I thought this season would have been a perfect opportunity to give him game time.

To be fair Arbla he has no say in the matter , he is our player & unless Oxford want to stump up he is contracted to us, remember when Wigan recalled Morsey , he was as good as signed for us but Wigan changed their manager & recalled him , he then went on a good run & signed a new contract with them , lets hope that happens with Kane for us .

I certainly hope he does come back Shadrack. I understand what you're saying and agree that technically, Herbie has no say in the matter. But will he bring his current mindset back with him. If he'd prefer to stay at Oxford, he could easily be cheesed off coming back to Barnsley and his performances could be hit. Let's hope the new manager makes him feel wanted and Conway doesn't get to use his motivational skills on Herbie.

Its a good point actually Shad, but theres no telling is there if Herbie himself just doesn't want to 'play ball' with us anymore. And I wouldn't be surprised because hes not been given a fair chance has he. Although in fairness some might also say hes not done himself many favours either here so far.

I had high hopes for the lad seeing as he came from Liverpool's set up, and a bit like Gomes as well as he came from Man City.

We're supposedly after a young midfielder from Oldham , double barrelled name ?? A replacement for Styles , "Davis Keilor Dunn"

Interesting that there's an interview with Ackroyd on the website. Wonder if he's viewed as first team potential now. Have you heard or seen anything about him Roma?

I don't think I've seen him Arby , a lad I know from his Athersley Rec day's does some coaching at the Academy , he says they have a number of potentially good player's coming through the system and he is one of them , he added some of the young players are having to play in Under 18s /23s occasionly because of lack of player's and plenty out on loan etc, "being fast tracked" ? Not what would normally happen down there,

As you say this is one of the few areas of a contract where the club can pull rank.

A loan to Oxford did mowatt no harm and his mindset was where it needed to be. Big val always included him in his squads so can’t have been shirking as we know what happens to players that did! Get him back, if he’s so unprofessional then flog him to Oxford before the end of January .

If he is half arsed then another in the starting 11 won’t hurt

Difference in this case Renno is that Mowatt, if I remember rightly, was coming back into a championship side. If Kane comes back, he's looking at playing in a side that's out of form, potentially losing some key players in January and probably going to be in league one anyway next season. Not sure how I'd feel about that choice. But like you say, get him back and see what happens. Hopefully he'll keep us up single handedly.

I can’t remember - my memory ain’t what it used to be. We have nothing to lose so might as well go for it .

I have to say I’ve been really disappointed with Romal Palmer this season , whether it’s a confidence thing. I always think though that if you’re a decent player in a poor side, you will stand out. There’s arguably only been Collins who has stood out - and that’s because he has to be busier than last season
