Playoff 2nd leg……. Will we make a game of it or will it be ****


Recommended Posts

The third goal was a cracking team goal, too.  The surging run and pass, the classic stepover, the rest just brilliant by James, like he'd been a striker all his life.  And the sheer urgency on his face as he runs back.  Moore did some job inspiring those lads to perform like that for over two hours.  We crushed the life out of 'boro.

I loved James' reaction too - I thought he was surprised by the stepover and didn't quite control it properly and just managed to toe poke it under the keeper

I also loved Dawson's reaction to their goal - no sulking or head in hands - just got the ball straight out of the goal and got the ball back up for the kick off

Back to the 4th goal - Palmer is on his way up but isn't even anywhere near the box when Vaulks is drying the ball with the towel. If he hadn't have dried the ball - like John Pearson was shouting - Palmer definitely wouldn't have scored

Re the playoffs more generally - how often since the start have the top two qualifying teams in each division been in the final, haven’t checked but it seems an irregular occurrence. 
Here’s hoping in our league at least the team highest placed get promoted.

Spoke to a former Barnsley player today who lives on my round

Said he spoke the Peterborough assistant manager (another ex Barnsley player) the night after in the golf club. Asked if they turned up thinking they were through, He said none of the staff did but they felt they couldn't get it through to the players who he thinks had the wrong mindset.

He asked why they kept JCH on when he'd been atrocious - "for the penalty shoot out"

Not the coaches fault, it's the players.

Whereas on our side it was the coaches that changed the mentality
