He is much better in a 2, he just doesnt suit a 3 at all

That being said, I dont think he is a great defender anyway

I'd actually prefer to play with ten men than have this useless fool in team.

He was no worse than the rest of the clowns in there last night

If you picked him to play as an old fashioned CH in the champ he would be ok. God knows why Moore saw him as a potential Beckenbauer.

No he wouldn't. He's absolute garbage.

No sense of danger, no positional sense, canâ€™T header a ball, canâ€™t pass a ball,no accountability for his own actions, an over inflated ego

Absolutely rubbish.

He was probably the least clownish of a lot of clowns

As a 'defender' he reminds me of a throwback to Matt Carbon & Shaun Murphy

Has anyone ever seen him make a tackle? I'm sure he must have done, he's had enough minutes, but for the life of me I can't remember one. Murphy was better than him. Carbon, god yeah he was awful as well. About 500 cross field 50 yard passes, not one ever hit it's target and as for his reading of the game, lol, about the same as Bartley's.

I'm still trying to figure out what he keeps pointing at when he's on the pitch?
Maybe he's our official pointer

Him and Livermore are entered into the doubles of the "World Pointing Tournament" in June, so need all the practice they can get.

I have to say, despite how poor he's been pretty much every time he's played this season, Bartley had a very good game tonight, both defensively and with the ball at his feet.

If he can play like that with any sort of consistency I wouldn't be averse to having him in the team next season, particularly with the Dawson and /or Hegazi likely to leave. (If they do leave, Bartley will be the only CB remaining in our squad who has played at all this season).

gazberg · « **Reply #262 on:** May 15, 2019, 12:36:39 AM »

Yes I'm far from a fan but played well over the last 2 games.

Agreed. Credit where it's due.

BalisPen · « **Reply #264 on:** May 15, 2019, 12:39:19 AM »

He was great and played like the signing we hoped he'd be.

TheJacko2000 · « **Reply #265 on:** May 15, 2019, 12:39:51 AM »

Shame he had to let Abraham out of his pocket to take 2 penalties.

TheBrom · « **Reply #266 on:** May 15, 2019, 12:46:09 AM »

Think he was my man of the match alongside Hegazi tonight. Won absolutely everything in the air and looked assured all night.

baggiebof · « **Reply #267 on:** May 15, 2019, 12:46:28 AM »

Clearly more comfortable in a deep lying defensive setup. Just a shame that he was recruited and then we attempted to play expansive football out from the back, another example of our incoherent recruitment policy.

Black Country Pride · « **Reply #268 on:** May 15, 2019, 01:06:42 AM »

Fair play to the man. Absolute rock tonight.

chipperclark · « **Reply #269 on:** May 15, 2019, 03:10:08 AM »

Thought he was one of the stand-out players for us in the 2 Villa games....and I was the one who said"play the tea lady ?" humble pie time.

beechyboy90 · « **Reply #270 on:** May 15, 2019, 05:01:10 AM »

Don't think he's done bad the last few games. Like many players he needed a run of games... ask the man to defend and he's alright ask him to play like Gerard pique he will get found out.

Might be our only senior centre back next season...

Would be perfect in a Pulis side, with another 4 CH's alongside. In a football team however???

Fritzl Palace · « **Reply #272 on:** May 15, 2019, 09:25:32 AM »

He looks fine at the centre of a three man central defence, much like Luiz at Chelsea, but if we are looking to play 4 at the back next season which I hope we are, he cannot be a starter.

Mister AT · « **Reply #273 on:** May 15, 2019, 09:28:35 AM »

There's a good chance he may be captain next year, dependant on outgoings and the manager.

SmethDan · « **Reply #274 on:** May 15, 2019, 09:45:32 AM »

I'd like to know where Kyle's twin brother's been all season.

Two for the price of one, Jenkins must be rubbing his hands.

Here's hoping twin number one stays on his holidays while his brother keeps him out.

Seriously though, well done that man last night
