Results mean nothing unless you are getting battered , sounds like we had chances . Keeper issue highlighted again, sure we will get a few new players in next week or 2 . Iorfa back too

 

Even getting battered isn't a huge thing in pre season. Sure we got battered about 12-0 in preseason for the promotion season against Stocksbridge or someone like that.

Pre-season though. 

 

I remember us beating Alaves one pre season and a mate of mine saying we were going to have a reight season...after all  we'd beaten Alaves who'd  pushed Liverpool all the way in the UEFA cup final two months before. 

 

We finished 20th in the 2nd division and missed the drop by a point. 

 

So I'll not be rooerin about this.

Just a bloke. Being dragged along in a world that moves too quick for it's own good.

I'm pretty sure Barnsley are still a Championship side aren't they? And we ARE a L1 side now with a massive rebuild going on......maybe just maybe we need to be patient and let this group of players settle in and gel before they get absolutely battered with insults. 

Those criticising the team and Moore need a reality check. Back the team and the manager, look to the future not the past. It was never going to be instant

If and only if we could get him at vastly reduced terms even at 36 Westwood would be a better option for one season.

 

his problem last season was fitness and no preseason.

He was crap

For any numpties getting wound up about the result, I’m pretty sure our last friendly of Carlos’ first pre-season was a 4-2 defeat at Scunthorpe.


Seem to recall we ended up playing some pretty good stuff that season.

This bloke perhaps puts it even better:

Meh, not too concerned about the result. Always going to be a waste of time for anything other than fitness without a competent GK or any ST's on the pitch. 

 

We need to get our finger out quickly to recruit what's needed this week.

This 100%

Results are largely meaningless in pre season. I wouldn’t care less if we lost every pre season game.

I know a new keeper will likely be a loan, but we really need someone permanent in.

Keeping is specialised position, if we get Bailey Peacock-Farrell in and Hennessey picks up a knock, then they will just recall him...and we're back to square one.

And before anybody says it, yes, I know we're stuck with Wayne and Waynetta because of their wages...but we need a permanent replacement, not a loan.
