Ok i would love to see you guys do well just as we did in 2006 but this looks like its going to be quite brutal. Italy? Paraguay? Slovakia? Good God have mercy on you. I really want you guys to go through but I really strugle to see that happening. sorry


What do you think about the FourFourTwo article Barnsley Kiwis Set for World Cup?
AROUND a decade ago, five young New Zealand footballers were battling the elements in South Yorkshire and learning their trade at Barnsley.

Have your say.

he's turning 19 this year

tearing up the reserves is one thing, but playing first team is another thing altogether. we've had youngsters who excelled at reserves level, but still fail to win a contract. change of management, direction etc could place his position in jeopardy.

it's very much touch and go as to whether he will be a regular for WBA. one of our top prospects had to move on loan to Japan, and that was even when he was a regular the season previous, made his debut at 18 and played against Bayern Munich.



Your forgetting he already has a 3 year contract at WBA


:oops: :oops: He wasn't saying Wood doesn't have a contract. All he's saying is that we've had players who excel at reserve level but don't make that step up.
