I still can't see how JOB gets away with garbage but everyone jumps all over Barton.
Hes one of those players who when a pass goes astray or short gets blamed whether he was the passer or receiver.Be honest most of our fans think that. Example was when he played the ball back to JOB on the edge of the D in the first half but JOB had stopped. Crowd blamed Barton.

JOB gets away with stuff over Barton because he is a constant goal threat, won't chicken out of a tackle and always gives maximum effort, even if he has a poor game.
JOB has 6 goals this season. Barton has how many?

Pleased you agree that JOB gets away with stuff.He was zero goal threat today. He only got a few crosses in when he dropped back to right back.
BTW. If Barton had had the shot 20 yards wide JOB had in the first half he would have been slaughtered.
bit unfair to count goals when Barton has never been played in a forward role whereas its part of JOB's role to bomb forward.

Barton is not a defensive midfielder though is he. He quite often does find himself in and around the box.
Do you know how many goals he's got over his entire career? 6.
There's no doubt the lad has skill, but he lacks pace, can't tackle, can't score, lacks strength, doesn't run into space, gets knocked off the ball too easily and more often than not just goes backwards and sideways in his passing, rather than forwards.
I can easily criticise JOB too, but this thread is about Adam Barton.
Ah sense and reality at last!!!!!!!!!!!!
He's a midfielder who gets into some great positions in the final third but very, very rarely if ever SHOOTS! HELP

I just find it odd that anyone would start a thread on a player who played only the first half in a match in which the whole team was garbage. Especially as he was no worse than at least 7 others.
it looks like scapegoating to me. Missing the point that all were poor in that first half.

In a 12 minute spell in the 1st half, Barton misplaced 1 pass, job 2 and fleck 3. Guess who's pass got all the groans from the crowd?
also, he played 2 excellent passes into the box and found our players. Fleck none, job 1
agree, overall he was poor, but fleck was worse and JOB always seems to get away without criticism after shit games.
As someone else said, most of the players today were poor. Is there a thread on each of them?

Barton Bashing seems to be a common pastime amongst the sky blue faithful from time to time.
Over the last 4 to 5 weeks he has passed some great balls and shown a nice deft touch at times...but today the whole team were just not up to it.
Don't just pick on Barton all the time..he ain't great ..but there were far worse individual performances by far on that pitch in a sky blue shirt today.

Pressley sacked, Webster dropped....they are working through their excuses before accepting reality! Having let in three I am suprised Burge isn't in the frame despite how he played today.

Weren't much difference in the two efforts, and lot of the groans were probably because Nouble had a simple pass on to Stokes who was on the overlap

Correct. At least maddison was central of the goal. Nouble was quite wide on the edge of the box, stokes on the over lap and people in the box waiting for a cross.

JOB does get one hell a lot of stick at times. And you have to remember, Barton was taken off at half-time today, so we weren't the only ones who thought he was shit.

Check out the player of the season thread, and how many rate JOB as our best player over the season. That's tosh.

Not denying he was shit today, but it could have been nouble or fleck off at half time. They were equally poor.
I just think Barton seems to be the figure of hate, and so gets "some" OTT criticism at times. Someone said he always goes sideways or back. That's complete bollocks He usually looks forward first, and "if" there's a runner, he tries to find them. That "if" has been rare this season...
If he ran his bollocks off for the team, and made even more errors, he might even be a contender for Man of the season.... :sarcasm:
Errrr MLS is way too high a level for Mr Barton.

Im genuinely not trying to be contentious, but are we proposing the ability of a player is purely determined by the number of goals and assists they contribute?

Not for everyone though, but it surely is a parameter for a midfielder?
Ok so he doesn't score, he doesn't assist. Is he is amazing defensively then?

I agree, to a point at least. Not all midfielders are goal scorers or creators or tacklers. There's another kind, who's typology is to do the simple things and efficiently recycle the ball, á la Michael Carrick.
How well that sort of players works in League One, or specifically in our system, I'm not sure.

I have said several times before, Barton is in the wrong division. He is not suited to the blood and thunder of League One.
