Allen is as much a CM as I am a top 0.1% OF model, but he added energy and movement that I thought we were lacking. There was a huge hold in the middle for too long before he came on.
Aside from his goal i thought Palmer was poor, the 4411 didn’t suit him Eccles or Dasilva.
The Barnsley lads are just far too poor on the ball. Slow to release it. Shit underhit passes far too often. Too lackadaisical all round. Hope it can be fixed but it’s been a season and no improvement. Their whole attitude bothers me TBH. Just don’t seem arsed.
That’s exactly the problem though. It will always rely on incompetent fools (or humans as they’re known). So may as well stick with the incompetent fool on the pitch.
