Barrett is BACK!!!

[Shrimp Curry]

Prosser been a stand out in a very good defence last couple of years, will be very harsh if he's dropped. I don't think Barrett and Prosser will play together.

 

[Big Albert]

Great player first time around at this level but have to say I prefer Proser AB was never blessed with speed and I think he will be found out now when he needs to turn and get back.

 

[Strykr]

Does this mean I can get my 1 adam barrett t shirt out of the loft? :smile:. I have a slight suspicion ive put on a few pounds since I last wore it :blush:.

Great news for me, I hope he can help us push onwards and upwards. Welcome back!

Just a general question how does it affect current players when a club hero returns??? That first game for ad at roots hall is gonna be emotional with one adam barrett ringing round roots hall. Inspiring...or a bit of jealously

They will have to remember that in AB's last spell he was a club legend and instead of jealousy, surely they will realise that the reception he will receive is only accorded to the very best & those who have earned that accolade, something that every professional should aspire to during their career with whichever club they play for.

He's such a nice bloke I can't really see any of them having a problem with him.

It'll be interesting to see if, when all fit, Brown will be tempted to go all Louis Van Gaal on League Two and adopt a 3-5-2.

A back three of Prosser, Barrett and Bolger doesn't look too bad on paper, and a midfield three of Deegan, Leonard and Payne doesn't look too shabby played behind a front two of Corr and whichever loanee tickles Brown's fancy that weekend.

It'd be typical of Brown to try and make a name for himself by introducing the continental delights of 3-5-2 to us League Two plebs as well.

Where would you fit Coker in that style of line-up?

As one of the wingbacks.

We have played it a couple of times already so wouldnt be a massive shock, but I think we will stick with 4 at the back.

You had me up until there...

Brown's paid money for Bolger. If he doesn't feature in a system that employs three centre-halves, it's about as damning an indictment of his own transfer policy he could produce.

Are you saying this will be the line up for Saturday. What about the other 2 in midfield.

 

[Cockle43]

According to Chris Phillips earlier today, neither Hurst or Barrett have trained so far this week so I wouldn't hold your breath about either of them playing Saturday.

White and Coker would be the wingbacks.

These marquee signings eh :hilarious:

Maybe John White will be looking over his shoulder as Barrett could be after that captains armband now:smile:

He said Monday he's not here to step on anyone's toes. White is Brown's chosen captain, regardless of Barrett's past here.
