I'm not bothered about Barnes either but the point is the man that matters, McDermott, wanted him, and wasn't supported. Or it could all be bollocks and McDermott wasn't interested at all. Maybe Hay's just bullshitting.
thats what I mean they haven't supported the manager (although I get the impression the new consortium wanting to back him its just GFHs daddy who didn't want to)
Other people think he's **** but I think he would be a good foil for Ross, Noel and Smith where a risk thats backfired imo but they where cheap we need someone to step up the the plate and claim that spot alongside Ross and I think Barnes would have done that
352 will also work with 3 centre backs as long as the wide men in the 5 tackle back. This would stop us getting over run in midfield. 442 or 4321 are the way to go though.
