why does he not get anything said about him. Because he's a Barnsley lad like I hear so much ? It's football this isn't a game of friendly people and so be it people. It's about passion and most of all it's about winning Now I haven't wrote this to wing people up, I 24 hours ago never had any intention of posting on here again but so be it. I'm fed with it. Now people will just blame selling players. Take out the set pieces the teams no weaker that it was in January for me. Hourihane better than James. Winnallbetter than Bradshaw. Bred better than Janko? Not for me. For me the recruitment wasn't right last summer and it should send the alarm bells going at oakwell that we need a CEO and a recruitment team setting up asap. To not replace fletcher like I said to many people was a disaster and to miss the opportunity twice with the January transfer window wasn't good enough. PH will have given the green light on the deal to let Payne go. Yet he didn't make sure he got a player in 100 percent when we already needed one. Anyone that made the trip to Wigan on the Thursday night would have been made to watch the weaknesses in our squad. We can't just keep the ball at the back and it puts so much pressure on us when the team either sit back or really go after us. When it's a open free game we get away with it. We also let so many goals in it's a joke. At Wigan he let the game drift on and okay e were in front but it was that for me that lost us the game. People can blame this and that but ultimately we the fans and the players/management after look at ourselves. It's something I noticed last season too when we got away with it when chances were needed. Sort bale away for example. People are often quick to blame Moncur for that went off in the summer but it's not that cut and dry I'd imagine and PH should take some of the blame also. Anyway, this isn't me been a wind up but a fan that's got an opinion and very passionate about bfc
Winnall's goals and Hourihane's set pieces meant we could afford to concede more. With those two now gone, more often than not if we concede we don't win.
Not much gets said about him because he's won a cup, stormed into and won the playoffs and secured safety in this league with our best points total in about 15 years, all on a budget of ten bob
Of course he's part of it. He sells the club to the player. Ben mansford who we also massively miss used to say it all the time about LJ
Not sure this is a HT post. No doubt site admin will advise. it is sufficiently bizarre and tbh summat that we ought to welcome.
What would you do as a manager when money turns the owners head? What would you do when you are told that you have to work within certain parameters when signing players? And i mean what would YOU do?
A ban should mean banned or it makes a mockery of it. Especially as many in the past are still banned after doing much less. Agree about needing members though. How quiet it's gone with so many leaving since we lost our board unique look probably played a part in return number whatever it is.
You think he didn't want to sign Morsey, for example? He identifies targets (to a lesser or greater extent depending on which version of our transfer policy you believe) but it's up to the board to deliver the signing from there on. Sure he's got a part to play in selling the club, but the board are the ones who are supposed to deliver the signings.
This is the type of post that puts people off posting. Why do you need to be so aggressive? Are we not all on the same side? We all have the same clue about everything in life . Which is nothing.
This. Not much gets said about Hecky because he's a damn good manager and has done a reyt job this year.
I wasn't being aggressive. I was asking him what he would do. What can you do when your boss sells your players and puts restrictions on your recruitment?
I'm not just blaming him but it's Paul coming out with the statements of not trusting the younger players like they could do any worse and at the start of Feb of how he's pleased with the team. Also tell me how he wasn't at blame for letting Payne leave
The only criticism I can level at Paul heckingbottom is that he should have seen the writing on the wall in January and gone to a club that felt able to financially support his proven ability.
Payne is not good enough. Unless i have missed something he's not the messiah and his absence is not the reason we are struggling.
