Until he is allowed to bring in his own players we will struggle. Half of our first team squad are not good enough for championship football and we cannot expect to compete using players from our academy all the time, perhaps we need to bring in a quality head of recruitment who can beg borrow and steal players to join us.  

Tonight just goes to show how poor our squad is half our bench wouldnt get in another championship side. Our defence, midfield and attack are all poor and need strenghtening in the Jan window or we are in trouble of going down  The commentator highlighted we have no width in the team why cant NP see this God we are missing Baker Williams and Semenyo...

Rant Over

I just cant see what Martin brings to the team

Where's Downsy? Not on Robins TV anymore?

He works as stadium announcer for home games and only does the away fixtures on Robins TV 

Barnsley fans must feel hard done by, today was all about the result not the performance The main thing is a Home Win the monkeys off our back now.

Hopefully we can get a few players back from injury soon Semenyo Baker King Williams etc and push on from here.

This Ref is missing so much for both sides

Changed your mind?

I knew this would happen :laugh: up to that point they had both been awful but hey ho i'm glad they've both woken up now

Might as well take Wiemann and Martin off give Bell and Benarous a go couldnt be any worse

My god this is awful to watch again no width no shape no attack

Dear Steve its time for you to come out and either back NP or sack him.

In January we need to bring in at least 5 championship quality players two strikers two wingers and a Tough tackling midfielder.

We could get rid of Martin, JD, Palmer, COD, Vyner and Simpson who offer us little to maybe help to fund the signings

If NP is not allowed to shape his own squad then you might as well sack him but to find a manager with his experience who would come to BS3 is unlikely so please Steve put your hand in your deep pockets

I know we've been really poor and beaten by a far better team but the Ref is such a homer its a joke

JD Martin HNM all awful today

Unlucky to lose Baker after colliding with Bents

Wow we need a player like Hugill

Was it last away game he scored the winner ?

Yes,  but he has offered very little since and we have been playing with a passenger recently. He needs a rest

How the hell does Martin keep his place

Ayman Benarous has travelled with the 1st team today maybe he will be on the bench today ?

We are still suffering from a weak squad of players that were here before Pearson took charge players like COD Palmer Martin Vyner they are all taking up wages and offer us very little (ok Martin plays often but is bang average) then we have to rely on a batch of youngsters who should really be out on loan elsewhere at the moment.  SL needs to put his hand in his pocket as we need Two Strikers Two Wide Men and a Creative Midfielder all with championship quality This buy now sell in the future at a profit policy we have is for the future, we need to sort this problem NOW

When NP can bring in who he wants/needs we can judge him then 

NP has a very tough job and yes we are doing okay ish until now but we still need to loosen the purse strings and bring in a quality striker and two wingers who can ping over crosses playing COD offers us nothing defensively at all and very little attacking wise so why keep playing him. It wasn't just CODs fault today, the loss of Williams, the poor substitute bringing Wells on for Williams instead of a natural midfielder in Bakinson Lets put this one to bed now, nothing went right and were beaten by parachute payments again its a tough league

How that was only 2-0 God only knows totally outclassed by a quality team.. Not looking good for Tuesday night with the midfield injuries we have

Agreed. But to be fair we know how far we are behind the top 5 or 6. Amazed at some of the posts in this thread - not yours. Man for man they are better players in almost every position. Sad but true. Hard to fault our effort in my opinion. 

No but i think we look shell shocked and chasing shadows. I would have brought Bakinson on for Williams not to disrupt the shape too much bringing Wells on and pushing Andi wide right hasn't hurt them at all

Totally outclassed, defence under constant pressure, weak midfield since Williams went off, Forwards arn't in the game COD has done 2 or 3 decent things but thats about all rest of half hes been anonymous Yes Bournemouth are Prem quality but it does show us how far we are behind the top 5 or 6 teams 

All sorted now Thanks Guys

Can't help I'm afraid, but wanted to wish you a good recovery.

Thanks Rob fingers x'd all went well and i will be back at BS3 in the New Year

Is there anyone able to give my elder brother (75) a lift up to the Bornemouth game from Weston super Mare or Worle areas and return after the match he will help towards fuel costs.   I have just been discharged form hospital after Cancer surgery so cannot go myself or give him a lift.

Cheers

I have never understood why so many consider Jackl to be some kind of legend. 

No doubt he about his skills but he was a lazy bugger who scored a massive 7 goals for City. Osman left him out one game and announced that ‘a few tricks and a 30yrd shot isn’t enough’

A maverick carried by the rest of the team.

 

We all go to football to be entertained and one moment of brilliance can stay in the memory forever and we will always remember Jacki

When everyone is fit at posh he doesn’t get in. He wouldn’t get in our team. You are blinded by one game. Expect this is the first time you’ve seen him play for ages!

 I am not blinded by one game as i thought he was quality when he was with us and as the EFL programme said last night he has scored 21 goals since leaving City I rate the guy
