Either Graham Barrett has suddenly got good, or Jamaica fielded a team of devout rasteferians for this game!!

it must be that jamaica fielded a team of rasteferians cos i cant see him suddenly becoming good

Shot from about 25 yards, bounced off the turf and went in bottom corner. Good strike.

He'll probably score another in about 30 games time (a la Carl Leaburn - remember him CAFC Matt)!

 

[Comedy Steve]

He's doubled his strike rate since moving to Coventry.

at BHAFC : 1 in 30 games
at Coventry : 2 in 31 games

He's practically on fire

I'm a Coventry & Ireland fan & was at the game last night. He played on the right, as he has done all season for Cov when he has been fit and did very well. His 31 games for Cov this year was made up of 11 sub appearances & has been injured for a few months in the middle of the season.

Jamaica were pretty awful in all honesty but you go only play against what's put up in front of you. It was his first senior full cap & 2 in 3 appearances (he's Ireland's most capped U21 player too) is obviously better than any strike rate he has had anywhere else at senior level.

He's finally living up to his promise as a young'un. His days as a striker @ Arsenal and youth levels for Ireland are well and truly left behind him as he's proven he's not an out and out goalscorer. So to have a go him for not scoring is a bit harsh.

Just putting the other side, Kev

Barrett is more of a midfielder. His greatest asset is his pace. If he had the skill to go with it, he'd be dangerous!
