Can Andy Barrowman contribute to the team this season more than last?

My two cents:

I think Barrowman could contribute goals this season. He was clearly out of his depth at times last season but equally he scored over 25 goals for County in the Second Division. I don't think you could score that number of goals and be incapable of making an impact one level up. Last time out Barrowman was part of a strike force of Adam Rooney, Garry Wood and Rory McAllister, with no experienced player to play alongside. Now he has an experienced targetman in Richie Foran and some players with real pace in Odhiambo and guile Sanchez, if he lives up to early promise, I think he has the potential to concentrate on bagging goals.

One aspect of his play is his confidence - he had the look of a player out of sorts and timid towards the end of last season. Hopefully he will be gee'd up and ready to prove his worth.

Thoughts?

Butcher says in today's Courier:

Andy Barrowman didn't do anything wrong really. It's just Danni Sanchez gives us that little bit more threat in terms of his movement and his pace

If that's the case, why didn't he A - start with three strikers (as he was touting last week), or B - keep Barrowman on, and put Sanchez on at half time, taking off one of the players having a dreadfull game, ie - Bulvitis, Proctor or Duncan.

Cause thats common sense and he lacks it!

He loves it

Heres how I see Barrowloads now I've had a think about it,

SFL2 Goal machine...... yanked from his level and thrown in to the deep end up in the SPL, he lost his edge/confidance as he was out of his leauge, still gaining experiance playing and training at the highest level, now weve dropped a level, hes got the senior leauge behind him and is playing at a more acceptable level, all he needs now is his confidance.. and we'll have a goal scorer again..

That's the common sense that allows Sanchez to play alongside Grantie or at right back or wherever!

Got it!

on saturday he was never the one to be hooked at half time. was actually fighting for the ball etc

No one better disrespect "Big Dunc"!

Used to work with him and hes a great laugh, told him he could do the job better than Brewster and i told him to apply for it but he's a die-hard Tim so he politely declined

But, as a die-hard Tim he was quite happy to go to manage The Seagulls.

No he didn't .

i completely agree, i was extremely suprised he was hooked, looked a lot more determined than ive seen him in the past

i mean in the first two mins he had charged down a long ball and won a throw in. not a major contribution but would we have seen that last year. just need him to score at the weekend and it to be the winner
