Jackal 548 Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 needs played defensive mid over rossiter. Needs game in front of him not taking balls into feet in final 3rd with his back to goal. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's got a better engine for a more advanced role but then we may lose more creativity. We only need one CDM playing against Killie surely. Barton doesn't turn into a shite player overnight. We have to play him in his strongest position. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaudrupsPatrickBoots 13,510 Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 Best player on the park against Hamilton on the opening day but even then he was the best of a bad bunch. It's make or break for him against the tarriers IMO because he's talked himself up that much with his comments about Brown etc that if he doesn't perform on the day he's going to make himself, and us, look very stupid. Very underwhelmed by him so far. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rossiter has shown good so far and deserved his place. Joey said clearly that he sees himself as a destroyer more than a creator. It serves no one for JB to feature in an advanced role. Hard decisions need to be made. I agree with this, Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We lose an attacking player for it. With Miller playing that's the 2nd attacking player lost. Tav blows hot and cold, did ok tonight, Wallace has been rank so far. More attacking options gone. Mckay has no confidence. Playing pish. We are dross attacking due to the above. Discuss My thoughts exactly discuss Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think we would lose creativity tbh he is a very creative player and could defo play as a Box to Box type alongside a windass or Forrester type of midfielder.

Other than the thing about the Lego eater, Barton hasn't said anything football related to merit the 'He should do the talking on the pitch' nonsense. I get people expect big things from him since he was one of the best players in the championship, but he needs our players to play a part too.

Hopefully when Holt and Windass are back this all changes. True, but we will need at least one rock solid Defensive Mid who will shy out of nothing. Ian Ferguson, Bomber, Kevin Thomson type, and i can see Broony hiding for 90 minutes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gandalf the Blue 1,384 Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 No doubt he has ability, but hes shoehorned into the team. Previously his distribution was good, but tonight it was very poo. Also, hes bypassed by their attack far too easy, hardly puts a tackle in running back to goal.

jamess 3,422 Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 Probably to early to judge, but I suspected he misjudged the demands of the Scottish game, and so far he has been average at best. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wearethepeople1 3,897 Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 Joey Barton is pish folks. The penny will probably drop for most about March time when he has done fuck all apart from slow down our team, he has made a name for himself by being a mouthpiece and a dirty player, let's be honest here folks. He thought it would be a cakewalk up here and he has been found out already without any real opposition. Waste of a wage, I would drop him and play rossiter as the holding mid role. He is pish man, sooner MW realises that the better Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdybear55 72 Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 I think once it clicks we will be laughing! Got to give them time still got windass holt and crooks and waggy to come back in!

theweebluenose 4,332 Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 To be honest I don't think he's been that bad, just not very good. Far from the player he was last season and is being made to look daft for some of his cocky comments. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
