Matty Godden

Then again you fanboy a 32 year old who puts his fingers in his ears and slags off a 22 year old newbie trying to find his feet in a new team. Get a grip.

Robins is in his element picking a really defensive side away from home. It’s an 8 0 2 formation and he’s loving it.

I remain to be convinced. Ok but not really improved us at the back or front noticeably. Tbf probably the best of the bunch

At the minute we seem weaker everywhere on the pitch compared to last season. So, early days, but I wouldn't call any of the new signings 'Excellent'. Even 'Good' is probably slightly pushing it too far.

'What they excel at' is a good question. It isn't in the air because we have quite a lot of corners and I forget they exist because they pose zero threat. Goalhanging and sniffing out goals? Nah that's Godden, they dont really seem hungry to get in the box at all. It seems to be about strength...

I have a lot of doubt Simms and particularly Wright are talented quality players. In fact it's likely Wright is out of his depth right now. Simms had a chance with Everton and was offloaded so he needs to regroup and go again but you can see at least some fight in there. Wright has already been...

Without wishing to stir the shit too much. What do we think Wright is on a week? Compared to say Godden?

Someone will have to a guesstimate thread on players wages. I should imagine some of the old squad must be very unhappy what the new boys are rumoured to be on... given they really aren't that good....

I think Robins will be more comfortable setting up for an away draw. 1:1 Godden.

Where will the goals come from?

I dont think Sheaf is currently a 'top quality' championship midfielder. He has potential but isn't there. Having said that he's the best we have and him, Allen and COH gives us a bit of much needed hope.

I mean ‘great’ is pushing it. Sheaf (and MVE for that matter) played in very average performances again Sunderland and Swansea. Masses of expectation on COH.

Can we stop with this nonsense. Gok and Hamer are talented quality players. You can help bring it out with good coaching but you can’t create talent. It a rare quantity and very hard to replace. Which is a warning to anyone who said sell for 10, 15, £20m and buy a new squad. It doesn’t work

I think the main problem this season will be lack of goals. We won’t get many out of Wright, Simms so that leaves Godden, Allen? COH?? I’m not sure we’ll get rock solid at the back either. But Robins has lots of bodies so hopefully will gradually improve it there, if he decides what his best...

‘3 big players’. I suppose it’s all relative. But theve all played in several poor team performances this year. COH is the wild card as per normal. Will be bring our strikers to life?

The majority view on the Barnsley forum seems to be that Kitching is a decent ball player but isn’t a very good defender and we way overpaid. Let's see.

We need to give Simms a proper run in the team now, full games. Allen back in. Ayari was the biggest disappointment last night. Looked completely lost. Even when he scored. I swear if it was limping wide he’d have let it!

They had talent and Wright doesn't. Is it that difficult to understand? You cant coach talent.

I think you might want to read the one before mine chief. We hear endlessly about the time it took Gok and Gus all missing the fact they are rare talented players.
