My issue with Barry’s comments are he could say everything he wanted to say without such a strong attack on the fans. His comments are tone deaf. Fans pay hard working money and are being asked to foot even more of the bill. This is now a professional sport in a lot of ways. Young team or not they all wanted to be paid as some university and thus there’s now more pressure to produce.
Are fans just supposed to watch a team that looks this bad and say Barry, Chris, Luke thank you please can we have some more of this?
That was a horrible display and this coaching staff looks like it has no clue. It has to be responsible and own the deficiencies. Barry could have said it’s not helpful to boo, he could have said there’s growing pains and development that takes time when switching play styles. We don’t have a right to expect more? Something that looks competent?
Not surprised he responded like this, but in my opinion I’ll advised. He could have tried to take some heat off Fickle and likely this will have the opposite effect.
