simon 1,741 Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 Passing could have been better at times, although he was spraying the ball around well. But I absolutley loved him getting stuck in. Needs some help right enough. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangersMedia 35,961 Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 Good tackling and some nice passes but not enough. I think if Rossiter plays it will allow Barton to get a bit further forward. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparkle 53,530 Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 I thought he improved after Nico went off. His passing was good, not scared of a tackle and I watched him trying to boss the other players and get them organised at corners - a strong character!

nik2402 1,318 Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 Was ok. Some good tackles. Can't understand how he was man of the match though. Gave the ball away too much. Tav motm for me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prso's headband 35,346 Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 Passing was woeful. Granted he put in an unspectacular shift and gave us a bit of dig but I was expecting a lot more. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.T.G 10,773 Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 Excellent performance, didn't let them relax at all and it makes a huge impact on your play if you know someone is gonna be straight on to you, forces them into a decision which can lead to them being too hasty to act Some dodgy passing 3 times I think it was but I'll file that under rustiness Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueAvenger 10,206 Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 Thought he was average today Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMB 14,167 Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 Barton was our best player today. It's the two guys in front of him that need to do their jobs properly and get forward. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmcf 34,092 Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 As others have said , some of his passing wasn't up to scratch but got better as the game went on and deserved his MotM award , though to be honest there wasn't much competition to him for it Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heshootshescores 1,904 Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 Got done for pace early doors then didn't let it happen again... Determined and inspirational, will be a fixture this year, but Krancjar... Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaiser1041 9,088 Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 He had a good last 30 mins but was the never man of the match. nice touch at the end going over to disappointed fans to give the young girl his shirt. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sassaaaa 11,406 Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 I think hes a tidy player but we were playing fast free flowing football and closing opposition down far quicker before he came . Our whole style has changed to suit him it feels. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
therightway 65 Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 Poor in the first half but much better in the second once Niko was replaced Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivybank 4,573 Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 Was average today, Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
theweebluenose 4,332 Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 A few hiccups but thought he was decent, a few games and he'll cut out those mistakes. Tav was my MOTM though, for someone who is criticised for his defensive efforts I thought he defended well today. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was pinging some great passes but messing up the easy ones. Trying too hard. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluchoo 846 Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 Bang average today and felt he slowed our game down with his sitting deep Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom0411 1,226 Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 I think Joey was definitely trying too hard today kept trying the Hollywood passes & shots. He needs to relax a wee bit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDFM 3,809 Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 Think Rossiter is better in the defensive position, I'd play him slightly further forward with a player like Windass or Forrester Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnwardsandUpwards 834 Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 Passing was very wayward at times but would have been helped if more options were made available.Far to many times players were forced either into hopeful passes or passing backwards as no one was creating space in from of them.

Oi chicken lips don't diss my Joey he sprayed some passes that had me drooling but then he did make a few shite ones.

ForeverBlue1872 463 Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 Thought he grew into the game then started playing really well. He's not fully match fit either, he'll be our best player this season. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
