Joey Barton, Saviour of QPR? 10:42 - Mar 15 with 4589 views | pomanjou | I do not like this despicable specimen of humanoid. A Hollywood pass master he is not. Taking corners he should not. Taking free kicks, he should not. One thing he is good at is getting the team moving with energy and drive and frankly those two things were so badly missing against C Palace. When he was Redcarded at Hull I never wanted to see him again in Hoops but whilst we pay him the sort of money a week that most spectators would aspire to earn in a year we should be pragmatic. I hope he comes back into the team next weekend fully energised but with his brain engaged. I know that is asking a lot but risks now have to be taken as we are in the swamp up to our armpits and desperate measures are needed. Discuss. | ![](/images/avatars/1857.gif) |

Joey Barton, Saviour of QPR? on 11:27 - Mar 15 with 4504 views | Petros | He is one of this squad's better players. He has good stamina. I have defended him a lot on this board against some unfair criticism I think but his behaviour at Hull was indefensible so I'll stop. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |
Joey Barton, Saviour of QPR? on 11:27 - Mar 15 with 4504 views | bosh67 | He's a berk but we do need him, even though it is partly his actions that have put us in this situation. He is the best leader we currently have on the field, remembering that Clint isn't playing that often. | ![](/images/avatars/1510.gif) |

Joey Barton, Saviour of QPR? on 11:42 - Mar 15 with 4464 views | actonman | I'm sorry , but people can't keep calling him a cnt etc , wish he was gone and continue to blast him for his behaviour and then moan that we need him in the team then blame him for not being available due to suspension ! Yes you can moan that his corners don't get past the first man , some of his set pieces ain't great and he try's the Hollywood ball once too often but he is a lot better than a lot of the other useless tssers playing for us and does look as though he gives a sh!t when playing. Slate me all you want , yes he can be a silly boy but since his return from France I can't see he has done enough to get villafied for our every defeat !

We have 9 games to play in roughly 9 weeks during which he will pick up £630,000. We do not have anyone else who can inspire, energise, drive on the other players like he can. Do you not think that in our dire circumstances we should take that gamble wherever he is in the 'biggest c@@@' table in your mind? I know its regrettable but he is one of our better players and has something that none of the others seem to have. | ![](/images/avatars/1857.gif) |

The problem is that Barton is as likely to get sent off as help the team win a game so I don't think it's worth the gamble at this stage. | ![](/images/avatars/8501.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Well at what stage would it be worth the gamble? When we are 9 points adrift of fourth from bottom and 3 games to play? | ![](/images/avatars/1857.gif) |

Sadly, Henry and Sandro both need a Barton-type next to them. Both have done OK, but a midfield pair they ain't. | ![](/images/avatars/5743.gif) |

It'd be worth a gamble if Barton was half the player he thinks he is but in the real world it's just not worth it. | ![](/images/avatars/8501.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

"Do you not think that in our dire circumstances we should take that gamble wherever he is in the 'biggest c@@@' table in your mind?" Pom, you mention the word gamble, gambling is what we've been doing unsuccessfully for a few Years now so with that fact in mind I think I'd give the gambling a miss for a few Years. I think Barton is a bang average player in a pretty poor team, he might as well play but I don't think he should just walk back into the team after his sending off, in fact I don't know what i think anymore, It's against Everton and unless I'm wrong Barton is an Evertonian, can you imagine the Everton players winding him up? I can. If our players need motivating to put a shift in and perform properly on the pitch as they are supposed too for our remaining games then they need bloody shooting. | ![](/images/avatars/1438.gif) |

If Henry and Sandro are the best we've got, no wonder we're in trouble. Neither create anything. | ![](/images/avatars/1276.gif) |

Joey Barton, Saviour of QPR? on 19:29 - Mar 15 with 3920 views | TacticalR | The fact that he has been relegated and promoted with us and Newcastle suggests he's a top end of the Championship/bottom end of the Premiership player (and that applies to a lot of our players). | ![](/images/avatars/7026.gif) |

Joey Barton, Saviour of QPR? on 22:00 - Mar 15 with 3773 views | SimonJames | According to my analysis of who has "started" in games where we have picked up points, Joey actually ranks in joint 7th place with Henry: Out of the shambles that started the game against Palarse, only 5 of the top 10 were present (and 2 were on the bench). I suspect that despite the significant amount of criticism he picked up throughout the season, Leroy Fer was actually more influential than Joey. | ![](/images/avatars/11425.gif) |

In that case you should join the queue for firing squad places................. I know we have been gambling for years but now is surely the time continue. He gee's things up and the only (!) danger is that he gets over gee'd up himself. As the old song by somebody or other goes, 'its now or never'. [Post edited 16 Mar 2015 9:23]
