Barton should be stripped of captaincy

[Shania]

I want to see Barton more in the middle of the pitch. I dont know if he has played there before but Derry is too slow.

Agree, Barton and Faurlin in the middle, SWP and AT out wide.

Barton is probably playing the best of the 3 in my opinion. Team spirit has taken a dive in recent games though results or barton influence, who knows.

A Geordie I know and I posted this a while back said joey will ruin our club with his attitude I told him he was talking ******........

[Rieger]

Thought barton played fine today.

We were off tune today due to that 0-6 hammering. I think the whole team had the willies cos of it.Second half was a lot better and will get better....Watch out Chelski !

[The Godfather]

Barton did ok. Seems some wo t ever warm to him.

Derry, SWP and Young were all poor today. Not enough went on at the back to judge Hall or Ferdinand. Poor game in general.

Hall was responsible for Blackburn's equaliser - beaten in the air far too easily

[QPRDave]

Think we've got to sort out which 2 to play in the centre,but surely if we play Adel he's got to have a free role,not on the wing.

[LoftusRoadLad]

We need to play like we did against the Toons....goals will follow.

SWP specifically was shocking

[swanleyhoop]

Benny I want to warm to him , he plays like he doesn't want to be here, if he's playing out of position then warnock has to deal with it , Derry looked spent today he should have moved Barton into the middle, just frustrated that the player with most pl experience not taken any game by the scruff of neck
And dictate play, that nzonzi bossed the middle today was a embarrassing shambolic display by our midfield , my concern that bartons lack of energy spreading through the team

After the Newcastle and Wolves game I really thought he showed the spirit we need to stay up.
Since then, I have been more and more disappointed with his lack of fire. Today, along with a few others , he looked disinterested for much of the match. The only ones for me who looked like they wanted a result were Faurlin, Traore, HH, Derry (but he's starting to look slightly out of his depth) and AT when he came on -- although, with so many others misfiring, his impact wasn't what it should have been.

I feel quite sad about today.

what are you talking about - Barton was average - but Derry showed he is not ready for the Premier League and never will be - awful performance.

SWP specifically was shocking

don't agree at all. He actually made tackles at the top of the pitch. Not his fault he gets the ball launched through the air at him when he is tiny.....thought the sub was wrong.

Far too much hoofing, which, when you think how tall Mackie, HH and SWP are, was never going to be the most effective tactic.
SWP should have stayed on and the flagging Derry or disinterested Barton taken off.

[Wrighty]

Barton was good today, ran his socks off and got stuck in...terrible thread!
