Worried that we will lose Sir Bobby

tinatyke · Aug 17, 2011

Bobby leaving us is simply unthinkable.

He wants to play or will consider going out on loan according to "WeareBarnsley"

What has he done wrong?

What planet is Mr Cocky on by not playing him, he hasn't even been given a chance.
He is the heart and soul of our Club.

I will seriously consider giving up if Sir Bobby is moved on or not given a chance.

I am so angry I can hardly function.
What a depressingly awful time it is now to be a Barnsley FC Fan.
We have been sold down the river big, big time.
I am angry with the Club, Management, Players, everyone connected with BFC for making me feel as bad as this!

there were 3 or 4 positions he could've played last night and improved the side

He will get his chance - No doubt about that. To be fair he played against Morecambe and was just as bad as the rest! Wiseman was ok at Forest and average versus Southampton (Maybe slightly below average, but who wasn't!) And he was poor last night ion my opinion - At fault for the first goal and his distribution was poor - He continually passed back to Foster or Edwards. But being really honest - He had very few options to pass in front of him! Our movement going forward was abysmal.

But Sir Bobby will be going no where and he will get a start soon i'm sure - And the chances are he will take it! Didn't think he did against Morecambe.

Wiseman has been the biggest disappointment for me he doesn`t seem to want get forward or play the ball forward.

When Hill was bringing in these players, that had already played under him, I was expecting them to run through brick walls for him.

Hill got no response from the Morecambe defeat and not an outstanding amount of progress last night from them.

I`m totally flummoxed at the moment.

To be fair to Wiseman, and in fact the whole defence, the passes they receive, the lack of movement in front of them and the lack of people actually wanting the ball has played them into a corner nearly every time they received the ball. I lost count of the amount of times that Wiseman got the ball last night only to find absolutely no outlet for it, so he's left with either a hopeful punt or playing it sideways/backwards. We need proper wide players and for the midfield to come looking for the ball. I don't really rate Butterfield, but at least he does look for the ball.

We have too many similar midfield players in there at the moment who have more of a holding role or are more defensive, so they are not providing the options going forward. The big problem is that we are also shipping easy goals, which suggests the defensive midfielders are not even doing their basic roles.

Middlesborough were very quick to cotton on to what we would do when we had the ball at the back and were good at closing us down and reducing the options for the man on the ball. As the man on the ball for us tended to be our defenders it became a problem, as they are not the most comfortable with the ball at the feet (hence they are defenders!) and any mistake a defender makes tends to lead to a goalscoring opportunity for the opposition. When the crowd then start audibly getting on their backs it makes them less confident and comfortable on the ball, leading to them wanting to get rid of the ball at the first opportunity.

Edwards had a stinker last night, but that aside, the defence looked a much better shape than for the previous two games. It's the midfield that needs sorting out, because a front two of Haynes and Davies, with the correct service, should be a handful for most clubs.

But to go back to the original post in this thread, Bobby could have come in anywhere across he back four or in defensive midfield yesterday and improved the team.

We just need one of Doyle and Addison in the team and two comfortable wide players, who are prepared to put the defensive work in when needed, i.e. stop playing strikers out wide and stop playing Butterfield and Perkins out wide. This may be the position we are most in need of a new recruit, although a decent link between midfield and the attack would be nice. This is the role that Butterfield or Lovre are supposed to be in the squad for.

Agree to some extent but there were a few occasions in the second half he could have gained ground down the wing but preferred to play the easy ball square in his own half to Foster. Got to be Hassell for me on Saturday.

Its like a hot potato at times that ball with no one having any composure when they get it.
