT. He said we won the 2nd half and a draw was probably the right result but nobody would've been unhappy if barnsley had won.

It’ll be the last things on his mind Blaming the current plight on negativity is the biggest bloody cop out It's part of the problem. I'm just pi$$ed off with all the constant sniping on here.

Mike Hunt Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 If players are pulling out of tackles because they have a chance of getting injured then my time has come to pack in watching football .

Did he get a medal - yes. Was he part of leeds title winning side - yes. Did Norwich break their transfer record for him - yes. Did they vote him for their player of the season - yes . Decent career even if blighted by injuries as for as im concerned for a lad from hindhouse... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
