Guest HTT II Posted April 18, 2022 Share Posted April 18, 2022 (edited) I have to admit that montage of Billy posted earlier was a good watch, I know the level isn’t the PL/Championship, and on that montage alone it looks like he’s a level or two above that standard, but you can’t beat actually playing regularly regardless of the level and if you have something about you, you will step up and he clearly has ability, the next step is does he have the attitude, aptitude and the desire to do so. I think that is so important and equal and if not more needed than mere ability alone. I do hope yous go up and we are not desperate for him to rejoin so I’d be happy if he continued his journey with you guys a level up. It’s easy to say loan him to a Championship club or bring him back, again, it’s game time these boys need and if you’re good enough you’re gonna be good enough. If I was him, I’d rather play week in week out for the Gas than an odd substitute appearance in a Cup game for us or sitting on the bench every week.

This fella is the business, if he can hack the physical part of lg2 football (which he has) and the raw enthusism he has for the game plus good coaching then he could be dynamite for Newcastle United. Sometimes you just have to trust your youth/home grown players! We have in the past and they all had decent careers in the Premiership. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

All sounds very exciting for the lad and us of course, again, I’d not be averse to him remaining with yous for another spell, even if yous don’t go up which fingers crossed yous hopefully will.

80 Posted April 18, 2022 Share Posted April 18, 2022 On first sight he looks to have more of a direct eye for a goal than Maxi.......... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

xLiaaamx Posted April 18, 2022 Share Posted April 18, 2022 I don't think the rules let you use a returning loanee do they? We had to beg the PL to let us use Watts a couple years ago. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way, I'm super excited for this lads future. He looks an absolute star. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted April 18, 2022 Share Posted April 18, 2022 I think it's particularly exciting that Barton has used him in multiple positions. Gives him a great opportunity to get game time with us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenersGas Posted April 18, 2022 Share Posted April 18, 2022 Not only is this boy a unbelievable talent but the moulding within a squad where there is such a team spirit and togetherness is helping his confidence to grow,Joey Barton is definitely driving his mental ability at this level and I think in the coming years you boys will look back and not only thank Barton but also thank Bristol Rovers football club..Up the Toon Up the Gas Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
