What a never to be forgotten game that was - we were under the cosh for most of the match and then we scored 3 in the last 10 minutes. The scoreline was about as misleading as our 2-7 defeat at Spurs 10 years later.

My dad took me to the 5-1 game.
We were stood about halfway, Rovers fans mixed in with Barnsley fans.
Not an ounce of trouble despite me cheering like mad as a 13 year old lad.

Not sure I like the look of that defence but at least there should be some midfield cover

Also looks like Lecygne and Neal might return after their short loans if they can't make the bench

We need this one badly. Just hope the players reflect that on the pitch after last weeks showing.

Barnsley must start favourites and we'll have to work hard to stand a chance. With Grant in the team we've more chance of keeping the ball on the deck. Set pieces will be important to us.

Head says Barnsley but heart says 3-1 Rovers!

No, I think they mean the user/customer has to raise the complaints.  If the club complains directly they are acting as a third party.  Maybe??

We've been nowhere near the play offs.

We're not good enough, not by a long way

5 games ago we were 6/7 points off the play offs, and in decent form.  At that point in time, we needed to maintain 2 points per game on average to get to 75.  Continue that form without the disruption of injuries, and yes, we may not have closed the gap but would have been competing. 

Since then we have got 1 point from 5. 

At the time of the Stoke game, we were definitely good enough to be looking to go up the table.  Now, our form suggests we have to look down.  No one is doubting that, but you can't say we weren't in a position to do better a few weeks ago?

Neal as gone back, the two young lads should not be kept. That gives us a chance for at least two better loans. A central midfield player and striker. We need better than Gooch and Lecygne

TRB we gave PD time to build his own side in that we are left with players that have not got in our first team. If We go down then it will be the owners, managers and players fault.

Won one in the last seven games.
