Pressley: "I must say though that I was delighted with the attitude of Adam Barton who has been out in the cold a bit but his attitude towards playing the game tonight was first class
Is he this year's Jordan Clarke? Told to leave but then forces his way back in with a positive reaction and attitude?
Personally I hope he stays. Yes we all know he has limitations. But if we are playing 352 then we are gonna need to have a fair few centre midfielders on the books. Plus in a midfield 3 his defensive frailties will be less exposed compared to when he has played in a central 2 for us, and he'll be able to play his natural game more freely.
To be fair it's not just Pressley, Robins quickly bombed him out the side when he arrived too, and he didn't get a kick on loan at Fleetwood towards the end of last season either.
He's featured on just 36 league games in 2 seasons, and he hasn't been out injured during that time.
To be fair, that's twice as many as Mohamed Coulibaly has had in his entire career (2 years older) and he was only injured last season. And Barton was recovering from a long term injury when he joined us.
So by your logic we shouldn't have signed Coulibaly
Just maybe it'll be .......... Carl Baker ??????????

a complete waste of a wage..
Are we paying his wage? Or do Bournemouth want us to try and get him fit?
whilst i havent got his pay slip in front of me, why would bournemouth send him to us for free when they could have him as part of their squad doing the same thing ?

I went last night and Barton was different class.
Bossed the game.
I think a midfield 3 would really suit Barton. I like him a lot, my kind of player. But he's got to learn to press if he's going to play for Pressley.
I'd like to see him come good too, both for the team and for himself. There's got to be something gritty about the bloke, because he's certainly not throwing the towel in. It would be great to see everyone get behind him and really give him some encouragement - maybe a bit of confidence would make all of the difference.
He's definitely a confidence player, unfortunately those don't tend to do well at City.
