Not good at barnsley I have mates that are barnsley fans and they say he started off brilliant but after the first 2/3 games he is rubbish
-
Maybe it takes a "McCann" to get the best out of him.
-
He struggled against the better full backs in league one so it's no surprise to me that he'd struggle in the Championship against even better full backs every week.

"caveat emptor " Barnsley think they have a monopoly on young talent if their cards fall badly he even could "go to jail and not collect £200"

Far too early to be making judgements - if they’re writing him off after half a dozen games where the whole team has been misfiring then more fool them. Plus if he was brilliant for 3 and rubbish ever since then he’s still been brilliant for half of their games!
-
20/21 years old. He'll come good. I remember half of our fan base still slagging him off throughout the season. He'll come good.
-
To be honest, it's probably taken him 3 games to take in the full 'magnificence' of the club that is 'Barnsley'. Now he has, the poor lad is probably thinking "WTF have I done??!?!"...we'd all have a dip in form at that point as despair sets in.
-
Clowns.
-
But that is what you get with the lad at times, great one match below average the next. The one thing that wont help him is playing then dropped, playing , dropped etc. We saw last year the benefits of sticking with the lad.
-
He could always come back to us to get his mojo back!
-
Not till January he can't
-
We ourselves strive to get into the Championship like Barnsley have done, but there is a massive difference in standard between League One and the Championship and players who can take League One by storm as Barnsley did last season cannot always cut it in the league above.
He did us well and I think we should appreciate that. I hope he gets his mojo back as long as he is not competing with us.

Competing against us more like! :)I

Let them ditch him. We’ll take him off there hands in January. 😁

Not till January he can't
we wouldn’t pay that much money for him anyway

Surely we could accommodate a loan deal......

Wilks was great for our team last season but it took him a while to get going. I think people forget he’s still a young lad learning his game and it’s a huge step up from league 1. I’m sure he’ll do a good job for them if they give Malik a chance but some people don’t have any patience and are quick to criticise a player imo . Good luck to the lad I say !! 😀⚽️

He scored in his first three games!
-
He is a top player. If his court case gets sorted out in his favour I imagine he will go to even greater heights. Must be a constant weight on his mind.

Yet another player hugely overrated by what appears to be a large proportion of our support although I'm not surprised really as he did run around occasionally and fluked the odd goal which makes him MOM material in most's eyes. The lad won't make 150 football league appearances! I was going to say 100 but he made a bit of a name for himself last year with us that should see at least a further 2 clubs prepared to take a punt on him after he leaves Barnsley.
-
Well RR I for one enjoyed watching him play for us. He had a few off games but to say ‘hugely overrated ‘ is somewhat harsh.
-
He did very well for us I don’t see how anyone can question that, he was hit and miss at times and very frustrating and can imagine him struggling against better players saying that I would have him Back with us straight away

Yeah, that sledgehammer left foot of his certainly "fluked" the odd goal.
-
I am struggling to think of any of his 15 goals that were flukes.

Fluked the odd goal. Are you serious with that remark?
Come on, were you watching any games last season?
He terrorised many defences, they couldn’t stop him without fouling him.
Bet you would love to have a go at marking him.
Good luck.

Maybe he only went to the games that he had off days, but it is his view personally I loved watching him play as he entertained and it was a sad day when he went Bach and sugned for the Dingles

Mozart is only appreciated truly when the artist is gone.

Knowing the Dingles track record they'll probably put him on the Liszt.

Always new those dingles were the enemy. They are Germans are they. Wish someone had told me.
Traitor Wilks. That’s treason and a court martial. ( forget the court case )
I am kidding just in case someone goes all politically correct on me.
-
Some laughable opinions on Mallik here. I am convinced some people go to games and stare at the back wall or something based on their apparently informed views on the players.
Hes already halfway to that 150 league appearances, by the way.

Yet another hugely overrated opinion.....lol....just my opinion on your opinion

Is this the guy who said Brian Stock couldn't pass a ball? I'd say it's a troll but you never know with Rovers fans.
-
Don’t feed the troll. Or get him wet. Bad stuff happens.
-
The thing with Malik is u need to play 4-3-3- otherwise he is wasted
-

He’s a bit out of tune.
-

Maybe he's trolling because part of him never gets wet.
-
He did more good things than he did bad for us, players like Wilks will always frustrate at times and that's just because of how he plays.
When he turns up and drives at defenders he is a real nuisance though and he's clearly a big prospect.
The only way he won't make 150 appearances in the league is if he goes to prison in the summer, his talent if not will almost certainly mean he goes onto have a decent career.

