Why does everyone think Barnsley will win their final 4 games?

[RichD]

So people can say I told you so...

 

[burb]

I just cringe at the way people say they are shite and refer to them as Barnsleona etc.

Our problem is our defence is so shaky we cant win a game by only scoring one goal, whereas others can. Barnsley have kept 21 clean sheets in the league so far. Portsmouth 17 clean sheets. We have kept 12.

Grigg & Wyke aren't prolific either, which doesn't help when we need to score 2 or 3 to win a game. They have 7 league goals between them in 23 starts. Maja had 15 in 22 starts.

 

[Spaceturtle]

I reckon 90 points will be enough. Ours and Portsmouth's run-ins are very tough, Barnsley's form is ropey and Charlton have to go to Oxford who rarely lose at home.

Oxford had 3 or 4 really good chances to put us to bed that day

 

[matt228]

Because people have no faith that Sunderland can make them happy. Which, to be honest, is perfectly reasonable given the overwhelming historical evidence.

 

[fredthefan]

summit has to give between us and Pompey though.

Game at the SoL will be a promotion decider I think

 

[kildaremackem]

We aren't in a position to even need to care about other teams results.

Fuck Barnsley. Just win our own games.

its in our hands-but as we play them..its in their hands as well!

 

[Chop Sauce]

They have only won two of their last 4.

If they continued the same form they would end on 89 points.

We have won 3 of our last 5.

If we continued the same form we would end on 90 points.

Portsmouth would end up on 95, Luton on 94 and Charlton on 91.

I think you will find some but not all are simply concerned with our form compared to Portsmouth Charlton and Barnsley.

So win our games as I said then?

Ssssh dont come on here with your facts, we are mint and gonna walk it, despite having to come from behind in a hell of a lot of home games,only winning half of them, talking one point from the teams in 9th and 10th, having the teams in 6th and 4th to play and having failed to beat one of those teams so far this season........

yes and they can say exactly the same.

grigg is pretty prolific for us now..

 

[Comeback_Kenwyne]

Don't think anybody other than possibly Charlton will win all their games.

Which is why I think Charlton are a real threat - that would put them on 91.

 

[worcestermakem]

Be difficult for the team to understand the manager's tactical talks with him sounding like a German Freddy Parrot Face Davies.

 

[Sam Handwich]

Neither do I.
Plymouth and B Rovers are more than capable of holding their own against them.

Wish i hadn't read that

I don't think anyone does tbh. My concern isn't whether Barnsley and Portsmouth will slip up, it's more about whether we can capitalise on any slip ups. I think we'll all drop points, so it's too close to call imo

 

[splorty]

Pompey will lose the morra. People looking at their recent form when truth is they have played a top ten team for 9 weeks.

 

[samaistonsrightfoot]

I'm not talking about them though. We win the rest of our games we go up which is what I said.

So can we concentrate on that?

 

[everstar]

Our form is better than Barnsleys. Unfortunately not the other two

 

[Jimmer13]

In our hands, so up to us, why worry about others.

Ha-Way the Lads!

 

[splorty]

Charlton will draw tomorrow as well. Oxford in great form. Can’t see Pompey getting three points at Burton. Shrews in decent form too although Barnsley should do them at home. If they don’t then it’s a Defo sign of nerves IMO. None of it matters if we don’t win of course. We could be second tomorrow. Or 5th.
