    So Maurice Watkins former director of Manchester United no less and renound sports lawyer plus ex football players agent Ben Mansford have (due to our need for experienced players) opened up their vast contacts folder and found us another youngster on loan and trialists Hugo Colace and Adam Hamill (I'm sure I've heard of those two before) Ben must have opened the old recruitment spreadsheet by mistake. Tell me again how these two use their alledged wonderful contacts within the game to assist Barnsley FC cause I'm struggling to see it on this evidence. Its two weeks since the head coach stated we needed experience and who have the recruitment team come up with
    1, Another youngster on loan in Isgrove
    2, A player on trial whose hardly played for 3 years and is probably weeks if not months away from match fitness in Colace
    3, A player on trial who was drummed out of his last club for being Drunk and again is probably weeks away from match fitness in Hammill
    Somebody needs to get their finger out quickly and at least bring somebody in who may be pushing for a place by the end of the month,

    Ben wasn't here when colace and hammill were, Maurice wasn't either. Neither was Lee Johnson.
    Makes you wonder who has been around all that time to be the connection and possible player finder

    It's a good point.

    Ben has seen us drop a division since he got the job.

    He may see us drop another.

    Whilst he ought to be blameless for what happens on the pitch, nothing can absolve him from the fact that you can't buy a miniature short at half time.

    He cannot be forgiven for the absence of my half time whisky.

    Hic.
