Billy Paynter

[chucky1973]

got better as the game went on and at the end was one of our best players on the park, the fitter he gets the better he will get.

 

[Marshy]

Thought he had a good 2nd half.

 

[Stumpy Tim]

One of our better players today, after Tanno and Greer probably. Held the ball up, kept it and looked dangerous when he picked up the ball from deep. Very happy with his display

 

[Biscuit]

One a few useful knock downs and did his job well. He made an excellent run that took two defenders with him when Noone hit a strike wide in the first half.

Until he gets a good run of games he probably won't get his scoring boots on but it was a solid performance by him today. Useful addition to the squad.

people do see different things! Paynter isn't world class - but seen him twice now and he seems pretty neat and tidy and getting better the longer he spends on the pitch. The flick on for 2nd goal was excellent - i also thought his control, touch and passing was fine - not spectacular - but fairly solid.

 

[LamieRobertson]

solid game to me...partnership with CMS shows promise...how many full games can he have played one roast 6 months? not many!

 

[Art Vs Science]

Set up the the 2nd goal essentially and to be honest, offers something different to what we have already. When we break, we have very little options when the cross is put in off the flanks(mainly Noone) as the forward line break much quicker than the midfield so we have very little to cross to when we get there. We need a more attacking midfield player to support our forward line. We had 2 defensive midfielders(Navarro and Bridcutt) and although this affecting our attacking options it also helped in our defensive play. Solid performance and although i was surprised by the starting line up, it worked well.

People not seeing the bigger picture do not realise that Paynter is the link player between the slow breaking midfield and the fast paced forward line

 

[LamieRobertson]

was sparrow injured? not on subs bench either

 

[KNC]

Jury's out for me. Having said that, his little flick for CMS, made the second goal.

 

[u'vebeenamexed]

For a big guy he doesn't seem to win much in the air but a great flick on to CMS in lead up to Harleys goal.

Give him a chance.

 

[bristolseagull]

I thought he was useless. He's overweight and clearly (and understandably) unfit. Moreover, he looked disinterested.


Get rid asap.

 

[Blackcap]

Well he's definitely more accurate than Danny Drinkwater...

Seriously, let's give the guy a decent chance before drawing conclusions.

 

[trueblue]

He put clean CMS clean through for the 2nd goal which is exactly what we've been lacking. Otherwise a pretty decent game all round as far a I can see. A lot of potential for their partnership. I just don't get some people and their negativity. Paynter Really made a difference today. He plays in a way which nobody else in our team can. Very useful forward link.

 

[Lifelong Supporter]

He looks to be a hardworking player and today he contributed well. I do not see him scoring many though. Whether he is value depends upon the fee and wages.

I'd ratheru went ASAP clearly no idea about football

 

[Napper]

Been backing him from the moment we first were rumoured to be after him. Was not good today I'm afraid

Really? It's funny how differenty people see games. Those around me were less than impressed, and even my girlfriend (who accompanied me for her second Amex game) thought he looked slow, lethargic and bored! Still, Murray used to meander around the park looking like he couldn't give a shite- but he turned out alright.

I'm not sure he offers more than barnes.

 

[Silent Bob]

He takes too many chances to score a goal, he's not what you would call a natural finisher.

Does he?

Wouldn't I?

 

[Albion Dan]

Thought he had a decent game and offered much more to our all round play that Barnes does. He certainly made a nuisance of himself around the Barnsley back four.

 

[Rookie]

Looked decent in the 2nd half but seemed to playing a bit of strange role sometimes on the right sometimes behind CMS but not really up top holding the ball up which was what I thought he was brought in to do. Seeing as how he is out of game practice he was hardly horrific
