Err... Isn't the difference that Barnsley had good players and we haven't?A little encouragement for all the doubters out there!

There are great big massive holes in our squad and real problem areas.
We have two average keepers. We have a leaky defence. We are very thin in midfield and we are shit shy up front.
Add to that, that we have next to no physicality and little experience and it just highlights how big our problems are.
Slade (Spade) has to do some really astute wheeling and dealing in January to get us into a decent side.
But is it our goalies are average or could they be better if our defence was above average ?
Maybe. Or maybe they just aren't good enough.All the things that were wrong and not working at Barnsley, hence their position and GD...a false position brought about by unmotivated players at the time. Get our lot motivated and it'll be a different story...
Well Otis...I think they're under performing. What does Venus know! Also energy, brought about by motivation, is what produces physicality. I'm hopeful....Maybe. Or maybe they just aren't good enough.
You can't make players more physical if it's not in their make up. You can't turn poor players into good players.
Guess the question is, are we underperforming or are the players just not good enough?
Venus said it was very much the latter.
Otis I really believe it's a bit of both some players aren't good enough or ready for first team football, but the rest I think with proper man management the rest could well improve by 50% or more. I said last year we need somebody who can psychologically motivate the players but as usual I got ridiculed by a fair few on hearMaybe. Or maybe they just aren't good enough.

Non of us have seen these players motivated yet....Okay..... Here's a question then.....
Who DO we think is good enough out of this squad?
McCann (but is leaving).
Sordell
Ermm.... starting to struggle a bit after that.
We have a lot of distinctly average players (Turnbull, Rose, Reid, DKE, Lameiras, RCC, Burge) and then the likes of the very inconsistent Bigi.
Willis is good enough for League One, but I think then it is a struggle to come up with names.
Good enough for what? If we're talking about good enough to just keep us up, then I think with the right management they can be good enough.Okay..... Here's a question then.....

Good enough for League One. Venus said we were not good enough for League One, so that's my question.Good enough for what? If we're talking about good enough to just keep us up, then I think with the right management they can be good enough.
Most of those players are good enough for L1 IMO if they were playing in a good well balanced team. I still think we are only short of 3 or 4 good players in the right positions to produce a team which could have made the playoffs if put together at the start of the seasonOkay.....

I repeat...what does Venus know?!!Good enough for League One. Venus said we were not good enough for League One, so that's my question.
Oh dear, then. He's still at the club and still in charge of transfers and bringing players to the club isn't he?I repeat...what does Venus know?!!
Sadly yes...but things are a helluva lot healthier than 48 hours ago....Oh dear, then. He's still at the club and still in charge of transfers and bringing players to the club isn't he?
God save our souls.
Do you want to compare their squad to ours?A little encouragement for all the doubters out there!
Do you want to compare their squad to ours?
That should take the encouragement right from you.
Daft to even attempt to compare ours to theirs.
So you're saying they had a much stronger squad... and yet were in the same position we are. What makes a stronger squad? A more successful one? So what would that make our squad if were successful? Would they suddenly become a much stronger squad? Listen I'm not setting up an argument here, but it seems unlikely to me that this time last year people were calling Barnsley a strong squad....so I'm interested to see what happens next under Slade....
Mine too Nick...but I posted it anyway...Is that a riddle? As it's done my brain in.
