Re: Barnes

As much as I think a new striker is the answer, Barnes is making runs that aren't being picked up for balls through. Sometimes those runs pull defenders, sometimes with the right pass he would be through on goal. It doesn't seem to be clicking at the moment, and it may never, but IMO it would be unf...

Re: Thoughts on the Transfer Window

We are certainly signing exciting players, although relatively unproven. My concern is the lack of experience at the back, although I'd have been happy with Collins, so hopefully one or 2 of the new ones have that natural, composed ability. Biggest signing we need for me now would be a good keeper w...
