Championship Season 2020 - 2021

Barnsley on a great run, like Reading a very limited side but pragmatic, well organised, with a good manager. Contrast with our passing/possession-obsessed manager and fragile, under-performing team

Barnsley are exhibit ‘A’ of having the right people at executive level to choose a manager. They have now plucked out two excellent left field appointments in succession. 

That's what makes me so depressed. Venkys haven't a clue how to structure a football club properly after they destroyed the structure under John Williams. Even Blackpool have turned the corner owner-wise. We may finish up worse than Notts County.

 

[JHRover]

Barnsley a lower budget Brentford. Have managed to assemble an exciting positive side on a relative shoestring but most importantly have the ownership, plan and structure to cope with managerial and playing turnover. Sourcing Stendel, Struber and Ismael impressive recruitment that has worked each time. Imagine the chumps at Rovers doing similar.

The Barnsley rise is awkward for Mowbray, Waggott and the Facebook morons. Having whinged about everything from time, resources, parachute money and a journey Barnsley are now showing us up on each front.

He's had excuses galore for Watford, Norwich, Bournemouth being above us

So what's the excuse for Barnsley Tony?

Great result for Rotherham, terrible for us.

Yes down to 10 men and scoring a winner in the 97th minute!

Will do wonders for their morale.

Bicycle clips on!

Sounds like Wednesday were pushing for a winner and Rotherham broke away from a Wednesday corner and scored.

"If we go on a run......."

"Let's judge it at the end of the season......."

Absolutely superb goal, even more so because of the timing.

"How can little old Blackburn Rovers compete with a club that as the biggest cake production line in Europe in their town, that is an incentive we can never achieve"

I fear we are going to miss the boat on this guy.. surprised at the lack of interest in him.. even on here 

Not sure what you mean?

[JHRover]

Warnock staying at Middlesbrough for next season. He'll be knocking on for 74 by the time his contract ends.

To think back in 2016 there were people saying we should avoid him because he was too old and would be retiring soon.

[Rogerb]

Cardiff move quickly to give mick a two year contract extension beyond the end of this season.

[davulsukur]

Let's hope Venkys don't get any ideas about giving out contract extensions....

I mean very much under the radar, even when people on here mention names, often this guy not included yet serious contender

Brentford v Rotherham is off tomorrow due to covid in the Rotherham camp. Chance to increase that gap Mowbray.

[Wovers]

I’m all for giving Barnsley credit, lucky bastards though, if it wasn’t for Wigan’s points deductions they’d be in league one now.

That's a blow, gives Brentford more recovery time.

Anyone can beat anyone in the Championship is the usual excuse for inconsistency.

That isn't applying to dinosaur Mick's Cardiff. Now unbeaten in 11 since taking over.

Or Tony’s Rovers... although sadly we are becoming quite consistent

Dont think that applies to us.

We cannot beat anyone in the top half, and can only beat teams in the bottom half with ten men.

Everyone can beat us.

Barnsley are in 6th. Well done to them.

[Ewood Ace]

Gavin Ward causing carnage in the Swansea V Boro game with some abysmal refereeing. I've said it before but to me there looks to be a clear agenda from officials against Warnock.

[Ewood Ace]

Interesting comments from Warnock about Swansea, ref's and Steve Cooper's dad. I must say the thought has crossed my mind before. One thing is for certain Swansea get a lot of iffy decisions go their way.
