O'Grady makes Barnsley loan switch

Sometimes I can't help but feel Chris has been persecuted by the management at SWFC, that not only have his best efforts been unappreciated but his regular omission from team duties has been a deliberate attempt to undervalue his contribution to the squad. Would it surprise anyone that he might feel he has a point to prove or that he's likely to play out of his skin over the coming weeks in order to prove his doubters wrong? So why in hell's name loan him out to a local rival currently in the same position as ourselves, scrapping for survival? I won't blame CO'G if he bags 6,8,10 goals between now and the season's end because given the chance he'd have been more than happy to do the same for us.

We've not got much back up if Lita gets injured, senseless D.J, can't see us signing anybody tonight I've just seen D.J at Leicester match.

Is that true? DJ at Leicester, I mean. Maybe he's lined up an 11th hour double swoop for Ben Marshall & Danny Batth! Sorry? No, it's okay nurse I'll come quietly...

What a shambolic state of affairs. This guy gives 110% every time he pulls a shirt on. OK so he's not the most talented but the effort was always there & it surely rubs off on others around him. What with this decision and sending Rodri back, neither were given a proper chance to shine and one of our best performances against Birmingham featured these two up front. According to DJ we needed to allow players to leave in order to free up some cash for new arrivals before the window closed What happened there then? I suppose we are now waiting for the Emergency Loan window to open. I've come to the realisation every time DJ opens his mouth the truth does not come out......

Its been a funny season so far with a good start, then complete rubbish and now things are picking up. I have been as critical of DJ as most others. However my confidence in him is returning and think I can see what he is trying to do. OK he has made some howlers (Taylor, Mattock) in the transfer market but has also been a bit unlucky too. For me the biggest mistakes have been trying to change things too quickly, building a team inexplicably around Barkley and sticking with Bothroyd. this has been exasperated by the players he has bought with any quality (Corry, Mcabe) being too young to bed in straight away. Any decent manager starts at the back and works forward IMO. We now have a good defence and midfield but the front line needs working on and is a work in progress. Whilst i may like or appreciate what certain players have done honestly don't believe that any players we have sold or sent on loan are that good. Also if needs to release players to get more in then he has no option OK he has brought in some players (pecnik, rodri and mcquire) who haven't played but he will have made his mind up on the training ground. I am quietly optimistic at the moment and am looking forward to next year. There is no way we will go own, and if there were 7 or 8 more games than there is who knows we could have been knocking on the play off door. I feel it has been a good consolidation year so far.

more or less agree with both of the above comments. ultimately I do believe that this guy does have what it takes and whilst it may be a bit rocky whilst he moves things around we are heading in the right direction. i have maintained this stance all along and as I have said before at some stage we needed to back one of our many managers!
