Quality Players

Ahhh...Now I understand why the crowd boo players...

no i am not saying critisize the player

so spartacus you would be happy if we sold all our decent players then and by the way i do'nt boo the players

Lighten up, feller...

I can't believe that other teams only scout players on the basis that a manager has praised them, although the newspapers do get in on that game.

Praising players inspires confidence and improvements, it's a 'good' thing to do.

Players come, players go, no one is irreplacable. On current form we need have no concerns of a certain young man being snapped up!

I just want sir bobby back, cos wiseman is absolute bobbins

mcooling's comments are reminiscent of a conversation I overheard last night on my way out of Oakwell having seen a cracking match in which the team got a great result against a top half of the table side. This bloke said to his mate "What did he bring Doyley on for? He did nowt." To which his pal replied, "No - and he did nowt match before either." Not - what a great result! Or any praise for any player! This is typical Barnsley. Bloody miserable gets a lot of them.

I could do some of that positivity you heaped on The club while Robins was in charge skinner

My favourite comment was in the Mount last night...

"I'm not paying £30 to that lot..." followed a few minutes later, with...."I'm going to Leeds, though..."

£36!!!....

budred, the problem with players today is loyalty. If a player is truly happy and playing good football, there is nothing to stop them from staying at a club regardless of who comes looking. A lot of them see £££'s and chase after the money and there is nothing a manager or fans can do about it.

At least being positive about your players gives them a sense of worth and makes them feel valued. It's their decision at the end of the day whether they stay or go, not what a manager says about them.
