But he wasn't shocking when he played matches before his injury, so I'm hoping Collins gives him a chance.
I thought Kasper really looked the part to begin with, but the injury really seems to have ruined all the momentum he'd built up. It does make us wonder though why he can't get regular starts again now, if he's back to full fitness.
The only time I’ve seen him is when he came on against Peterborough. The defence looked a bit more solid when he came on, but his lack of mobility looked concerning. I know you can be a good defender without pace but he made moving look difficult. That said, Shepherd isn’t ready for an extended run in the team, and Williams should be at wing back, so difficult to see why Loparta can’t get a game.
I’d send Lopata out on loan because clearly Collins doesn’t fancy him and try to bring in Mattie Pollock from Watford.
Let's be reyt. Should send every defender at the club from top to bottom except shepherd, mccart, MDG and pines because they are all so badly thought of that the manager claims hes pretty much forced to play williams there against his will. No point keeping them on the books really.
I hope he starts. He was on the bench against Bolton and Collins said he was "ahead of schedule" so hopefully we see him at least come off the bench against Leyton Orient
We get informed the U21 game today is postponed but not told about this game, yet some seem to know. Why?
In this Chronicle article, it confirms today's friendly. https://www.barnsleychronicle.com/article/27312/collins-values-keeping-stars-above-extra-signings " Pines was on the bench for Saturday’s draw at Bolton Wanderers. There were no other centre-back options after Kacper Lopata and Jack Shepherd were loaned out on deadline day. Pines is now expected to play in a friendly at home against Notts County tomorrow at 1pm. "
Thanks for that. Left hand and right hand not talking to each other again. This is why our comm's get criticised. I was previously informed by the club about the U21 game being on today and was going to go and watch. I then get informed by email today that the U21 game is off but there is no mention of the friendly., so I stay at home. If its in the Chron, they could surely have put the details in the match postponed email. When are they going to get their act together?
