Barnsley manager Daniel Stendel has addressed Portsmouth loanee Makenzie Kirk's lack of confidence as the striker continues to experience limited playing time. The 22-year-old forward joined Barnsley on a season-long loan in July but has scored just two goals, finding himself largely relegated to substitute appearances while Barnsley sits 23rd in League One.
Kirk was introduced at half-time during Barnsley's 4-0 FA Cup victory against Aldershot, with Stendel explaining the substitution was intended to help build the forward's confidence. Kirk remains under contract at Portsmouth through the summer of 2028 after struggling for regular minutes under John Mousinho last season.
