Barker is a gonna ...or we will be.

[OhWell]

For what it's worth, I've just got back from Fleetwood & Whatmough was our best player, he didn't put a foot wrong & used the ball superbly

Seriously, if your other players are even worse than he is, you are in deep trouble. When he played at St Mary's, he barely looked capable of moving his feet, let alone putting one of them out of place. The game totally passed him by.

I just saw the Fleetwood goals on the Football League show and Whatmough was just stood there looking bemused as the other players ran around him. You are right: he didn't put a foot out of place.

So Scumbag, you don't rate one or all of our players, quite honestly i don't give a flying **** won't you think, or why you choose to troll over this site. No run along and concentrate on continuing to be the sactimonious piece of **** that you portray so well

Everybody has their favourite players, so that is why we argue over who should or should not be in the team week by week.

However, one thing we are united about is that we want to see progression and gradual development and improvement by and within the team/squad.

We seem to be making the same mistakes, coming up short in fitness, skills and cooperation/footballing nouse just as we were in the first games of the season with an entirely different squad of players and under a different Manager.

What is going on? Perhaps we are paying them too much.

The number of extra players that Barker has signed must have made a serious dent in our wage reserves... he doesn't seem to correspondingly get rid of players. Has the squad improved or does he just harangue even the players he has signed... seems to be full of how good things will be when he gets his own men in... wonder what sort of a clue he really has

I've been thinking along those lines for a while now. Funny how they turned in a good performance in front of the cameras at Chesterfield a couple of weeks ago. Macca said afterwards that they took everything that he and Barker explained to them on board.

Unfit and lazy under Whittingham. No real change while Awford was caretaker. Improved fitness under Barker - but what else? That seems to be how things have panned out this season.

Makes me smile when I see him taking shooting practice in the warm up...might as well not bother
