What happened wi Barton over at the Govan stand? Ball went out for a throw in and seen a section shouting at him.

K.A.I 36,183 Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 See what the major frustration is - we all accept that a midfield 3 of Barton, Rossiter and Halliday doesn't work as they cancel each other out - but we all said the same thing before Dundee and before today. So it's not being fickle or with the benefit of hindsight. If we can see it, why can't the manager? I don't really care what he see's in training it's what fits right on the pitch surely.

Both deserve their starting slots Barton has done fuck all since he arrived. He is a. Luxury we can't afford . Krankjier is a different class and when fully fit will be superb. Only my opinion but holt is a far better player than barton Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ForeverAndEver 70,939 Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 Should be dropped for Friday. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liam_RFC 238 Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 Barton gives 100% the full 90 mins he seems to slow the midfield down but hopefully once windass is back or even holt gets a chance instead of Halliday the midfield will Start performing better Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 I think he's a great player, can read a game.well and finds his target more times than most. Tbh I don't need to see some quote from him on twitter or fb every game but if that's what he wants to do that's upto him. I think he's a quality player and I'm glad we signed him Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pcbear 10,913 Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 If he is not doing the business he should be dropped the same as any other player. maybe wants to back off the tweeting a bit and let his football do the talking. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Number5 2,096 Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016  He's basically nowhere near giving us the level of performance we were all expecting. I was hoping for a far better start from him. He hasn't controlled any game yet, hopefully he'll improve, otherwise would be massively disappointed if this is the level we can expect every week.

If anything krancjar is a luxury- tries hard and has the odd moment of brilliance but I'm beginning to think he is hamstringing our midfield more than he's improving it with his lack of energy. Hopefully he'll prove me wrong when he's fully fit but atm its not working out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I thought in the Burnley game when he was used in the holding role he looked a class above any other player we have. For me this is when he's at his best, sitting back spraying the passes around and breaking up play.  However, when he gets played with rossiter, he plays in a far more advanced role where he is unable to use his fantastic passing range and is forced to dribble with the ball in tight areas which is not his strong point! Like alot of other people, I do not think we should be playing Barton and rossiter together while we're playing a 433 system. Totally agree. Had a poor first half yesterday, like a few others tbh, but excellent second half the way he was driving everyone on. Just what we needed. He's still not at 100% yet, so a lot more to come from him, which is good for us. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loyal Bear 72 363 Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 Can't afford to drop Barton as he is still working towards full fitness and he does more than a lot are giving him credit for. When Barton has been poor so have most of the team. Give him a chance to get fit and up to speed. There is no denying his ability. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dietspam 733 Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 I thought he was great in the second half yesterday. Trouble is we are only playing well one half each game. Hamilton and Motherwell we picked it up in the second half. Dundee in the first half. We need to start as we mean to go on and not rely on a roasting from the manager to get us in gear.

KingKirk 25,461 Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 massive myth on here about the ability of holt last year was his level I wouldn't be surprised if he's punted shortly. If he's in our team ahead of the midfielder's we have brought in then we are weaker for it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
