Barrett’s Banger

[Silasgoldeen]

Very good strike.

The lad needed it, after a few selfish moments and ball hogging again.

Doesn’t need to try to do too much himself, just work your magic then play the ball.

Quote from a Spenny supporter friend who was at the game yesterday.
“They deserved the win and had a fat bloke who absolutely ran the show” Obviously doesn’t understand the game like you do Alex.

hahahahahahahahaha. That's the best quote to come out of this whole weekend.

"had a fat bloke who absolutely ran the show"

priceless. I'm so happy.

Which fat bloke?

Would like to admit at this point that at the beginning of the season I raised the point that Barrett looked overweight, and was generally annoyed as I felt he had loads of ability but wasn't bothering to get in shape. Regret those comments now, as clearly he's been one of, if not the best, Shots players this season. Could be immense next season if he gets his head down pre-season and comes back firing on all cylinders

You could see how much Barrett was enjoying himself during that second half on Sunday, he was playing with freedom and he just has that boyhood love of playing football. It was no surprise when he hit that stunning half valley over the keeper into the far corner. For sure, it's a goal I'll remember for the rest of my days.

I made similar comments, CS, but I don't regret them. I feel they were warranted at the time. It's difficult to judge for sure, but I have the strong impression that Josh's weight and fitness have both improved over the season.

he said something in the last programme before wembley about football having been a bit up and down for him so he was focusing on enjoying it now. I said this to my son a while ago, what's better, to earn a bit more money but every day be a bit of a grind, or to be universally adored and one of the best players in the division, scoring spectacular goals and part of something like this?

There are many reasons why talented players don't "make it" but I think Josh has been self-aware enough to find a situation that works for him. He seems like an amazing bloke who's got this little part of the world at his feet. Long may it continue.

Have to say that will go down as one of the great goals in Aldershot colours. Along with Abbo's Header vs Basingtoke, Bully's Pen vs Hendon, Will Evans Volley vs Tranmare and Scotty's winner vs Torquey. Have I missed any?

Was it the best? My opinion is yes. Some of you may thinbk differently.

Cant stop watching it.

Dean Morgan at Cheltenham. But otherwise, spot on.

Agree with all of those. Danny Hylton at West Ham was pretty special as well.

You couldn’t have written it better.
What a header from Kwame in the build up.

Absolute cracking goal RRRRRRRRRRRRRRichard and Kwames header was spot on, used his weight for the header.

Theo's goal against ???

I listened to BBC Surrey's commentary Rob Worrall and Steve Gibbs were chatting about Barratts weight issues. And both said he had toned up, and was probably fitter at the end of the season than at anytime with us. He has got his head down, and reached a level of fitness that enables him to do what he does.

I agree, Kwarme had s massive part in that goal.

I thought I heard SG on the TNT commentary as well?

Some of the Swindon goals were a bit special!
