    Said that he can play there but sees himself as a MF. Less competition at CB if he wants to play. Some of our MFs will have to go out on loan if they are to get games surely, we had 10 on show on Friday and that didn’t include Shields, Hallam or Gallimore or a keeper on the bench.

    What is concerning me is that the chairman is signing these players, the manager looks to have no say in it.

    What gives you this idea, have you read something?

    Missed off – Seems like yesterday the memory is so vivid.

    Every Scunny supporter had a good night wherever they were. Remind me who scored the winner. Was it 70?

    Hull brewery. Bitter 1/9d per pint, 1/10d for keg. Went on a brewery visit to Hull, the stuff they served in their on-site pub (Sylvester Arms maybe?) was better than The Bridge. Mind you they always said that the best Barnsley Bitter never left Barnsley.

    It’s my opinion based on what I saw. You don’t have to believe it but it’s real.

    Only noticed Leake taking throws and getting booked. Nothing much going forward but he was playing against a right handful.
    Agree about big Gerry but I thought Bunker looked like he had a good range of passing and possibly the most promising of the subs. Plenty of disappointing performances overall, wish we had a few more Ogles.

    Shame he didn’t stress number 1 to the players BEFORE the match.
    (Maybe he didn’t think about it until he realised it hadn’t worked?)

    I think we know where his priorities lie regarding tactics. He had 5 midfielders in the starting 11 and another 5 on the bench. Seemed strange when the midfield was bypassed most of the time. All that and he still managed to avoid giving the best of them (IMO) a kick!

    Their keeper saved things, ours didn’t.
    Stupid, unnecessary foul for first goal.
    3 headers, 1 saved 2 missed, could have got us an undeserved 3 points

    People who pay their money are entitled to express their opinion. If that is ‘moaning’, blame it on what they had to endure. If you don’t think last night justified a few moans then you probably weren’t there.

    Hill & Swann tried that preparing for an assault on winning the NL. It didn’t work very well for them did it?

    quite a few new signing while losing 90k a month?,” it’s his money “so they said once before.
    Be wary people. I’d like to see a plan to stay afloat before I start crowing about this new guy

    Maybe not too much impact on the finances?
    Nuttall & Lavery out – Shields, DSF & McDonagh in.
    Apter & Dewhurst back – Fewster, Bunker & Leake loaned
    Might even have saved a bit?

    Surely, for the first two games he will lean heavily on Nelson.
    (Well. I think it’s around 16 midfielders he has to choose from.)

    Our best chance of a positive result could be the element of surprise. We must presume Barnet have had us watched, if we start with 4 or 5 new signings in a 4-4-2 (for example) they might be confused for half an hour.

    I think the big lad will start, maybe instead of O’Malley. Depends what formation he plays though.

    When he says amazing he’s probably referring to it having a restaurant that serves meat.

    Just looked at Rhys Murphy on Wiki, seems to score plenty but not when he plays for Northern clubs.

    Just a question, nothing more.
    How many of todays signings look like guaranteed starters?

    I see Dion Sembie-Ferris as the new Cleveland Taylor.

    I hope you’re right, would be preferable to the next Devarn Green.

    Maybe not a ‘nailed on’ starter in the first 2 les? If DFS was P/T he surely won’t be ready to start for a few weeks. Could be a last 20 minutes game changer though.

    Promising start? Billy Fewster:-
    “One thing that was strikingly obvious in Fewster’s performance yesterday is that he’s very similar to first-team star Ryan Yates.If you’d squinted at the laptop whilst watching the game on YouTube, you’d have been forgiven for thinking it was actually Yates strutting his stuff in midfield. Aside from his running style being akin to Yates, his overall play in the middle of the park was very similar too.”

    I hope so!!

    A prediction for tomorrow:-
    Some will be overwhelmed, some will be underwhelmed and some will not be whelmed one way or the other.
    Here’s hoping!! UTI.
    As somebody said earlier, if the signings are all from NLN we could be in trouble, let’s hope there’s some proven quality in there and it’s not all “potential”.

    Nelson has been saying for a few weeks that they have a list of potential signings to speak to when the embargo is lifted. It’s likely that the names will be largely unknown to Dean and he’ll need some guidance on who does what. Also, by tomorrow, L1 & L2 clubs (I hope some on the list are from there) will have finalised their squads and know who is surplus to requirements. Strikers HAVE to be on that list.

    The transfer embargo at the club has now been lifted. A massive thank you to the @TheVanarama NL for all of their help over the last few days.

    Thanks David.

    If any P/T players are brickies, plumbers and the like then they’re unlikely to take a substantial pay cut to go full time with The Iron IMO.
