Lee Barnard to Stevenage (on loan)

[sufclee]

What do Barnard offer us though? He has no pace what so ever and has his a yard or two. Glad he's off our wage bill

We don't know that we're not picking up his wages (or part of) still though do we?

There may (sadly) be some truth in that. :sad:

No coincidence that his best games have come away from home (when starting) - more room to manoeuvre, playing on the break etc....

And scored on his Stevenage debut. Typical!

Indeed, so maybe not the terrible past it player some claim he is. Will be interesting to see how he gets on over the next few weeks.

Jack Payne has been found out though. Three tasty starting performances and then opponents saw him in videos and worked out how to deal with him.
At the moment he is better suited against tired teams ie an impact sub, as long as the instructions of , "when the little one comes on ".like bury, are forgotten

Agreed, Payne was great first couple of games but has been pretty much ineffective ever since. Always said he has to show he can deliver conistently but so far he is far from that, but its early days. Hoping he isnt another Sawyer, looks like he should be good without actually providing any end product.

Certainly dont see the decision to not play Payne as a failing on Phil Browns part, many people dont include him in their pre game team selections so he is far from convincing many fans.

If Barnard carrys on as he has started at Stevenage then he may have some egg on his face, especially if they pass us.

Will be interesting to see if Elliott is out for a while. Can we recall barney????

 

[Jam_Man]

There is a minimum time before you can recall them if I remember correctly, so no.

I thought that may be the case. Massive slice of bad luck for us and the lad Elliott though
