He brings bad press to the team. Every time he did something stupid here it gave us a bad image to the press and other fans. Saying that he is still a good player.

Quality player. Not sure where you guys are playing him but he is most effective as a right midfielder. A lot seem to think he is better centrally but we never saw the best of him until he was on the right side. I suppose you guys signed SWP for that though.

He's playing in the centre at the moment, not very well.
I think all this changing his image bull**** is ruining his game, we haven't seen him snarling and getting anyone by the throat! Some bit of business replacing him with Cabaye.

Northy tip: that's rugby mate if are paying a bloke to be aggressive sorry but that ain't QPR We always have let our football do the talking now we are just talking about football
 
He was great at hoofing the ball to Andy Carroll, could put in a good cross. Just don't let him on set pieces or expect to burn past anyone.

Once Carroll left though he was a man without a country and his effectiveness decreased massively. He had a few games in the centre under Keegan where he played well but other than that he was ****e there.

It has to be said that last night was another totally ineffectual performance by Barton. While the old stalwart Shaun Derry made some howlers he did at least look committed and it was no surprise whan NW was sending in his instructions via him rather than Barton near the end. I think Warnock has got himself in that situation that so many managers find themselves in: having put so much faith (not to mention £80k a week of the owners cash) in Barton he feels he must keep playing him even when he is clearly not delivering the goods. This is a big mistake IMO.

Totally agree
 
I agree with Warm Pouch that he is best used in a deep lying RM position. But then again it depends on your personnel. You really need a target man to feed off his crosses (which were top notch for us) or it's pointless. You also need quite an attacking full-back that will overlap him, which will allow him space to put a cross in. I can't really comment on where he would play to suit you best as I don't know much about your team. Do you usually play a 4-3-3?
