Barnsley as a team

I have not been able to attend matches at all this season.
Today I was able to watch them on a streamer.
My verdict on the outside looking in
3 players massively overweight
Hemings no where as good as Rose who we let go
Brown totally inept and never tackles just backtracks
Dudgeon will never be good enough for us never mind Hull
Cranie could be let Go and we would not miss him.
Wilson has renewed half of the team and he needs another half to make one
Wilson himself looked a man lost on the touch line and he kept losing his rag. He has no idea when and how to turn game round, just sticks with same which is not working.
We are wide open on break,
I think he needs until end of year and I think he will be under severe pressure.
When our scouts look at new players do they think they are good players, because we could use our Academy lads and they are miles in front of some we keep fetching in.
We let go better than some of these.
Finally Chester will beat us in replay.

 

I have to agree with you.
I watched home and away with Hill and Flitcroft.
They are not the worlds best but I do think both are equal if not better than Wilson.
Let's not deflect from today and this team. They are only average and not Top six class.
We will need to wait while next year for any chance of going up, but I do not think Wilson will be at the Helm.

 

I think people have forgotten how truly abject we were all season last season.

 

Wilson cleared out the dross at the end of last season and rightly so.

Unfortunately Some, not all, of the players recruited by him are no better.

The buck stops with him as it does with any manager.

 

I actually think we were better last season.

At least that was against decent teams, not pub teams essentially.

 

We've had some decent performances in amongst the **** this season but besides couple of games at most we were abysmal last season.

 

While I agree with your overall point, getting turned over by the like of MK Dons and Swindon mixed in with a couple of good results against $hite like Coventry and blunts, surely is worse than getting beaten by good teams that have spend 10, 20, 30x what we did, if not more

 

I suppose its all relative. In theory we had a better squad last season but in reality they were ****. I think this is a blip, a bloody big one but we're not getting torn a new one most weeks. We have problem areas in the team and Danny will have to earn his crust sorting these out in January. I still think he'll turn our fortunes around.

 

I agree with most of what you've put except the Cranie point. What did he do today that makes you think he should be let go on a free?

Him & Nyatanga were clearly our best players IMO. The only mistake I can remember was a slip which can happen to anyone.

Just whenever anyone criticises him on here there never seems to be a reason other than 'he's captain, he should be sorting them out' which is ridiculous really. You could have Roy Keane as captain & you'd not get performances out of Brown, Hemmings etc
