    Stop playing safe !!!

    Latest article in the Yorkshire Post.
    Currently on Barnsley Now.
    Hopefully someone can post the article on here.

    Reading the article it seems clear to me that Clarke is saying that the players are still suffering the hangovers from the tippy tappy possession style football that was drilled into them last season by Collins.

    It’s well worth a read.

    You are spot on Pass, Collins did a great job under the circumstances and so might Clarke but until fans wake up and stop blaming HC after HC and start looking at the root problem of why we are going steadily down the pan then nothing will change , the suits who run our club are to blame but use the fans to get them off the hook, the blame gets deflected onto the HC , the fans cry for his head and they duly oblige, rinse and repeat enter the next lamb to the slaughter , the squad gets weaker and weaker and the slow but sure slide continues .

    Blady ell !!!
    Don’t shoot the messenger.
    Hahaha.
    Not everything can be blamed on Collins - other HCs have had to pick up the pieces from where the previous HC left off.
    And gone on to do a good job.
    But obviously Collins did totally change the playing style at the club - so Clarke does have a valid point.
