I didn't pretend he had. I said he can put out an experienced starting 11 of players who finished in the playoffs last year. Collins Brittain sibbick helik williams Palmer styles Freiser Woodrow Adeboyejo That side is vastly more experienced than the side that STENDEL had. Nobody mentioned it being as strong as Vals
If I was going to have any head coach back from the past 10 years at this moment in time it would be Johnson.
At the end, Stendel set the team up (tactically) to lose on purpose to prove a point to those upstairs. Great guy? Yes. Decent manager? Yes. But in pro football, you cannot behave as he did in those latter months/weeks.
Not for me , it never seems to work when you go back & we have previous with Clarke & Wilson , plus all this speculation is really pointless considering our owners seem oblivious to our current managers failings
I'd love him back, his character was brilliant and he is the sort of person that the fans can get behind. His team played the best stuff I have seen I Barnsley side play too. Some of the goals were superb
To cheer myself up, I watched our 4-0 away thrashing of Peterborough last night. How many of Stendels' team have gone on to greater things? Adam Davies, Kenny Dougall, Brad Potts, Jacob Brown, Ethan Pinnock, Liam Lindsay. All would walk into this team now and how well we played in that game - direct, pressing to win back possession, great movement off the ball, technicaly good on it. How we have fallen!!
