the_mighty_bosh Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 If he'd seen the job through he'd have got it. This. It's easy to say with hindsight that none of the parties concerned have benefitted from Johnson leaving us for them. But I strongly believed at the time that seeing the season out with us and getting us a top half finish (not even playoffs) would've put him in line for an obvious step up and he would've left here with the blessing of the fans. Leaving at the time he did to a club that wasn't an obvious step up at the time was hard to swallow and helped send us on a downward spiral that exacerbated the instability we've had this calendar year.

disjointed Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 Tbf, even tho I know I know he didnt 'do the dirty' on us, Im still going to give him absolute dogs abuse on saturday. I fell hook, line and sinker for the Johnson patter, my opinion now is, short arse judas :censored:, and as such he will receive both barrels again on Saturday.

NewBlue Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 I know we will never know, but I would love to hear an honest answer from him to the question "do you regret leaving" It'll be a no He's clearly got no room for sentiment and his pocket is significantly thicker in Barnsley. If he gets sacked he'll get a massive windfall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryBosch Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 I bear him no ill will for getting himself a better job but I'm quite looking forward to the abuse that will rain down on him on Saturday and might well join in This boring abomination of a season needs a match with a bit of needle.

oafc1955 Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 Kevin Long just signed for Baaarnsley on loan from Burnley. Might make his debut along with Aidy White....is it better to play against a new defensive unit who haven't played together before or a settled back 4 who've lost 8 in a row?

underdog Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 (edited) "Fire up the Powerpoint" when we go 2-0 up... Someone needs to knock up some songs about Bomb Alley, Corridor of Confusion etc....... I can only think of genesis "land of confusion...." But there some apt words in there. And bomb alley, I can only think of 10 German bombers in the air... Dread to think what we could up with for "Pomo"...anyone?

Damian_Thorn Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 I always found it odd that anyone who wants to play football 'the right way' would put POMO or Position Of Maximum Opportunity on their presentation. It was the brainchild of Charles Hughes, born in 1929, who coached England between 1964 and 1974. It was criticised for being a 'long ball' type of game, because he believed a goal should be scored in 3 passes or fewer by getting the ball into a POMO as quickly as possible. Unless they just pinched the phrase, because it looks good on a PowerPoint presentation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that this strategy coupled with signing 2 out of contract players last week signifies that Judas is starting to panic. Long seems highly rated by the Dale fans where he played on loan but might have been brought in to bully Higdon who I hope that we dont start with. He looks a tall lad and Barnsley fans seem to worry about balls on the deck. I would start Poleon with Rasulo just behind him to see if they struggle with that speed. I dont think that the 'settled back 4' matters. It seems to be the lack of a plan B that gets most complaints on the Barnsley forums.

leeslover Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Every time the ball is 23 yards from goal: "We're in the zone of individual brilliance," to Yellow Submarine. It will also remind our players what to do in a positive supporting way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddog Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Just had a mental image of somebody projecting the picture with all the labels on, onto the back of the north stand, with one of those laser dot things, pointing out where we're at throughout the game .

parigby Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 So let me summarise : disliked ex Latics manager returns to BP (sod this Sports Direct cobblers ) they are on a run of eight defeats they have an unsettled back four with a couple of new additions We have a fortress BP home record to protect .

Bunty Blue Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 When he appears.......sing the Long note "Hi ho" with hand gestures. Like "Andy Ritchie's magic..." But with something more appropriate that rhymes with banker. Then "Hi ho, hi ho, The Barnsley dwarf we know Little Lee Jonson, the greedy one Hi ho, hi ho, hi ho. ..." Repeat and repeat...
