Thanks JP.

Great interview and cracking to see Tyrone eager to prove Vale wrong and play for CTFC - the original CTFC I might add!

Yes, a very good interview. I’m sure we can all look forward to Tyrone proving Port Vale and their fans wrong, like Harry Pell did against Grimsby.

One thing this interview taught me though, was how important it is for players to feel wanted and appreciated, not just by the fans but by the managers as well. It can have a very marked effect on confidence.

[Robin]

Oh I hope you are right and all he needs to turn things around is a little bit of TLC. Of course you'd have to question why he didn't get that from two different managers at Port Vale (maybe genuine reasons) and why his record at clubs since Crawley has been poor. I'm not saying it's impossible as it can happen just be realistic here.

There's a quality player in there it's just bringing the best out of him, good luck Tyrone and welcome aboard.

The “just be realistic here” comment implies that you have already written him off, because he ‘failed’ with two different managers at Port Vale. The fans appear to have taken a dislike to him there as well, which would have affected his confidence; sometimes a player’s face just doesn’t fit, so fans won’t give them a chance. I remember when Byron Harrison was here, he was Player of the Season at the end of his first year and then fans turned on him because of a perception that his languid style of play meant he was disinterested, but he was surrounded by a very poor squad.

Tyrone Barnett’s record is not as bad as you think in the League since leaving Crawley (where he was prolific), as he has averaged a League goal every 3 or 4 games, apart from just Port Vale where he only made 8 appearances, and Wimbledon where he averaged a goal every 5 games).

If our fans get behind him (the “TLC” that you mention) and he becomes a talisman for the Robins, it’s a win-win. I hope he succeeds, and I don’t believe that’s an unrealistic possibility.

Robin will write-off any player Milton signs.

[BenhallRobin]

Potentially an excellent signing, the ability is there, it sounds as if the application is too. Whatever has gone on before is now irrelevant.

If we can love him back to something like the player he was at Creepy, it will be an amazing signing; if not at least we have a good target man.

[shevates]

Im not sure if RM should be manager, but he has impressed so far. His four signings to me are potentialy good ones. He went back in for Jones who has done well. TB some may think a bit risky but if it comes off will be a great signing. Mooney is raw but has under 23 experience, and Field has league experience and looks promising. Well done Russ

Building a good squad for Jerry to manage!

Just needs to walk the walk - job done
