I agree I thought Barton was a waste of space..totally inept not tackling passing to opposition and not winning headers.. I looked at the subs and thought ok we may as well keep the useless git on
I think I would score Burge a 4. May seem harsh, cause the rest of his game was very good, but on being interviewed last night on CWR he sort of hinted at the wall maybe not being right again and Mowbray said something of the same.
If that is the case then unfortunately he is culpable for the goal and that in turn may well have cost us 2 points. You can't then even point at the great save later on, cause the score then was 1-1. Had we still have been winning that incident may well of not happened.
That mistake, if it was a mistake, was very costly.
Barton is frustrating. He has some skill, but then decides most of the time to pass the ball sideways or backwards and he very easily gets knocked off the ball.
We have been saying this all season long, our midfield is a liability and not strong enough.
In defence of Barton he very rarely has a forward ball to play so abysmal is the movement in the team

The Nick Proschwitz mistake was 10x worse. 6 yards out and a striker can't even hit the target? unforgivable! Simeon Jackson rememeber him? He would have buried that! How he is getting overlooked really really frustrates me. If anyone was to blame for the free kick its Aaron Martin for making a silly tackle in the first place in a very dangerous position.
It was causing players to take two or three extra touches more than they needed toThe pitch didn't help Odelusi to be fair he was trying to dribble with it and it was bobbling all over the place.
