Good team Barnsley bit like us I think with their best players fit and available they are a match for most a few injuries though I think they would struggle a bit, fine lines.

 

[Barnsley]

 

[Nick]

Agent Matty James.

A lot of our fans don’t fancy your best player in the last 12 years down here pal lol

I like James

 

[Deleted member 9744]

I rate him highly and think he will prove to be an important signing.

Most on here think he was a waste of money lol

Really, dont agree with that tbh think he's more than capable, personal opinion much better than sheaf

I agree

I don’t think he’s a waste of money per se, I’m of the opinion that he’s a class player, however is likely on a significant wage, which could have been used on a better strike option than Gyorkeres

 

[Liquid Gold]

I'm not sold on James. It's a lot of money to be paying someone to do Liam Kelly's role not as well.

James came in and our form and play fell apart, Kelly came back in and we beat Brentford and run Swansea close.

It's not that he's a bad player it's just that he doesn't make the team better.

 

[SBT]

Does anyone know how much we're paying James as part of his loan deal?

 

[stevefloyd]

Kelly was out injured Sheaf had just got an injury we needed someone to fill the absence of Kelly so with James pedigree in he came to try and shore us up

And just the flip side of that Kelly played an hour in both those games in last nights game it was 1-0 when Kelly went off and Swansea never scored again when James came on

James has started 7 games for us, including Wednesday, Blues & Forest. In that time we picked up 5 points - W1 D2 L4
In Kelly's last 7 games as a starter we picked up 12 points W3 D3 L1 including beating Brentford. Make that 9 games and you get another 4 points.

As I said, James isn't a bad player but he has had 0 positive effect on our form or results so far.

I dont and I havnt seen anyone say that

@Grendel was one there was a few more saying signing James was a waste of money some saying sheaf offers more it’s on the sheaf thread @Nick feels sheaf offers more

 

[Nick]

Yeah, Sheaf does offer more in our setup. As does Kelly.

Not sure James is Barnsley's best player in the last 12 years either.

Stop begging it.

Oh dear Using my words now phaha @Barnsley you hear that this cov fan think he knows more than you about your team son

 

[shepardo01]

The title of this thread, now that is madness!

"Barnsley on a madness".... christ almighty!!

 

[Nick]

Looks like Barnsley have really gone downhill since their best player in over a decade left.

Have you ever had an opinion of your own?

Tbf you’ve gotta point there

 

[shmmeee]

I think @Barnsley was having some fun with us about James. That or Barnsley have been fucking terrible for 14 years.

Couldn’t believe the league table when I seen it last night

But do you think as a team we have played better since he joined ?

 

[Nick]

Hourihane is better than James. To name just one.

 

[Nick]

Prime Adam Hammill also.

 

[Barnsley]

Hourihane is better than James. To name just one.

love the bloke, but James is better in my opinion. Only just though now much in them. Same with Danny Drinkwater he was a good un too.

 

[Liquid Gold]

No, we've been awful during this poor run. The team has looked disjointed and without any confidence at all and that was with James in. Switch in Kelly and all of a sudden we're going forward and putting up a fight.

Some of that may be due to MR switching up his tactics but if that's because he trusts Kelly to perform the defensive side and James not then what was the point in signing him.

 

[Saddlebrains]

Because Liam Kelly is better than James

Would like to see Kelly & James play together

 

[Saddlebrains]

I wouldnt, too much of a muchness. Kelly and sheaf would work better

 

[Grendel]

like who?? most of my Cov supporting mates think he's a decent acquisition...PUSB

Results say otherwise - he’s a waste of budget
