Yep. I don't think there is room for Barton AND Fleck in the same team either and if it comes down to a straight choice, I think we have to go with Fleck. As you say, Barton has it in his locker, but hardly ever produces a very good performance. On the ball yesterday he did some good stuff, but...

It's off the ball that irks me the most with Barton. Sometimes he simply refuses to move into any space and just stands there wanting the ball directly to his feet in the spot he is standing. When that happens though invariably, he just passes the ball back to where it came from.

Just watched the highlights in order to confirm my thoughts and dispel your strange comment there, Oakey. JOB's goal was placed beautifully and was anything but scuffed.

I think we look elsewhere. If we can't find anyone to replace him, then maybe we can keep him for another year, but do any of us actually believe he will stay injury free next season?

Yep. Sounds like desperation and trying to better each other. Where were these policies previously?

Problem with have got of course, is a total lack of central midfielders in the squad.

Ooh err. I couldn't disagree more. We are a weaker team with him in the side.

Who? Proschwitz? Barton? Who are you talking about?

I have consistently said we are going to stay up, you lemon! :D

Quite nice day too and an important game.

Yep. Colchester today though were very poor I thought.

He did play well. Hardly put a foot wrong.

I think we need to get rid. He flits in and out of games and is not the sort of player you want when you need to knuckle down and grind out a victory. How many MOTM performances have we had from him in all the time he has been here? He has skill, but he lacks the drive and passion and...

Yep, it;s so frustrating. You can see he has ability, but as you say, half the time he strolls around the park as if he is at Ryton.

I don't think he did have a good performance. 6 for me is average and I said I was debating as to whether to give him a 5 or not. He didn't have a good performance. I very nearly though changed Barton from 5 to 4 too.

One moment summed him up perfectly. Willis had the ball near our own corner flag. he had an opposition player about 5 yards in front of him. Barton stood to Willis' side, about 10 yards sidewards. Behind their player was absolutely acres and acres of space. All Barton had to do was to move into...

I disagree. He did a few good things, but these were very much overshadowed by the bad stuff.

Most definitely. At least 5-7. There is a definite change in our approach to games and now we seem to be trying to win rather than not lose.

Definitely getting better And better and we should definitely keep him, but I think if we want to be a top 6 side, we need to look for a more experienced keeper.
