    ........ I’ve listened to the recent Paul Conway interview on radio Sheffield 3 times now.

    And I still can’t understand how the recruitment strategy is going to work.
    How can it work if we are just recruiting young players that need developing.

    Barnsley is going into a higher league where there will be no compassion shown by other clubs.
    Barnsley players have to hit the ground running or they will soon find themselves near the bottom of the league.
    So if we do struggle in certain positions - how is this going to be rectified if the recruitment strategy is to only sign young players with potential ???
    If, or by the time these young players meet their potential we might be on our way back to the 1st Division.

    I thought it meant players good enough for the Championship with potential to go further, not established Championship players or Premier League players after a last pay day. We’ll have to pay more (probably) but they should be saleable assets. We’ve picked up more than a few in the past few seasons cheaply enough to suggest we can make it work, haven’t we?

    We'll be shopping at Asda and Morrison's now instead of Aldi and Lidl for players to develop.

    I've got a discount card for Morrisons, maybe I should get in touch with Mr. Conway?

    The team that got promoted was part of this process...why can’t it happen in championship?, we’ve been bringing national league and league two players along...maybe we can look at league one up and coming players now..

    Instead of the lazy comment - what about describing to me and others reading this thread how this strategy is going to work.

    How about not rehashing the same old tripe you've been spouting since 1958?

    By and large the strategy has worked. We were promoted, or did you miss that?

    I thought on a previous occasion PC has also said that while there were lots of clubs using statistics for attackers there are fewer using them for defenders. Maybe we think we can be ahead of the market in that area.
    I did enjoy those 48 hours last week between winning promotion and starting to worry about next season.

    Because it’s a far more competitive and unforgiving league- has everyone got selective amnesia about the last time we tried this?

    Except last time we came up we actually did very well- the recruitment strategy is and has been spot on. It's keeping players that will be the key

    Someone already has done.

    When in League One, sign young, promising players from National League/possibly League Two clubs. Develop, utilise, and sell on for profit. Invest profit into club to repeat process after utilising skills of players.

    When in The Championship, do exactly the same, but also sign better players, from teams higher up the structure (ie, in League One - those you couldn't afford or persuade last season, as they played for competing rivals. They are now more likely to join, as we're in a higher division and have more money).

    Are you saying League one clubs showed us compassion then? I didn’t see that if they did. Shrewsbury kicked us off the park at their place and made life very difficult in the return fixture. Sunderland and Coventry certainly didn’t as they took 4 points from our games. I think you choose the word compassion instead of ability, that being ability to stop us. Of course we are up against more formidable opponents next season, that’s what happens when climbing a league higher. We are now in a more competitive position when trying to attract players, and thus stand a better chance of landing initial targets. I think that’s what Paul Conway was alluding to in his latest interview.
