While the reluctance of the previous owner to provide finances to improve the first team cannot be overstated and have left our team in a perilous situation.
However, I still would question if the manager is making the best use of the resources he has available. We have seen at the start of this season Barnes and JBG have to say the least been ineffective, but are in the starting line up every game so far. Last Monday at Everton they were replaced by R-Rod and Lennon which saw no improvement. To his credit Sean Dyche did react yesterday bringing on Cornet and Vydra and we looked a far better side for the last 33 minutes.
If I remember correctly at the end of last season we looked a better side with Wood and Vydra as our striking partnership, but at the start of this season we reverted to Wood and Barnes.
The only thing I see that Barnes brings to the game is a nuisance value but he as the appearance of a red card waiting to happen, he was very lucky in the Leeds game the tackle on Dallas was completely unjustified.
At present I am hoping that the teams fortunes will turn around but if we revert to starting Barnes and JBG at Leicester next weekend then I would certainly question the managers loyalty to players who have been good for us in the past but who are presently not up to standard over younger players who may need game time to reach their potential, without question Cornet and Vydra must be in the starting eleven over Barnes and JBG.
