If we are all honest and look at this objectively we are more or less relegated. Obviously this isn't mathematically confirmed yet but after another inept performance yesterday I just can't see where the points are coming from. In reality any team that starts the season with a squad containing Dawson, Dagnall, Etuhu, Wiseman, McNulty, Alnwick, Mvoto and Tom Kennedy (4k a week?!? Should be locked up for robbery) deserves to struggle. These players don't have now and never have had the required quality to play in The Championship week in week out. When Flitcroft was given money, instead of spending It wisely on proven performers he amassed a massive squad of crap. So now we get Danny. Struggling to balance the books of an inherited squad that's no good. Unfortunately he's supplemented it with more rubbish. Now, he doesn't take all the blame here. I thought the lads he signed, Frimpong and Lawrence in particular would do the business. The problem is these players aren't fully fit or lacking in attitude. That's not down to the manager, the players need to take a look in the mirror and take responsibility! What is down to the manager is persisting in playing Kennedy, who if we are all honest has cost us far more than anyone else this season. The thing is, if we had the chance, I think we'd bomb these charlatan chancer out of the club but due to the 'old mates act' 2013 Flitcroft in his haste to sort his friend out gave this clown a 2 year deal, so we are stuck with him. Danny, Barnsley Football Club, Ben Mansford or the Easter Bunny, please do the right thing. Put the kids in now! 10 games left (or whatever it is) to toughen up Patterson, Oates, RNL, Digby, Rose, Kilburn et al for next season in League One. We've got these games to build our future when all these 'Championship Players' demand moves due to the relegation they created. Let's not worry about how crap Hill was, about how crap Flitcroft was this season, about how we should have given Robins the money these two morons frittered away. Let's look forward. Let's get the fans back on side and play lads that give a sh*t and most of all let's put some pride back into our beloved shirt.
until its a mathematical impossibility to stay up the kids will not be given the chance you asking for them, and TBH that makes sense.
absolutely, and also Danny has HIS choice of assistant. I agree with blooding the youngsters when the seasons aim is safe or indeed lost no matter what that aim was. But certainly not before such events take place.
