[Albion] Oh Bart !!

[METALMICKY]

You are pleased Steele is no longer being crucified by the fans yet start a thread to pile on Bart when he wasn’t at fault for the goal. Sold well short by a weak back pass and the attacker got the lucky break that he closed it down well and the ball hit him. Bart pretty blameless in my book on this one, he couldn’t do much else.

The back pass is the main issue here but I'm thinking maybe Bart doesn't need to go down and try to slide kick the ball clear. Stay upright with knee over the top of the ball and you might even get a foul if attacker runs into him. Perhaps the slide is he's wanting to avoid a clattering.

As previous posters have qualified had this been Steele the pile in would have been monumental. Bart certainly wins the debate with shot stopping but in other areas I don't think there's a huge difference hence RDZ rotating up till now. Maybe RDZ has seen something in training of late that seems to have drawn him towards favouring Bart?

Sorry. Where did I pile in on Bart?

Sorry I thought you had started this thread, clearly got you mixed up with the OP. My apologies chap.

 

[brighton_tom]

Could this not have been said in the Bart thread, or the match day thread? Literally a new thread for every comment these days.

I feel Steele would have been quicker and braver in the same situation, Bart still has quite a few errors due to inexperience. Time to give Steele a run again to see if we can get back on track.

Laughable! Give Bart the gloves till the end of the season! He will make errors but will learn! Steele is and has always been a sub standard keeper!

 

[Jeremiah]

not sure what else he could’ve done there. was put in that awful situation by baleba

This. He made the ground to deny Brownhill put couldn't put the ball anywhere else. I thought he had a good game and certainly would not blame him for the goal.

 

[maresfield seagull]

He should have picked it up

You might have to explain this one
Seems a few may have been whooshed by the back pass rule
NO Hands allowed
Oops seems I have

Having watched this one on tv, with the benefit of replays, the back pass WAS short but Baleba was stretching. I think Bart did the right thing, and it was just unlucky to get such a direct deflection. It could just as easily deflected off Brownhills knee and gone wide. One of those things….
Thank goodness their goalie gifted us with a much bigger f*** up to nick a point

 

[Garyoldfan]

What has Bart done wrong?!

Thought he had another good game actually. He’s a solid presence and getting better with his distribution every game

f***ed up for the goal is what he did wrong . At least Steele didn’t play ay.

 

[Garyoldfan]

The op is a Steele fan boy! He couldn't wait to have a dig at Bart even though it was a shite back pass from Baleba!

How dare you

 

[Garyoldfan]

How dare you

I stick up for Steele and I’ll highlight Bart’s mistakes like everybody did for Steele. That’s fair enough isn’t it ?

 

[AlbionBro]

Steele would have gone head first. Bart doesn't look like a big enough nut job to do this, he is way to pretty. You need a brain like Pickford.

Bart did nothing wrong for the goal, Baleba was short on the pass and then Bart was very unfortunate. How many of those do you see in a game where the ball bounces away safely?! No blame on him for that though.

Let’s be honest Bart bottled it. Coward.

 

[Flounce]

The game of pretending Bart never puts a foot wrong continues as the winless run goes on

Well I thought he looked solid today, his passing out has improved big time too. It wasn’t him that made the short back pass either.

I am a Steele fan but Bart has deserved his run of games imo.

No player is perfect and yes in hindsight he should have got his body down in front of the ball.

This reply sums up what a cockwomble you are!

 

[Eddie Bee]

It was a backpass. He couldn’t simply save it with his hands.

Yep, I thought them was the Rules

 

[Eddie Bee]

Should have gone with his hands, not feet. Poor back pass though.

errr, Back Pass....there lies the quandary

Admin - could you check your terms and conditions re. the term ‘cockwomble’ as an insult .

 

[dazzer6666]

Erm that was a Baleba howler ffs

Warren was ranting about it being Bart’s ****-up on the radio, until Jonny reminded him it was a back pass and he couldn’t pick it up
