Jimmy Floyd has fallen foul of the process - could this be related to someone explaining to him he has to play a certain way - the Barnsley Way ?

No I don’t like the tippy tappy sideways crab style either.
During the Ismael season we saw patches of quick fire passing that was better on the eye than anything we saw during the following season.
IMO - it’s a matter of mixing it up.
Although successful, Ismael probably went a bit too far with vertical football - but Conway definitely went too far dictating that the style should be changed to possession football.

Physical strength is more relevant as a club drops down the leagues.
So now Barnsley are in a lower league - and with what Khaled has said - then I’m expecting the style of play to be similar to what we saw under Ismael.
