    And Peterborough replaced him with the top goal scorer in league one who was named league one player of the year

    they know what they’re doing

    the crazy thing is both guys never played full time starter minutes until they went to Peterborough but the goals per 90 were solid. They seem to be using an analytics heavy approach like brentford. We will see what Peterborough can do in the championship next season.

    The chairman does a podcast and he is pretty sharp. Talked about how they purposely play attacking knowing they’ll concede so they can sell their strikers to help fund the club

    They have a 10% sell on fee on toney and if Brentford make the prem with him they get £1m

    Brentford’s scout team is incredible. They buy strikers, sell them for a ton of profit, buy another top striker.

    Newcastle had him and never even tried to give him a chance. At least there’s a sell on I think.

    He’s already moved from Peterborough to brentford so I doubt Newcastle have anything at this point

    There was a sell on clause from Newcastle to Peterborough. If they get more money then Newcastle is due some of it still, I’m pretty sure

    I thought he was a front for some criminal gang looking to buy a team. I guess I should have just assumed that a fraud was more likely.

    Bournemouth get an early goal to go up 2-0 aggregate but just conceded a penalty (pretty harsh handball IMO)

    Maybe putting Dike on the bench wasn’t such a good idea.

    imagine being a Barnsley fan, riding this unimaginable wave largely due to the physical presence up top, allowing them this opportunity to reach the highest level of the sport, and the manager drowns out any chance playing 3D underwater chess

    In his defense Dike was the worst rated player in the first leg and they hadn’t scored a single goal against Swansea through 3 matches on the season

    Im not sure Dike would make a difference. Yes he's been fantastic since arriving in Barnsley, but he's exactly the type of player that Cabango and Guehi can cover up as shown in game 1.

    Barnsley showing fuck all though so they probably need to give him his chance sooner than later.
