For our best passer, Barton hardly found a team-mate all bloody match.
A few went astray, but he's still our best passer. Sometimes the execution was poor, but sometimes I felt the receiver failed to anticipate. They were flat-footed instead of running into space.
and their wasnt much exactly to aim at. also i do feel his reputation precedes him, alan smith did a hell of a lot worse than him before getting booked than barton did.
All our players were wasteful in possession, but I've rarely seen a player's misdirect/misweight so many passes as Barton managed today.
