Davefevs Posted February 14, 2021 Report Share Posted February 14, 2021 2018/19 budget? £13m in League One, admittedly. In 17/18 in Champ, £15m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petehinton Posted February 14, 2021 Report Share Posted February 14, 2021 Barnsley are a really good side. Put us to shame with budget etc really. Cant see anything other than a Barnsley win next week. Worth noting we are bottom half now as it stands too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ray savino Posted February 14, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2021 They’ve had a few half decent managers/coaches over the last couple of seasons. Even though they’ve changed managers, whenever I’ve seen them play (mainly highlights admittedly), they still manage to play decent football considering their budget.

The right footed,short, mobile central midfielder Callum Styles. Just shows some players can adapt well. Why can't someone like Nagy do that role for us in our current situation. Wanted to watch this game but could not find it on Now TV. Barnsley have not had the injuries we have had but I still feel they are more clever than us with what they have to work with. Probably one thing they're more clever at is avoiding a crazy amount of injuries! Britton on paper looked an obvious signing, going by little clips and how MK fans talked about him. He appears to be a very hard working, fairly tall and strong wing back. Very good crosser of the ball too. Barnsley sign him for probably very cheap. We bring in an injury prone loan, who we'd only be developing for Fulham had he played more. They are a very well run club and seem to be coached very well. They actually haven't been in great form in the league but only seem to lose by the odd goal. I get the feeling that if they had a bigger budget then they'd be doing a lot better. Whenever I see them they look exciting, full of energy and well organised. Struber did an outstanding job last season and fair play replacing him with this guy now. And there’s the proof of the “German market” (Austrian in Struber’s case). Ive said for years (since 90s when I watched loads of it on my telewest box!) that the German brand of football couples technical and physical very well, that I thought there were many players who would fit in well in this country. It now appears their managers are from the same mould. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect they beat a path to Ashton's door to find out how it's done, like so many clubs do according to the man himself. Then, of course, they did the opposite.

Ska Junkie Posted February 14, 2021 Report Share Posted February 14, 2021 Barnsley look a good side don't they? The stats are interesting, shows you CAN win with minimal possession and just look at the goal attempts! Compare with... Same amount of the ball and very different stats. Depressing huh?

Wade Wilson Posted February 14, 2021 Report Share Posted February 14, 2021 I’m so annoyed with how well Barnsley are doing, Valerien Ismael was basically my number one pick to replace Lee but, no, no, how dare we be adventurous in our appointment.

cidercity1987 Posted February 14, 2021 Report Share Posted February 14, 2021 That is that then, we are officially a lower half team. If memory serves right I dont think we went as low as 13th anytime last season, only very briefly in 2018/19 and not in 2017/18. Not looking good isit.

Yeah, I follow the Austrian Bundesliga and he was in charge of LASK over there. They gave RB Salzburg a run for the title last season, in addition to doing well in Europe, surprised everyone. Had a bit of a stormy end (points deduction and sacking for training fully too early under COVID) but his teams, as we can see, play excellent football and he can work on a budget and then some.

Always interesting re-visiting pre-season predictions. Some of my top six now look wildly off Gunna pat myself on the back for this assessment of our own mob though "If we still had LJ in charge I’d probably have us finishing lower than 20th. Honestly we were abject for much of last season and by most measures and metrics we had more in common with Luton and Charlton than with the teams in the top 6. Under Holden (in a 5 game sample) we improved. Slightly. In pre-season we seem to be doing ok. Just. I’m still not expecting fireworks this term, and honestly suspect we will find ourselves flirting with the relegation positions at least once over the course of the 46 games. I expect a lower mid-table finish." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
