TopCat 4,511 Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 A quietly effective debut. Used his experience and organisational skills to good effect and he will only get better with more game time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rangers Lady 2,380 Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Â Once he came on Halliday moved into an attacking role we haven't seen, more speed and skill than I realised Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turnberry18 3,204 Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 We appeared to have a proper back three the other night, when we were in attack. Barton dropped deep and gave the shape of the team a great deal of balance in its shape. His passing at times was excellent. I always imagined him as more of an attacking player, but the position he played in against Annan suited us fine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brubear 2,920 Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Don't take this the wrong way as I think he will be a star for us, but I thought he was trying too hard to impress in the short time he was on and that actually detracted from what he is capable of.

King Jela 20,361 Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Slack passing but liked him keeping everybody right and chasing every ball. Desperately needs to get his fitness up, I thought he was looking a bit beefy when he came on. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blondie7 24 Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Will be good to see this team when everyone is match sharp! I liked the positions Barton got into and it will help our defence this season. I watched some of Rossiter for Eng u19s and he seems to play a similar way/role and likes a tackle. Someone like Barton will only approve his attributes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thing with Barton is its his qualities off the ball as well as on it that we're benefitting from so from that point of view he showed what's to come, even if he wasn't overly tested the communication and positioning is superb Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Waghorn is a bear (no pun intended), his physique gives him a presence compared to other strikers but doesn't slow him down or make him less mobile, he's kind of the full package in those respects. Like you were saying I'm always bemused when I hear people calling him overweight or anything similar Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I spoke about his weight what I meant was, that as a player gets older he may put a little on. I think Barton was naturally leaner in his younger years; which can be said for all of us. But, he is still in great shape. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, he is still in great shape. the fact he can run and shout at people at the same time shows a level of fitness. I lost that ability age 33. It was one or the other after that. Then i couldn't be bothered running to congratulate a team mate when he scored. Then i couldn't be bothered running. Then i took up golf.

Any idea what is happening with shirt sales mate? Might just need to get that and wear it to games, might even take up jogging just to wear it I mean in relation to the fat tracky salesman as I'd rather leave it if it means he pockets most of the cash.