I think your Barnsley mates might be in the minority, heard the complete opposite - Stendel even came out and thanked Barnsley fans for getting behind the young team even though it wasn't going for them on the radio. They've flogged £25m of young talent in recent seasons - they'll know what they're doing with this lot it just takes time with a young team.

Jim, everyone realises you're a Barnsley fan. Just come out and say it, it's not illegal.

The whole squad is still adjusting to the higher level and the fact we have so many new recruits is a major factor .
I've seen enough of Mallik to know he's a very good player and will improve given time , we've seen bits and bobs , he ran the Fulham defence ragged on the opening day of the season and I mean ragged , the lad was unplayable .
The vast majority of Tykes understand this given our model and its hardly the first time in recent years we've found ourselves watching a youthful new squad .
We weren't that great for the first half of last season with rather less new recruits but the difference was we ground out wins and kept ourselves in touch , we were 7th entering the first week of December and trailed leaders Pompey by 12 points , look how that finished up for them .
Long season and I feel we will improve as the season progresses , Cauley Woodrow's absence through injury these last 3 games have been a massive loss and Mallik's missed him immensely , absolute quality is Woodrow .
Hopefully he's back tomorrow against those numb skulls from up the M1 .
-
The think with Wilks is that he can be w bit one dimensional and if teams double up on him he doesn’t have a plan be. Hes only young though and he will learn. If he’s left one on one with defenders he will kill them. It’s his strength for such a young player that stands out to me.

That's the thing that struck me when he made is debut against Fulham for us , his strength , the Fulham defenders were bouncing off him , in the second half they decided not to engage him physically and dropped off him where he either turned at will and popped it off or ran straight at them , their right back Christie had a nightmare against him , it was as good a debut I've seen and I've seen a few in over 50 years given it was his first start at this level and the quality of the opposition .
With his head right this lad will play in the PL , obviously not for us but he will go for seriously good money in the none too distant future .

Tyke your someone who knows a talent when you see one.
Yes it’s up to Malik now as to how badly he wants to go to the top. Having a good coach will be crucial.
Think both Stendil and DM are or would be great for his development. Can we have him back?
Although we have 2 great talents on loan in Ennis & Sterling. So you can keep him. ;)

In recent years I've seen Connor Hourihane , Alfie Mawson , Sam Winnall , James Bree and Sam Winnall lose 9 consecutive games in league one and a 10th in the FA cup at Altrincham .
They left my club for a combined fee of £18m , young players who improved over a 12 month period , they cost us £500k to acquire .
Mallik in my opinion will follow that route I feel .
Personally feel he's a snip a £1.2m .
Something to prove tomorrow lunchtime time against his former club , wouldn't surprise me to see him bang at it alongside Cauley Woodrow .
I'd pay good money for 3 points tomorrow against that lot I really would .
-
He is a snip at £1.2m if he does not go to jail. If he does, you have probably just paid what amounts to among the most expensive loan fees ever paid by a Championship club.

I think the club will have taken the due diligence when looking to sign the lad in all honesty .
I'm of the opinion that if the evidence was there to convict him then he'd be in Armley as of 18 months ago .
Seems to me the CPS haven't the solid evidence to be sure of winning the case .
Something may well change I fully appreciate that and I'm speculating here but some of Malliks acquaintances may be keeping their gobs shut with a code of silence and the CPS maybe hoping one of them cracks and playing for time .
If he is indeed found guilty I wouldn't want him here anyway but at this moment in time our justice system says he's not guilty .
I think that's important to point out , innocent till proven guilty and he's entitled to earn a living at the moment .

Padge what are yo talking about? Please explain. That’s far too complicated for me.

Mallik had a storming game today , decent performance by us against a very good Leeds team , disappointed in the result but encouraged by our performance .
Mallik was our best player today and caused Leeds all kinds of problems .
Just a slight concern about his decision making , went for goal when clear on the left when a pass to Luke Thomas would have given him a tap in and put us one up .
He'll learn ...... hopefully !! :headbang:

That's Malik. Can make poor decisions and limited sometimes with him being so predominantly left footed. If his team mates don't know what he's going to do then the opposition certainly don't.
-
He looked dangerous today and when he got the ball and ran at the Leeds defence they struggled with him, had a decent opportunity to score which he made all by himself to be honest, although he probably should have squared it.
It's great to watch when young players like Malik drive at defences and have a go though. He was brilliant for us and got better as the season went on.
I was shocked that Leeds sold him, exciting prospect and I hope he goes on to have a good career.
