    On sky this lunchtime' we'll get a chance to see how Lopata's getting on. I was speaking to a couple of lads on their fb page and they think he's been a colossus thus far.

    Always baffled me how we never really gave him a chance. Thought he was decent first dozen or so games under Collins.

    I find it strange that the manager who there has always been talk was told what to do at oakwell has left oakwell and immediately signed and regularly played the player that "he" exiled from the squad at oakwell.

    He probably thought he wasn't good enough for a promotion push at our level, but is for the level he's at now.

    Whether he’s good enough or not for us, he’s better than League 2

    I also like he has two players we were heavily linked with as well starting.

    Strangest one of all for me. But perhaps his heart wasn't/isn't at the club. Conor rarely ever mentioned him.

    Copied
    Sheffield United rejected a transfer bid from a Polish club but allowed him a permanent transfer to Southend to find first-team football as manager Paul Heckingbottom said "it became clear he didn't want to be here anymore".

    Still 2 yrs left on his contract and imo at 24 would want regular 1st team football.

    God forbid we ever end up in the bottom division again

    I can’t really knock Lopata. Just seems to want to play football.

    Had no interest in being back up at Sheff Utd & has no interest in being back up at Barnsley.

    Two for Thomas.

    They should be walking that division with the squad they have.

    Goalies thinking they're footballers. He almost got caught out earlier but it was disallowed for handball by Thomas.

    Yes but they have a chimp as manager. MK Dongs have some decent players as well.

    They've lost 3 games already. But they do have Clarke as a manager won't be his fault.
