I would never boo any Sky Blue player whatever inept performance they might have put in. However we do as fans expect every player to put in 100% effort on the pitch. Bardon has not as yet displayed any sort of commitment and failed to show what potential he may have to us fans which doesn't endear him to the majority of the supporters.
In my opinion the ball is firmly in Barton's court if he wants to become a fan's favourite.

Murphy 10 -MOTM without a doubt. Without him, we would have been thrashed. What a save!
Christie 7 - Great return, great attacking play. Didn't see much of the defensive side cus the dugouts were in the way
Webster 4 - Defending was poor from what I saw. We gave them too much space, we were lucky we had Joe in goal
Clarke 5 - Was at fault for the goal but did well towards the end
Adams 3 - Woeful, worst I have seen him play
Baker 7 - I knew he would make a difference. I still say the 3rd goal was his
Barton 6 - Solid, but nothing special
Thomas 6 - Tried his best but again, nothing special
Moussa 5 - Kept quiet most of the game
Clarke 2 - No effort at all. In a game where we needed him to be at his best, he just didn't look interested
Wilson 7 - Great reactions for the 1st goal but should have had more
We didn't deserve the win on Friday. Wimbledon were the better team and should have buried their chances, but thanks to the keeper, we went thru. In the FA Cup, you need passion, skill, talent and a little bit of luck, and luck was on our side

You give leon a two for no effort. He needs service, he's not gonna run around like a headless chicken. That's not how he plays, give him service and he'll score

Fleck was exactly the same last season. Barton can be properly judged after a run in the side. Fleck would have found it difficult Friday too.

I agree, yes Fleck is the player at the minute. But Barton has been through a tough time injury etc., Barton needs games, but it is down to him to earn them.
I also don't think it is an either or situation.

In fairness to Barton maybe that horrific injury he suffered prior to him joining us has affected him. Seem to remember Liverpool sniffing around poised with a sizeable bid prior his injury. Let's hope that he can put it behind him and show us his true potential as he is going to be needed as the season progresses.

That's a bit of an urban myth.
Paper talk about a potential bid - feb 2011 http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/fo...tons-Adam-Barton-numerous-scouting-trips.html
Adam Barton injury fen 2012:
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2106800/Adam-Barton-injured-rest-season.html
They had 2 transfer windows - Summer 2011 and Jan 2012 to sign him before his injury. They could've also took a cheap punt last summer for fraction of the price quoted in the original article which would have been pocket change to them.

I thought Barton did ok, he was trying to slot into a team he's not been part of that play high tempo passing/pressing football so it was not gonna be easy to walk in the team. Add to that it's an FA cup tie away, I think he did alright. Wimbledon pressed us well and stifled us first half but they were never gonna be able to keep that tempo up and when they started to tire, Barton looked better on the ball. That said, no one played too well first half apart from Murphy. Thought Moussa didn't play that well apart from the assist, just one of them games were nothing worked for him.

I thought everyone was fairly poor, apart from Murphy who played a blinder!
Although the team played poorly, everytime we did attack there was a feeling that something could come of it, something that hasn't been there for years (apart from the beginning of last season)!

He had chances to win the ball or at least put in a challenge and he just stood there. He didn't make any effort at all. Great player but can be VERY lazy

Did you see the replay of Wilson's goal from behind the goal? As Christie's cross got to the keeper, Clarke turned and put his head in his hands but Wilson followed it in and got his goal.

To me, Leon didn't look good at all. Different people have different protrayels of his performance but from where I was sitting, he didn't impress me

He's a lazy fucker no doubt, but he's scored 11 in 15. You don't argue with that.

Nope, cant argue with that, but on Friday night, Joe looked more likely to score

Totally agree, you can forgive the laziness for the goal scoring ability.
It was a similar thing with Micky Quinn.....what a golascorer, although I think his lack of running was for other reasons than Leons!

Agreed, he frustrates the hell out of me. But as I said, while he's scoring he's allowed. If the goals dry up...

