Re: Thierno Barry
Just watched the game on MOTD2, and man he missed some good chances!
10 missed big chances so far this season is a great indicator that we are creating a lot, and he's also getting in the right positions, as frustrating as the misses are.
Even if he just finishes 3 of those 10 he's level with Haaland, and we're probably in 3rd place... So I'm more than willing to let him off with this as long as he continues to get in those positions.

Re: Thierno Barry
Probably the best thing for him and us tbh... I don't think it takes much for him to improve to a 15-20 goal a season striker.Bumble wrote: Mon Oct 12, 2026 9:03 am We don't have any choice than to forgive him. He's all we have.
Even at the rate he's going, with all his misses, he's still on target for double figures at least.

Re: Thierno Barry
Desperately needs to work on his heading though, too many off them are decent chances that end up off-target (I recognise he did have one disallowed against Ipswich)

Re: Thierno Barry
I think he is good and only going to get better he has 6 goals could and should have 12/14 he is getting into the positions not taking the chances it’s coming though

Re: Thierno Barry
If Thierno Barry had 14 goals so far this season, from 16 good chances, he would be the greatest striker in the history of the game.
6 goals and probably should have a couple more on balance, with one goal wrongly disallowed.
He's developing really well and is proving to be a real asset for us.

Re: Thierno Barry
Wish we had some kind of evidence based approach that would tell us what tends to happen to strikers who consistently get on the end of good quality opportunities over time.
Damnit why why why must we be stuck with this blasted eye test

"I was really scared about posting that.
"And I said: 'No, I just need to show myself'," says Barry of the video released on his YouTube channel last month.
"Last season I showed a version of me [that wasn't] me and [people] need to learn about me."

Re: Thierno Barry
One of the more revealing parts of that video is where his striker coach said you might think the manager is a bastard and that he has to show him how hard he can work, whether he likes him or not.
Not sure if that was just a general comment or not but really stood out for me.

Re: Thierno Barry
Hes an absolute bag of shite. He has next to no positive involvement in the build up and his finishing is largely laughable. Vile shite. He is consistent though

Re: Thierno Barry
Another easy chance missed today, big opportunity to put us ahead, did very little else.
Don’t think there is much else to say really. We know what we’re getting so just have to suck it up until we have other options.

Re: Thierno Barry
And it doesn’t bring much to the team.
He doesn’t run the channels or hold the ball up.
It’s so frustrating
