Barnsley FC

[Campsall rover]

This one is for Tyke I suppose but open to all obviously.

Normally I would be wishing them the best of luck in the Play Off’s tonight but if Rovers do go up I really hope we will have a South Yorks mini league next season in
League 1
Barnsley, Rovers & Rotherham for the 1st time in a very long time.
Am I right in saying only 1 season since the mid 1970’s has that happened.

Just got a feeling that Bolton v Oxford will be the final at Wembley and for some reason I have an esp for Oxford. Although Bolton must be favourites on paper.

I am not making any predictions for League 2 but we all know who is going up don’t we? 

Championship will be Leeds v Norwich final & yes I am going to predict Leeds will blow it again. So it’s Norwich for me.
Leeds have only ever won 2 games at Wembley both v Arsenal.

Lost to Liverpool 1965
FA cup final

Won v Arsenal 1968
League Cup final

Drew with Chelsea 1970
Won v Arsenal 1972
Lost to Sunderland 1973
All FA Cup finals

Lost to Aston Villa 1996
League Cup final

Lost to DRFC 2008
Lost to Watford 2013
Play off Finals

I happen to be torn for both reasons, i don't think they'll do it though, as of Wednesday i truly hope they fail to stay up

[Pancho Regan]

Come on Bolton!

[Alan Southstand]

Good luck, Tyke.

[Guernsey Exile]

One nil down

[StocksArmy]

Don't really care. If we do the biz I want them both to stay down as they are both better away days than Oxford and Peterorough.

[ncRover]

What’s gone wrong there? Been really poor in the last 2 months

Peterborough is better than Bolton IMO. Quicker as well

Ey, no need for that!

[rover-n-out]

Tykes look totally devoid of ideas up front, Cole looks bloody clueless, unless they change something up front they could play til midnight and not score. Bolton just gone 2 up with a penalty. Sorry Tyke I feel for you in this situation. Herbie having a quiet game as well.

[Silkscarf]

I feel sorry for Barnsley. Sacking the manager who got them to the playoffs wasn’t the answer. A manager deserves respect in that position.

Have they got a new manager yet? Sounds like they’ve thrown away any chance they had tonight.

So bring on the mini-league.

Anyone else irritated that they get called ‘The Reds’ as if that is their official nickname and us and Rotherham play in other colours? Maybe just me!

[Barmby Rover]

One more and Bolton can (relatively) relax, stop the Dingles from scoring (not too difficult in recent weeks) and have a nice time for the home leg. Pity.

[RoversInSpain]

Never forgotten how Bolton completely neshed a match v Rovers because they thought they’d lose so just cancelled it…Bizarrely they got away with it. Barnsley, to me have always been our greatest rivals, since I started going in 1974/75. So they can stay put.
As for Peterborough, thought we’d got a really good hate relationship going with them a few years ago. Kieran Sadlier and the throw in was an event to warm your heart.
So it’s Oxford for me….

My head says it will be Bolton but I hope it will be Oxford as furthest away. But I fpjust have a feeling Oxford might do it this year. They keep getting close and Robinson is no longer their manager who keeps bottling it as does Fergie at Posh.
So yes let’s hope it’s Oxford that goes up.
Anyway unless we do the business it is irrelevant    We WILL 

[Campsall rover]

1-2 now to Bolton so game on. Think they need an equaliser to give them serious hope.

[Silkscarf]

13,846. Will we beat that on Friday?

What is that gate Silkscarf.  Was that the Southend gate, think it was.
I would very much doubt it because Crewe won’t bring as many as Southend.

[Silkscarf]

Oakwell tonight. Just comparing us and them really.

[Silkscarf]

13,081 was the Southend game.

[Campsall rover]

Oakwell tonight. Just comparing us and them really.

13.081 for that Southend game.

That’s a poor gate for Barnsley in a play off. Notice Bolton have not filled the away end. All the bottom tier is empty.  I thought they would get 16/17.000 tonight.

Now 1-3 to Bolton. That should do it but Barnsley are better away than home at present.

[PDX_Rover]

Looked like a foul on the keeper for the third.

[Silkscarf]

Let’s hope Crewe are Barnsley in disguise.

[Chris Black come back]

They’ve lost their last four away league games in a row. Their current away form is terrible.

[rover-n-out]

Blatant foul on the keeper for the third goal, Santos just backed into the keeper and bundled him into the nets. Shocking miss by the ref.

[Campsall rover]

They’ve lost their last four away league games in a row. Their current away form is terrible.

Their overall form is terrible. But in 2nd half of the season overall they have been good away CBcb

[Pancho Regan]

Errr…. They’re not good enough. It’s not that surprising.

Allegedly Bolton sold there full allocation which was just 2163

Barnsley only gave Bolton 2,000 and thewy sold it within minutes.

[tyke1962]

Probably as expected by many of us , we were a busted flush weeks ago and I don't think many of us thought we'd be anywhere other than league one next season .

Get the first goal on Tuesday night and it could get interesting but the truth is we've been crap defensively all season and once the goals dried up we were always going to run in to trouble .

I'm not disappointed because it's just what I expected , it's the hope that kills you and I had none .

Very very poor season and we aren't very good at all , some awful players here at the moment and if they cleared the lot out it wouldn't be the worst decision .

Big job for whoever is daft enough to take this poison chalice on but without some proper funding they've next to no chance of getting out of this league anytime soon .

[Barmby Rover]

Sorry to hear that Tyke, we all know about disappointment on here! It makes the small bursts of success all the sweeter when they come, here's hoping! The silver lining is derby matches with Rotherham, Huddersfield and hopefully, Doncaster Rovers!!!!!!
