Yorkshire Post -Queens Park Rangers v Barnsley: Robins pays Cryne thanks
MARK ROBINS has paid tribute to Barnsley owner Patrick Cryne after signing five players in just over two weeks.
Defenders Carl Dickinson and Ryan Shotton are the latest new arrivals at Oakwell – on three-month loan deals from Premier League club Stoke City – and both could figure today.
- New manager Robins has also signed former Crystal Palace winger Julian Gray, Hull City defender Nathan Doyle, and Slovenian international centre-back Suad Filekovic since replacing Simon Davey.
- "I have to thank Patrick Cryne for backing me in the transfer market," said Robins. "These are the right sort of players we need here. I also think we will get better when we have everybody available and back in with us."
- After losing his opening game in charge against Watford, Barnsley are unbeaten in three games and produced a midweek shock in the Carling Cup by beating Premier League Burnley.
- "We have only just started," stressed Robins. "Winning games builds confidence. The effort, commitment, desire and confidence was there against Burnley and that was pleasing."

- My first priority was to make sure I got home in one piece after hearing a bloke behind me in the pub utter the immortal line: "Chelsea have come down proper firmed up - tools the lot." Gulp.
- There were a few running battles - fortunately nothing on the scale of Upton Park - which I avoided by bravely chatting to a very nice policeman inside the shopping precinct. Turns out he was a Millwall fan (you don't get many of them to the pound) who was spared the decision of whether to attend the West Ham game because he happened to be on holiday. Result. ..."
