Having read numerous post on who and where the blame lies for our present plight, one thing we all have in common is ....we are hurting inside and many are looking to vent their anger at who they feel is respnsible. Collectively the players the previous management the board past and present and not forgetting Patrick or Daniel have all been slated in some way or another. Theres even been talk that we should accept relegation re stock and build for the future, some going as far as saying the we would be better off in the lower division at least we would be able to challenge for promotion and have something to cheer about ? You couldnt make it up lol. Before Maurice and Ben came in we were being run like a mickey mouse outfit, and that conference clubs were better run than BFC not my words but the words of a previous manager who i had dealings with durring his short time at Oakwell. Nothing changed until Ben and Marice came in and yes the Don was guilty for a lot of the problems in my oppinion. Im not saying that i have all if any of the answers nor am i privey to whats taking place at Oakwell but i do believe from what ive seen is that Ben is trying his hardest to turn the club around and lay the foundations for a secure financial future along with Maurice and his many contacts. Danny wilson was brought in and straight away he had his hands tied, he couldnt bring in his own backroom team so he had no option but to work with Mickey Melon who was part of the previous management team and a big friend of flicker and who also had aspirations of landing the job himself. Not a very good start nor a very good set up for creating harmony within the ranks nor for focusing the players or the management team themselves. Unfortunately Danny hasnt got off to the start everyone who clambered for his appointment hoped and prayed he would.Up to yesterdays result we were taking baby steps in the right direction slowly gaining and closing the gap between ourselves and the trapdoor 4TH from bottoom spot. Yes the football is not great and yesterdays result was a setback but if we continue the way we were before yesterday we will be out of the bottom 3 by the end of March with a little luck. Anyone who as a intrest in body langage can tell you everything is not what the club would have you believe re-Danny and Micky ( take note how the very rarely stand side by side, Wilson arms folded on the touch line shouting orders, Melon two yards behind him most of the time leaning on the dugout, Melon talking to players sat in dugout every now and again kicks out glances around leans back on dugout) I'm not trying to stir things up other than to give my oppinion and make sense of the situation which i witness week in week out. I posted last week that i dont think theres unity in the dressing room having seen for myself the way Steele and the defense were falling out, oh to be a fly on the dressing room wall as they say. The players need to take a long look at themselves as they at times this season havent been fit to wear the shirt not only have they let the club down and the fans with their inpet performances but theyve let each other down by not trying, yes some of the dead wood as been chopped and more needs to follow before we can move forward. Certain players need to either accept Danny is incharge or come out publically and say why they are under achieving like they are.Falling out with each other on the boards isnt going to help nor is the baiting of certain players ( Dawson nor for the matter his reaction if true).Barnsleys problems are many fold going down is not the answer, whilst we are aware things are not right both on and off the pitch remember Rome wasnt built in a day ( i werent the foreman i hear one or two say ) but for once lets all agree to disagree and judge the club and especially Danny Wilson at the end of the season .By all means say whats on youre minds but leave the venom until its warranted until the end of the season.
The man who owns the train set (lol) did allow the fat controler a free hand hence the fall out with Robins.
