    Adam Davies

    James Bree, Angus MacDonald, Marc Roberts, Aidy White,

    Marley Watkins, Conor Hourihane, Josh Scowen, Adam Hammill,

    Thomas Bradshaw, Adam Armstrong. ​

    But if we lose any of them, I think we're up **** creak bart paddle, and with the recent speculation and knowing the contract situation of some of our players, I can't for the life of me see us having this team come February. I know we'll loan in 3 or 4 players to fill gaps, and Yiadom is coming back at some point, but what will the team look like for the rest of the season.

    I think Hourihane & Bree will leave, and we'll bring in another four players, what's your thoughts?

    We might have an even better one. Why worry about something until it actually happens?

    There are certain times in life where the only possible, sensible, logical course of action is to worry and panic. This is not one of them. February 1st might be, but not today.

    Today is another day that's gone by, without us strengthening the squad to the degree that we need to, it's obvious we're going to lose players, and that we already needed a bit more depth going into this year, and new players are still not arriving in the numbers that we need them to, I think every day that goes by without players coming in is a genuine reason to worry a little more about what the near future holds for Barnsley Football Club.

    We've announced a signing today and we extended Armstrong's loan earlier.

    So we've lost a Striker and a Midfielder, fetched in a right back, and extended a loan, it's the 19th January we needed 3 or 4 players to start with and now we have less than we had at the start of the month.

    It's also another day that's gone by without us losing a player.

    It's quite possible that you're correct, but why worry? You can't change it, unless you've got 40 or 50 million quid knocking about. I'm trying to chill and enjoy life, and wait and see where we are on February 1st.

    We've lost a striker and extended a striker (up to the exact time where we would have lost the first striker anyway and we now have money too). We've lost a midfielder who was only ever a loanee who could be recalled in January and we've gained a right back (which we need) on loan.

    Every silver lining has a cloud, every solution has a problem.

    So we've one less player that we had in December, and we needed 3 or 4 more to start with, that's what I said to start with is it not, did we need a right back ? With Bree and Yiadom, I would have thought a natural left footed left back is what we really needed.

    Yiadom is out for up to 5 weeks and Bree could get injured any day. I'd be worried if we hadn't brought someone in.

    I'm not sure it does. I don't see how Armstrong automatically deserves a spot in the team. I'd prefer to either drop him for Williams or drop him for Kent & put Watkins on top.

    My hope is that when we finally get to see something of him that Janko can do a good for us on the right & Watkins & Bradshaw can play up top together
