    Love watching the way we are playing at the moment. 
    So much better than all the tippy tappy bollox that we were playing under Garner. 
    With the right amount of backing I think we have a manager who will deliver success. 
    COYA.

    Fantastic interview with Holden. Liked what he said about giving Campbell a chance on a hunch because of the way he performed in training yesterday. 

    Really warming to the guy

    Campbell's left foot should be insured for several million. It's a very rare artifact at this club.

    For those wishing we sign up Holden - just learn from the Jacko scenario and take stock at the end of the season, when his contract is due. 
  • 4 weeks ago I'd written this fixture off as a definite loss. Absolutely Curbs style win. They should have been 3 up by half time.

    I thought Bonne acquitted himself well and despite lacklustre performances by Dobby and Kane falling to the curse of Charlton there's something bloody minded that I like about the team. Finally.

    Sorry, clearly too cryptic

    It was good to see a left footed player, playing on the left, using the flank, and providing good crosses because there has been very little of it this season due to available personnel. 

    Steer clear of The Sun crossword it will blow your mind.

    Telling you now get Dean Holden on a longer contract he will get us promoted to the Championship. He knows what we need without complicating it.

    I'll give Sandgaard the benefit of the doubt. Might prove to be an excellent decision.

    I agree, but just remind yourself, this time last year the same thing was said about Johnnie Jackson.

    It's still early days.

    I do think Holden has potential for a long term positive future at the club, but Charlton have a knack for new manager bounce...until gravity stops the bounce and....Well, you know the rest

    That was a proper battling performance, what we lacked at the start of the season.

    Not always pretty but effective.

    Honestly think we would have lost that one under Garner.

    We rode our luck at times but broke at pace, which at times they couldn’t cope with.

    Most importantly it’s the result that counts, top 6 looks possible.

    Gotchya! Was confused as he played next to 2 left footed midfielders today. Completely agree. Having a right footed left back and left midfielder isn't the best approach to building a balanced team.

    Was it a dirty game, or was the ref just picky, as I had a look through the BBC live text and there seemed to be more fouls and yellow cards than normal?

    Favourite chant of the day when their forward tried to have a go at Clare and Innis stepped in - “we saw you - you chickened out “

    That’s a great win off the back of Tuesday. They must have been shattered.

    The ref was awful - blowing his whistle every 5 seconds. Frustrating to watch.

    Surprised there wasn't more injury time...

    It was a little bit niggly we gave as good as we got and a couple were for handbags between Innis and Norwood who tried to drag an injured Clare to his feet but his minder took umbrage 😉. Others were taking one for the team challenges.

    Three league wins in a row and a morale boosting performance at Old Trafford can't be bad.

    Barnsley were good make no mistake and on another day they may have pulled themselves together in the last third but they did not and combined with some stout albeit at times last gasp defending we kept a clean sheet.

    Leaburn had a frustrating game, which will teach him a lot, they managed him well within and outside the rules. First time I had closely watched Ness, where did he come from? Very impressive kid in a key position.

    Interesting to see what length of time Kane is out for, looked rusty to me.

    Bonne was looking sharp and shame he hit the post.

    Campbell goal was great especially with the number of people around me shouting "Just effing pass it".

    AMB is sealing the shirt with every game, first saw him play for Hamlet (who beat welling today :) ) liked him then, like him even more now.

    We are building a core of budding young players if only we can hang on to them.

    Today was a good day at the office.

    Up against a very good side, with tired legs and two early injuries, pulled it off, great win. There were lots of really good performances but performance of the day goes to the Valley crowd. Totally different atmosphere to the Lincoln game and the place was absolutely rocking. Football grounds are a wonderful place to be in when there is that level of noise.

    All I will say is… the  quadruple, triple, double, single is still on.

    Great result. 
    A different team from what we’ve been watching in the Autumn. 
    Well done to the lads and coaching staff - Barnsley are a decent side this year. 

    IDobbo looked exhausted, but still put in his normal 100% performance. I hope him giving his shirt away at the end was not significant.

    Barnsley played some good football so it’s very satisfying to come away with a clean sheet.

    Bonne looked like a proper forward, I can see him doing well. 
    Agree with this, we rode our luck a little bit and I thought they were a very handy side who played some good stuff.

    felt like we went 1-0 up against the run of play

    got a bit of luck and we also played well too. All in it was a decent game.

    our time wasting tactics are off the scale, we’d all be going mental of that were against us.

    Holden doing an amazing job, hopefully we can back him and keep him 

    MOM Ness, he’s a proper player

    Players give there shirts away all the time....2+2=5 in this case.

    Pretty certain Campbell is right-footed. It’s great that he can go both sides.

    I thought Barnsley were a good side for this level and we certainly rode our luck in the first half, with the woodwork being our best player. 

    Hats off to the boys and Holden though, a very well fought 3 points, showing that once you cut out the errors and do the basics well, you can get results in this ball bag league.

    I thought Ness was excellent again. What a player he is turning into.

    My advice. Give credit to the manager...

    But give more credit to the players. 

    They did it
