KACPER LOPATA DEPARTS ON LOAN Club News Barnsley Football Club can confirm that Kacper Lopata has joined Port Vale on loan until the end of the 23/24 season. Continue reading on the official site...
Hang onnnn So he hasn't been playing "due to the depth we have in defensive positions" meanwhile Jordan Williams is playing centre back and costing us goals regularly because we have no options in defence. Ok then
I really like him and his attitude has been exemplary by all accounts. I'm sure he's still in the club's long term plans. This move definitely makes sense to get him playing regularly.
How's that work then? We have just signed two centre halves, almost certainly for the first eleven then have De Gevigney plus McCart who have regularly started ahead of Lopata and Shepherd. That's four centre halves plus Williams. How is he off his head to loan out two lads who would barely get a game the rest of the season? Plus had you not noticed we now have a Director of Football. Presumably he's off his head too?
The depth in defensive positions where we are dodgy looking most games and really struggle for clean sheets?
There are two, supposedly quick, promising looking defenders ready to slot in. Why do you think we've bought them?
We were told mr Collins asks for certain types of players so why does he ask for positions we have filled unless he can get an absolute world beater
One of them is a US international. That's a decent pedigree. We don't have the money to sign world beaters.
I'm sure paying wages not to play, is a key factor also. We do have a fairly big squad of players earning wages to watch from the stands.
