Barkhuizen

That was Barky

Been corrected by a few on this thread already. You’re correct. Got my Ryan’s and Tom’s mixed up!

We were right behind Barky's shot. It was proper top corner, would have been a screamer. Good save from their keeps. That was the start of Barky's little golden 10 minutes.

 

[Warton PNE]

I was right behind it…it was the follow through that was very dangerous and should have been a red.

Sat in the Town End so couldn’t really see the challenge itself. Ledson has got that in him. Could have been even more than 4 if he saw red then.

Yeah I saw the reply after posting. Itchy trigger finger

Wasnt a red in my book but just a totally unnecessary tackle. Whistle had gone and he just clarts Wilks for no known reason.

Gave the ref a choice to make

Frustration as I think he knew he was poor today. Totally ineffective.

Not many players have his pace and a long throw in their locker. Such a vital cog in this team, fair play to him in his post match interview, saying it how it is. Sad state of affairs when once on your own players is saying it.

He was doing the same against Man City youth team.

Same thing. They were getting the piss taken out of them by kids and being given the run around. He reacted with stupidity. Has that in him unfortunately.

That's the problem with Ledson, does something daft like that once every match.

It probably shouldn’t have been a red but it was a ridiculous thing to do. Judging by how the referee ran the game today, and last night at Bournemouth, the new directives do appear to have led to more challenges being let go - and the games have been better for it.

As an aside, one of the Hull players seemed to throw a Glasgow kiss at Ledson in the aftermath, something that the officials seemed to miss (unless I was mistaken of course!)

On Barkhuizen, play to his strengths and he’s our best attacking threat. Don’t play to his strengths and he’s possibly our most ineffective.

As some may know that having watched Barky at Morecambe i have always rated him.
Today he didn't have the greatest game, seeming frustrated at times, and yet he was probably the only one who showed any 'spark' what so ever.
Although he had an off day, he was still better than most.
As an aside i thought Evans was particularly poor today.

Very poor today for me, he offered nothing and was rarely involved.

 

[BPIG]

There was nothing in that Ledson challenge. They showed a few replays and he just clears the ball and Wilks falls into him. The way he makes his tackles is so weird though, always makes it look so much more aggressive than it actually is.

I know this has been discussed at length on various other threads but what is going on with his contract situation?

Yes he was partly to blame for the equaliser but by the same token he was playing out of position so I'm not putting that solely down to him. That aside considering it was an abysmal team performance Barky looked like our only threat. He got an assist and could have grabbed a goal or two. He's a dangerous player when on it and has consistently put in good numbers in terms of goals and assists for a considerable number of seasons.

Not only is he a key player but he speaks his mind, doesn't come out with cliche bollocks and generally seems to have his head screwed on. These are the kind of players/characters you want in a side, especially when you invest absolutely fuck all in terms of transfer dealings. The fact that he's now into his last year with seemingly no offer on the table is a fucking shambles yet again.

If this is Pearson/Davies MKIII in terms of contracts then PNE can just fuck off. Barky is a really good player in a pretty stale team. This is lunacy.

I'm sure a few renditions of "Peter, give him a deal" will show Tom we're firmly on his side.

I'd prefer to hear plenty of renditions of "fuck off Peter".

As said already, need to play to Barkys strengths otherwise its pretty much pointless playing him at all. Would be a travesty if this contract situation ends up a repeat of the "big" four, he deserves to either be offered a contract (sooner rather than later) or be sold to someone who wants him. He's been a good servant so far and doesn't deserve to be left in limbo. Imho!!

 

[Durutti]

People have given him shit for yesterday when he is the only one who created anything and then nearly scored from distance. Our best player right now and I just hope that is communicated to him by the staff.

 

[djwoody]

He's a very decent championship player. As we will only bring players in below that level, it's vital we get Barky signed up ASAP. He's going to be our main player in the league one promotion push.
