I like sheffers. Don't think he gets the praise he deserves sometimes.

Sheffers didn't ways produce that quality final ball yesterday but his work rate and desire is unquestionable.
I also think Bakers energy was missed at certain points in the game, although Barton did very well

Harsh as it is, McSheff should be dropped to the bench, Baker RM, Moussa LM, Barton AMC, Barton is doing well and he's scoring some great goals.

No matter how good people think Baker is, that yellow card was a foolish booking, I think Robins was not impressed looking at his face during the S.B.Player interview, we've just beaten the second placed team 4-1 on their own turf, no way should anyone be dropped.
Baker should start on the bench.

I'd sooner start with Baker as he has overcome a lot of critisism to play consistently well for a while now. Barton is showing some signs of improvement and as much as I've criticised him, if any player can turn things around and play well then I'm all for it, but still Baker all the way for me. If Barton keeps working hard and taking his chances when he gets them then who knows. I'm just glad that we are getting some real competition for places and everyone is pulling together to go forward as a team.

He isn't doing that well, he's scored 1 league goal? Barton should get the nod. Better goal scoring record this year (Barton 10 starts 4 sub, McSheff 9 start 6 sub) Barton and Moussa are our joint 3rd goalscorers in L1 (Ball got 3 but 0 in L1).

So would that mean keep Baker out? We won yesterday with Barton AMC in Robins' words "our best performance of the season".

Chief Commentator!
Thing is, 3 of his 5 yellows were stupid dissent bookings and all of which could have been avoided.

It's easy to have a go at Barton, McSheff and Baker when we aren't doing well as many on here did, so I'm pleased they are doing well. Particularly Barton, he doesn't seem such a "luxury" now, does he? He comes in, he scores. It's great to have a player who can come off the bench or step into the team and do the business.

It's not all about goals, and you say Barton is playing very well at the minute - he's started just 2 games since the Bournemouth game over 2 months ago (6th October). - Morecombe and Doncaster, the rest of his appearances in this time have been in the last 15 minutes usually when the game was already won.
Sheff has started virtually every day on the brilliant run we've been on and although he hasn't been scoring he has been contributing, and his running and movement has helped create chances and space for others.

Not his goalscoring. His overall work rate and team play has been fantastic. His final ball let him down yesterday but he was involved in everything. Brings a bit of experience to the side, something of which we haven't got a great deal of.

Barton is the man to be dropped to the bench. A good team and spirit will understand that. McShefferey has made a huge difference since getting his act to gether which I beleive was merely fitness and confidence. Now he is looking like his old self. The quality he has at this level can create havoc for defences. The team has a solid feel about it at the moment.

It's a man management issue for me. Baker got suspended, which is his fault. Barton came in and scored and contributed to our best performance of the season.
To drop Barton says to all the reserves that there's no point trying. To leave out your captain and arguably the form player on principle shows strength and consistency.
I don't think Robins is happy enough with the players to risk complacency slipping in.

Who's to say if Baker played yesterday he would of scored 1/2 goals?

True, but McSheff is supposed to be a goalscorer? I agree with what you're saying, but on the point about Barton coming on when the game is won: you can only impress in the time you're on, he's done well every time he's come on, his assist to McG was very good which killed the Colchester game off, we could've conceded again and drop 2 points and a very good win. He played well v Donny and should start v PNE, he should be well up for that game! Baker to start RM, Moussa LM, Barton AMC, 2-1 CCFC.
I did notice his contribution to the 1st goal. (Sheffs)

Did you see sheffs work rate for 90 minutes?
Mucca Mad Boys
Well-Known Member
Work rate isn't the be all and end all, good to have, yes, but Barton is pretty hard working and is a better player IMO, so should start.

Yeah, but thats the point, he wasnt playing for picking up stupid bookings, someone wlse has come in and done a good job.
so tough luck for Baker, get your arse on the bench and wait for your turn.
DON'T PICK UP STUPID BOOKINGS = DON'T LOSE YOUR PLACE !!

The point is, the team was only changed due to suspension. Baker is now back, so will be back in the team.
Barton was a very good replacement yesterday but is not a 90 mins week in week out player(stated by Robins),baker is. As for sheffers, have no idea why his name is even being mentioned.
He's been a catalyst of everything that's been good about the past month or so.

He hasn't been that good, been good, but not the catalyst you state, if anyone deserves that, it has to be Baker, remind me how many assists he has (1, maybe 2) over the last 2 games and 9 goals.
I don't think Robins said that about Barton, he said he's a player you build your team around, ad he'll get his chance in the coming games (about 6 games ago).

A catalyst not the catalyst. Like I said sheff and Barton two different players.
