modboy Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 Barnsley fans have always tried to create a rivalry, we really dont care about them. If anything we have a soft spot for them which grates them even more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danblakemore Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 Good luck to the Dingles. Never seen them as direct rivals and always find it amusing that they do. Seems they have a good financial plan. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the time I wasn't implying this statement to SWFC (us), but the teams around the mid table mark like Birmingham, Huddersfield, Coventry etc... We've (clearly) always been in the relegation battle with 12 (now 6) points deduction from day one... I was implying then that we still have hope of catching a lot of teams above us - regardless... However since I made this statement the wheels have (well and truly) fallen off and our form (run of results) has stalled big time in crucial games and so I agree with your Point 3 in terms of battling... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Business plan for babys Set ya budget spend within your means offer low wages with an incentive to attain higher should targets be met Use a highly reputable recruitment agency, offer performance related incentives Do a thorough background check Build team spirit and make sure all training is upto date Make sure all health problems are historical and not current,Employ medical advisor to ensure employee is fit to work Year 2 clear out the lobbers and repeat And then ya can begin to assemble a workforce thats fit for purpose 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnyowl Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 I read somewhere that before Barnsley appointed Valerian Imael, they looked at the stats and it told then that his prevoius team he managed, LASK in Austria, had the second best pressing stats in the whole of Europe. He's certainly got Barnsley working hard, pressing from the front, running all day long and look at the results. It's that kind of forward thinking I wish we had at Wednesday. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 They have a plan which includes good recruitment. As many in the game will tell you recruitment is key. I’m struggling to see what Downes and Hughes bring to the table TBH? One of the first things I’d do if I was Moore would be to bin them off as he’s recruited better particularly at Doncaster than either of these two have since their arrival here.

Id disagree with that. The recruiters are pretty capable and identify players, it’s not up to them to get the actual deals done or decide who we go for. Prior to joining us Luongo wasn’t injury prone, was a captain and had the highest tackling % in the league with a year to run on his contract. Them sussing that is what it’s all about and then passing it on. Typically he’s now been injured constantly. Pickering who we lost out on would’ve been spotted by them. As will a range of others. I just don’t think we have been attractive enough a prospect this season if any other teams are interested they go there. Even Green seemed to bide his time.
