    I’m not his biggest fan but like when any of our players leaves there’s the question of who is going to replace them? And will they be replaced?

    If you’re asking me O’Keeffe, De Gevigney or Bland to play right back then I’m picking O’Keeffe everytime. If we’ve got a natural right back who’s decent to come in then it’s a different story.

    "Flatter to deceive" means something or someone appears better or more promising than they actually are, ultimately leading to disappointment. It suggests a deceptive initial impression that doesn't hold up under closer scrutiny or over time.
    Here's a more detailed breakdown:
    • Appearance vs. Reality:
      The phrase highlights a discrepancy between how something initially appears and its true nature or potential.
    • Initial Promise:

    Footballs funny be honest, I think he's really lazy. The amount of times he got caught up field and didn't run back, costing us a goal, will be double figures

    Crikey. They don’t like us much do they.

    I do love their, ‘I dont care what they say’ attitude though. They might regret such attitude and comments when he’s breezed past for the 3rd time in the first half against ‘insert team here’ and he’s stopped running.

    Enjoy lads.

    Love how they are making an announcement of it at 3, but someone has already posted a link to the article that doesn't appear. All very apt with doing a deal with us.

    He will still have a year left on his contract with us but it's concerning it's another player that doesn't fit in to what Conor is trying to do, that we cannot get rid of for good.

    @YT will be pleased though because he was only on about a number 2 earlier.

    "O'Keeffe boosts defensive options"

    I beg to differ.

    Pleased we've got him out for 12 months. I suspect we'll have to do the same in 12 months time til his contract expires. Though in 12 months time, you never know who out head coach might be!

    Desperately need a right back now!

    Stockport don’t think much of us do they? Dear me.

    “I think the most important thing to remember through all of this is that Barnsley’s fanbase are, for the most part, unpleasant people, bitter b*stards.

    The kind of bitter you expect to see from a jilted ex-girlfriend (or boyfriend) who believes she (or he) should still be playing in the championship even though she (or he) finished outside of the league one playoffs last season.”
