In need of stern test!!

I'm sure i'm not alone in my thinking, that the opposition thus far appears to have been set up to knock down and whilst i accept you can only beat whats in front of you, it is a little worrying that with the new season upon us we have yet to come under sustained pressure.My hope is that the remaining fixtures will pose the questions, however i cant see tomorrow nights encounter with the weaker of the 'Tin city' clubs being anything more than a run out against an ever declining pop and crisp league outfit...

Bison...I can't see us learning a great deal tonight as we're highly unlikely to face kick n rush footy in the Championship.

To be fair Lunny, the standard of opposition from the big teams in pre season is almost on the same level as a lower team. The majority of teams outside the premiership field a team most likely to play when the season is underway. A premiership team, aside from one or two names, field a team to give their young and fringe players a look in.

The mentaility of the team is far better than the results at this stage and if we start the season full of confidence I don't really mind if the opposition are a league above us or below us. The real work starts on the 6th

Not tonight Lunny.

Got my flight back from Canada on 4th August in time for Florists game. Will be tuning in on Barnsley Player tonight though to cheer on the team. Working hard on converting Canadians to Barnsley, Toronto FC just isn't the same

My local out here is run by a blunt so Barnsley scarf and Blunt scarf take pride of place behind the bar and plenty of banter to be had by all. Setting up Barnsley player in the bar tonight to share the love

Chuck in Leeds and you've got the 'axis of evil'. Or 'triumvirate of tosspots', one of the two.
