John McAtee making very good progress

John is doing extremely well at Barnsley.  9 goals in 22 matches, and some assists.

He was voted player of the month by the supporters for Nov 23 and for Dec 23.  He was also voted goal of the month for Dec 23.  He scored from 35 yards against Port Vale.

These achievements in a good team chasing a place in the Championship.

My local coffee place is run by a keen Barnsley fan.  He was lukewarm about the loan from Luton.  I said that you will appreciate what he offers and the fans will love him.

Today he said that he is a really good player.  Easily good enough for the Championship.  Steady on I said let him develop at his own pace.  There are recent rumours (refuted)  that Luton want him back this’
Month. It seems though that all parties are happy for him to remain at Barnsley.  

I am pleased for him. He always worked hard (chasing everything down) and had a good attitude.

Looks to be enjoying his football . Terrific player … imagine him and Rose for Town ….

Watched Posh v Barnsley a couple of weeks ago and he was one of the best players on the pitch. Makes a mockery of those on here claiming he wasn’t all that.

He regularly seems to stand out on the ITV highlights shows. If not scoring, he’s generally involved in the build up to most of Barnsley’s goals. Peculiar season for him last year, but there was never any doubt about his ability.

I think the most likely scenario is that Luton get relegated this season and he gets a crack at the Championship with them. What happens after that is really up to him.

I can’t wish the lad well enough.

My mate is a season ticket holder at Barnsley they absolutely love him.
I said to him i told you he was a good player, i have been over to Barnsley they have a cracking stadium.

I hope Barnsley go up a good club a good model for us to aspire to.
Develop players sell them on John Stones a classic example.

Really pleased for him. Created a lot of memories for us and has gone down in history for the pivotal role he played in our promotion.

He sacrificed quite a lot last season for the sake of us shape. Busted his gut for most of the season but was ultimately playing in a Paul Hurst side and that was no longer geared around him feeding off Ryan Taylor. I only really remember him playing particularly badly at Swindon and there were several games he didn't get the credit he deserved, in my opinion.

Really glad to see him kicking on at Barnsley. Have a mate who is a Barnsley fan and he says he's cementing himself as a fans' favourite.

Managed correctly on and off the pitch, McAtee is an incredible talent. He needs to be playing regularly, he needs freedom and he needs to feel loved.

I imagine Luton are looking to potentially use him in the Championship next season or sell him. If he moves somewhere else and struggles for the rest of the season, his valuation will reduce so it's probably best all round that he stays at Barnsley.

Good to see him doing well. Really good player, our talisman when we came up, The equaliser at Wrexham & in the PO final will always stand out but he was great that season.

Always seemed like a nice lad who had time for everyone as well.
