WE GAMBELED ON NOT SIGNING ANYONE IN JANUARY.

Not signing cover for salec was a very poor decsion and a big gamble and it's biting us on the ar.e big time ,

we have no power upfront, is it 8/10 games now salec has missed and no sign yet of a comeback, I said all along we needed cover for this eventuality and got told by lots we don' t need cover, or bbm does not want a cover striker which was b.llocks.

Big mistake in my opinion, we looked OK for a while as the false 9 took teams by surprise but now teams have figured out if they sit deep we struggle to break them down and have no plan b without Salech, I did say it would come back to bite us on the ass I just hope it's not at the cost of promotion

Tan would not put any money in and BBM had to accept that.

Let’s hope it does not haunt us.

The club knew it was a long term injury from the get go. No funds from Tan is my take on it.

Most fans didn’t want signings anyway everyone could see we needed another option,bbm clear doesn’t rate Robinson either

24th January was the stockport game and as you say strechered off knowing it was a long term injury we should have covered with a new striker.

Why most fans did not want cover if salec got injured baffled me .

Have a good look at the league table. Have a look at how many we've scored since Salech got hurt. 9 points clear with a huge goal difference. January isn't the time to get a striker unless it real is the right one. BBM just needs to stop playing Rubin and Kellyman together and we'll be fine

No sign of a comeback? He's in light training, full training very soon.

Plus it seems weird to have a post like this, we're nine points clear of third with ten games to go. Not the other way around.

You would be saying the same if we was 1 point clear of Bolton and with them to play still ned

We need signing that's thats a fact to make sure we get over the line without this turn of results it would have helped in my opinion. But BBM was not backed despite what he's allowed to say I'm sure of this.

I wouldn't because the relevence isn't as big.

I have no idea whether BBM was offered funds for a striker or not, but there's no point complaining about the window because it's been and gone.

The fact that we're nine points clear with ten to go is we have plenty of points to play with. So despite being disappointed tonight, it's not a hugely costly dropped two points.

One month ago we was 4 points clear on Lincoln now we are 4 behind them . We needed players in before the end of the window for sure. Some have run out of steam I'd say and I can honestly say BBM has no other formation or tactics change in him for some reason as it's been the same all season and some teams have clocked it. But let's hope we get across the line somehow starting at Exeter

So last 10 league games we are 4th with 2nd best goal difference. We’re not missing salech. We playing colwill. There is a difference. I know it don’t fit you agenda but it’s the truth. We were coping fine without salech when colwill was injured.

He has missed 10 games and will probably miss another 4 but you always said we don' t need cover i said different, i would have liked another salec in place to cover these 10 games just incase he got injured and to make sure we get over the line,
we looked very poor upfront again 4 points from 12 but yeah no worries.

Every team has injuries; it's one of those things. BBM didn't want anymore players. He was finding it hard enough to give game time with the players we have. We've lost three of our best players (Salech, RC, DL) for a large portion of the season and are still on track. We are nine points clear with a better goal difference, averaging over two points per game and have a relatively easy run-in.

Last night wasn't great, but one point away, three points at home, and up we go, comfortably spending no money and improving our young players, ready for the Championship.

Bet you had this one ready and waiting to go.

A few days ago, the messaging was that we didn't miss Salech

We definitely need a decent back up striker; but Robinson was that guy - he's just not taken to this division at all and arguably needs to leave.

Since Salechs injury, we have only failed to score in 1 game; Lincoln. I doubt we'd have scored against them with 3 Salech's that day.

We have won 5, drawn 2, lost 2. 17 points from 9 games. 1.9 points per game. Still auto promotion rate.

We have scored 23 goals in his absence; and still #1 in goals per game in the division.

We absolutely need him back, but I'd be pointing more towards our leaky defence currently (who seem to be getting more than a fair ride at the moment!!). 7 conceded in the last 6 games needs to be tightened up! Poor goals to concede, also.

I think a few are over-reacting after a bit of adversity on this forum, recently.

Rubin scored last night.

8.4/star man on the unbiased Fotmob.

Scanlan - 6.7
Lawler - 6.5
Chambers - 6.7

Great post.

We certainly could have done with a back up target striker for Salech in the transfer window, leaving Kellyman in the position he prefers.
However, I feel our defence has shown its vulnerabilities following the first seven league matches when they only conceded 2 penalties.
Last night, we were cruising in the first 20 minutes and scored a great goal, with a few other good chances.
Then, after some poor defending again, we were pegged back to one all.
This seemed to boost Barnsley and we reverted into our shell.
Yes, plenty of possession without creating clear chances. (1 point)
In comparison, Lincoln score and it was match over! (3 points)

But we like our football and wouldn’t want to be like Lincoln apparently.

We want to win every game 3 or 4 nil is what we want.

We have forgotten who we are and where we came from.

Have you noticed the ones who are moaning about no striker being signed are also the ones who moan loudest about the debt?

Pick your lane ffs.

Neil,

The Debt was created by Tan on how badly our club is run.

Correct. As it was increased under Sam and Riddler because of how badly we have been run. Tan isn’t the only one is he?

Buying a striker in January would have added to the debt and been a waste of money.

We spent 6 million on Madine once to get out of the championship and were then stuck with a useless striker on 30k a week no one else wanted

I guess we could have signed a striker on loan, possibly a young promising premiership player.
But, we chose to make do with the players we already have.
Hopefully, this decision won't cost us dearly when we reach the end of the season.

Well said.

Love it or not, its BBM's way. Its obvious from the things he has said and his action that he has a unique or at least very modern view on squads numbers. He doesn't want players suited and booted in the lounge.
We have 3 strikers. Salech, Robinson and Davies. There is still a majority that rate Robinson (never been one) but we are paying him a lot of money. Davies is very prone to injury that must be a concern. Then we have a £20 million Chelsea kid who nobody is sure whether he is a striker or second forward.

Listening him in interviews talking about his past experienced he doesn't want players who are just there.

PS- the Man U kid still hasn't scored his first professional goal.

That's a good point, but we defend as a team, and that's another part of the hard work that Salech does that's often missed. He presses like mad upfront and comes back to help out on defensive free kicks and corners. Understood, we are not looking so strong defensively, and Trott is not the dominant force at the back that he was earlier in the season.

That said, even before BBM improves things, which he will, we are still well on track for the target of immediate automatic promotion.

Chill Bluebirds the hard work has been done; now we just have to stay together and finish the job.

Monty,

What I am finding by the usual Suspects, that the majority are not allowed to be Upset by a bad performance or result.
We are not allowed our opinion or view if it’s not saying BBM got it right even if he 100% Never.