It took me a long time to respect him as a player. When he scored against us for Scunthorpe he seemed very cocky and arrogant, so when we signed him as Goldie's replacement. He looked very lazy and uninterested to start with but he won me around thru his goals. He's scoring but he's a VERY frustrating player

Murphy - 9 (MOM, kept us in the game so often with some wonderful saves)
Adams - 6 (Was let down by Moussa, Moussa left Adams with no cover for the first 25 minutes, eventually got the hang of his man)
J Clarke - 5.5 (Was pretty good for the most of the game, one poor pass let his rating dip under 6, although that's the way the manager wants him to play)
Webster - 6.5 (Made some decent tackles in the first half, but poor marking for Wombles' goal, he lacked the yard in pace and it cost us)
Christie - 6.5 (Did well on his return, I think as his match sharpness comes back Christie will look the player he did before his injury.)
Moussa - 6 (Got one assist, but defensively as a winger, Moussa left Adams exposed to being doubled up, finally sorted himself out after Pressley talked to him during an injury break and once the SBA got into Porter.)
Barton - 6 (I was expecting a little more from Adam, but he has been struggling most of the time this season with a persistent knee problem, plus he has been second fiddle and rightly so to Fleck, on the night his passing was pretty good, but weak in a challenge)
Thomas - 6.5 (Conor was his industrial self on the pitch, his passing was a bit astray at times, but sharpened up in the second half and played the ball better.)
Baker - 7.5 (I marked El Capitano down simply for his first half performance, Second half Baker leaqd by example but I was annoyed, especially at deliveries from Corner's, which seems to be constant feature this season, however good goal and dominated "KENNEDY" with Christie second half.)
L Clarke - 5.5 (Leon didn't really do anything special in the game, his style is relaxed and we all know that, but I do think he could put himself about a bit more in the air for the size of Leon he seems tentative, in fairness did chase down from the front.)
Callum - 7 (Callum chased all night, service wasn't great but he made his own chances, followed up well for the goal and hit the post as well)
All in all not a bad night, sometimes you have to win ugly and although we didn't play well in the first half, Wombles' goal sparked us into life. In fairness to AFC Wimbledon they rose to the occasion of the fixture and I think we lacked the pressence of John Fleck.

He's scored 30 goals in 40 games -- he has the best scoring ratio of any player over that period in the country
Yet on SBT the knowledgable decide to criticise. Perhaps there is some substance to the theory regarding the positive atmosphere at Sixfields.
Edited the sentence for you there. Although I have to say I agree with everything else u have said.

I like Leon and his Goalscoring record for us shows itself to be very good (25 games and 19 Goals), personally for the size of Leon I think he could get stuck in more, but Leon does defend from the front well, get the goals and gets himself in the right positions. For a striker you can't argue with his record since joining us, doesn't deserve stick on here either.
TrueSkyBlueLiam
Member
For his size, he should be a bigger aerial threat. The only large players we have are Webster and Leon, maybe Thomas, so he needs to get stuck in more. When Wilson scored, Leon turned away and put his head in his hands, while Wilson stayed alert and scored. You cant argue with his record but he is quite lazy and needs to get stuck in more in the midfield and get his head on the ball
RoboCCFC90

Maybe so but a strikers job primarily is to get goals as long as Leon and Callum keep banging them in I don't care if he looks relaxed.
TrueSkyBlueLiam
Member
Yep, you cant argue with the amount goals he and Callum and banged in

Barton's game is not about tackling it's all about setting up chances for the strikers. Given more game time you will see his sharpness return and his passing game will shine. Where I live I'am surrounded by PNE fans and they all tell the same story and where very sad to see him depart.

I wont be holding my breath Fred! I believe that the serious injury he sustained prior to him joining us may have had a lasting effect but shouldn't affect his ability to at least make an attempt to head the ball when it's remotely in his vicinity.

oh for fuck sake theres always something wrong
if we had messi it would be,i like his skills but hes doesnt get stuck in enough
if we had ronaldo, i love his goals but he strikes me as lazy
ibra-his moments of genius are amazing but id like him to pressure more
