2025/26 Thierno Barry

Barry, is a conundrum. I don't hate the guy based on his footballing skills but I hate the guy for his off field antics. I still think there is a decent footballer in there but his game is so spotty that we need someone who is hungry for that goal. And he just seems like someone who would blame the xG for not scoring enough.
 
i thought he went to grab the ball to restart tbf

Not what i saw. Ball bounced back out the net and he just picked it up and booted it.
This is one of them grey areas. Can we read to much into it. I dunno. Ive always looked at it down the years. Players who celebrate when its not them who've scored. I like it Tbh. You look at players like dewsbury hall and ndiaye. They react just as much to the team result as much as their personal performance.
I always think you're onto a winner if you pack your squad out with players who are arsed about the team losing.

Yeah he paused then booted the ball. Either hates kdh (possible) or just knows he's leaving soon (probably)
 
As a striker you should always want to be the one that scores. Especially if goals are not coming that easily.
Maybe he had hoped the ball would have been wizzed across so he could have a tap in, he was in the right place. When I was a striker that's what I would have wanted.

I remember we once lost 8 - 0, I had a stinker but bundled a corner in and was the only one going home feeling alright.
I also remember me having 3 assists in a Cup semi-final which we were winning 4 - 0 at half time and came off the pitch frustrated and mad because I hadn't scored and my strike partner (and cousin!) had got all four!


But, reading too much into this I think.
 
he didnt react at all when KDH slotted at the end. I want players who care, get in the bin Barry
This is nonsense. He'd have had a tap in had the keeper saved it after KDH. He's constantly moving around for that goal.

There are enough things he needs to improve on, without trying to invent ways to criticise him.

Own goal?

Hate is a strong word mate. I don’t think he has done anything to hate him, I think he’s made mistakes but I am sure we all did when we were 23 and most likely, we were not in a foreign country with a lot of spotlight on us.

Yeah, 23 is not young. But you are right, hate is a strong word. Lets say a bit more than mild dislike right now. He has been self centred for a his duration here, compare that to Beto who has been a great sport. And he has been a professional for about the same amount of time.
