Barton is shit, he will be gone at the end of the season and be lucky to be playing in L2 come August.
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.
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.
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?

Ah sense and reality at last!!!!!!!!!!!!
He could have pulled the trigger about four times todayHe's a midfielder who gets into some great positions in the final third but very, very rarely if ever SHOOTS! HELP
He's a luxury we can not afford to gamble with and very, very rarely shoots when in great positions in the final third.
Carrying him far too many times, surprised he even reached HT?
I am no Barton fan, but trust me I have seen a lot worse, and that depresses me quite a lot.
you cannot be trusted
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.
On that note, nouble took a player on and shot and got groans. Maddison had a worse shot but got clapped.
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
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?
That's utter tosh, JOB's always getting unfairly slated on here.

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.
Errrr MLS is way too high a level for Mr Barton.Just before half time I said to the guy who sits next to me I wonder what career Barton will have after the summer when his never ending contract must run out, my thought was playing a guitar somewhere or maybe the MLS or A League.

He's not good enough for the A-League.

JOB has 6 goals this season. Barton has how many?
Ok so how may assists does he have?
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.
