I think on yesterday's performance the answer is a resounding yes! We didn't miss him one little bit, did we?
I think Burns is a more important player to us than mcphail and Kay is more than capable so we didnt miss him
I thought we'd miss him but on yesterdays display burns & kay looked pretty solid and they were winning the ball much higher on the field.
RE: yer they were, but i like mcphail too much to have him on the bench But who do u drop for McPhail to play none of the players deserve to be dropped. I have to agree though he is our most talented player
RE: exactly but No he's not! McPhail is probably our most technically accomplished player but he is lazy and doesn't contribute enough to be worthy of a place in the team. TEAM being the important word here.
RE: 5 in midfield? What and be like England trying to make a place for someone who doesn't really fit in.If you do play 5 in midfield, you still have to leave someone out. Who would it be, a forward or a defender?
RE: kay if i had to play 4 in midfield He doesnt deserve to be dropped but can we not have mcphail in the team because on his day he is one of the best players in this division
RE: it has to be 4-4-2 You have no more idea than Sven had in midweek. Thank god Ritchie seems to have developed some sense at last. McPhail is the only player at Barnsley who doesn't give at least 100% some of the time.
RE: it has to be 4-4-2 Ere ere. When you have a so called "Star Player" who isn't giving 100% it soon rubs off on the other 10 mere mortals. On Saturday we had less technical ability on the field but the enthusiasm, pride and determination more than made up for it.
