    The thing about Hecky, Morais, Stendel and Struber was that IMO they were at the start of the revolution taking place at Oakwell.
    The style was slowly evolving during their time.

    Can anyone remember the Morais teams - no one at the time understood what the hell he was trying to do - I remember (or I think I do) McBurnie tackling back at what would be described now as left wingback and thinking WTF has Morais lost the plot.

    Clearly looking back now Morais was obviously under strict instructions how the team should line up.
    As were the rest of the coaches.
    Often struggling with players that just did not fit the system back then.

    Supporters have to realise that the club has been in the middle of what I can gather was a struggle between James Cryne and Conway.
    Barnsley has been living under a very dark cloud called ‘Conway’ for the past few year and we are just starting to get clear of that.
    So I think all these coaches were better than what their time at Barnsley would otherwise indicate.

    As much as I like Hecky I wouldn’t want him back as HC as he doesn’t play the Barnsley Way.

    But I would have Stendel and Struber back - especially Stendel - as they played that style in Europe and understood what Barnsley were trying to do.
