Description of issue
Managing Barnsley with the Real world game option towards the end of the summer transfer window I noticed that my captain Jordan Williams was unhappy and loads of the squad supported him, which bemused me as nobody had come to me with an issue.
Clicking on his profile I quickly found out he was upset with the quality of depth in goal.
No problem he probably has a point we only had Roberts at 3.5* then Ben Killip at 1.5* and a youngster whose name I forget who isn't even 1*.
Maybe a week passes and the whole squad noq request a meeting, I promised to strengthen the goalkeeping department.
Which I did bringing in Brandon Austin from Spurs on a permanent deal. He's 2.5* current ability and 3.5* potential ability. So IMO a perfectly good backup goalkeeper for a club such as Barnsley. Very capable of playing in L1 our current league if required and has potential to get better.
This was not enough apparently and Williams decides he can no longer talk to me.
Fast forward to November and the media are saying I've lost the dressing room (laughable as we are top of the league having not lost a game at that point), so I look at the dynamics and yep its the good old I didn't strengthen the goalie department issue thats the cause, even though I did.
I'd chalk this up to bad luck but I've seen about 10 people on reddit and in the feedback thread complaining about this exact same issue. Exact same entire squad unhappy about the squad depth without anyone making a complaint then strengthening the squad and they are still upset.
