2025/26 Thierno Barry

[Nymzee]

Some nice touches, more involved than previous. Still doesn't look a threat though.

 

[jazzy]

He's still shocking. Is he as bad as who he replaced ? I genuinely don't know.

 

[Khalekan]

One slight crumb of comfort today.

Barry looks to be improving.

I did find it funny how he kept pointing to where he wanted the ball played every time we attacked even if it was impossible. Guess he’s been told to show for the ball more

 

[Zezti]

Long for the day when we can praise a striker for scoring rather than having a couple touches of the ball for a change.

 

[knowing your history]

Anyone got a YT compilation of the goals he scored in La Liga last season? Would be interested to see how he tended to score them as it's clear to me the speculative ball over the top to turn a defence isn't going to work with him.

For all his flaws Beto is at least a willing runner who can press defences so in this style he's still the better option but it's not great. Desperately need another CF in January.

Based off a decent few touches he'll probably start against Sunderland next week. Does anyone feel confident he'll play well? I doubt it.

 

[Ivo]

He's absolute dog shlt. Got abuse on here for suggesting it after his first appearance.

 

[Chrismac]

Thought he done alright when he came on, if we persist with Dewsbury Hall at 10 it means we will never be sliding through balls through the middle, everything will go wide to Jack or Illy and even though they are our best players my about 10 miles, they both put their foot on the ball and slow all our attacks down.
Alcarez is key if we want to try and get the best out of both Barry and Beto with their limitations.

No, Beto is gash, shouldve scored that one that Ndiaye got across start of game but just has no perception of his own body position.
And never ever links up play.

 

[Clarky cat]

Give him the next 5 games minimum as a starter, at least he has some control over his limbs.

 

[bullybeef]

Not fast enough, always seems half a yard behind where he needs to be.

 

[Eggs]

Some positive signs but who would be surprised if it was followed out by a complete no show if he starts at Sunderland?

…..but at least it finally looks like he might have something.

 

[blueconverse]

Thought he did well when he came on. Held ball up and actually passed to a teammate

This. Best game yet. But still..
