Let's talk about the Scunthorpe game

[the vicar]

They are at least -5 I will find out asy mate used to be on the ground staff and it was his job to know

[knockers]

-8 no hang on a minute it’s -5.
You getting figures wrong again 🙄

[drfchound]

Weather forecast is snow mostly on high ground but with a frost we have covers to cover -8 and I can't see it being that low

It doesn’t matter anyway, the bbc weather forecast shows it as a low of plus 6 degrees overnight.

[Donnywolf]

Potential for light dusting of snow that looks far too north and west to affect us which then turns to rain - and as Hound says the Temp stays no lower than 6c

Game on !

[ironbrunet]

We are in disarray! Sold 400+, but I'd be very surprised if there are many more than 650.

A big home win is on the cards. Honestly expecting us to be hit for four or five.

[Alan Southstand]

What has been the big change - money?

Scunny seem to have been there or thereabouts for a few seasons, now.

It's a detby game - anything is possible.

[RedJ]

Someone said on here last season they'd heard if they didn't make it last season the owners were gonna reign in the spending.

I hope we give them a proper arse rattling.

  Our approach to this game will be crucial, if we are not fully concentrated on our own game, and think we can do anything else but be at our best, we are likely to come a cropper.
   We cannot in any way be complacent, we are not that good.

[Donnywolf]

... and I was heartened to see GM & CB fielded a strong side v Scunny away in Cup game and had clearly motivated the "lads"

I expect the same and will be going for a 2-0 or 3-0 win. I have stopped factoring in "we will concede" into my thoughts (not that anyone will care) Better get on PvO now and record my "vote"

I think we are better than you imply, but otherwise I agree, we need to be on top of our game.

You could make the same point for every fixture.?

[drfchound]

I doubt very much that the team or management will be taking the game anything but seriously.
There will be no complacency.

[selby]

  IDM, when I say we are not that good, I am not referring to football ability, but to the fact that we cannot mentally underestimate any team we come up against, I agree with Hound that the manager will be emphasizing the danger of taking a side who are out of form lightly, and football history is littered with teams whose egoes let themselves down by not taking a weaker side seriously.
   A team has to have the right attitude, and concentration in a game, or  they will not perform to their best ability in any game.

[IDM]

Fair enough, but I still maintain we need that attitude in every game regardless of the opposition..

If there's one game McCann and Byrne certainly know is important for us, it's Scunthorpe. They played in this derby enough times on the other side after all.

[Filo]

If there's one game McCann and Byrne certainly know is important for us, it's Scunthorpe. They played in this derby enough times on the other side after all.

And got players sent off, Mcann got Oster sent off and Byrne got Quinton Fortune sent off in the same game, both scored in that game too

[Donnywolf]

Aye someone posted Highlights t'uther day !

McCann and Byrne got them sent off! 😂😂

Had nothing to do with Oster causing McCann to need stitches in his face and Fortune coming in studs up over the ball then?!

Seem to recall Fortune being so late for the challenge he actually connected with McCann the day after.

Slight distraction on the run up to Saturdays games, just listened to a Barnsley fan on Tykes TV, prior to their match with Portsmouth. Bemoaning their loss of form. One lad said., "We need a leader in the middle of the park. Coppinger at Donny is a dinosaur, but I'd have him in my team!"

[drfchound]

I think some of our fans take what Copps does for us for granted.
Supporters of other clubs often give him praise for his abilities and game changing skills.

[Donnywolf]

Weather forecast is snow mostly on high ground but with a frost we have covers to cover -8 and I can't see it being that low

Latest forecast is High pressure clashing with Low Pressure producing snow in the North West.

For us it is nothing more that rain and the forecast shows we may start and finish the Game in totally dry conditions - or at worst finish in Light Rain

Go back to Car happy with a bit of luck

I certainly don't, he is the foil for so much that the team does, it has been a few years since the team were working on his wavelength, so many that have gone do not have the brain capacity to see what he was trying to get them to do, his football brain is absolutely superb!

[Alan Southstand]

Barmby, are you on the wrong thread?

 

[Pancho Regan]

Does anybody know what time the Belle Vue Bar will open tomorrow?

[drfchound]

Barmby, are you on the wrong thread?

 

Could he be talking about Wolfie.

[RoversAlias]

Have to presume Barmby intended to quote Hound's post about Coppinger.

[silent majority]

Does anybody know what time the Belle Vue Bar will open tomorrow?

10am ?

[besty]
