The FA Cup Conundrum ????

[animallittle3]

I know but with those two and a bit of a jig about we'd get away with losing Mowatt and Woodrow.

Matty James is injured , Kevin Long is a permanent fixture on Burnley's bench .

Both would significantly demand more than 10k a week which would appear to be our threshold .

As SB says we don't do loans .

Losing Woodrow and Mowatt would kill us , don't get me wrong both are decent championship players not world beaters but we haven't a cart load of championship ready players never mind losing two and the realistic replacements won't be ready for this level , they never are .

It's January not July , there is no bedding in period , that ships sailed .

I don't think we'd miss Woodrow that much being played where he is at the minute and could easily be replaced by Bahre in his current role.

Mowatt is our best midfielder but has games where he isn't at the races and could be replaced by Dougall, Styles or Mcgeehan. I don't think with the correct application the squad is that bad. This is being proved by Chaplin in particular.

A relative non-starter under Stendel as were Halme and Oduor. Where are Pinillos, Cavare, Thiam and Wilks right now? They started the season.

I think more of our problems laid tactically under Stendel.

Matty James was in Leicesters matchday squad this week , not sure he was on the bench or even played tho , it was mentioned in the commentary that he was almost fully fit , i can't see us going in for him just now ,

Aye because getting 12 inexperienced kids with no championship experience what so ever and knocking them in to shape inside a month is a piece of pyss innit .

Tha meks me laugh steve , always the HC innit with yourself never the reasons why they are failing .

Struber's walked in and taken bits and bobs from Stendel and Murray plus 50% of his own philosophy .

Give him 12 kids to knock in to shape in August and he'd struggle his tyts off too , guarantee it .

Happy New Year .

It's plainly obvious to most on here , Stendel/Murray/ Struber aren't bad Coaches , some strange decisions selection wise at times from Daniel , particularly just before he left , he'd probably got fed up of it all by then ?
Anyway good luck to Gerhard and the Boy's , a New Years Dawning soon , so let's enjoy it
All the very Best , Salute , HAPPY NEW YEAR to you all

Did Daniel manage the process well at the start of the season ? , no he didn't , we were far too open .

The thing what everyone forgets is that Daniel got the gig because the owners wanted to see us play the high press attacking style , it's on the record via Conway .

Daniel did what he was hired to do and its possible he was a one trick pony .

No fecking wonder his head was baked , couldn't do reight for doing wrong .

It's this daft policy the board have that bakes my head , It can't continue like this or can it ? Something has to give , or we will be back to having a New H C every 12 months again , Flexibility, plus some signs of us wanting to progress would be a start ,
Things are fairly positive on Grove Street just now , an ideal opportunity to get back on the right side of the fans ?

Well there's definitely the opportunity to build some bridges , a sniff of staying up and a transfer window about to open .

I'll accept mistakes have been made , things not handled well , communication with fans poor if they come out and admit their failings and put things right .

I'll not hold my breath though .

This January could be the most successful transfer window in Barnsley FC history.

Being in the relegation zone is just a blip. We will laugh at where we were in December when May comes along and we laik Brentford away.

Happy New Year to all on here and to Dog, Hoss, Spud, young James, Mr Bean, the lovely Grace and the Indian fella.

I think the application was poor before Stendel was sacked. Anyway happy new year to you Jay-lo and your new arrival mate.
