No doubt about it.
There’s no other possible conclusion.
Examine the facts.
We were 5-0 down after only 20 minutes. But like Lazarus rising from the dead we saw out a 0-0 draw for the next 25 minutes to half-time.
No flash in the pan either. The turnaround was complete with a 1-1 draw in the second half.
No question about it.
We’re on the Up.
Thanks for the info. JC. It all seems a long way from "Roy of the Rovers"! 😃 Indeed, the only contemporary comparison might
be with Harry Kane. an almost Shakespearean hero for England.
Perhaps more so, if you think of him as "Harry Hot Spur"!!
Thanks for your thoughts, MC. You’ll be referring to Skinner Normanton of Barnsley. He traded kicking lumps of each other with Sid Bycroft of Donny Rovers.
And another manager gone! As for
Barnsley, I seem to recall it was Parkinson's oft-mentioned "home
team", with admiring talk of a certain fearless (subtext - dirty?) player of
his time. As a young boy I used to watch Bath City - Southern League, as
was - when they had the likes of Tony Book (later at Man. City) and Alan
Skirton (later at Arsenal) in its ranks.
I still remember Book for his spectacular sliding tackles in
defence. He'd probably get yellow cards every time now!
Thanks, Stephen G and Ghost. I used to work with a bloke at Grimethorpe who was the most optimistic Barnsley fan in the world. (Well, in Barnsley). He’d say things like “If we win our next 6 matches we’ll only be 8 points off 6th place”.
And thanks for the Like, Stephen A.
Silver lining, John. You've gotta stay positive.
You are football management material John - taking the postives from it.

“Hot Spur” indeed, MC. But for how much longer?
